Anonyme a demandé: Hi Ylenia! Happy new year! A question for you : did you wait until you get the French school's acceptance and student visa before you moved to France? or did you move and then applied to the school? I'm thinking of applying for next september but it's still too early for the applications and I've been told the results will come out only in may or even July, it just seems too far away :( How were you able to apply so early? thanks xx

Thank you! Happy new year to you too! As the answer the your question, yes I did wait until I had my visa to move to France.

I understand how you’d like to have everything ready already and not have to wait until july, but it seems like the best way to do it. I would recommend you to investigate all the procedures and paperwork you need to do in order to apply for a student visa, and already start making a file with all that you need, then when the whole school applications come, you just need to add this and you can go straight and get your visa :)

I’m just gonna begin my postgraduate next week but the reason that I’ve been living in Paris since last year, is because I’ve been studying french. So what I did, was apply to a french language school got my acceptance letter and with this requested a visa; recently I had to renew it, since that visa was for my language studies only and now I’ll be doing different studies… in order to get the renewal I had to prove that I’m enrolled in an education institution and do some paperwork.

Hope this helps! If you have any other doubt, you can send me an email 

Good luck!

Anonyme a demandé: Still adoring your blog<3 Every picture makes me grin as I think of my past holiday with my bf in Paris<3 You may not remember but you sent me some kind words of motivation for my long distance relationship some months ago and I will never forget your kindness. Actually as I'm typing this, my boyfriend is sitting opposite me making funny faces x3 Thank you for maintaining a beautiful blog that reminds me true love knows no bounds xxx Joyeuse Fêtes a vous~ x

That’s really sweet thank you! I do remember! and you have no idea how glad I am to hear you are doing great and your relationship is strong and going :) and the best is to know that you’re getting to spend some time together, congratulations really! It’s really kind of you to say that, I’m happy be a proof that LDR aren’t a synonyme of “break-up”

Happy holidays to you too! Bisous!

Anonyme a demandé: How cold is it in Paris right now? Do you have wear a big coat??

It’s SUPER COLD! Well at least for me, since I’m mexican and I’m used to a way warmer weather.

And yes, I have to wear a coat 24/7 and I’m not a fan at all! I like layering but for fun not for cold ^^

But to be more objective these days have been between 8°-15°C 

:)

Anonyme a demandé: looking very fierce! with or without a smile, you're always beautiful :) Where will you study next semester? is it a fashion school like ESMOD? is it very expensive to study masters degree for foreigners in Paris? can't wait to hear about your experience! wish you the best of luck ~~

Aw thank you so much! Yes it is, and well I guess it all depends on the person. To me it is indeed very expensive, though not that unattainable since I was able to get a credit from the bank; which means I’m hooked for the next 2 years {I hate debts BUT I really wanted to do this}

And well when one decides to study a degree in Paris, one has to consider not only the tuition fees, but pretty much every expense that comes along {lodging, services, transport, food, clothes, entertainment, etc} so it’s a whole package, but nothing one can’t do with a little determination.

I can’t wait to share with you this whole experience too! Since right now I’m on holidays and I enter next month… I’m pretty bored/boring. So at the same time I’m thrilled and nervous for january to come and finally focus a 100% on fashion studies and hopefully after get a job in a fashion firm. 

I need all the positive vibes possible {I’m so nervous!!!}

Thanks for passing by!

Ylenia

themostinterestingcolors a demandé: Love your blog! I lived in Paris frequently as a child (my father is French) and am moving back there in the spring! If you ever need a model for any of your pictures, I am always looking to work for print and increase my portfolio! (I'm also a circus performer, I work primarily with fire and LED hula hoops, yay colors!).Your fashion sense is also killer, I'm dying to get some tips from you!

Aw thank you!!! How cool is it that you’re a circus performer!? That sounds so interesting! I would love that, though I have to warn you that I ain’t no professional, but I guess we could have some fun snapping around :D
