This was never an idea of a post. I don't understand fashion and I'm not quite sure I'm able to even write a sentence on the subject, but these past few days I have fallen in love time after time with Selena Gomez's outfits and I HAVE to share this. I know there has been quite a lot of articles stating they are as impressed as I am with her European promotional tour outfits. But I don't care, I will be another voice in the crowd. It's stronger than me. I can't control it. I mean LOOK AT HER:

If you know me a bit, you probably know I'm a hidden Selena Gomez hard-core fan. It's not something I scream out of my lungs, I mean, I don't have posters of her hanging on my walls. But I have loved her, followed her and rooted for her from Wizard's days 'til today, without fail. Despite all of the extremely trying times (caugh Bieber caugh)...

I'm not quite sure what it is about her. There's an identification with her, an appreciation for how she always seemed very normal in interviews, growing up with her being around the same age as me combined with finding her gorgeous. Which means, I have always observed her style. Most times I loved it, many times I didn't. However, none of us have ever been able to define so clearly what style she has been going for as we can lately.

Revival is the name of her next album (one fans are extremely hyped up about, as it's her first non-Hollywood Records album) and I guess Revival is what the girl is trying to do with her public persona and fashion sense. And nailing it.

These are classic outfits, perfectly fitted, solid colors, delicate and timeless cuts which, combined, allows her to look effortlessly chic. It's as if she just came out of an old movie. Yet it still looks perfectly fitting for her age. The LBD in the first picture is one of my favorites, despite the simplicity of it all.

This one is another one my little heart fell in love with and cannot stop thinking about. The big heavy midi skirt combined with the knitted cropped gives me a french effortless feminine vibe. Add that cute side hairstyle and I am dead.

However, as much as I would like to be all this is the "Revival era style" and credit this entirely to her stylist's good taste, I have seen traces of this sort of style slowly and increasingly show up in Selena's wardrobe for quite a while now. I am guessing it is now more prominent due to maybe, just maybe, her being more comfortable with herself now that she is older and completely free of Disney. Even in her casual outfits, you could already see the minimalistic, sober, simple yet chic lines pop up once in a while. And now it's here to stay.

Shut up, I know for some reason my blog is posting things with a day in delay. Shut up, I know I missed a day if you count the way it's posting but I swear I missed nothing. I've been posting religiously on time. I committed and I'm doing it perfectly well! Shut up...

5. Kid President

Simply because of this video, which is my favorite youtube video of all time:

4. Natalie Dormer

She had my heart as Anne Boleyn. Seriously, I dare you to watch her as Anne and not fall in love with her and her acting skills. She made The Tudors what it was and after the unavoidable death of Anne, it was never the same without her. But I watched The Tudors about 2 or 3 years ago. I already knew she was awesome. So why is she on my top 5 people for 2013? Well, I got into Game of Thrones. 

Ok, I didn't really get into GoT. Truth is I missed The Tudors and started losing myself in the vortex that is youtube watching a million different interviews and specials related to the show. Which led me to finding out that Natalie was now working on GoT. That was the first moment I got tempted to waste my life with GoT. Then I researched a bit more about her character (trying to avoid spoilers as if my life depended on it) and talked to a couple of friends that watched it. By then I was sold. You see, I'm that in love with her that I think she's worth all the emotional roller coaster you get into with GoT. And she's not even a main character.

With losing myself into the youtube vortex of interviews and specials and now adding GoT related ones to the mix, I soon realized Natalie is, at the same time, a great actress, gorgeous, sexy (seriously, there's just something about her), intelligent and funny. Watch her interview with Craig Ferguson, she's lovely. Anyway. I'm gonna stop now..

3. Zoella

No, my love for Zoe won't stop, can't stop... I've mentioned her as a youtuber before, but truth is she started out as a blogger and now she has one of the most followed blogs around, though she hasn't been updating it as much anymore. I like Zoe 'cause I feel like I could be her friend. I like her because she's super girly and loves beauty things but, at the same time, doesn't seem to have much of a hard time laughing at herself (which I figured from watching her collabs and vlogs). She really seems genuinely sweet and caring. Struggling with anxiety herself, she made a post and a video about it trying to help everyone who suffered with it as well. Along with that, recently Zoe and the most adorable Louise have started making what they called "Chummy Chatter" videos in which they discuss difficult topics, also trying to help out their viewers. I find it incredibly lovely when people realize that they can use what they have to help others, even if it seems simple. And although none of the issues they have discussed directly affect me, I have found much comfort in just taking my mind off things while watching Zoe do hauls, challenges and vlogs. She's so cheerful and bubbly that it ends up rubbing off on us in the end. For that I thank her loads.

2. Grace Helbig.

Shut up. I know I've also mentioned her before. Shut up. I know everyone knows her. Shut upppp. 

Grace is grace. I can not tell you how much I want to meet this lady. I want to thank her for making me laugh out loud on lonely sunday nights. I want to thank her for not being afraid of being so goddamn stupid in the name of comedy. I really do. I do.

Grace is now 28 and, though you can see that she is so much more mature now than on her older videos, it's great to also notice the fact that she never left the silliness that makes her so damn great. I don't know what's up with all these Youtube ladies, but I truly believe they are all incredibly good people who I'd love to be friends with. You know, you just want to have a drunken party with Grace and laugh of all the ridiculous things you can do. You just do.

Recently, I've learned that Daily Grace will no longer continue to exist. I am mourning this with a heavy heart. So, 2014 will be exciting to see where Grace will go. She does have the release of the movie she filmed this year with Mamrie and Hannah Hart, Camp Takota. And she is way beyond just being Daily Grace by now. Which probably means, she'll be fine. As long as she keeps the silliness and stupid. She'll be fine. Follow her at her new channel to see her continue to make internet history at It'sGrace!

This is an unexpected turn of events for me. When she first came out with her Camp Rock acting and smiling, I really disliked her. She annoyed me in many ways and I only actually started accepting her better when I realized how adorable her friendship with Selena Gomez was (I'm a huge Selena fan since way back in the day). But one thing's true: I always loved her music. Here We Go Again is still to this day an album I praise, love and listen to on repeat. 

But this year, Demi turned everything around. She really does seem to be recovering well this time, she seems to be more open about her mental health issues and her addiction (and not simply for publicity), she got rid of all the people that were bad influences to her and she put out a great pop album. She has grown up tremendously and has been giving the most honest and graceful interviews, being careful to never through anyone under the bus and being very polite as well as being herself, something I don't think we used to get as much when she was busy covering up her issues. I've been finding her so lovely, so adorable and so strong. It was a shock and also great news to know she lived months of her recovery in a sober house. And she wasn't divulging it! She was simply doing it because that's what she had to do for herself.

I can today say that I'm proud of her. I've seen her grow up from her Camp Rock days to her X-Factor days. She has come to be a lovely, strong, truly inspirational person. I love how she has been admitting that she will have difficult days, she has relapsed, she is still not able to do certain things, but that she is still trying as best she can. And that's really what we all can do, right? 

Demi, keep it up, girl, you're doing wonderfully.

I've grown up as a John Mayer fan. As much as he is an asshole at times and he has said many, many wrong and weird things, his songs and lyrics are everything I love. He is the one single artist I have the most song on my iPod. Not only that but I have multiples of the same song because they are different versions and all of them are incredible. 

With this song he wrote to one of his teenage loves, he has melted my heart and made me cry from the first listen. This song makes me reminisce on who I was when I was 15 and question my own life choices. Wonder if the people who liked me and were proud of me when I was 15 would still love and be proud of me today. Wonder if I lost myself along the way or if this is just how growing up feels like. John makes me feel nursed and uncomfortable at the same time with these lyrics. And I can see he has the same trip I do when he sings these painful and beautiful words. Because he got his dream but I guess it got away from him.

I have not always loved Demi. But I've always loved her songs and her ability with songwriting. Her wording comes in a simple, emotional and beautiful way. Though "Unbroken" sounded like a disaster, she redeemed herself with "DEMI" and gave us a perfectly well executed pop album. Shouldn't Come Back is my favorite one of the album. It's simple and painful. Initially it sounds like a heartbreak song. But if you actually pay attention, you may notice that it's really a song to her father. 

I won't say much about the problems Demi and her father have experienced as, really, we don't know much about it, but she has a couple songs on it and mentioned in interviews before that they didn't have the greatest of father-daughter bonds. This song basically demonstrates how much he hurt her and how much she's scared of going back to that relationship, of the pain it might bring back. Her father passed away this year, which only makes this song that much heavier. 

However, the emotional charge she gives to the song, the simplicity, the lyrics, her powerful voice and the secrecy of this song, never sung live and never mentioned in any interviews, makes it all so special.

Since I've been having quite a crappy end of the year and today marks the last 5 days of that, I decided to focus on the better, happier, more enjoyable parts of 2014. What that means issss... I intend of doing one top 5 list every day until the end of the year regarding a bunch of different random topics that made my year a pretty damn good one. Because time is better spent thinking about and celebrating the good memories than moping about the ones that aren't going to happen anymore. Right? Yeah.

So this year I have started following a bunch of different youtubers. I already used to watch the big guys, you know, Jenna Marbles and such.. but I started to explore the youtube community better and found some entertaining and lovely people. I succumbed to youtube, like I succumbed to TV when I was 10. I even subscribed to a lot of them!

5. Charlieissocoollike

Many of you may know him from his Challenge Charlie videos or maybe as the dude who does pretty awesome duets with himself or as the best friend and roommate of Alex Day (a.k.a. the guy who read the Twilight books online). I'm gonna be honest here and say I have no recollection as to how I met Charlie. It probably was one of those internet blackholes you get sucked into that starts out as watching cooking videos and end up with learning how to wash your dog.

Anyway, Charlie got me with his adorableness, nerdiness, british accent and lovely simple science videos. However, recently he's been slacking. Okay, that might be mean. He has been trying to make actual short films (he has put two of them online and they're pretty neat, I mean, it's a youtuber doing actual movie quality work - I clearly forgot how to phrase things haven't I?) and he is one of those youtubers that care a lot about putting his best work out for the viewers. But at the same time, I feel as if he lost a bit of his... thing. I don't know, maybe it's because I feel like youtube is not meant for perfect videos or because he's now a grown up, but his videos don't feel the same.

Still he has been one of my consistent favorites and I have always gotten excited to see what he will bring with his new videos so.. For that he's on this list. For consistently entertaining me and keeping me excited.

4. Letsmakeitup1 (now KayleyMelissa)

Kayley is a beauty guru. Better yet, she's a hair guru. This year I have learned a million hairstyles and it's all thanks to this lovely lady. I love her videos basically because she's super sweet, her videos involve a lot of braiding (which is my favorite), and she gives actual technical and scientific based advice since she went to Cosmetology School. I love love love her hair styles and she makes them pretty manageable for beginners, like me! Plus, her hair is quite similar to mine which gives me a good idea as to how it will look like in the end.

3. Sprinkleofglitter

Louise is also a beauty guru. She is also a mom, a wife, possibly the world's greatest best friend to Zoe, an Adele look alike and a funny adorable woman. I have to say that her style doesn't really match mine at all, but the girl has such an amazing spirit that she made me fall in love with her. Louise basically is everything you need to feel better and also everything you need to realize the world is full of crazy, adorable, funny people. Her videos go from mommy-esque themed to beauty hauls to random babbling to funny collaborations and I love every minute of it. She also has a daughter called Darcy who is frequently in her videos and is equally adorable. 

2. Zoella

I found Zoe through one of her Primark hauls, since I kind of love Primark. Basically, Zoe is supposed to be a beauty guru but she ends up doing so many different types of videos that it gets all really entertaining and not all boring or forced like many beauty gurus can get. Her videos are very nicely edited and somehow the girl does everything well. I got to a point where I got so obsessed that I watched every single one of her youtube videos, from oldest to newest, which was quite interesting since you can definitely see her growing and maturing and becoming who she is (the quality of the videos evolve a lot as well, I might note). She is adorable, nice, tiny (I like that cause I'm tiny and I like getting new ideas of how to style things when they're all generally too big for me) and has great taste. Or at least I think so. Her videos are lighthearted and cute, I don't even know how many hours I spent watching them (many of those hours were right when I should be studying too). Another awesome thing about Zoe is she is pretty open about her own problems (as open as anyone will be on the internet, really) and you get the feeling she's a real freaking person and her life isn't all perfect and that only makes you love her more and more. 

I also should say she hangs out with a bunch of other great youtubers (like adorable Louise mentioned above) who have awesome channels and they all collaborate all the time and their videos together tend to be hilarious. They seriously have gotten me to laugh when I only wanted to cry about a million times. 

1. DailyGrace

DAILYGRACE IS GONNA TEACH YOU - HOW TO - DO SOMETHING - DING! Seriously, favorite youtuber ever in the history of ever, I would freak out as if I were meeting Ryan Gosling if I ever saw Grace in real life. The girl is hysterical in that awkward cute way you and your best friend are when you're together. She posts videos monday through friday, every day is a new theme (Miscellaneous Monday, Comment Tuesdays, Review Wednesdays, How To Thursdays and Sexy Friday) and every day is Is-Grace-totally-drunk game day! I swear to you, Grace will make you laugh, she does not fail. And she does while looking pretty, while drunk, while uninspired, while cooking, while sexy, while giving you a lecture, while talking about pop culture and while looking like she just got out of bed. She's like youtube comedy super woman. 

Grace, by the way, just like Louise and Zoe, is a part of a really awesome group of friends. Her bestest friends consist of Mamrie Hart and Hannah Hart (respectively You Deserve a Drink and My Drunk Kitchen), also big comedic geniuses, and no one in the world should miss out on the hilarity of this trio together.

In all seriousness though, I used DailyGrace videos as motivation to study (read 5 pages, watch a video), relaxing time and let's-not-cry-about-your-ex-boyfriend-time. I owe Grace a bunch of laughs and a big hug. She's funny and she makes you feel like it's okay to be nuts every once in a while. She also doesn't have any more fucks to give, which only makes it all more fun.
