I just purchased these flats from Nordstroms Rack for just $34 today because it was the day of new arrivals. They're the brand Facode, I love the color and shape of the shoes. I don't have a variety of color of ballet flats, I only have boring neutrals. Don't get me wrong- Neutrals are good, but not for every outfit. I found out they had this shoe in dark brown as well, but I couldn't resist the deep green color. Though it may not look like it, these shoes are actually very comfortable. Now I just have to figure out what to wear with them!

The Little Dictionary of Fashion
The Little Dictionary of Fashion by Christian Dior- yes Christian Dior- is 126 pages of genius. Classic fashion rules that will probably never die out are stated from A to Z. In the A's are the rules of accents, accesories, and even age. You can't forget ballgowns, the color blue, and blouses for the B's. I had purchased the very last one on the shelf at the University Book Store. It was on the very bottom shelf hidden behind a large a Coco Chanel book. I was so excited when I found it because I had been thinking whether to get it or not on Amazon. I bought it for $19.95 which seems expensive for a little book, but it has priceless fashion rules written by Christian Dior himself.

Post Numero Uno
My name's Chloe Frances.
----
Don't you think my first and middle name should be switched? "Chloe Frances" doesn't sound right to me. Anywho, I'm becoming a Sophomore this year. I attend a little private school in Seattle and I actually love it there because even though it gets annoying with everyone knowing your business, everyone's really close and it's nice that way. I'm full Korean (Not North Korean- South Korean. Just had to get that out of the way. Haha), but I was born in the United States and so were my parents. ----
I love anything to do with fashion and art. I've had a knack for drawing ever since I was in kindergarten; I remember my teacher giving me an art textbook type thing and told my parents I had talent in art. I wish I took art classes and such, but I didn't. I still draw and sketch in my spare time though. And fashion has just always been a love of mine. ----
How did I come up with the name- Chloe's Boat?
I tend to say "Whatever floats your boat" often, so I just got it from that. It's not too random right? Haha. And I also thought it was a cute name for a blog. ----
I'm not sure what I'll be blogging about most on here, but probably the usual- fashion, art, books, my life, rants and raves- all that good stuff. So please comment and give feedback, and I'll link you.
