ConGraduations Class of 2012!

It's been forever since I've blogged, but can I just say: YEA FOR SUMMER!
I usually LOVE school, but I was so ready for it to be over!
I had a good time my senior year. . . I just got a bad case of "senior-itis" towards the end of it!

so, CONGRADUTATIONS to all of you who (like me) made it through and got that diploma!

This is the graduation dress my mama made me :)

Polo Skirt

This is the skirt that I created from the LARGE mens polo shirt! I think it turned out pretty good, but I still am working on improving it before I make some sort of tutorial! Not that it's all that difficult to figure out!

Well I hope to get it out soon!

Old + Old = NEW!

This is going to be a quick tutorial/walk through on how i took an old white T-shirt and a hole-y skirt and turned into a new piece for my wardrobe!!

Here are the two old pieces that I altered:

 

1.) i first cut off the sleeves of the shirt as close to the lining as possible:

2.) Then i measured the length of the cut in the sleeves. I then folded my skirt and cut diagonally the pieces that will be the sleeves (i cut them two to three inches longer than the original cut).

3.) Then i pinned where i won't the sleeves to be sewn and sewed them as close to the edge as possible.

4.) And. . . .  Voila! The finished look! Note that i did add a little material to the pocket to give that extra kick and flare!

Problem with Fashionable People!

My little ramble to let fashionable people know to . . . just. . . . stop it. ^_^

Thanks for Watch'n!

Well, Hello There Blog. . .

I seriously WILL get better at this, I SWEAR! There will come a time when I will update my blog at least. . . TWICE or. . . THREE times a week! It's gonna happen, just you wait and see!

Anywho, I thought I'd share my other New Year's Resolutions (even if it is already have through January already)! My philosophy is that it's NEVER too late to start setting and working on goals!

1.) GUITAR: I've decided this year that I will finally take up an instrument and learn how to play!

2.) Feel Cute Every Day: whether in pjs or Vogue worthy ensemble, I should always strive for confidence!

3.) Blog More. . . . I got this guys


4.) Get Out More: And I mean literally. . . like, go outside and breath fresh air for more than two seconds (at least)!


5.) Smile More: 

6.) Love More:

7.) Sing More:

8.) Dance More:

9.) Care. .  LESS about what others think:

And Last But Certainly Not Least: 

10.) Learn to BEATBOX!

Okay! Okay! Just kidding 'bout that last one. . . . kinda

Stay Fabulous Everyone!

Loverly!

A Brand New Year!!!

Time to start a new!
I know I haven't been consistent with this whole blogging thing, but hey! I'll get used to it!

I don't know about the rest of the world, but for me this week has been my first week back after winter break. Since it's the start of a new and sure to be glorious year, I've decided to try to be a better me! For example I made sure i dressed up and felt cute every day this week (rather than giving up and wearing something plain and sloppy like i sometimes do).

Here they are:

Monday (no school!):

Tuesday (first day back, kept it cute and simple):

Wednesday (bold + funky + bright + fun)

Thursday (I love crazy prints!)

Friday (kept it fun and went a bit more summer-ish):

It was a pretty fun week! Even if i did fall asleep in pretty much every single one of my classes ^_^
(oops!) But anywho, i have a good feeling about this year! 2012 is gonna be B-AWESOME*!!

LOVELY!

P.s. I will be post my New Years Resolutions soon!
