These are the cutoffs I made earlier. The result is fantastic and I'm proud of myself.
I LIVE this!!

Urban D.I.Y
Omg you guys! It's almost 2012!!! I usually go to church for 3 hours and then to my grandma's house with the reset of my family for a huge traditional sleepover, but this year everything is changing. This year, since New Years is on a Sunday and we have church at 10 am, the family isn't going to have a fun huge sleepover at my grandma's house. And since they want to change tradition, I want to change tradition. I'm not going to church with the rest of my family this year. I'm going downtown with my cool sister and cousin to watch the concert, watch them drop the ball and have a lot of fun and laughs. I've been having styler's block for the past few days, but i finally came up with a spectacular outfit for New Year's. Pics are coming very soon, but I don't want to show you guys before I wear it, so the pics might be coming with my church outfit tomorrow. I bought a lot of new clothes from URBAN OUTFITTERS and they are adorable. I also made some cut offs. They are so cute. They were these too long, high-waisted turquoise jeans that were really cute, but just way too long for me and they were a size too big. So I decided to turn them into some cut offs. First, I cut them the length that I wanted them to be. I didn't want to just make them regular shorts so then, I made cuts in them with a box cutter and frayed the bottom of them, but only on the front. I had some fabric from when I used to go over my aunt's house, who was a hatter and taught me how to sew and things. I cut the fabric into the shape of one leg on the shorts and I sewed it on there. I loved the result and, even when I washed them, they still looked wonderful. I used to wear all these studded belts because they were the style, but I don't wear them anymore so I took the studs off of the belt and put them on the shorts. My masterpiece was complete. They are simply gorgeous and cool and distressed. They are the beginning of a good thing. I have a lot of jeans that my sister bought me, but i don't like. Maybe I'll do something with them too. Pics of the shorts are coming up.

Bohippian O.O.T.D
I loved this whole outfit theentire day. This was my Bohippian outfit of the day.
Jump and Hope for the Best
Today me and Angelea decided to finally ride the bikes we got for christmas for whatever reason. Her bike doesn't have any gears so she was a little ansy about riding it up and down hills and it has petal breaks instead of handle breaks so she didn't like that aspect either. My bike has 7 different shifts and 3 different gears. I thought it would be a lot easier for me to ride my bike than it would be to ride her bike, but I was clearly proved wrong. I was completely out of breathe almost the entire bike ride and we only rode for 10 minutes around the neighborhood. But my neighborhood has soooo many freaking hills in it. And they aren't just any kind of hills. They are big, steep hils that twist and turn for no apparent reason. You can't leave my house going in any direction possible and not run into a hill. There is a big hill to thr right and my house is in the middle of a hill so to the left is a hill. There are just too many hills for me to be trying to ride a bike through the neighborhood. I can't do it anymore. And my panties were showing, which i didn't care if there was a big, black LOL on my butt. I didn't really care about that. My butt was going to be on a bike seat anyways so why would i care? I like my panties. Haha. We haven't really done anything else today, though. I've been in my sister's room with her listening to music since we got back. I just joined Chictopia.com. So go follow me and vote on my looks!! My sister told me it's time for me to get serious about my fashion. I think she's right. I still wear awesome outfits and clothes, I just don't broadcast them anymore. I've become lazy and New Year's is coming up so i think that's going to be my "resolution" if that's what you want to call it. In the new year, I'm going to get real and serious with my fashions. Who knows what could happen? I could become this fashion icon all around the world. It could help me pay for college and medical school. Who the hell knows what could happen?? I really have nothing to lose and the worst thing that could happen is that I just don't get any exposure or publicity and even that isn't such a bad thing. I already have that. But I think it's time for me to jump and just hope for the best.

Forever 15
So today my sister, Angelea, and I went to the Goodwill in Rivergate and had a really good time there. We were having great luck with finding clothes and things like that (no shoes though) and it was 99 cent day for green tags so we ended up spending about 10 dollars each. After we left Goodwill in Rivergate, we went to the Downtown YMCA and then off to Franklin to go to the Goodwill out there. Everyone says how great the Franklin Goodwill is, but i will have to disagree with them after my visit there. It wasn't a good experience. We didn't find anything really there and we only ended up spending about 2 dollars each. When we go to the check out line, it was chaotic and unorganized. This lady in another line asked to see a fur coat hanging up on the wall and the woman that was checking us out decided to take it upon herself to get it down for her for whatever reason. And she couldn't even get that stupid coat down for her life. And then on top of that, shewas sick. So she coughed on my sister's vest and then wiped her nose and mouth with her hand before my sister gave her the card. What a nasty act. That's why I can only shop at the Rivergate Goodwill, it's the most organized and the people that shop there and work there aren't trifeling. They're nice and they smile and talk to you and they don't cough on your clothes because that's pretty darn nasty. It makes people not want to go there... unless they live there and that's the only one they can go to to get thrifted clothes. But I got a few dresses, one that I especially like and that I've been eyeing for the past 2 weeks and it's finally 99 cent green and it had a green tag so I got it without hesitaion. But we went to Cool Springs mall to Forever 21 for me to get some skinny jeans since i can't wear high waisted jeans all the time with everything. It was so PACKED the entire time we were there. It took an hour for us to get out of that place and I blame it on all the people. But overall, it was a good day.

In Love with a Fictional Man Mash-Up
So today my sister and I went to the movies to see Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part I and I made up my mind on what kind of guy i want to marry now. I've basically been watching a Twilight marathon for past few days and I have completely fallen in love with Robert Pattinson. I love that guy. I've really made up my mind. I sported my new combat booties and i absolutely LOVE them to death!! I had my big WILD hair and i know that when my sister and I were walking through the mall and people were looking at us that they were a tad intimidated, which I don't know why they would be. I'm a really nice person who just so happens to be very... well... fashionably young. haha. But while we were at the movies, before we went to the mall, as i was mesmerized by the man on the screen playing a teen vampire who loves a girl enough to die for her, i realized what I really and trully want in a man or boy or guy or whatever you want to call it. This might sound really weird, but i want a guy that has a mixture of other guys in him and his qualities as a man. I only put it in these words to help you visualize it a little better. So.... I want a guy that has a body like Taylor Lautner, a face as GOGEOUS as Robert Pattinson's, swagg like Yeezy (Kanye West), a voice like Bruno Mars, and who's as romantic as Edward Cullen (character from Twilight). That's the kid version. I've been thinking about that since we left the movie theater and I have fallen in love with this vision in my head. I don't discriminate so i don't really care what race he is or his religion since love has no rules. I just want someone that would love me the same way Edward Cullen loves Bella Swan in Twilight. Someone that would take a effin bullet for me and me the same for him. Ya know??? Ever dreamed of something like that?? I dream about it all of the time and I don't know if that means I'm crazy and obsessive, but I don't think so. I really don't. It just makes me a Hopeless Romantic in the simplest form. I want LOVE... So much that i dream about it in the day and think about it at night. Is something wrong with me for wanting love. Someone to love me?? But I know I've now fallen in love with a dream that only exists in my head. People sing and rap and write poems about love all the time. I could write a poem about it but that seems like it would be too typical for a romantic person to do. So I won't. I'll just think about it for right now. Am I too young for this stuff???

Speak a Word
So I wasn't even able to post anything yesterday... :(. But spoken word went GREAT yesterday!! I finally finished this poem that I'm reading at this coming up event. It's GIGANTIC for me since this is my first year doing this and I'm already being featured in a big event. I'm so happy and EXCITED!!! It's on December 3rd, which just so happens to be the day after my uncle's birthdaay and he said he and my fave aunt might be out of town that weekend. OHHH NOOO!!! That's my favorite aunt, my support system. And the choir that I'm apart of is supposed to be having a concert on the third too. Why did everybody decide to do things on that very day and the spoken word event(State of the Word) is an all day thing so I won't be able to go to anything else that whole day, but it's worth it to me. I've always wanted to do spoken word and I've been left in awe by some of the things these teens write and I want to be apart of them. Everybody knows that I can sing, but everybody doesn't know that I can write poetry and be deep. Plus... They're going to be serving us waffles and eggs that morning!! And the people who went last year said it was really good. But I just feel like spoken word is something that I could see myself doing, not singing gospel music. That's not my goal or my path. Sorry. I just gotta try and stop pleasing other people and do what i want.

O.O.T.D
So today I knew it was going to be a little chilly so i wore some shorts with some grey striped tights and my mocs from Goodwill. I wore my olive green cami underneath a button down top and my NEW cardigan that i got from Goodwill for only 3 dollars. Everything i had on today was bought at a thrift store.
I got my daddy to take some pictures of me while we were in Walgreens. I was standing between the toilet paper and cereal... Why are they in the same isle??? I don't know!!
Giving is Better than Receiving
So I went to school today... Again. But on my way to school, while I was listening to On My Own, sung by Leah Michelle, a man stopped me and asked me for 90 cents. Now I'm a giver, so of course I gave him whatever i had (25 cents). He told me he was trying to catch his Greyhound bus and I believed him, i mean, he had some kind of papers in his hands and they looked like they said something about greyhound. And then he only asked for 90 cents... What else can you get with 90 cents??? Nothing in this day and age. Not even two little bags of chips... Not even a bottled drink... But you can get a candy bar with 90 cents. The girl that was walking in front of me had this look of disgust on her face when she heard him asking me for money. That got me to thinking...Why would you be disgusted with someone asking for money?? Why wouldn't you just give them money, whether it's going to be used for food, transportation, or drugs isn't any of our business. Helping is always the best route to take when someone is in need and is coming to you. Doesn't God loveth a cheerful giver and what if that were you someday?? Or something like that. Then how would you feel? But anywho, my OOTD pics are coming soon. And tomorrow I'm going to be a little late. I have spoken word until 5:30 and then i have a mandatory choir meeting at 6:15. So I probably won't post until around 8 or 8:30.

O.O.T.D
Health is the Key
Well today I went to school... On time. After school, I went to the Downtown YMCA with my friend Rachel. I love the Downtown YMCA because it has a lot of cool machines and ways to workout, like it has a cardio theater where you can run, bike, or do the elliptical machine while watching a movie. I LOVE it!! Me and Rachel went into the cardio theater, there was no one in there, and we ran for 30 minutes on the treadmill. They played Get Low, which i thought would be a movie about music or something, but it turned out to be about this old man who wanted to have a funeral party before he died. Weird much??? But back to the working out part, we ran for 30 minutes and then we stretched and left. After i was done working out, i felt so refreshed and good. That's what exercising does for you, you know? Once you start exercising and working out regularly, you start to feel good about yourself and you'll have a good attitude and you'll feel more energized. Not to mention, you look GREAT and feel great about how you look. Only good things can come from exercising, and even though it takes a real commitment, it really pays off in the end. And it's not just exercising that pays off, but also eating healthy and eating right pay off too. If you're working your BUTT out, but you're still eating all the junk under the sun, than you're not really going to see the difference. Exercise and eating healthy and just living a healthy lifestyle really go hand and hand, so you really can't have one without the other if you want to see satisfying results. Like, I'm going to just rid my life of sodas. Sodas make your stomach all FAT and BLOATED for no reason at all. Not only does it make your belly big, but it's bad for your BONES. Didn't think i was going to say that did you?? But really, the phosphorus in the sodas are really bad for your bones. Sodas are bad for your teeth too... They're just BAD all around. But I'm actually exercising to condition myself for track this year. I only want to get beter, and if i work out enough and regularly, than i should achieve my goals. Umm... I didn't wear make-up today, just because i knew i was going to the YMCA and I didn't want to have to take off my make-up, so no tips for that today. But my OOTD pics are coming in just a minute. I had my friend Rachel take the pics before we went into the YMCA.

That Darn Lipstick!!
So today i had school, since I'm in high school, i have to go to school everyday except the weekends. :( This morning, my dad woke me up and my throat was hurting a little bit, but i really just didn't want to go to school (i didn't finish my homework), so i told my dad that i was sick and if he could just take me to school late. He agreed so i took some medicine and went back to sleep and when i woke up, it was around 7. So i got ready and i was putting on my mascara and i guess i got some of it on my pinky and i touched my (white) shirt and and got mascara on my shirt!!! CRAPPP!!! Then i was putting on my (red) lipstick and fixed it with my finger and then i somehow touched my WHITE shirt... AGAINNN and got it on my shirt!! And it would NOT come out. So lesson learned: whenever you're planning on putting on make-up like lipstick, gloss, mascara, eyeliner, just any make-up that can easily get messy, then make sure you either put it on before you put on your clothing or put a towel over your clothes when you apply your make-up. Especially if you're planning on wearing something white and if you're going somewhere important or where multiple people will see you. You don't want to walk out wearing a make-up filled shirt... which is what i did just because that was my ideal outfit and i was rushing. But when i put on my make-up, i usually like to apply my eyeliner first and very dark only on the top eyelid though. I only like it like that if it's black and because my eyes are quite small. Since my eyes are so small, i like to do the little cat eye corners on the outside corners of my eyes. Talk about sexy. Lol!! But, after i put on my eyeliner, i apply my neutral shadow, very lightly, just to give my eyes that SHABANG!!! and then i put on my mascara to PUMP up the VOLUME!!! and then i put on my lipstick for that VAVAVA VOOM affect!! But im rambling... again. But my OOTD pictures are coming up. :)

O.O.T.D
Well, my sister bought me these wide-legged pants a while ago and haven't worn them and I decided to wear them today because i was feeling.... overly fashionable today. I love this top, but it's a tad itchy around the neck and i love this blazer. I seem to be attracted to red and blue together, so I've been doing that lately. I got all of this either from a thrift store or a yard sale, except for the shoes, which you can't really see. And my sister, Angelea seems to believe that i stole this outfit from her, simply because she wore some cobalt wide-legged pants last week. I don't care what she says. I didn't steal her look, and even if i did, my look murders hers. Haha. She's just jealous. But when i got to church everyone loved my outfit, especially my grandma. She called me the glamour girl. Haha. But everyone kept calling me a model and i wouldn't be opposed to being a model, but i really either want to be an opera singer and\or a neurosurgeon... But I'm rambling. So this is my outfit. :)
Hahaha!!! I couldn't stop laughing and i would only start laughing as soon as my sister would get ready to take the picture. But i like my goofy pics.
Ya Ready for Me????!!!
Hey you guys!! This is my new blog and I'm really excited about making my name in the blogging world. I'm basically going to be talking about fashion, make-up, hairstyles, tips to making and finishing that AMAZING look, and fashion trends, and I might throw some of my spoken word, cool kid stuff in here too. :) I don't consider myself to be plus-sized, but according to Fashion, I am, so I'm going to talk about being plus-sized and fashionable. I try to take a LOT of pictures of my outfits(OOTD), so im going to put those on here for you and most to all of my clothes that i wear were bought at thrift stores or yard sales. But I'm going to get off of here so i can put up my first picture!
