Look Who's Back

I'm such a bad blogger! It has been way too long since I last posted on here, made a YouTube video, took pictures, etc. It's kind of pathetic because I know how important blogging is to me and how beneficial it can be to my future career.
School just started last week, so I'm trying to juggle schoolwork, homework, work, and other things I'm involved in. It's hard; I've never been this busy before, and I'm always tired. My regular Internet activities (blogging, vlogging, etc.) were basically pushed aside, but something one of my friends said to me last week basically woke me up.
My friend told me that while she was in Walmart one day, she saw some random girl (random as in "we don't know her at all") watching one of my videos. My friend didn't know I make videos, so when she saw the girl in Walmart watching one of my videos, she thought "Hey, that girl in the video looks familiar!" When she realized that the girl in the video was me, she started watching my videos too.
This really made me realize that what I'm doing on the Internet is not going unnoticed. People are watching my videos, checking out my blogs, and viewing my pictures (Whether everyone is actually liking/appreciating what I have to offer, or not, the point is: I'm being noticed, and I can make something out of this.) I'm progressing, slowly but surely.
So, the point of this long blog post was to let you-all know that I'm back in full effect. Let's get to business!

Some "lost photos".
I took these pictures in June, but after I took them, I decided that my outfit was too plain & ugly, and my face was just not looking right (neither was my hair), so I never posted them. But hey...I don't feel like taking any pictures right now, so I might as well post 'em!

6.11.12 - Update

What's up everybody? I know my posts have been kind of "lacking" lately, and I apologize for that. Even though life has been really hectic lately, and I've been very busy, there were times when I'd just chill out and do nothing instead of keeping to my schedule. Yes, I do have a "fashion schedule"; it helps me keep up with my Blogger, Tumblr, YouTube, sewing, sketching, Facebook page, photos, and Polyvore. According to my schedule, I'm supposed to post on here at least three times a week (Monday: written post, Wednesday: inspiration and Song of the Week, Friday: written post), so I promise to try my hardest to keep to my schedule; it'll just make things easier for me.
OOTD (Outfit of the Day) posts usually take me a long time to do (photos and video), but now that I'm on summer vacation, I think I have enough time to regularly post OOTDs (at least one post every other week).
I want to focus on fashion this whole summer (learning its history, reading designer's biographies, practicing on my sewing and sketching, etc.) because I graduate in two years. I don't have much time left! If I want to follow my dreams of moving to New York City the same year I graduate and getting accepted into Parsons the New School for Design, I need to work hard and fast.
I recently had to drop out of sewing class for various reasons, so until I can resume my classes, I'm basically going to have to teach myself how to sew. It's going to require taking the initiative and showing self-discipline and motivation, but I know that if I work hard and stay focused, I can do it.
Well, wish me luck!
