Hey everyone!
I have a few YouTube videos to catch you-all up on, so I decided to just put them all into one big update post.
It has been a month since I got my long, small, individual/single braids done. I've never had my hair like this before, so it has really been an adjustment. I like my braids a lot though; I think it was a good thing that I stepped a little bit out of my comfort zone. I was thinking about eventually doing this style again, but I wanted to do it with burgundy hair next time (I could do all burgundy, black with burgundy highlights, or the top half black and the bottom half burgundy or vice versa). What do you think?
(For information about my braids, watch the video above. If your question is not answered in the video, visit the video's page on youtube, and read the description box. If your question is not answered in the video's description box, submit your question in the comment box located below this blog post.)
School was out from October 8, 2012 - October 12, 2012 (Fall Break!!). I did some shopping, of course. In the video above, I show and talk about the things I bought from Forever 21 last week.
I also ordered a pair of jeggings from American Eagle. I love them! They're very flattering. I've worn them twice so far, and the only problems I have with them are: they ride really low, so you must wear a belt. They are not as light of a blue as pictured, and they are a bit tight when you first get them. They aren't "super stretch", but they do stretch out a little bit in the waist as you wear them. I'm 5'7, and I got an x-long. They are a bit too long, but I just cuff/roll them up an inch or two. Overall, they're the best-fitting jeggings I own.
This is just a video of me and my little sister talking about nothing. By the way, I changed my intro because it got annoying. I might change it again soon, but I don't know yet. I look so tired in this video because...I was!
Just wondering, which video quality do you-all think is better? The quality of my "Update - Random Stuff " video (watch in 720 HD), or the quality of the other videos in this post?
Well, that's all for now! Time for me to stop talking.
Until my next post,

9.3.12 - Update
What's up everybody? It's been a while since I last wrote an update post. I think that's because my life has been pretty uneventful lately. My attitude has been pretty nonchalant. I'm just trying to get back into the habit of blogging, vlogging, sewing, etc. and I'm trying to get settled in school as soon as possible. I've gotten a new class schedule three times in the past four-five weeks, so I'm falling behind in the classes I joined recently.
When I don't like how my life is going, I usually just drown myself in activities that will prove to be beneficial in the future (more blogging, vlogging, sewing, sketching, etc.), so that's what I've been doing lately. I've also been doing a lot of online shopping (I'm just waiting for my parents to start complaining about all the packages that have been coming in). It's easier for me to shop online because there are more options and better deals. I learned, from a disappointing trip to the mall last Friday, that stores lack options for people with long legs and long arms. So, even though I like trying on clothes before I buy them, and even though I hate paying for shipping, I think I'm going to stick with online shopping when I'm looking for specific things.
Well, let me stop talking before I put you-all to sleep.
Until my next post,

Surprisingly, everything fits/looks/works really nice.

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!
