made by me

Hello Ladies! As promised I am posting the two dresses I made. I love both of these dresses a lot. Specially the short one. I've had so many compliments on it so far which makes me feel really happy about my dresses.

My maxi dress: I love the colors in these dress. The red is so vibrant.



Circle brown and cream dress. It reminds me of the 70s. Which is a decade I am loving right now.




I saw Toy Story 3 finally on Friday. It was so so so good! It almost made me cry though. I love how I got the chance to grow up with toy story. It was such a great last toy story and it tied up everything wonderfully. I am definitely going to have to purchase it on DVD when it comes out. My boyfriend, my friend Michelle,and I were probably the oldest people there minus the parents. As we were leaving the movie we were attacking by loads of children. One child decided to slip his hand up the dress I was wearing and grab my butt. Another child grabbed my boyfriends hand. I also was pushed around in the bathroom by children half my size. I love children don't get me wrong but they were a crazy bunch in the movie.

man on man your my best friend, i'll scream it to the nothingness.

I've been sewing so much lately. I have made a lot of lovely pieces! I made a very cute dress that reminds me of the 70s. I also made my first maxi dress, and I am currently working on a very baby dollish dress. The dress I am working on now I am kin of obsessed with making. It screams nothing but cuteness. Pink fabric with a bow print, cream jersey, grey stripes and a peter pan collar with a floral flip side. I went all out and crazy cute with this dress. I will have pictures of my creations soon! Speaking of sewing. I am working on my fall line and all I can say is its going to be pretty darn cute. I am feeling the vibe of soft fabrics, wonderful details, and peter pan collars. I am considering opening another etsy store with my little crafting creations away from my clothing. Pin cushions, cute pillows, the works. I am sorry y'all I am just really excited!

Since I don't have an OOTD here is something I enjoyed, something i look forward too, and something that makes me smile.


1) This morning I woke up really early because I wasn't feeling well. Michael left for VA so I was in bed alone and decided to watch 500 days of Summer. I love this movie! I've seen it over ten times by now. Pathetic? Maybe. Obsessive? Possibly. In love? Yes.


2) Holy deviled eggs! I am realllly excited to see Toy Story 3. I was supposed to see it yesterday but things came up. I heard its wonderful! How ironic..a commercial for ts3 just came on the tv haha.


3) My favorite beatles song is Dear Prudence or Blackbird. Those songs always make me smile and always make my day feel so much better. :] Whats your favorite beatles song?

vacation and one years

Hello darlings! No, I am not dead..I am just on vacation till sunday. I am in virginia beach with the boy visiting his family. It is a nice break from the struggles we are going through right now.

First off I need a huge favor. I need yall to keep me in your prayers please. I am going through a rough patch right now and I'll explain why.
1) I found out that my apt complex is cutting my lease short a month. Meaning in two weeks I have to move out. I have no place to move into so I am going to bum it on my sisters couch. It sucks because apartments here are so expensive. The ones that are cheap are in bad areas. So please pray I can find a nice apartment! Also, some of you may wonder why I can't just move in with my rents. I live about 4 hours away from my parents. I moved here to be with my bf and sister. Plus, i love wilmington! :]

2) I lost my joh. My amazing job that permitted me only to have to work part time and make enough to cover rent. So on top of losing the apartment, I lost my job. So i am struggling with money. So please pray i can find any job soon.

3) Also, I was mugged a week or so ago. Still freaked out.


On a happy note..Tuesday June 15th was my one year anniversary with Michael. It was splendid! I cannot believe its been a wonderful, amazing, fun year with him. Since we are having money problems we decided not to do anything big. We got mugs from the craft store..the ones you can decorate with those markers haha. Well we decorated these reallly cute mugs for each other. Mine was the cutest/sweetest present ever. Cd's were also made for each other. To top it all off Michael made me a wonderful dinner consisting of homemade pizza and chocolate mousse. Wonderful day! ♥


[love,love, love]

moving forward and various things

I am ready to move forward with my life. I am not sure if anyone even knows what I am going to school for these days (accounting!) but I have made a big choice. I am stepping forward and going to try the world of fashion. I have decided this fall to apply to schools offering fashion. So the question is..which city do i choose?

Boston



vs

New York City



Help me decide loves! I need all the help I can get.

love love love,
jas

layers of jasmine

I've been wanting to write this post for a while but I just haven't had a chance. I got this idea from on of my favorite bloggers, Keiko .



So here we go..you all will get to know me a littler better.

1)I can never decide on my favorite color. I go through these weird color phases..like I've been on an orange kick. Although, I am now moving on to mint green and lavender. My ultimate favorite color is pink though ;].


2)I dated a guy for over two years, and was engaged to him within a year. I wasn't happy to say the least. I fell in love with another guy almost a thousand miles away. (i've know him forever) I fell hard, and had my heart broken. Go ahead and judge.

3) I am completely fascinated with Zooey Deschanel. I wish i could look like her she is simply gorgeous and i love her look! I like how she is sexy in an underrated way.


4) I have had anorexia since 7th grade. Its been an on going struggle for nine years now. Right now I am fine, and I have no problems eating. Although, the monster i call anorexia always like to kick me down.

5) I don't know how to do my makeup well! I mean I can do the basics like mascara, eye liner, powder etc. I honestly cannot do anything crazy..like smokey eyes, or even a night look. I try and I end up looking like a clown!

6)My biggest dream is to move back up North again. I would love to work in Boston for fashion or something on the lines of that. I just need to get out NC.

7) I love love love video games. I could sit down all day and play kingdom hearts

Tell me about yourselves, I'd love to get to know you all!

xo,
jasmine

forever 21

No, I promise this isn't a post about the store (although i did find wonderful things there today) I'm finally 21 as of this past thursday! I feel so weird not having updated in the past week. So weird for me! But its been a wicked busy week, and hard time getting to an internet source. Anyways,my birthday was entertaining to say the least! I had wonderful yummy drinks. I have a few faves now..georgia peach, and a dragonberry mojito. SO GOOD. fabulous birthday! :] My birthday presents from my boyfriend were awesome! He got me this purse i've been eying. I also got a manicure/pedicure. its such a cute color (lavender!). I couldn't resist the pastel color even though it didn't match my dress.

Here are a few pics from my big night..Sadly though i didn't get pics of my first dress ( the one i blogged about). I am wearing it next weekend though and then i will take pics.






Outfit details:
dress, made by me (i really liked the comfort, the low back and the sash)
heels, body shop 10.00
earrings, bijubiju boutiquw on sale for 5.00
Also since i loved my friends dresses..I am giving you the details. I picked two of them out!
Red dress, forever 21; 32.80
Grey Dress, Ross for only 11.99( i have to steal this from her!)
my girls looked wonderful that night! :]


Since I've missed last weeks tattoo segment heres one for today! Also I am thinking about getting a new tattoo tomorrow. I am thinking a peter pan quote because its one of my favorite things in life. I am going to talk about my most obvious tattoos. The ones everyone always notice first. The ones i get compliments for (wow you are so daring), dirty looks for (mostly people think i worship satan) or the remarks ("WOW! i bet that hurt!" With me replying not it didn't..) My stars! The story behind why i got these tattoos are far more entertaining then the meaning of them. I actually got these tats my first semester in college. My roomies and I were going to the other side of the state for the night. Jessica and I both had a craving to get a tattoo. It was actually our first date with the guys we came with. Our first date consisted of the boys buying us the tattoos we both got. (which were both star tattoos) It was such a memorable date and fun. Anyways pictures of the lovely set.



So how was everyones week? I've missed you all!
