Slowly. . .

It's slowly coming together! As you all can see it's getting its own touch. There's more to add, things to hang up & this is just my room. Steff's room is coming along as well. We moved into here just saying lets take what we have & then gradually buy things that we need. That is exactly what we've been doing; IE: That futon that I had gotten when I moved into the old place is in her room with her furniture & it's still so relaxed. It made the setting in her room at such a high level. In my room I am trying to add some other items just to finish it up. Once we're done with our rooms we are going to focus on the living room, then the guest room/office & lastly the kitchen. I know the order seems weirds, but it's like buy something here, add it, get something for there, add it.

I love the fact that our apartment uses only two of the same colors but each room speaks volumes of it's own, makes you feel at ease in so many different ways. The dynamics of these rooms, sigh I love it!

I will continue to update everyone on how the apartment is looking. I know you saw it a week ago & above is what it looks like now. :) Two-thirds of the way there.

As for my "To Try" list, I am going to continue with the 5 photos a week, sending out e-mails for features. I also want to attempt to cook a new dish this week since we recently have gotten some items for our parents to help with cooking. I need to add one about the apartment, so...unpacking another 4 boxes. Lastly of my "To Try" list I am determined to make Steff's birthday in six days, AMAZING!

So much to do so much do - not to even mention new jewelry ideas that I am going to come out with & start selling in the next two-three weeks! =X

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.

xo's.

Oh My God BECKY!

It's Tuesday & I'm updating my blog!
Let's see...what should I share?! Oh wait, I know!

WE MOVED INTO A NEW APARTMENT!!!
& let me just say there's a lot of work that is going into this apartment, a lot of decorating, cleaning, organizing, but so well worth it! I couldn't be happier with finding the place, seeing it & coming here to live. This is hopefully the place where no one feels they are going to go insane. I hope this is the place where we can come home to, kick it & just relax.

It's a two master bedroom, third room which will be the office/guest room, nice living room space, kitchen that leads to the very well sized bathroom. My closet is huge, but I still question how many things I have & not having the space to fit all these things. The only issue was the people who lived here prior to us. They were absolutely filthy & we're hoping that the paint, the new furniture, the art will all place it together.

So I wanted to share what the place looks like currently. With our vision we are hoping it's going to look gorgeous. The space so I can get a nice backdrop making do some shoots, the office/guest room so I can work on my jewelry & blog. With the money we are investing, how broke we are going to be, we are hoping this will all be worth it.

Using the Photosynth app I pieced together pictures of my room in the current state. There are things in here that won't be after we're done. When we got the cable & internet yesterday we set things up & the only room where you can sit is my room.

You can see I moved a bit when I was turning in a circle to use it, but it looks so cool when you're looking from the phone. The photo is going around the room how you take pictures of it. Here you just see it in how I took it & pieced it together.

Well as you can see: the bed color, the items that we have laying around, the door between my room & Steff's, the door to go in the hallway. The curtain we purchased Sunday, we moved in Saturday. The color of the room Jazz & I chose. Steff has a nice light hot coco color. We then used those two colors throughout the entire apartment. The fresh paint & new rug gave these rooms the life we needed. & the natural light is amazinnnng!

Anywaysssss....besides my excitement lol! I hope everyone has been doing good. Trust me I've been reading up on your blogs when I get the chance.

Tomorrow I will be getting questions together for the features. :)

If you haven't been following me on Twitter you should. I couldn't contain the excitement so I shared it there & posted a few photos.

It's Tuesday Already?!

I thought a day away from blogging would go a lot slower. Yesterday I was already trying to think of what would I post for today. But today is just a start of my Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday journey. I have been considering other days to post for different reasons; one of them being a Saturday to sharing my "Try List" & which bullet(s) I accomplished. The other day would be a Wednesday to get back into doing features. A feature is a interview (video by the person, video with me asking the questions, or typed up) of a blogger, artist, photography, vlogger, designer... WHOMEVER I wish to share with everyone on my blog. Anyways....that is in the works, so be ready when I ask you to be featured.

If everyone has an iPhone they definitely know what Instagram is. It's like the Twitter app of photos for iPhone users. Apparently they have one for Android users now called "Lightbox" I believe. Either way it's a nice way to just share anything you'd like. Today I ended up sharing an outfit I wore along with just a random photo of me.

My floral Forever 21 dress was on sale at the beginning of the year. I threw on a grey sweater with my navy knitted tights. The grey combat boots I got myself for the holidays.

The curly fro has been out & about once a week. I have been trying to wear it out more often. I also don't put too much product in it, or as much as many girls that do have curly hair. I haven't used gel in more than a year & I am definitely trying to keep it that way. By the way, how can you not love that purple knitted scarf from Forever 21?!

I hope everyone's week is going good so far. There's a lot to stay tuned to....I'm also trying to fulfill at least one thing on my "Try List" so let's see when that update comes up. ;)

October 16th.

Definitely just had to make a vlog about why I don't need to do much texting anymore with the help of my new iPhone 4S. It's a great feature, especially Siri as a whole.

I know the look is really raw, but personally it is what it is, this is me on a Sunday. :)

If anyone has an iPhone & has apps that they like, please do share. I'm always interested in new apps & I like to review them. Also, those are some good apps for the rest of you to use. I'm still iffy about 2 of them, but for the most part that's what I use (not including the games I have)

Happy NFL Sunday everyone!

October 7th.

Leopard mocassins, with an oversized thermal that was tucked in & a mustard stripped blazer.

October 4th.

I took some time off for myself. My body is honestly on the verge of giving up on me & I can't deal with it. I feel depressed, stressed out & over-thinking a lot of things that I shouldn't. I need to let it all just fall in place & stop wondering. If I know I'm doing my best, how much more can I push myself? It's a matter of trying to the best of your ability, not killing yourself over it.

A nice part of today was the package I received in the mail. It put a smile on my face. I need new flats & skips. Gradually I will build up on fall/winter clothes & items. I really need some thicker material clothes, but for a good price. I need to find some more thrift stores & deals.

Leopard print hard bottom flats. Tribal design skips. Leopard print moccasins.

I hope everyone had an amazing day. By the end of the week I'm hoping some things fall together for me. Either way, I have to keep going with my day to day.

Floral Linen Flats.

Floral Thrift Blouse.



Thrift Blouse. HK Case. H&M Trousers. Minnetoka Mocs.



I know I haven't been posting as much as I should have been. I was trying to keep up with day to day, but I have been completely slacking. It was easier posting to Tumblr because of the app that I had on my phone, thank goodness for the new Blogger app that I mentioned in yesterday's post.

I've been a bit busy, also I've been sick. But I'm trying to make sure that I send everyone's earrings out that has requested as soon as I can. I had to restock on items, so hopefully this week I will finish on the huge list that I have going. I'm trying to be as productive as possible, especially adding in the work that I have to do for school.

Tonight the Pats vs the Dolphins. I'm actually pretty excited to see Brady vs. Reggie Bush. It should be interesting with the cover & new players that they have.

Anyways,

Hope everyone's Monday went well.

NFL Sunday's + iPhone Apps!

First & foremost:

To those who lost someone during 9/11/01 or because of 9/11, my love goes out to you & your family. A decade has passed & time hasn't healed all wounds.

NFL:

IT'S THAT TIME OF SEASONNNNN! I'm a big fanatic of football. I can watch all games & enjoy each one. I honestly don't have a favorite team, there are some I prefer to watch, but I do keep up with the games and the players. All the games from today were absolutely great!

iPhone Apps:

I also downloaded new apps onto my iPhone. You will see some posts from my iPhone & especially those from the new Blogger app they finally have. Hopefully it'll be easier to keep up with, just like it is with my Tumblr. I have all these different photography apps: Instagram (@Ahlexandria), some collage app, an editing app (to brighten the iPhone photos) & then this cool app called Pose. If you have an iPhone & have Instagram follow me: @Ahlexandria. Pose though are for OOTD type of posts. It's similar to Instagram, but involves outfits, stores you purchased it from, the prices & comments. I joined it because it's like a Lookbook but easier. Same name as everything else: @Ahlexandria - if you decide to download it.

Let's see how the Blogger app works out for me. I have to mess with it.

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope your weekends were all enjoyable.
