OOna PalOOza! - Simplicity 1370

It's Oonapalooza!!

Here I go skimming the deadlines again lol

Once I saw that #sewcialists were dedicating the month of July to Oona Balloona I knew I HAD to get on the action. 

I got hip to Oona's blog not too long before she participated in Project Sewn and the competition sealed the deal on my love for her and her creativity!

This skort is inspired by HER!

This is Simplicity 1370.

It is very similar to the Zara skort that all the fashion bloggers have been rocking.

Birthday Recap! - DR 2014

Sooo my birthday was almost 3 weeks ago and I spent it in the Dominican Republic with 4 of my cousins and one of my best friends!

I turned 24 :-)

None of us had ever been to the Dominican Republic so it was a new experience for all of us.

We stayed at Majestic Colonial, an all-inclusive resort.

It was so much fun! I love interacting with people at all-inclusives!

As soon as they know you speak the language they immediately treat you like your their best friend lol!

Before I do this photo/video dump, I just want to thank everyone that wished me "Happy Birthday", bought me a gift, a card or helped celebrate!

I love y'all man! *sheds single tear*

Okay, on to the trip!

My Birthday Wishlist

My birthday is in 10 days so I just wanted to put my desires into the atmosphere lol

After reading so many blogs and resources and learning more and more about sewing, there are some tools and resources that I believe would be great investments into my sewing!

And I'm putting it out there just in case some of you haven't seen these things and find that they may be beneficial :-)

This is my birthday wishlist!

3 Years Post Relaxer! & Future Hair Goals

I almost always miss my anniversary.

My natural hair anniversary!

Today marks 3 years since I've had a relaxer in my hair.

(which also means my birthday is in exactly 2 weeks... but that's neither here nor there lol)

Having natural hair brings SO many emotions.

Happy, frustrated, tired, free, beautiful, annoyed, and the list goes on lol

One of the main reasons I wanted to go natural was because I saw so many women whose hair grew to lengths I'd never seen before on the majority of colored women.

And here I am today having reached another milestone!

I have finally reached bra-strap-length (BSL) hair :-D

I know last year at this time I was only a few inches away but then I got a haircut with a salon I won't name lol and I thought that I wouldn't make it by my 3 yr ann. but I did!

Leaping Leopard! - Vogue 1395

It's finally summer! My FAVORITE season of the year!!

Endless cookouts, warm mornings AND evenings, and MY BIRTHDAY!

I have this theory that I draw my energy from the sun so summer makes me super happy :-D

The one thing I don't like about summer is that it rains so randomly.

Hence why I am wearing boots in 80 degree weather lol

This is Vogue 1395

I cut a 12 in the bodice and a 10 in the skirt.

I cut a 12 at the top of the overlay and graded down to a 10 near the bottom.
