Oh-em-gee! Hey guys.!

I really suck at posting. I've been so busy with studying, homework, review packets, preparing for finals, JROTC, and training for camp. I've had so much to do! It's crazy. But I am trying to stay updated. Also i've been trying to stay updated with my fashion blog for my journalism class. that project is due next week and I'm behind on posts. smh. *sigh* But if you'd like, feel free to check out my fashion blog. Here's the website or look in my side bar under links. :)

I haven't really been able to take pictures so here is what I wore to school today. MY UNIFORM! lol. I'll explain some of the pieces on it. Believe it or not but a lot of fashion trends come this exact uniform. The military look has a huge influence in the fashion world.

 This is the class A uniform which means I have to wear the military green jacket. Excuse my hair. Usually I wear it in a bun but today I didn't feel like it. It still fit the standards though.

 Here's an up close and personal shot. lol. In a class A you have to wear a necktab, which is what girls wear and guys wear ties.

 I have my name plate, the honor unit with distinction star and the academic wreath. I'm in the top 10% of my class. :) The arches are self explainatory.

 I have 16 ribbons and a medal. i recieved the medal for scholastic excellence form the ARMY at my military ball. My mom was so proud of me. I'm so proud of myself. I work hard.!

 These are two of my cords. I have three. The red one is the regulation drill team cord, the blue one is our drill team corn and the blue and grey one is for summer camp.

Me with the garrison cap. I also have a berret. I took a picture of my rank but it didn't upload...I'm a MASTER SERGEANT. :) I do everything possible to be the best and I love ROTC. Hopefully I'll be battalion commander my senior year. right now I'm just the drill team commander.

I hope you guys enjoyed!

OOTD: Blue Skies & Grey Clouds

Hi!!

So I know that I have not been on here since mid April! SHAME ON ME!

So I thought that the best way to come back is with an OOTD!

I'm definantly going to be posting more so don't worry. I can not continue to be a slacker. That's not good!

So....I'm wearing:

Shirt: H&M

Jeans: Macy's

Shoes: Target

Bag: Gift

Jewlery: Vintage

It wasn't as warm as it has been for the last couple of weeks which really sucks because I wanted to wear a skirt today. Oh well! That can wait until another day.

So a lot is new with me but I'll save that for a Show && Tell. I'll probally post one tomorrow. And hopefully I'll have a post of my nails. They're really simple but yet dramatic. I think you guys will like it, if not, well you don't have to wear it!

I'll write soon.!

Hello everyone! :) So it's spring time and as you can see above^-^ I've been wearing my curly hair a lot more often now. The winter and fall time I wear my hair straight most of the time but since it's warmer in the spring and summer I wear it curly. (My straight hair just ends up curling.)

Saturday day night I went out with my boyfriend of 6 months and look!! ^-^ He ordered this customized cake for me! It says: "10/14/10 Happy Anniversary Jalesa 4/14/10" I could not stop smiling the whole time. I had no idea he was getting me a cake. Oh! and fyi: my favorite animal is a panda, my favorite color is blue and my favorite flavored cake is oreo! :) It had all of that! I swear he's the sweetest boyfriend ever. We went to outback for dinner and spent the whole day together. OMG! I have never been to outback and now I'm officially in love with it. It's so good!

I wore this to school today. Sorry about my dreadful hair. I put it up on the bus because the windows were down and it was blowing my hair. Oh! and my legs are not that pale. lol. I had on nude stockings. But yeah I made the skirt that I'm wearing. It was originally a long sleeved dress but it was so tight and very ugly. So why not a skirt.? I love it! :) Usually when I can't fit my jeans anymore I cut them into shorts. Smart and efficient.



So this week is stressful. It's the last week before spring break. I can't wait! I really need this time off. My teachers are drowning us with work and tests before the spring holiday and I'm going crazy over here. The last 2 hours I've been working on math homework alone, not including ROTC and English. #shaking my head. 37 days left of school. Oh how I wish school was over next week.

Random Thoughts001

Ok so I've been sitting here; thinking. I always dread the thoughts of  "should I continue on posting for my blog?". I mean I have 3 followers (which I'm highly thankful for) and yes, sometimes people comment on my posts but does anyone actually care?

Yes, someone does care; me. Even if no one ever looked at my blog, I shouldn't care, and I won't. I made this blog for me, to express my thoughts, feelings, and passion for the fashion industry. If no one else cares, at least I know that I do.

I've always loved writing, and I made the decision to put my writing on the internet for the world to see. They can look, they can like, or they can care less, but I'm satisfied.

When I look and see the followers or the comments I do have, I smile, and they're just more logs to help fuel my fire of motivation and to continue writing.

schoee.blogspot.com helped me to realize this. I was reading through her posts and came across the one about "how did she get so many followers". And what she said made sense. I could go out and advertise my blog so people "HAVE" to look at it or I could sit back and continue to do what I love and let others find what means the most to me. And that would be so much more rewarding.

So that just so happened to inspire me && I'm going to continue on and not worry about who's reading or looking but knowing and feeling that I've accomplished something. The world has billions of people! And I know that someone out there is reading this, even if it is just....me.

What's in my bag.?

I have...

My wallet:

It has my id, money, lots of change lol, probally notes are in there, my metro card and some other stuff.

Novel:

The autobigrapghy of Miss Jane Pittman, I'm reading it for my english class. It's really good to read.

Ipod:

I love music! I have to have my music with me all the time. Especially when I travel because I can block out unwanted noises and distractions.

Keys:

It only has my house key on it because I gave my other king ring to my sister. I have a license but no car - no car key. (So not good!)

Lotion and Perfume:

I want to spell good all the time && not be ashy. lol. The lotion is from Victoria's Secret "Pink" and the perfume is by Paris Hilton "Siren".

Writing essentials:

I keep 2 pens and sticky notes all the time; just in case.

Eyewear:

I can't forget the sunglasses for the beautiful spring days that are coming && of course my regular glasses that I need to drive and see things far away.

Lips && Sanitation:

I keep two things of chapstick and sometimes I carry a mini vaseline jar. I also keep germex because things aren't that clean in the real world.

Phone:

I have that in my hand write now. I'm kind of a texting addict. I can't help it. lol.

So those are the basics. I usually have other random stuff in there too. I try to keep my purse very organized and tidy but yeah...that doesn't always work out.

Buenos Tardes everyone! :) So I've kinda lost my inspiration recently and I haven't really had any clue on what to write about. So I'm just going to do a show && tell. Above I'm wearing:

• Yellow && black plaind shirt - Walmart
• Black ruffled shirt underneath - Ross
• Cuffed skinny jeans (ripped) - Macy's
• Watch - Charming Charlie's
• Gold chain && gold bracelet - vintage

I wore that outfit last week. I wanted to be very comfortable && cute at the same time, which I was. :)
I wore my Columbia black fleece jacket most of the day though because it's so cold in my school.

So here's what's been going on with me:

• Report cards come out Thursday of this week. I've been studying so hard so that I can get straight A's but I think I'm going to have two B's on there. [That sucks]
• This week is spirit week at my school! Monday is "Neon day". Tuesday is "sports day". Wednesday is "wacky wedesday". Thursday is 'duo day' and Friday is "spirit day". So I'm going to show ya'll what I wore all week. That should be fun.
• My nails are red.
• I'm currently washing clothes for school this week.
• I'm read this book called "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" for my English class. It's really good.
• It's going to be really warm this week so that means lots of cute outfits! :D

So I'm done showing && telling.
Anything exciting come up for ya'll?

Oh! My boyfriend && I will be celebrating our 6 months anniversary on Thursaday! :)

Well I'm done.

Cute && Comfy!

Who said you can't be cute in sweatpants and never wear them to school if you're addicted to fashion?? Well this gilr here (Me!) says that you can. I think that anyone can look good in sweatpants without making them look tacky or that you slept in your pajamas.

Today was rainy and I've been so tired so I wore sweatpants!

I dressed them up with a cute hair scarf, my grey cardigan and a really cute blue ring.

I even got a few compliments today. :)

Ok, so I'm going to try and get in shape....again. haha. Below is the video explaining all details. Any suggestions please feel free to comment.

LRN 001: Loving Right Now

So below are just a few things that I'm like in love with right now. :) Just thought I'd share them. Enjoy!

 My friend at school let me borrow this nail polish from her. Like I was getting so bored with the colors that I have && I needed something new. It's "Lemon-Lime Twist" It's the 'Nicole' edition by O.P.I. It's so pretty! I had to apply about 2 to 3 coats. It's very shiny and has glitter in it. I love!

 This is a vintage headband that I've been wearing a lot lately. I got it from my grandma. I'm always raiding her old clothes and stuff. I wear it going across my forehead.

 This is another light-blue lace headband with a big bow. I also wear this one across my forehead.

 Last week I wore them both at the same time. It looked very nice.

 Ed Hardy perfume. I love it.! It's also the shimmering body lotion. If you don't like glitter lotion I wouldn't recommend it. Um...it has a very sweet smell to it. && it lasts all day.

 These boots were a gift to my sister. They're black ankle boots from NINEWEST. They are so cute and comfortable. Unfortunately they are a size 9. So I have to wear socks with them to make them fit. They're not brand new but are in good condition.
