DIY| Uniform Pocketed High Waist Shorts

Another DIY for you guys.
These Shorts were very easy to make, especially the fact I used a hot glue gun, rather than taking the time to sew it on. I think just about any one can do this one, trying different patterns of the sort.. Enjoy !

Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree,

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Hope you are spending it with loved ones and got everything your heat desired!
Though I do not truly celebrate Christmas due to my religion as a Seventh Day Adventist, I did have a good day that day. Though I didn't wake up to Christmas presents under the tree, or a big family dinner, I had a good time over the winter break.
Majority of it was spent editing a video for my church, which took so many days to complete. But all in all, I finished it, along with the help of my sister, Marsha.
Watch it here :)

Besides that, I spent Christmas break going to see the big tree on 5th Avenue (New York City) and shopping around at thrift stores and my sister's job, Juicy Couture.I spent Christmas day ordering items online, watching old Christmas movies (e.g. The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol, A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Twas the night before Christmas, Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, Its A Very Muppet Christmas, Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer, Jack Frost, Frosty the Snowman, and White Christmas).
Each of the movies, had me in a Christmas mood. Honestly, I really want to have a Christmas... I want to experience how it feels to pick up a tree, decorate it, wrap presents and place in underneath... To have family and friends come over for great dinners. Since I didn't get to have that basically my whole life, I will provide the greatest Christmas every year for my future self, along with my future family. But that's over 15 years away. Dream Big or Go Home I suppose!
Once again, I hope you guys had a great Christmas this year, Expect a greater consistency in outfit posting next year! :)

DIY| Velvet High Waist Shorts

Merry Christmas Readers!
After opening gifts and ordering items online, I saw a girl wearing and rocking a pair of high waist velvet shorts. I really wanted them... Couldn't find them anywhere. I convinced myself, i could make them,
I never actually worked on sewing projects. I would cut here and there and hem here and there on a old fashioned dress then call it my own. But I really wanted to challenge myself and make a pair of shorts.
I set out to it. It turned out, I must say, successfully.

Recently, I thrifted a overalled long maxi velvet dress. I was meaning to cut the bottom off for a while to make the dress more short and stylish for me. So, I snipped off 11 1/2 inches off the bottom.

I ended up having this long peice of cloth. I folded the top about 1 1/2 inch and cut the width of the fabric 33 inches to fit my hips.

The fold over of the fabric allowed me to hem the shorts, by sewing at the edge of the folded fabric.

I cut 24 inch elastic and shoved it through the hemmed part of the short.

I connected the two elastic ends by sewing them together, a little tighter than 24 inches cause elastic is very stretchy.

I sewed the rest of the shorts inward, Separating the two pant legs where the fabric did not overlap.

WALA.

High waisted shorts.

The Time ..

Its been a while since I posted or even took simply pictures of myself. I have been extremely busy in the midst of school activities mainly. I was planning on posting outfits, but my sickness and the bad weather didn't allow me to do so. I would say that, that week was my personal week away from blogging. I just needed to breathe and explore other areas of my life. I've since realized that blogging as well as socializing is a part of my life, and I will always enjoy it, but more importantly is the need to balance it all with everything else. I'm working on it... The only solution might be late night blogging. Trust me, it will be all better once my camera is here and the New Year comes.

We're halfway through December and time is quickly approaching. Here's the fill in;

Cheerleading is going very well, the steps are easy to get. My problem is the whole practice on Saturday thing. I probably wont ever be able to make it, due to my religion, but how much will I miss?
I made an ask.fm - Feel free to ask questions to me! http://ask.fm/imannieee
My school's Cardozo Night Live show was a great success. Incredibly hilarious!
I recently went to a sweet sixteen that I surprisingly didn't take any pictures at. It was a cheap and cozy one. Everyone felt at home and the dancing was great. :) - I wore a black sweetheart lace top with high waist black velvet leggings, white frilly socks and spike Jeffery Campbells.

ANNIE'S RULES FOR A GOING TO A PARTY

> No mini skirts, mini dresses (if you're gonna dance with guys, it will ride up and you will either look bad or be forced to keep pulling your dress down)

>Don't go towards long ballgown dresses

>Yes to shorts (I prefer highwaisted) or leggings

>Bring flats and loose pants

>Always keep lip medication on you

The dated, detailed doings of
Annie.

I am a creator. An artist. A realist. An optimist. A student. A daughter. An imaginer. A lover. I simply am. Biggest dream? To attend FIDM, major in design, work and study fashion as well as interior design in New York and California and make something of my life despite of where I came from. But for now, here is where I share little bits of my life, my interests, and my mission to accomplish my dreams. This blog are moments captured in time. Laughing, crying, walking, talking. Turning "ing" to "ed". Moments seized in time. Moments to look back on. To remember. Caught within the palm of my hands, held in my camera.

"She does mostly street-wear brands, but I feel her beauty is much more than that. "

"I am a senti(mental) - instru(mental). I am so to the point that. I find pleasure in mixing music with company. My desire is to soak you in song. I take bits of you, and sow it within the confines of something as multitudinous, as a song. The scent of you will stick to me; like that of alcohol, to skin. Or, cigarettes, to fingertips. Or, paint fumes to a renovated room. I want the weight of having thought of you too deeply. "

"If you don’t think you are very smart or funny or good looking or whatever then maybe just try to focus on the things that are great about you… like maybe you are good at remembering birthdays or important days, or you are gentle and kind with animals, or you are good at being patient with children or you have mastered the art of roasting marshmallows to perfection…. you don’t have to be Einstein or a top model to celebrate yourself"

"If the boy who draws

let’s you look over his shoulder. If the poet smiles and shows you her words. If the girl who sings for the shower only, hums a song in front of you. Know that you’re no longer a person but the air and dust that fills their lungs. When the world perishes, and all things cease to exist, you’ll remain inside an ink stain, a paint brush, a song."

"I didn't have the confidence I have now during my teenage years. I had all of these wild ideas that I spent a lot of time trying to convey and convince myself of. But over time you evolve and become really, really comfortable with who you are."

"I was homophobic. So God gave me three gay kids and told me to grow the hell up."

"Airports see more sincere kisses than wedding halls. The walls of hospitals have heard more prayers than the walls of churches."

Wabi-sabi (侘寂?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō?), the other two being suffering (苦 ku?) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū?).

"I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting."

"I really do believe that art changes the landscape of the world."

“I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.”
"هذا يجب تمرير للغاية."
"Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul. "
"I prefer inspirational poems that teach you to live a better life over love poems. I have never liked poems or quotes that were based upon one pouting over the other person that deprived of they’re love or someone pouring out ones love for the other person. -life’s too short for that."
"I opened my rib cage and you didn’t catch a single butterfly that flew out."
" فإنه يحصل على نحو أفضل"
"i crave passion and intensity"
" Have you ever felt a potential love for someone? Like, you don’t actually love them and you know you don’t, but you know you could. You realize that you could easily fall in love with them. It’s almost like the bud of a flower, ready to blossom but it’s just not quite there yet. And you like them a lot, you really do. You think about them often, but you don’t love them. You could, though. You know you could. "
"He's got a soul as sweet as blood red jamAnd he shows me, he knows meEvery inch of my tar black soul"
"I am learning every day to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be to inspire me and not terrify me."
"The best kiss is the one that has been exchanged a thousand times between the eyes before it reaches the lips." "It’s okay to lose yourself for a little while. In books, in music, in art. Let yourself get lost."
"You deserve flowers on your doorstep and coffee in the morning. You deserve notes left on your dashboard and ice cream sundaes at 3 am. You deserve honesty every day and to be kissed every hour. You deserve to be reminded how beautiful you are"
"When I say be creative, I don’t mean that you should all go and become great painters and great poets. I simply mean let your life be a painting, let your life be a poem."
"Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?"
"The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart; and being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap. I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel less. So don’t buy it."
"You can’t find true happiness if you live your life trying to please other people."
"Success is the best revenge"
"You're looking at yourself in the mirror and you don't realize what you look like because you're just a baby so you smile and wave at the baby smiling and waving back at you. You glance away for a second, look back but then you are already eight, staring at your ripped jeans and scraped knees but it's worth it because you because you proved to the boys you're not a sissy after you threw out your bubble gum lip gloss, pink bows, and told them you hated pink. And then you're fourteen and you're in the mirror putting on eyeliner because suddenly you are into makeup and the boys like those girls now, and you're saying, you're shouting "YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING MOM!" But she really did because now you're looking in the mirror on your wedding day but you're only half smiling because you wonder if you might not have had to go through with this if it wasn't for the kicking in your stomach. Before you know it, you're looking in the mirror again but you're wrinkled and tired-looking and the world is no longer at your feet yet you have nothing to show for yourself besides a daughter and next time you look you're looking in the mirror and you don't even know what you look like, you can't even recognize yourself so you look away.Yet you still know you can't avoid mirrors in a society as vain as ours."
"As you think, you travel, and as you love, you attract. You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."
"what do you mean you can't hang out i showered for this i shaved for this i put a bra on for you. i got off tumblr for you i am wearing real pants I went outside i got out of bed i woke up"
