OH MY! I haven't posted in over 6 months. If there is a prize for WORST BLOGGER OF THE YEAR then I'm definitely nominated and the favorite for winning. I have soooo much to talk about, but my laptop is broken and I'm posting this from the home computer in my family's house that is almost 10 years old and very slow. Hopefully my baby will be fixed soon because I have a lot of updates to do and summer assignments to finish. UGH. I'm going into my junior year of high school by the way and everyone I know is more excited for me than I am. More on that later. And I've wanted to give a reason why I've changed my blog's name so much. I finally found a winner and its "FITTED CHARM"! I'm so happy for the name and WILL keep it from her on out. The perfect reason I came up with it will be explained later. But today I felt like blogging but I couldn't post pictures because this computer will never accept them and will take forever to download. So, fingers crossed that my baby gets fixed until then I'll be making vlogs to fill in the gaps and later on a may just do a mass post of vlogs, unedited I might add. More on that later as well.
Love & Rockets

My Sixteen Candles
Today is my birthday! I'm so excited! I finally get to blow out 16 candles. For some reason I feel a lot better about this birthday than any other previous one. Even though I'm celebrating this on the eve of exam week I don't care because it is my day to enjoy. This day begins new things for me and I'm starting a bunch of things for a happier and improved me emotionally and physically like I said in my previous post.
In the meantime I'll be watching Sixteen Candles and completing review packets before this week of tests commences.
In the meantime I'll take pictures for you all to see how my day was.

365 NEW Days for a Change
Happy New Year! I'm SO excited for this year, 2011, a year of new beginnings and changes. However, I want to give a little flashback of what happened for me in 2010
Last year as of midnight: I started this blog; finished my first year in high school; got my permit; found a way to express myself through clothes; made tons of new friends of different cliques; found a passion for the stage; lettered in Academics (yeah I'm a dork like that); won a student body election that was actually competition (Sophomore class Treasurer); went absolutely nowhere for summer break, but did summer assignments instead; started Sophomore year with a rocky academic start; went to my first homecoming; started a relationship; and dump a guy (I'm going to be honest with you I felt so guilty afterwards).
I can't believe all of these things have happened to me, but I want to honestly say I spent the year covering my true feelings up. I was a cynical and jealous 15 year old that envied people, kids at school who were better at everything than me, and other girls my age. I wanted what they had, but last night I realized that I needed to change a lot of things about myself. So I made some New Year's Resolutions; my honest Resolutions that I want to share with you.
- Try not to be so CYNICAL/SARCASTIC.
- Take better and much more needed care for my body.
- Be more friendly and open to other people.
- Appreciate the things that I have.
- Work harder on my grades.
- Learn to love the finer things in life (like turning 16).
- Save more and spend LESS.
- Sew more and learn how to style the pieces I already have.
- Pay attention to detail.
- Learn how to love myself and think of myself then being better than average.
A lot of these goals intertwine with each other. However, I really want to talk about my 2nd goal to take better care of my body. You may not know this, but I went to go see the doctor over break for a check-up and I found out that I'm 30 pounds overweight. Now I didn't believe it (my mom didn't either) because I never looked overweight since I'm 5'6. But the doctor said I was 150 lbs, a bit overweight, and advised my to eat lesser portions, watch my calorie intake, and exercise a little more than just dance. Let me make this clear: even though I'm still growing and my body is changing I'm not going to honestly depict every single thing I eat and hate myself afterwards for being so big in the first place. I'm going to think of it as a way to a better me. I'm going to watch what I eat and go on a Weight Watcher's plan that my mom and I created. It will be an at home plan and I'm committing myself to this because I know it will lead to a better, more self-confident, and kinder person. I have foods to try, plans and advise to keep me motivated, and new exercise routines to do. My goal is to get down to 125 lbs by the end of the year. I'll try to keep you guys posted about how I'm doing as I go. I won't start until Monday because I'm stalking up on foods to eat and figuring out a schedule of less surfing the web and more exercising/studying. With luck this will be the start of a better me.
On a happier note I did draw my resolutions out, but I tried to take a picture and it didn't come out well so I'm waiting until my mom gets home to take one with her camera. Until then I'm sending you lots of love for 2011. I hope this year will bring you 365 New Days for a Change!

aww Winter Break. . .
Yes, winter break has finally began for me. Usually we get a total of two weeks for break (which I really wish we had), but since it falls on a Saturday this year we only get one and a half. Joy! I've been losing a great amount of sleep lately and I finally get to catch up on some rather than my usual four hours or five if I'm lucky.
Expect a vlog post soon, very soon. And probably a blog post with pictures too since I'm going to go visit my family in Baltimore tomorrow. I get to drive up there on the highway. Eek! I get nervous when I have to drive especially on the highway (I don't really care for it). I'm always worrying that I get in a crash, or cause of crash, or even worse. However, I really need to a car to get around in this town in order to go to school, after-school activities, and so on.
Three more days until its Christmas! I'm ready for it this year. I got my family a bunch of cute things especially clothes for my mom because I felt like hooking her up with some great pieces for the winter here in Virginia. And of course at my household we are celebrating with movies. My favorite of all is Love Actually.

I'm just finishing it now with my mom. I'll probably watch it again before and after Christmas. Its a true favorite.
It is a very British movie filled with romance, comedy, and heartbreak. Its a favorite and I completely recommend watching it because their is laughter and the Beetles. I don't think any British movie would be complete without the Beetles.
Favorite character Sam because he fell in love and knew the "total and complete agony of being in love."At least once in your life time I advise that you watch this movie. Its definitely a favorite, like I've said eighty times already.
So Love & Love Actually,

P.S. cautionary note for viewers under 17 the movie is rated British R.

Look What I Found
Sorry guys, super apologies are coming your way for two reasons. 1. My mother went to go get my camera a new memory card and has placed it with the Christmas presents. Which means no vlog post yet but I am looking in the market for a webcam. Any recommendations? 2. Also, my mother's camera's battery is fried so we're trying to get here a new one and a higher lens because she has been hinting about that's what she needs.
But until then I've been in the market looking at shoes, they're my new fetish, especially wedges and heels. I saw these shoes V V Brown is wearing in the November issue of InStyle
If you can see her shoes there is this black fringe-type-fur-thing going down the heel. Its called a mowhawk heel and courtesy of Krystal of This Time Tomorrow has produced a DIY: ysl palais mohawk suede pumps
"Alright, ladies and gents. Here's the much-anticipated DIY post for those YSL palais mohawk suede pump look-a-likes I was sporting the other day, both here and here.
Hopefully I didn't build this up too much, because the process here is pretty simple (after all, I could do it!). So here's how the story goes...
For starters, you'll need the following:
- pair of black suede pumps of your choosing; I chose a pair from Forever 21, $22
- glue gun
- small strip of black faux fur (the longer the fur, the better)
- scissors
First up, you'll want two identical strips cut from your original strip. Try eyeballing it while holding it up to the back curve of the heel, to get an idea of how thick you want the strip to be. Mine were roughly an inch in width and I made sure to have it run from the very top of the shoe to the base of the heel.
Once you have your two strips, warm up the glue gun and start gluing!
To give extra oomph and the "mohawk" effect, I sprayed hairspray on the fur and sculpted it into the mohawk shape. (If you happen to be crazy like me and try this DIY at work, your coworkers will look at you funny, promise.)
Next, WEAR THOSE PUPS around! (This is when said coworkers start coveting the shoes, making the funny looks worth it.)
And that's it. See? Painless and didn't put you out $935."
I would definetly do this but since I don't have an extra pair of heels to transform or a job to pay for an extra pair of heels to transform. But I thought it was a lovely project to share with you the bold followers who would want to try this.
So Love & Mohawks

p.s. I'm going to post more on things in general and I'm going to do a vlog post.

What I'm Up To
Right now I'm currently writing a paper for the play A Raisin in the Sun and I'm continuously getting writer's block. While I'm watching 500 Days of Summer! I finally saw that movie and I'm in complete adoration of it. Have I said that I really want Summer's wardrobe. I'm thinking that I have but I don't mind saying it again!
Even though I finally did a post yesterday I spaced out and forgot what to write about what I'm thankful for. So when I was gathered around the huge feast I had with my family I came up with the greatest conclusions. I'm surrounded by loving family members, (like my wonderful parents) what could be any better? Blessed with all of the things I have now and all of the opportunities I can gain. Friends who can put up with my madness. Imperfect eyesight so I can wear cute glasses and stand out from all of the contacts people at school (not that there isn't anything wrong with contacts because I occasionally wear them). My own computer. My loving dog/baby Tyler who puts up with my insanity and is always there. Music that synchronizes with my feelings. Along with clothes that help express myself. These are all of the things I'm thankful for along with you special followers that tolerate my tardiness from the blog world. I'll try not to disappoint in the future I promise.
I just love the holidays; a chance to relax and be with family along with celebrating. Its probably one of the most relaxing and important times of the year. Too bad I'll always have work during those breaks well I'm off to finish this paper and start another one.
So Love & Thanks,
