NYC bound?

So after many miscommunications, asking for days off and an almost cancellation we are off to New York tonight! We'll be looking at Wagner and Marymount tomorrow and then seeing The Nance at night which I am so super excited about. Also we just found out that Pippin is having a cast party at Bloomingdales between our Marymount tour and The Nance so we'll be attending thank you very much. On Friday we're seeing Pace and then Hofstra on our way back home and I'll be returning to my dad's which will be filled to the brim with Dixons for our family weekend which always begins on Friday with a Chinese food shmorgishborg. 

I'm reading The Glass Castle for school and I'm avoiding getting car sick but pretending I don't get it. Seems to be working but the natural light is waning. 

Anyways wish us luck!

Nail color: Essie's Bikini So Teenie but I wish I was wearing Play Date because it goes better with earrings and a scarf I brought. 

Jo-Ann Haul: August 2nd

Just like I promised here is my Jo-Ann haul from today. I was promised that I was going yesterday with my mom, but we ended up being at the mall too late and she wanted to skip the fabric. Turns out the dress forms were only $99 yesterday. Just my luck. I've been looking to buy a dress form since I borrowed one from Stoneham Theatre when I was making my prom dress, but they're so expensive for a high school kid whose parents think this sewing thing is pretty much still a phase.
Also the super cool girl that works at my Jo-Ann was there and she's so cool agh.

Anyways, my haul:
Fabric:

A: A remnant with a really cool coral pattern of soft tealy blue and white- $2.50 for .5 yards

B: Remnant of blue and teal ombre chevron- $0.84 for .278 yards

C: Remnant of a ice blue and silver brocade- $10 for .667 yards

D: Remnant of red bircham floral (if you search bircham fabric on google it's literally the first image result)- $1.75 for .583 yards

E: 3.25 yards of Moroccan-y, African-y, Middle Eastern-y fabric. I got 2.625 yards for $23.63 and the remnant of .625 for $2.82

I also picked up Fray Check, 4 yards of 36" muslin, .875 yards of interfacing, a black zipper and of course my mother needed chocolate.

The cool Moroccan-y fabric is for a dress I'm making for myself for my cousin's wedding from this pattern (option C). I was looking for a floral but I thought this one was much more exciting. I'm not sure what the dress code is for the wedding but I'm just guessing its fairly nice.

Also I decided to make the leap and join the BMV Club from The McCall Pattern Company and I have already ordered patterns for blouses with bow ties, this fantastic vintage-y dress that I'm in love with, and THIS CAPE that Erica and Heather totally inspired me to purchase. I'm hoping to make one in an oxblood color with a black satin lining in Heather's style. 

I'm going to start cutting up the cool fabric for my dress while watching netflix upon netflix.
Wish me luck

Nail color:
Same Newlyweds but my sister smashed a bottle of Essie's No Place Like Chrome the other day so half of my nails are covered in that.

Oh, hey.

Let's not talk about how it's been almost three years since I've written something on this website.
Let's not talk about my trials and tribulations over the last three years.
Let's not talk about the same shit stuff as three years ago.

Let's talk about now.
Take you through the college process and whatnot, because yes, ladies and gentlemen I will be starting my senior year of high school in about 27 days. Hollah.
 Also I need something to keep me motivated through my (far too) many sewing projects I must complete before college season comes in full swing because I am a hopeful costume technology major. Hella stella.

I was planning on a YouTube channel, but fuck. Who has the time or the not being awkward in front of a camera skills for that? Because this girl does not.

Anyways I'm currently procrastinating my summer reading and making my dress for my cousins wedding at the end of September, but I have buttloads of time for that. Tomorrow I am heading to Joann's and will most likely make a haul post because I have a coupon and money from my summer job.
Whenever I feel like I'm wasting money I remind myself: This shit is going to get me into college. And I should  probably sell things to people at school because lol broke-ass high school kid.

Things I've fallen in love with recently:
>>Sewing/ DIY/ Pattern Review Bloggers
>>Oxblood (Even though apparently it's 'out' this year? fuq dat yo)
>>Looking forward to fall
>>Telling myself I'm going to go to football games if only to oogle at a boy

 Nail Color: H&M: Newlyweds

(It's more buttery than the picture. It's gorge, I wore it to prom. It would look great on a tan, if only I had one.)

NaNoWriMo

So today is the 3rd day for NaNoWriMo and I only have 700 words and I should be at 4,000. I quit doing homework because all of my homework was optional tonight.

Grawwrgg. I've already planned that my story for next year will be about my life plans.

Exciting.

Pokemon vs. Digimon

This one's for Megan.

When I was little I really likes Pokemon, but mostly just to look at them. I did have three card boxes filled with them, but I never really understood how to play/ battle/ whatever.

I left that to the TV show/ movies...

Which were awesome...

And I might have watched Spell of the Unown this morning.

When I found out I was changing schools in 4th grade i decided that Pokemon wasn't cool, and if it wasn't cool, I didn't like it; I gave them all to my friend Eric, but he can't find them.

(can't find = hasn't looked)

Since then I have faced the fact that Pokemon will always be cool. Because they're freaking adorable. And... bad-ass I guess... (Togepi was my favorite useless one... and Bulbasaur was my other favorite)

Also I used to watch Digimon in the really early morning on ABC Family in like 2nd grade, because they were cute... in a really scary way. (The orange bat was my favorite)

But then they were frightening.

And Sailor Moon was awesome. And Totally Spies. And Dexter's Lab. And Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

Yeah.

Small Venues and Boston/Cambridge

So on the 8th I went to a Remus Lupins/ Skyway Flyer/ Mike Lombardo/ Tonks and the Aurors concert at the Lily Pad in Cambridge. Now, I have never seen the Lily Pad before and let me tell you, IT'S FREAKING AWESOME. Of course I'm one of those unknown bands in small places kind of girl. It's just... ahhh.

Now to the show: EVERYTHING I HOPED FOR AND MORE.

I was running late to the show and came in in the middle of "That Will Be the Day" by Mike and even my mom said it sounded amazing. It was... shivers. I'm sad I only got "Hey Molly" on camera.

I gave him this and he hugged me. ^_^ I was sort of those awkward hugs where the person reciving only does one arm because they don't feel worthy of two, but then the person initiating the hug goes in for two and then you can't move your arm. But still. It's Mike Lombardo.

Next was Skyway Flyer.

It was really exciting... but i really don't want to write this blog anymore...

Sorry Alex, Jason, and Stephanie

First Blog Post

So this is my new blog.

It took me three days to come up with a name- and it wasn't even completely mine. My friend Brandon came up with Hailey's Daily, I decided on the [not so] part. I don't want to write a post I've been planning today because... I'm tired and I will need full concentration to write it all down.

My goal for this it to be posting at least once a week because I like to share the weird happenings in my life (like anythings that comes out of my mother's mouth) with people who will listen.

Like how my OLDER SISTER and one of her friends are lying on my legs fighting and biting over a cell phone.

Or creative things I do that's really random.

So that's what will be happening around here.

Mother's crazy quote of the day: HAILEY! You can not run away with him (Mike Lombardo)!

Odd thing of the day: the ABC Family movie: Revenge of the Bridesmaids.

(I like these little things at the end, so I might add them/ change them)
