Pellon Dress

Growing up I had a lot of free time on my hand. So I spent a lot of my time doing lots of little arts and crafts projects. I played around with paper a lot and now that I'm older I'm not able to do as much of these arts and crafts projects but its nice to infuse them into stuff I do now. So here is my version of an origami fold called the "Magic Ball" made into a dress. The dress is made from pellon fabric which can be folded like paper and holds its shape. The skirt is held together with an elastic band at the waist and strands of yarn pulling the bottom of the dress up from the inside to give it that bubble effect. The bandeau top is free formed from a bunch of random folds I made on a strip of pellon. And over all I had a great time creating this dress. It was fun free forming and seeing what Is would come up with and it was a lot of fun being flashed back to my childhood constructing this dress. Hope you enjoy it as much I do, until next time....

All Black Everythang

A girls night out always calls for an all black outfit. In this particular outfit I needed to wear something that could go for a casual-ish workday and a somewhat fancier night. Im wearing a plain black halter crop top I "borrowed" from a friend lol. A black maxi skirt from H&M with gold details on the draw strings (good for pigging out at dinner) The best features of this skirt you ask? It has POCKETS, wow! Anywayssss my awesome hat is from Forever 21, I basically dressed from the hat down because of how much I love it. And last but not least my sandals are from Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse. 

Hope you like this outfit, Because I know I loved it. Hope to be posting a lot more soon, I'm working on making a sewing series of videos soon so keep your heads up for that. But until then....

Shining Through

Statement pieces are always a simple solution to making an outfit. For months I have been on the look to find a pairs of silver shoes. And after a lot of indecision I have finally found the perfect pair, a pair of metallic silver pointed flats <3 Coincidentally they match this silver Marc by Marc duffle bag soooooo might as well throw that in the picture and pose as "casually" as possible lol. Until next time...

Finished Gem

A couple months back I posted a post about a partially done garment I was working on. So its only right that I post a picture of the final product. The dress was inspired by cut gem stones hence the piecing together of different fabrics to replicate the effects of lights shining through a jewel. I had a lot of fun putting this dress together even with the time constraint. I hope to be able to make more stuff like this in the future and you bet I'm gonna be posting it on this blog when I do. Until then...

Night with Dior and I

So recently I got to watch the documentary Dior and I. It was really inspiring to watch Dior's new artistic director, Raf Simon create a whole line from scratch in the span of only 8 weeks. It really shows that if you put your mind and effort into something, you can make the impossible possible. 

The night that I watched the documentary, I watched it with one of my closest friends, Virginia and Julian. We decided that we all wanted to make this night special and have some fun with our outfits while also looking causal. Coincidently Virginia and I both decided on a white top, jeans, and some statement heels. Its the signature casual/dressy outfit. My white top is from H&M, it has a very cool striped detail on the neck band and sleeves. Its a simple detail that can transforms a plain white t-shirt. My skinny roll up jeans are from Gap. And my favorite pieces, my killer heels are from Rainbows. With the high platforms and the thick chunky heel these shoes look deadly but are anything but. I also got a new book bag from eBay, it's a really cool unique shape and can actually hold a lot of stuff. My whole outfit was functional yet stylish. And I definitely want to find another opportunity to wear those killer heels again soon.

You can almost smell the spring in the air!!!!!

Dear Mother Nature, Let it Go.

Hey guys, Jelly here!

 Winter is making another surprising comeback and it gives us one last chance to wear our oversized winter cloths and cozy it up. Since I'm in a bit of denial with this hot and cold weather, I mixed up my outfit with a light lacy tank top from Forever21 and an oversized grey knit sweater from H&M. For pants I wore some comfy light wash denim skinny jeans, and protected my feet with a pair of gray Haggle boots by Steve Madden. Overall, I hope y'all stay warm in this brisk weather.

The building process

Hey guy's, Jelly here! If you guys don't know already I'm currently attending FIT studying fashion design. And I'm in the process of creating my term garment for the semester. The theme for this semesters term projects is sculptural designs, And I was inspires by cut gem and stones. I'm creating a very elegant and sharp gown. But I think I'm gonna keep the final look to the end when I'm finished. I thought it would be cool for people to see the process of  creating a garment. 

Evening wear and special occasions wear is something I am very passionate about. I love the idea of creating something so big and beautiful from scratch. It's the thought of all the man hours and and detailed hand work put into one dress that appeals to me so much. I'm the type of girl who loves to just sit there for hours, with music blasting in my ears, and just hand sew. It's my way to close off the world, unwind, and focus on something that I know will end up looking like something that had a lot of love and effort put into it.

All you need to know (for now)

Hey Ya'll! I'm Angelia aka Jelly, and I'll try my best not to make this sound the next eHarmony bio lol. Born and raised in New York City, I'm an aspiring fashion designer/blogger. I'm currently attending FIT studying fashion and just trying to live life to the fullest (Sound cliché but hey it works!). I created this blog to share to the world....well basically me just being me (pretty self explanatory lol). Whether it's what I like in fashion, music, make up, or just what I like to do for fun. I want this blog to be a way to express what I love in life and just be myself. Hopefully this will inspire other people to just be themselves as well and not try to conform the whats "socially acceptable" in society. In the name of being me, I'm not gonna blur out the bad or the ugly, rather embrace my flaws and make them into something to be confident and unique about. 

I have a main youtube channel which I will link at the end, which will also be a creative outlet but in video form. I also have a collab channel with my best friend Virginia, which showcases various fun challenge videos and video blogs of fun events we go to. So check those both out if you're interested. Thanks for hearing me out, and expect a lot of interesting and fun material in the future.
