Oh jeez I've really abandoned my blog this time. Yikes! So incredibly sorry. Thanks to everyone who still follows me, you guys are the bees knees. And thank you to the new followers! I would explain my absence, but it would just end up sounding like more excuses. 

So summer is basically over, right now I'm in the middle of moving. I'm going back to my parents house for a nice little break, then I come back to start school, and work, once again. Life is moving so fast, and it's getting really hectic but I'll save that for another post.

Since I haven't made a wish list post ALL summer, my blog deserves one. These are a couple things I've been eyeing, and that I might finally purchase in the next upcoming weeks before class starts again.   

I really need to start planning out posts so I can keep my little place on the internet active. 

Sunday Sounds No. 1

Since I have every Sunday off I thought it would be wise to start up some kind of weekly post. And since I'm lacking a camera right now I kind of need to!

May was such a blur, and summer is going by so quickly it makes me wonder how I ever just stayed in bed all day and did nothing when I was in high school.
My brother's graduation and The 1975's show were the only 'big' events that happened, and I'm just continuing work and finishing up a couple of credits before I transfer into a University.

Things have been a bit slow. I've been thinking about what I want to do with my life lately and I'm at a little bit of a standstill. I still know what I want to do. I'm kind of just rolling with everything that comes my way right now.

Along with these posts I thought that I would incorporate a playlist of what I'm listening to right now every now and then. Have a listen and enjoy the rest of your Sunday :)

Last week I was able to see Sir Sly, Bad Suns, and The 1975 perform at the House of Blues in Orlando. Truly one of the best shows I have ever been to. We got to the venue extremely early, and I'm talking 11 in the morning early, doors weren't until 6:30 in the evening.

When 6:30 came around we were all let inside of the venue ( or should I say CRAMMED inside ) and Andria and I had a great view aside from two tall people in front of us. Sir Sly opened the show and I have never been more impressed with an opening band!! Their stage presence was so phenomenal and I really enjoyed their set. Their single Ghost was featured on Teen Wolf, but my favorite, Out of my mind, isn't even available to listen to online. You can watch them both here on Youtube. ( Not my video! )

I don't know why these girls were incredibly rude but after Sir Sly was done playing, but I have never been pushed around more at a general admission show. Pushing to the point where everyone was completely pressed up against each other, completely aggravated, and not enjoying the next band. Be nice when you go to shows, don't push, don't say rude things, and don't lie when you're asked to stop. Bad Suns was pretty good as well, I wish I was able to enjoy more of the set but what can you do. Their single Cardiac Arrest is definitely my favorite. Watch the video here.

I don't even know where to begin when talking about The 1975. If you have not seen them live you definitely should. I honestly feel like its such a privilege to watch them and hear them in the flesh. I can't even listen to their CD anymore without comparing the songs to the live versions. Their energy is just completely off the charts and I know I keep repeating myself but they just sound so DAMN good. They played quite a bit off of their CD, and they also played a lot of their earlier songs which actually surprised me. It's been a week and I'm still really upset that the shows over. It's such an experience to see them and I cannot wait until they come back to Florida.

May Wishes

I figured it's been a while since I made a wish list post. Or any posts at all! So sorry about this camera mess, I'll actually look into this week because I really do miss posting! :( 

Not much on this wish list because I'm still working on purchasing items from past wish lists, but other things keep getting in the way ( i.e concerts, school books, no time ) I don't even remember the last article of clothing I purchased. My shopping addiction needs to be fueled SOON. 

The main thing that has caught my eye recently is Crosley's new suitcase record player in this peachy color! I was actually given a record player for my birthday but it's stopped working ( it was purchased at Target, soooo…. yeah )

Other items in this list include a pair of jellies, and this denim romper from Zara. Keeping it really simple and light this summer, however I am hesitant about purchasing jellies because it gets quite hot here in Florida and foot sweat and plastic are a complete no. I've also been eyeing Mary Jane pumps from AA, but they're a bit on the pricy side.

What are you wishing for this month? 

Jamaica 2014

First of all let me apologize for being completely MIA for the past few weeks. I started working a new job, finals got the best of me, and my camera also crapped out on me! :( It's not taking my memory card at all, so I think I might have it looked at, or I might just buy a new one because I'm just so completely done.

So no camera, I had to resort to using my iPhone for my trip to Jamaica last week. Thank god for great editing apps. And my camera funking out on me might just have been a blessing in disguise, if it were working I think I would have been spending all my time trying to vlog and take pictures instead of relaxing and enjoying myself. We're planning a trip for next year so I will definitely have a working camera by then!

Part of our family visited Jamaica for one of my cousins weddings, and we're all Jamaican so the location was a perfect fit. And it was incredibly gorgeous. This is the second time I've been to the island, and my first time in Montego Bay. I absolutely adore the countryside. This trip completely kicked my last one's ass. The hotel we stayed at was by far the best we've stayed at as well.

We actually were really tight on time, and Easter is a huge holiday in Jamaica so we weren't able to venture out and visit the markets and whatnot. I so wish I was able to vlog this trip because explaining everything just isn't the same as seeing it for yourself.

There are a couple more shots on my instagram if you're interested: @imjanay
