Carmelita Couture

Perhaps there is a difference between window shopping in an actual store and window shopping online. I can window shop online for DAYS, and not once do I get tired. And so with that being said, I probably spent the last three hours looking at fashion sites online, and LOVING it. I found this one site carmelita couture and I want to share it with you. I may have just found my next destination for when I need wardrobe for a shoot.


My favorite style dress from here is definitely this one. The Isabella Dress.


They are all wearing carmelita couture, but I am sure you can spot out my faves.


And here is singer Kimberly Cole rocking my absolute fave dress because its PURPLE...
...which would be my favorite color.

Congrats to Carmelita Couture for their dress being on the front cover of OBVIOUS Magazine

Recap

Today.
I woke up...in pain
These wisdom teeth got the best of me.
It took me about 3 hours to get out of the bed.
Another 2 hours to actually get out of the bed.
I graduated from applesauce and vanilla shakes....
to mashed potatoes and chili
I tried to sing.
I cant open my mouth that wide yet. (Thanks stitches)
...and so I hummed.
These vicodin pills made me feel a little crazy
I took my "crazyness" out on him.
I didn't mean to.
I window shopped online
(carmelitacouture.com)
Until I decided to watch the movie "17 Again"
It was horrible and I know it
But yet...
I sort of felt a single tear well up in the corner of my eye.
That's how I know this vicodin has me all kinds of messed up.
Hope tomorrow brings a better day.
Here is to a better day.

Let's Go Back

On October 24th and 25th I was at the Javits Center for the Photography Trade Show where I was able to work with photographer David Guy Maynard
I was the test model for all the new equipment being exhibited, which was cool because I got to play with all the fun props
He sent me a couple shots and I will share them with you.

That day I was also able to work alongside another one of my good friends and fellow model
Minyoung Cheong
(check out her Black Feather picture)
I love her Asian eyes!!

I met Minyoung in January 0f 2009 at a group photoshoot in Brooklyn with photographer Shamayim. I was fascinated by her look as well as her charisma. Needless to say, we have been friends ever since. (Thank you Facebook!) She has an impeccable personality and an amazing sense of humor that has me laughing for days, and she knows how to speak spanish!

Beautiful inside and out...Watch out World!!
There is a new Korean Super Model about to take over!!

^^^^ This was the day I met her^^^^

Here are the photos from my shoot with Shamayim that same day

And my video



Alright
I am off to clean my room
Until Later.

Apple Sauce and Vanilla Shakes.

Today I got my wisdom teeth pulled!
So I have been home all day eating applesauce and vanilla shakes.
It's kind of nice to have an entire day off, but I would opt that next time I have a day off, I dont have to endure this pain.

I spent most of my day looking up ideas for a photoshoot I want to set up soon. It will be my first "couple" shoot ever. So I am very psyched about that, and its with a good friend of mine...

Okay so I tried to find a little bio on him, but I cant. So I am going to make one up.

Mr. Andre Douglas is originally from Chi-Town and now resides in New York. He is an Aquarius, has been the face of many different campaigns, and he wants a husky (as do I) He recently read the book "The Alchemist" and it is one of his favorites, and yes I will take full credit for it being so. He Has a thirst for knowledge and understanding and he exudes positive energy. He likes basketball, yoga, and turkey cheeseburgers. He doesn't like tea, because it is bad for you. He has interesting tattoos and a deep southern accent.

I believe that to be a killer bio.



We met during the summer while on the movie set "The Duel"
Coming out in 2010
Everyone keep a watch out!

It is 2:41 in the morning at the moment
Very quiet in the house as well
I have Justin Nozuka playing on my Pandora App on my blackberry.
I love him and that voice of his.
Now listening to: If I gave you my life

Going to grab some more applesauce, maybe skip the vanilla shake
Then, off to dream.
Happy Halloween everyone!!

Allow me to introduce myself...

Hello World,
I am Angelique Velez and this would be my new blog. I am an aspiring model/actress who loves to talk and share my thoughts, and I figured if I put that together with pictures of the amazing life I live (according to me), it would make for a cool blog.
To give you the basics on me, I am 19 years old...reaching 20 on November 11th (I will be in Dominican Republic for my 20th birthday and I am super excited!) I am made up of dreams, ambitions, and love. I adore white tigers and wish to one day shoot with a live one.
This is what's important.
I dream all day. I shop excessively. I talk too much. I will always have a craving for glazed donuts. If I step in front of any type of camera - I strike a pose.
Okay.
Even if I am not in front of a camera, I am still almost always striking a pose and recently it has been brought to my attention that I pose even when sleeping.
I snap pictures of everything I see and I lost my digital camera (you cant even try to imagine my pain)
Other than that. I am young, positive, and motivated. And I refuse to go anywhere but up.
I invite you on my journey.
This is me.Angelique Velez
