White Sky

Currently listening to Contra, Vampire Weekend's latest album and White Sky is so catchy. There's much so much new, different music that I've been listening to on repeat. Some favorites right now are A Fine Frenzy, Camera Obscura, Journey, Bright Eyes, Passion Pit, Matt & Kim, Vampire Weekend, and Weezer (the blue & green album, exclusively.)

Along with new music, there have been a lot of other new additions in and around my life. For one, our town (as I'm sure every teenage girl around here knows and had an anxiety/heart/panic attack) recently got an amazing two-story Forever 21, decked out in chandeliers...seriously extraordinary interior design. I have been there about 7 times in the past 10 days. Secondly, this probably should have first, but I've decided to make BAMF a part of the Haiti relief fund. So we came up with a Miley Cyrus inspired beaded charm bracelet with the option of a HOPE or PEACE charm starting at $4.00. Our HOPE charms are coming in this week so pictures will be up soon. Everything is assembled by hand, packaged by hand, etc. 100% proceeds will be donated to Red Cross. When we get the amount, we'll printscreen the window and post the receipt online (very JumbaFund) so you guys know your well-spent $$$ is really being donated. (;

Thirdly, I'm turning sixteen on Thursday! I have no idea what I want, so I just asked for good old cash from the parentals. But I'm the kind of the girl who likes to dress up and be on the go, go, go so I would love to go out with my favorite ladies in heels, flamboyant earrings, the whole get-up and paint the town red. I'm still thinking...

2010 the year of no fear

2010 is finally here. I don't want to say the past months have gone fast, because with school around, I don't even think that's possible. But I will say that time is slipping through my fingers. Just in the same way I don't see when Fridays are coming (school could go on perpetuously unfortunately), the new year popped up out of nowhere. I just cannot wait til summer pops up out of nowhere. That is my favorite time of the year by far.

This Sunday, Janice and I headed out to the river canal to take some new photos. The weather got into the high 70's and I felt that summer breeze of dryness and heat, a breeze I am quite fond of. It was gr8! We tried to capture the days of summer in these photos. Don't know how well we did but I guess you can be the judge of that.

Enjoy.

No editing on the last pic. That was taken randomly after when we were eating at a Mexican fast food place. To see more & out-takes check out at flickr.com/allaphotography (Amy Lee Los Angeles ALLA Photography).

Oh and I'm also on LOOKBOOK.nu's first page!!! Hahaha. Hype 'moon river' if you ever get the chance by yours truly. I think I'm at 184 hypes? But who's counting? ;)

Dear Shoppers Anonymous, it's me, Amy.

In other BAMF news, we finally got the photo of Israel Hilton modeling our donut necklace. Ch-ch-check it out! (above, that is.)

Send me a list of what you spent for the holidays and we can cope (or not) together. I'll just be spending my days running on the elliptical, trying to burn off all this excess Christmas fat and hiding away from anything retail.

Until next time, BAMFs,

It's the greatest time of year...

Today, Janice & I are having one of our BAMF days, in which all we do is make new products, bake em, paint em, package them, take pictures of them, post them, and then maybe if we have time, have a photoshoot. If we do end up having the photoshoot, I promise pictures will be up soon. I've been so preoccupied lately that I have not been too BAMF orientated. It comes in spurts, one week I will be nonstop tweeting/messaging/posting bulletins on all my BAMF accounts, one week I won't even sign in. Thankfully, it's winter break! I was meaning to have some deals up for Christmas and whatnot, but once again, I got consumed in my personal life. I promise we will have some post-Christmas deals and new products for the New Year!

I have yet to send out Brittany Flickinger's and Farrah Abraham's products yet so no actual updates on that yet...Izzy Hilton however did recieve our items but unfortunately, there have been some misunderstandings in our communication and I feel quite regretful for wasting my time.

So Succexy!

These couple of days have been chaotic but nonetheless very, very eventful. I felt pretty sentimental and dazed this morning and did something I don't usually do - looked up my horoscope! I read my horoscopes mostly about my career and I must say, they were dead-on. They said how I'm super goal-orientated (more than usual) this past month and how I should start applying for a job that I thought was out of reach before. That refers to me getting an actual job in retail (ie. Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, etc.) which I've always wanted to do since middle school. But this year I am finally turning sixteen! Meaning I can finally get a job! Haha. Of course, I love BAMF but it is more like a hobby than an actual job. I don't profit necessarily but I feel like you have to suffer to succeed, which is probably why I appreciate my customers and my supporters so much.

Some new things coming and that have come to BAMF. We bought the domain thebamfstore.com! We're still having concerns about what we should do with the actual site so we just forwarded it to our MySpace. We updated our BigCartel layout too...cuter, pinker, and more cupcake-yer..? We also have so many great promoters out there; scene king Izzy Hilton is teaming up with Etiam Vita to do a photoshoot featuring my accessories! I've sent them the cupcake, tooth, and donut necklace. I'm excited to see how the photos come out.




Any Paris Hilton's My New BFF watchers out there? Hey, I'll even admit it, I watched the first season! Well, Brittany Flickinger (season 1 winner) will be sporting the tooth & cupcake necklace as well. Brittany is currently doing her music thing.



Lastly, any 16 & Pregnant fans out there? I love this show! It's definitely the best contraception, haha. I think what these girls do are tremendously brave and respectable. I would never be able to do what they do. MTV is coming out with the new show that is premiering December 8th, Teen Moms, with the same awesome ladies! Some of my favorites were Maci, Catelynn, and Farrah. Farrah was the one who was going out for Miss America before she got knocked up. She is currently modeling for Omaha Fashion Week and charitable fashion shows. Farrah will also be rocking a custom necklace, MILF (stay classy,) necklace!



We've also got these total bad ass new fat wristbands in two colors! Affordable, durable, and well, BAMF. Get yours today, get it for your friends (great holiday gifts), get it for your boyfriends! We're giving one of these away when we reach 250 followers on our TWITTER. If you want a free one, then tell people to follow us and RT our tweets! We follow for follow too.




I think I've already written enough so I'll save the rest for the next blog. Christmas deals, why you should buy your holiday gifts from BAMF, and other awesome stuff like that. ;) Til next time..

New Layout

It's been a while since I've updated our official blog! As you all (should) know, we're re-vamping the whole site. Since summer is gone, we really need to get rid of our "summer line." We, Janice and I, have tons of new products coming out and better headbands. Things have been just pretty hectic for me. I'm a sophomore in high school and I'm taking my first AP this year! I'm also just starting to adjust to school life (summer 09, I miss you dearly...) Here are some fun photos of a summer day we spent on the roof top. Alrighty then, we're giving the re-vamp a two months at the most.

Til then...
xoxo
