:)

The past week has been the best week.

Well, basically, as if Warped Tour wasn't amazing enough. I saw The Cab and A Rocket To The Moon last night. And it was a really good show. Except for the fact that me and Aly Avina didn't bring all the JJ necklaces... I left them in my other bag at her house. So, we only had the ones we were wearing: the CA state one and the purple, blue and pearl swirly one with a heart and a bow... Great. So, after the show, we were looking for Nick Santino because well, we wanted to meet him and we also wanted him to get a picture with a JJ necklace. But we thought he went back in his van and we were like alright whatever, let's go find Alex DeLeon (of the Cab.) So, we went back inside the venue to look for him, and then I saw Nick and I was like ALY WAIT! Because she like completely walked past him. So, we waited for a bunch of girls to stop taking pictures with him, then we were like "Hey what state are you from!?" And he was like "Massachusetts" And we were like "Well do you wanna wear this California state necklace that I made because I have my own jewelry company and everything and it'd be great for some promotion!" And he was like "Yeah definitely!" So we took the picture and he was like "You probably want this back right?" And I was like "Oh no! You can keep it if you wear it all the time!" So he kept it. Then I asked him how much his cd was but I left my money in the car, so I was like tay here and I promise I'll buy it."


So, me and Aly ran back to the car to get the money, and went right back. And had another conversation with him. And I basically like further explained my jewelry business. And he was like "Oh that's really cool! You should really give them away to bands, we all wear necklaces!" Then he went on and grabbed the necklace I'm wearing in the picture above and was like "Did you make this too?" And I was like "Yeah but it's kinda girly and feminine" And he goes "No but it's still really cool that you do that! You should myspace message me or twitter me and I can hook you up" He was really nice and down to earth. Then we were looking for Alex DeLeon to take a picture with the girly necklace we had left. We found him and he was like "I'll hold it and support it, it's too girly for me! But I wish you all the best of luck!" Hahahah so here's his picture:

All in all, I had a really awesome night with Aly 2 :) In other news, I have plenty of vlogs I need to put up on youtube, and I need to send out a lot of orders! I'm focusing on that all weekend because I've been procrastinating quite a lot. You all should follow me on Twitter for exclusive sales: www.twitter.com/alysilverio

I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT OF TOWN LATELY.

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LONGEST BLOG YET. I'm pretty sure I'm done with vacationing for the rest of the summer. I recently just went to Hawaii from the 10th-20th, well I got back late on the 21st. But it was a really fun trip. I ate 36 strawberry poptarts, not like packages, I ate 18 packages, equaling out to be 36 pastries. I'm almost certain I'm going to get diabetes just from that. It was over a course of 10 days! So, I'm cutting down on poptarts, not really. All in all, Hawaii was amazing and my dad's wedding was lots of fun too. Though, I only went to the beach like 3 times :( Whatever. Here's a picture of Uncle Jay, Auntie Apryll (really my cousins, I was lied to), me, Matt, Ate Jeanne and daddy!

So, I got home on the 21st. And I would have started working on jewelry again, but I literally had less than a day back home before I left for Charlotte for Warped Tour! So, right when I came home Tuesday night, Mary came over and we made flyers for JJ to pass out at Warped Tour. The next day we went shopping then I slept over at her house because Thursday was Warped Tour. We went to bed at like 2 or 3 and woke up at 6:47... We were supposed to wake up at 5:30 and leave to get Courtney at 7:15. Ha, we ended up leaving at like 9:15. So, we got to the venue and met up with some friends. As soon as we got the band lineup and schedule, we saw Hit The Lights first! But we only saw like half their set. We were all super excited for LIGHTS, and one of my best friends, Aly Avina's, mom just got us press/photo passes, so we can go in the photo pit to take pictures of bands! It was so awesome (Thanks again Mrs. A :D) 

A lot of my favorite bands and meet and greets were overlapping and I had no idea what I wanted to do :/ I was pissed because The Maine and Forever The Sickest Kids were on at the same exact time. It was irritating, they were my two favorite bands. AND to top it all off, LIGHTS was doing her signing at the same time too. And I wanted to give her the piano necklace from JJ, cause you know, she plays the piano and keytar. I ended up giving the piano necklace for my friend Vasko to wear and show her. And she complimented Vasko's necklace before Vasko even got around to saying anything about it. Vasko was telling her that I made it and how I didn't get to her meet and greet because I went to see FTSK because they're like my favorite band blahblahblah. He tells her she could have the necklace and she was all "No! You are way too cute to not wear it" So she signed it and wrote me a letter below.

So, I meet up with Vasko near the LIGHTS tent, and he was like "I have something for you..." and it was the necklace, and I got sad that she gave it back and didn't want it. And Vasko was like "Look at the back" and he gave me the letter, and I was like AWWWWW. So, me and Mary went to her tent to thank her. While waiting on a hill to meet her, me and Mary were texting and keeping in touch with the people we were at Warped with so everyone could easily find each other. This guy comes up to us... "Sup texters!" And I was like Ugh some guy trying to sell CDs again. It ended up being Evan from Hotspur! I used to listen to them a lot last year. We listened to his CD and told us it was $5, and I was like why not, it's only $5. Then me and Mary turned the tables and were like "LET US ADVERTISE TO YOU NOW!" So we showed him my necklaces and he loved them all, and we gave him a flyer. We traded a CD for a mini bot necklace. He was so nice too! Below is a picture of me and him rockin some JJ.

This was all before I met LIGHTS. So, we finally get to her tent and I was like "My friend Vasko gave you this and I made it and everything.." and before I could finish she was like "THAT WAS YOUU?! AWWW! *Gives me hug*" She was the sweetest person ever. So, I was telling her that I wanted her to keep it and she's like "No no no! I already signed it, you have to keep it now. You're so talented, I'll definitely check out your site!" And she was just really nice and took a picture of her wearing it for my site :) 

I also saw LIGHTS again because Mrs. Avina was doing interviews, so I got to sit in during the interviews for Alex and Rian of All Time Low, Aaron from Underoath and LIGHTS again. It was such a cool experience to see the whole interviewing process and I'm glad Mrs. Avina got the passes for us :) They got to interview ATL in the press trailers bathroom, it was a tight squeeze, Alex was sitting on the toilet and I was sitting in the sink. I wish I got a picture. Hahahah, because it's like people are all "OMFGZ I MET ATL AFTA THE SHOOOWWW!" I could have been like "Yeah. What now?! I was in a bathroom with him" Hahahahhaha kidding. But it'd be funny. And Aaron from Underoath was really nice too, then I saw LIGHTS and she was like "Hi again!!" So we got to interview her, and Vasko texted me asking to get him and autograph since he got me my necklace signed and the letter and errthang. So I was like "Can you sign this for my friend Vasko, he got those things signed for me while I was watching FTSK" and she's like "Yeahh! Sure, he was so cute!" So I got that signed for him. He's sad in the picture because he wants to be with her. hahahahaha. Oh Vasko.

Alright. I'm almost done. So, since a lot of meet and greets and sets were overlapping each other, I couldn't make it to all of them. So, I asked Aly Avina and Courtney to take the Millionaires necklaces I was supposed to send a really long time ago to their merch table to see if they were there. This is Aly and Courtney's story: They went to their merch table but the girls weren't there. So, they gave them to the merch guys and they LOVED them and thought they were the coolest things. And one of the guys wanted a NJ state necklace cause he saw Aly A. wearing her CA state one I made. I wasn't sure if they got the necklaces or not yet. So, we're on our way to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner, and I'm just on my iphone, social networking you know? So, I'm checkin my facebook, and tweeting, then I get to MySpace, reading my messages, then get to my comments and I get this comment below:

And I'm like HOLY CRAP. So, I go to it, and it's a picture of my necklace that Allison Green from Millionaires tweeted about. I was freaking out, because this girl who commented me like didn't even know that I made that, there's no evidence of it being JJ in the picture. She just assumed which was already cool enough, then Allison's tweeting about it. See, the thing is, I saw the Millionaires at the brewery in February, and I made them those necklaces as a gift/endorsement pictures you know what I mean? And Allison was m.i.a. while they were meeting fans, so I just met Melissa and Dani. I was telling the 2 that I made them really cool necklaces cause I have my own business and errthang. And they were all "Ohh send it to us!" I never did hahaha. I figured it'd be easier to give it to them at Warped Tour! And yeah. So this is what Allison tweeted:

We ended the night off with a good meal at Ruby Tuesdays and our waiter was so awesome and brought Courtney a bowl of ketcup, because the little tiny one just wasn't enough. Literally. Bowl. Of. Ketchup. So, we called it a night and went to our hotel and just fell asleep immediately. This marks the end of the longest blog ever... and nobody is going to read it. Except Mary. LOVE YA NB! DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT ;)

You can call me T-Sweezy now I'm a rap star.

HAHAHAHA. Taylor Swift, I love you. And T-Pain, duh but oh my god. I didn't watch the CMT Awards, idk why. But I saw people were talking about this and I looked it up on youtube...



So, I mean, this video pretty much made my day. I watched it like 7 times already. OH! And it's fathers day, so happy fathers day, father. I gotta go to David's Bridal and get my bridesmaids dress for my dad's wedding in Hawaii next month! I might get this one, it has to be like satin though, and it says cotton sateen, so I'm not sure if it's the same thing...

Some new items!

I put up some new things that I was supposed to put up for the summer line! If you'd like to see anything else made, please let me know :) You know what song I really like? Here We Go Again by Demi Lovato. I don't know why, but it's one of those songs I listen to at first, then I keep replaying it, and replaying it. Yes, I listen to Demi Lovato. Why? Because she's talented and can actually sing. Sorry if that bothers you :)



Ah, I just saw a commercial of Little Miss Sunshine on Lifetime. Now I want to watch it. Hahah it's such a great movie. Tonight I'm going to Aly 2's house with a bunch of people and strangers, and we're having like a legit slumber party. Like sleeping bags, games and all. I'm so excited! We're like 16 years old, but we haven't had a legit slumber party since like we were 5. Hahahahaha. AND WE'RE MAKING CUPCAKES! YES!

I'll blog lataaaa. Bye.

I haven't blogged in so long...

Hiiii everyone. Sorry, I haven't updated in like... forevz. Well like 10 days, ugh idk. But it's 1am here in lovely North Carolina. Blah, I wanna go to Hawaii already! But that's not til July 10th. Whatever, I can wait. Anywho, I finally took a day off from going out so I can package everything to be sent out tomorrow. It was such a productive day. Even though I was rudely interrupted this morning when me and Jordyn were watching the Uninvited. I watched the first like, 45 minutes then my mom called telling me she was picking me up. I mean, cool. So, I spent my whole day making things, and packaging things and wanting to go to sleep, which I'm bout to do. Except I was on ebay for the longest time, and I found the CUTEST Hello Kitty iPhone case, and it's all blingy and crystal-y, and sparkly aklsdjflkajsdfl;kajsdf I WANT IT SO BAD!

It even has like a cute lil Chanel sign. Ugh, it's only $35, which is good, because most blingy ones are like $100+... but that's cause they're swarovski. BUT STILL, so cute! I was thissss close to impulsively buying it, and I still might do so. But my iPhones kinda sorta not really on the verge of breaking, I just don't even know, it's the devil. Also, I think I've tweeted too much in the past 3 days or so, I bet you guys are annoyed, whatever, get over it, unfollow me. Idk why, twitter's like, so dumb, but addicitng. Wahh. But I used it to tell you guys about special sales! Exclusive ones, at that! 

Oh by the way, TAYLOR SWIFT. Yeah, it was freaking amazing. I've grown a love for Kellie Pickler, or a greater appreciation for country music. Bahahaha, I'm just a real southern girl at heart... no, not really. That also reminds me, so, my accents go in an out. 90% of the time, I have a normal accent, like... it's just normal speaking. Then 5% of the time I'll say something like, ya'll or say things really southern-y. The other 5%, I'll have this weird northern, New York accent, and be like "dowg" instead of "dog..." THEREFORE, I've come to the conclusion that this happens because I was born in Anaheim Hills, California... and I'm pretty sure Californians have a normal accent... which is where my normal accent comes from, but I only live there for 2 years. Then I lived in North Cackalacki for 7 years, which is where I get my weird southern accent from. And I lived in New York for almost 7 years, where I obv got my New Yawk accent from. I mean, whatever, it's irrational, but I don't care. Back on topic, Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler and Gloriana were all amazing. The Fearless Tour... was amazing.

K. Gotta go. Slllllleeeeeppppp.

Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days... But the summer line is out! :) Lot's of new lollipops and other cute things! My first exam is tomorrow, ugh. But it's okay cause it's just Spanish, and that's easy. I'm getting out early for the next 4 school days because of exams, so extra time to make things and send stuff out!

I'm so stoked for next week! Here's my very exciting sched...
Monday: English II exam BUT No Doubt/Paramore concert that night!
Tuesday: Fashion Merchandising exam/last day of school, Anne's Sweet 16 that night!
Wednesday: First day of summer, shows @ the Brewery that day!
Thurdsay: My day to relax and make more new stuff for JJ :)
Friday: ... TAYLOR SWIFT IN GBORO, NC (What I'm the MOST excited for)

This week is just going by to slow it's ridiculous... but that's okay because all next week will make up for this week :)

Soooo.. you guys should leave me some feedback on the new stuff! Lemme know what you think? :)

School's almost over!

I can't wait, because once school is done, I can finally focus on JJ! I've been working on new designs all weekend, and I'm so tempted to show you guys all the new things, but you're all gonna have to wait.

In two weeks, it is going to be one of the best weeks of my life! First of all, NO DOUBT is going on their reunion tour with Paramore and I couldn't be more excited, I've been listening to No Doubt since like I was a baby. And I'm pretty excited to see Paramore too!! Then school ends on like the 10th, and on the 12th is... TAYLOR SWIFT FEARLESS TOUR 2009. Can't wait, I've been waiting to see Taylor Swift for the longest time. And of course, I'll be wearing my FEARLESS necklace that's $13, up for sale to all Taylor Swift fans on www.jawbreaking-jewelry.com. If you're headed for a T Swift concert, grab a fearless necklace. All necklaces will have a gauranteed delivery in the US before the concert but you MUST order at least a week and a half in advance to your concert date!

In other news, I'm going to be featured in 2 magazines from the UK, which is ironic because I haven't had any press in the US (besides my school paper). Haha, but I'm not complaining, I'm going to be one of the featured designers in Lipstick Royalty Magazine (www.myspace.com/lipstickroyaltymagazine) and the other magazine, seb REVUE (www.myspace.com/sebrevue) will be doing an interview with me soon, I think. So, I will definitely let you guys know when that all comes out!!

Super excited, well, I won't be going to the beach this weekend anymore :| Whatever, it's a long story. On the bright side, my iPhone just came back from the dead, but I'm going to take it to the Apple store tomorrow after some meeting. Hopefully, I can go see The Secret Handshake tomorrow! But maybe not, I don't have anyone to go with or a ride. What do YOU wanna see in the new line?! Send your suggestions to myspace, twitter, youtube, e-mail, or here on blogspot! :) Also, speaking of youtube, ask questions on the q&a video = fail video!

SUMMER LINE! AH!

Ahhhh. Summer is just around the corner and there's less than 15 school days left... I think. And this summer is going to be amazing! Jawbreaking Jewelry's summer line releases on JUNE FIRST. There are going to be 20+ new designs, and I'm not even done designing, there will probably more than I'm estimating. 

I'm going to Topsail this weekend with 3 of my friends for memorial weekend, so I won't be here to send out stuff, but everything that hasn't been received yet has either been sent out or being sent out before I leave. I probably won't have a phone this weekend, because my iphone has completely died on me, for good. So, probs no internet access at all this weekend! Idk when I'll be back, either Sunday or Monday. 

This week is spring spirit week! So far there's been, crayon day; where you dress up in one color, brainiac day; MY FAVORITE!, spirit day, and tomorrow is character day. I'm being Hello kitty tomorrow :) And friday's when i grow up day, and Idk what i'm gonna do, I guess I'll just wear a bunch of my jewelry? Hahahah.

Preview of the summer line will be up tomorrow :O

WOOOOOO.

New designs soon!

I'll be making some new designs tonight! And a bunch of photographers and models are sending in some photos with Jawbreaking Jewelry very soon. Also, if you have ever bought stuff from JJ and never sent in customer feedback or pictures, PLEASE DO! I love hearing your feedback :)

Anyways, what do you guys want to see for the new necklaces?! Remember! No copyrighted characters or items, Hello Kitty or Pokemon for example!

I'll let you guys know when the new items are up!!!!

No more complicating blogging for me!

At first, I started blogging on my websites html thing, but there was just way too much coding to go through and yadda yadda. So, here I am... On blogspot? GUESS WHAT! I'm going to be selling Jawbreaking t-shirts! They are printed on American Apparel ® Jersey V-Necks. Sizes available are XS-XL. This is a preorder, but they will be ordered next week probably! It's a simple design printed on what is, in my opinion, the greatest t-shirt brand ever! And they're v-necks, I mean really? Can you say no?

So, if you are a previous Jawbreaking customer or if you are a fan of Jawbreaking... you def gotta get this shirt! To the right is like a test view? The shirt's words will not look so computerized, just for the record. Oh, and shirts are $25! Oh and if you buy one, and one other item, you are eligible for that free donut phone charm on FREE FRIDAY! What is FREE FRIDAY you ask? Keep reading... Oh, but how spectacular is that?

ANYWAYS! Tomorrow is FREE FRIDAY, and on this FREE FRIDAY, when you spend $30 or more (subtotal) you will receive a FREE donut cellphone charm! That was a lot of capitilzation... but yeah! This will happen every Friday, with a different, small free item each time! So, be sure to order tomorrow! Woooooooooo.
