Closet Hipster

Before you proceed to the article, please read this. My friends and I decided to take part in Jailbreak, a charity raising money for the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital.

In what seems to me like the outbreak of the closet hipster in me, I have been obsessing over all things vintage lately. Clothes, boutiques, books, songs... you name it! And so it should come as no surprise that disposable cameras managed to catch my fancy, despite being so fabulously unpractical. I'd like to say that it's the mystery behind it which excites me, but I think it's mostly the mere fact that I find the pictures pretty which drives me to use them. Here are just some examples...

Born to Die

Come take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane

Choose your last words

This is the last time

Because you and I

We were born to die

My continuous girl crush on Lana Del Rey is taking on a whole new dimension. I listen to her every day, her songs play on a loop in my head. Have you heard of her? She won the 2011 Q Awards' Next Big Thing title, and she is simply amazing. It is not so often that I become so completely infatuated with a female artist, but I can't help myself this time. Definitely check her out!

Let's set the world on fire

Tonight

We are young

So let’s set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the sun

Welcome to 2012! It's been a year since I launched sabinasupernova.com (preceded by my "Pixie Dust" blog for those wondering why I have posts as old as 3 years) and while I have been updating very sporadically in the past couple of months, I'm generally happy with the direction this blog is going and am blessed to have such amazing readers :) My style has certainly changed since I've moved to London and I am hoping to document this transformation for you in the coming months.

Ombré

Guess what! I summoned up all my courage and finally did something with my hair! I've been falling in love with the ombré trend ever since seeing Rachel Bilson's, Ashlee Simpson's and Lily Aldridge's take on it, but I'm a giant coward when it comes to my hair, so I never really considered doing it. Going to university and being a *cough* adult *cough* is, however, giving me strange urges to be impulsive (which I suppose is exactly the opposite of what should be happening, but oh well!), which result into a wide array of results ranging from amazing to catastrophic... and this one was awesome! I decided to be a brave girl and did the deed myself in my friend's room for £6 to avoid the unjustified £140 price tag - turns out Boots bleach is equally effective and that I'm not a completely failed quasi-hairdresser. The £134 I saved shall be a good contribution to my clothes/shoes/drinks budget this Christmas!

I'm a Naughty Blogger

I thought a slight sexual connotation in the title of this post might make my long-drawn absence a little easier to bear, but as usual I am probably wrong. I have not been kidnapped by the flying spaghetti monster and neither have I decided to go live with an African tribe and give up my access to things like sushi, high heels and the internet - no, I simply moved to London and began my hectic conversion into an adult/university student. It is hard work - I have to juggle great responsibilities like washing my underwear, occasionally buying food and sometimes even doing coursework!

Halloween

Quite honestly though, I am living the life. Living la vida loca. And while I'm at it, I am wearing pretty clothes, too. I wore latex leggings to one of my lectures the other day. And I went vintage shopping in Camden Town today. I have not given up on fashion. I am just a little overwhelmed at the moment and so the blogosphere was not a priority for a while. But I am getting settled down now, having found an (almost) healthy balance between partying and studying.

I really miss blogging, I just haven't really figured out a way to incorporate it into my everyday life.

But once I do things will be normal again. Pinkie promise.
