The Eccentric Manifesto

Ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you my brand new blog:

I have been wanting to venture into a new territory for a long time and I finally did it! The new website, The Eccentric Manifesto, will be a place to share my thoughts on current affairs, politics, the state of the world and general ramblings. As you may already know, I am currently studying politics and Russian at university in London and I feel like I need a place to vent my more academic thoughts :)

No worries - The Eccentric Manifesto is not a replacement for this website. I simply realised that they will most certainly attract different audiences and hence it seems like a good idea to keep them separate. The good news is that Sabina Supernova will, from this moment forward, be merely about fashion and my personal style.

Please, come visit my new blog and, if it is of any interest to you, become a follower! 

I really appreciate all of your support and thank you in advance!

Kisses, Sabina

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. On 25th February 2012, we will attempt to get as far away from London as possible - all within 36 hours and without spending a single penny. Please support us and our cause!

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!
