Snejana Onopka

Snejana Onopka by Terry Tsiolis- VOGUE Russia July 2009
Love the sequined coat, now if only I can get my hands on one of those!
Have had these three pictures on my desktop for a month or two now and finally decided to post them up. I didn't feel too inspired by them- but that fits my mood right now. 
Actually I am a bit of the opposite. I feel so inspired by everything, but I just don't have the time to draw, sketch, or make anything. It's quite sad actually. 
I would like to have about 30 garments made by the end of July, but as of now I don't think I can even get one done. 

Summer is almost over, in a month all my friends here in the states will be going back to their colleges and then I'll be going to california then back to London. It seems like I haven't even done anything for summer... maybe the worst summer ever or at least the most boring and un-eventful.

smashing


Took a 12 hour drive to North Carolina from New York and it was hell. 
Painted my nails a weird green, I haven't decided whether I like it or not.
Thinking about September gives me the heeby-geebies. 
Went to my cousin's graduation and James Franco was sitting a few feet away from me. At one point during the reception... I could have sneezed and my snot would have gotten on him. Saw him during the dinner too, I think he's cuter in movies than in person.
I need a haircut, but have not had the time nor the patience to sit still.
I don't know why I'm writing a list of my feelings/thoughts.
I hate the posting on blogger- the space is so small.
I'm thinking about moving to another blog host and possibly expanding my blogging to college food, music, places to shop, etc and not just random pictures of my outfits because there's just so much of that on blogger.
It's almost time for me to sleep and then go teach summer camp kids early in the morn.

lets have some fun this beat is sick

It's such a weird angle.... but I wanted to show you the back pocket on my shorts that I made this term in school. The star is machine stitched... but done free hand :) 
Boots: Nine West
Shorts: Made them :)
Belt: Versace
Necklaces: Chinatown in New York and Primark (UK)
Pink cropped Top: from Italy

Been wearing a mustard colored shirt everyday this week with jeans for a summer camp I am working at. It's nice to come home and get into something different to go out. 

I saw High School Musical 3 today with my boyfriend and I'm not sure that I liked it. It's definitely the worst out of the 3. I felt like it kept on skipping parts and usually I'll leave a HSM movie with a tune stuck in my head, but this one didn't leave me any tune.... I can't even remember one song!! Eck.

techno no no no

The roses that my boyfriend surprised me with at the airport! They are more pink, but the lighting is just horrible. Plus they smell good :) Love you Jeffrey!
Got this new dress- which looks like it's woven... but its actually a jersey print- reminded me a bit of missoni... but according to my friend* he said I looked like a grandma! I could totally see that though because my grandma would have worn something like this. 
The dress came down to my ankles but it was at a weird length so I cut it and with the rest of the lower half I made a scarf... Prolly will start wearing it in the fall. 
Wore this on Sunday and some might recall me wearing this with heels... but once I got home I had to change to flats! My feet were tired from wearing heels for 6 hours!
I am in desperate need of a tan and haircut!!
And I am still jet-lagged rahh

fly fly away

I've just come back to New York Thursday night and my boyfriend (who is the best ever) met me at my terminal and surprised me with a dozen pink roses! I'll have to post up a pic soon! It was so weird leaving my halls on Thursday... my room was completely empty as you can see below... 

My luggage that I had to drag with me all the way to the tube station and then took an hour to get to Heathrow: not to mention my clothes were so sweaty I needed to change. 
Here's my airport outfit, was so hott that day-- but I knew on the airplane it would get a bit chilly... oh and I took my hair down, just did that for the time being because I was so sweaty!
H&M cardi for mens... but I love it. 
Top: unknown
Shorts: A&F
Shoes: Ebay that I bought two years ago.
Some celeb airport style, they are so lucky they don't have to sweat or carry their luggage, seriously I can't believe how much I went though at the airport!!!
(nicole and vanessa images from google)
I will be super busy, working at a summercamp 8-4 everyday and I have to wear the same three shirts everyday with pants that have to be knee length. I hate uniforms. Especially when it's going to be 90F and I'll be chasing around little 7 year olds. 

thank you  http://baphometro.blogspot.com/ for this gift!

emma who?

killer shoes and the sets are pure genius!

Of all the Teen Vogue Magazines I have ever gotten (and I've been a subscriber for more than 5 years) this has been the best editorial. I was surprised they were even able to pull this off. I just felt it was so different from their usuals... I can't wait to get home and read the article next to these fabulous pictures! Emma Watson looks so amazing, I was truly stunned, actually I've been getting quite impressed by her with the burberry ad and the Karl Lagerfeld portraits, things seem to be going really well for little hermoine!
Some in between shots of her (above)
the colors and outfits are so captivating!

pin her up

so my friend had a pin-up/ burlesque theme party in soho last night- i have been looking forward to it for a while now... 
This is what I wore- had to wear jeans because I knew I would be coming home really late by myself and my halls are in a scary neighborhood, if not I would have worn a short fluffy skirt.
And sorry about the weird shot, my room is a complete mess as I am packing to take my stuff into storage!
I think there were about 8-11 girls that came out last night, most people didn't get too dressed, which kind of made me sad because that was what I was looking forward to the most. I had alot of fun dancing though :)

I reckon my outfit was not as dressed up as well, and I could probably just wear it out on a normal night out... and trust me, if I weren't coming home by myself I would've done alot more to achieve the ultimate pin-up look. Too bad I didn't take more pictures of the other girls.

stunning sunny

so basically i have packed all of my clothing and shoes and gave it to my friend for storage over the summer, so probably not many outfit pictures until next week or so. But I do have really great images stored up on my laptop for sharing!
