attempting to emulate something rihanna-ish

this was hell to put together i officially have the worst camera ever. The battery life is about 5 seconds, but I went through it because i was determined and won't let it get in the way of things even though it did highly compromise the end result, but hey-ho there we go(:

plain jane

I'm really determined to make this a daily blog, but since I basically went to bed as soon as i got back from school and just woke up so I grabbed the nearest pieces of clothing and it turned into a happy accident imo, just casual that's the only way to explain this look really understated and i love it. Again, i haven't cut my hair it's just since I'd been sleeping an hour earlier i still had my hair back in a plait so my mahoosive afro doesn't get all tangled and knotted in the night, which trust me is not a good situation.



edit- have decided not to just do daily posts for the sake of it, I'll probably end up posting random pictures of me which no one really cares about, so I've decided to only post when i feel inspired and feel it's actually worth posting, s'all about "quality not quantity"

"Heaven sent"

Day 2 with the vivitar, it's actually not bad I've grown to love that 5mp bundle of joy. Here is today's look (: I've really missed doing them, it's been wayyy too long! inspired by the "Heaven sent" article(?) in my beloved NYLON, hope you enjoy(:




apologies for the terrible quality 
this^ was the only shot where it wasn't too dark, too blurry or i didn't look miserable hahaha, i actually look loads older too, don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing

new beginnings! (plus a fair amount updates)

Just started a new year at school and I'm really motivated to start (again) with this blog i love fashion and I really appreciate my amazing followers who have bothered to follow me (or maybe  just haven't figured out how to unfollow) but I LOVE you guys! but don't lose hope on me, I really want to do this and I'm as motivated as ever! I'm gonna try and cram as much as i can in this, just a brief update of pictures from the past couple moths that I haven't got round to putting up earlier, my apologies for my 2 month long absence D:


Taken 16th July 2011 while out shopping(:


I purposely blurred out the logo of the paper bag to retain my dignity, anyone from the UK will probably recognize it and feel sympathy for my lack of discipline to stay away.


the next day at Guilfest! 27th July 2011
being a good friend and protecting identities



That was the day I lost my festival virginity and it felt good! I gotta say the acts weren't exactly my kinda thang but the whole atmosphere and crowds made up for that, for me it wasn't really about the music. I know how stupid i must sound saying that about a MUSIC FESTIVAL but it's true for me anyway, don't get me wrong It would've been freakin incredible if there were tons of my favorite acts performing but it was my first time and I really enjoyed myself and that's all that mattered, if ya get me? hopefully I'll go to another one next year! but not Guilfest (no offence).


on a more depressing note.. I lost my camera AND my espio is broken! fml. 


we've have had good times together :')


taken with the espio 


For those who don't know the multiplied effect was added later with editing, i just like this better than the original tbh 


with my no-camera handicap it's been a struggle to capture moments but luckily through desperate rummaging i came across my old 5mp vivitar, "where there's a will there's a way"  

I have realized it has been a looong while since an update of me gushing over the latest issue of nylon lovingly greeting me when i get back from school and making my life better.. so here's 2 in one! that I've missed, edited in SamanthaKristina traditional fashion. 






new sunglasses, my first good ones that i actually really like, I'm not really a sunglasses kinda person (well I am, but I'm not very "financially well off" and you don't get much use out of them anyway living in England)


 2 euros from JC WHATABARGAIN! they look pretty cheap (which they are...) but they look soo much better in person i promise!


although it appears otherwise i haven't cut my hair off

and last but not least..wall updates :D I've nearly  finished basically 90% done one night i was feeling randomly inspired took down about half of it and started (most of it) again, here is the (almost)  finished product!







"thankyou and goodnight"

I ♥ Hailee Steinfeld

Second post of the day! I just think Hailee Steinfeld is stunning, super talented and I'm in love with everything she wears. I want her to be my friend, she's only a few months older than me. Not gonna lie I've never seen any of her movies... but I just love her as a person and what she wears, well love's a bit of a strong word since I've never met her. But still, I just think she's really cool.







the list

sorry again, for the loooong absence, I don't know how this keeps happening but anyway I'm back (for now) never heard me say that before..
well since May, I decided to start a bucket-list-type-thingy, well i wouldn't call it a bucket list but just a do list for things in the near future, I really wanna get my life on track and make the most of my teen years. (for eg.I'm such a clumsy person, I'm always loosing stuff especially money.So I put on my list to start a savings jar so i could have all my money in one place, instead of finding 5p somewhere and then putting it in my pocket and losing it. I know getting a purse/wallet would be the simple answer but I'm not very good at keeping them either so just putting everything in one big jar is the easiest thing for my simple mind)


former lidl pickle jar
 also on my list was to buy some red lipstick, because I've always thought it looked soo cool on everyone and it's such a classic, iconic colour.Too bad it doesn't really suit me and looks pink in this picture.. but it's not that much of a loss it was only £1.99 from natural collection :') 
waah I look so pale

This is old news and came weeks ago, buuut I have the new Nylon!Florence Welsh on the cover and it's the music issue.Not gonna lie, I've never heard of half the bands mentioned in there but hey-ho. I've never really been a music-y person unlike Ellie who lives and breathes the stuff.

wall progress and shizz

I'm about 60% done WOO! slow, but steady progress. Here are a few pictures, my room is tiny and I don't have a good zoom on my camera AND my other two would've been able to capture the whole thing but then I'd have to get the film developed and then scanned, which is effort just for a little update.

and In commemoration of this milestone, I took my first picture against (half of) it without any blank spaces that annoyed the hell out of the OCD part of me.
I am aware I edited the crap out of this picture, I have a problem and need to get help. and last but definitely not least I am so sorry for being absent for so long, I don't know how these long gaps happen and every time I say "I'm BAACK" I jinx myself and don't write anything after that for a month,I hate to be so unreliable, I'm gonna try and be more regular and please you guys cos that's my aim. ALSO this morning I was delighted to find that a new nylon came in the post :3
sorry couldn't help myself
