Did you know...?
It's not easy being a model!
The other day i said that i will get rid of some things in my room after a feng shui attack! ha ha! Actually i tried so hard to find things to throw away because i don't have a lot of unuseful stuff. But i did it! I threw away, a bunch of old IKEA magazines (btw the 2011 catalog came today, i will have a look later), some other magazines which i have already read, a jewelry box which was kinda broken, a picture frame which i never liked and i don't remember what else...hmm i think that's it! If i felt any better later on? Umm, not really. But my room looked less crowded.
Yesterday, i had a fashion party rehearsal that my best friend Marina is doing. She is making different kind of shirts, each one is unique and one of a kind, good quality and really, really pretty. Oh, and the most important thing is that they are totally inexpensive! I will post a link when she makes her own website so you can take a look at her work...
Rehearsing. Yeah, i have to walk as a catwalk model at her fashion party! Oh dear, i am not a model i have no idea how am i going to walk without falling. ha ha! I already tried to walk like a model, i can't say it was successful but i will do my best! I just have to be focused and not shy AT ALL!! Newspapers, magazines, cameras, a lot of our friends are gonna be there, it is going to be a crazy night! Being a model looks pretty easy but when you are being asked to walk like a model that's when you realize that it's not as easy as you thought! Chin and eye levels up, look straight forward, footprints should form a single line, head and shoulders still arrggghh a lot of things to remember, i will definitely mess up! I am not a professional, people!!!
Before the show i have to do face mask, scrub and clean it in general! I hate blackheads and open pores-as every single woman i guess duh- My face is really oily and it tends to break out a lot so i went to the drugstore the other day and i bought a garnier product 3 in 1!!! Actually i went to buy a product of the same company but it has been discontinued so the lady suggested me the 3in1 wash, scrub and mask which helps clear blackheads and imperfections. The thing that made me buy it is that it also contains clay and zinc which i heard are good for your skin. I haven't used it a lot to say whether is good or not but from the couple of times i did i must say it makes the skin really smooth and look really clean and fresh. We'll see...

Things i am obsessed with these days...=)
Yesterday after lunch i headed to the bookstore as i wanted to buy a new book. My friend Xenia came with me and even though she didn't want to buy anything she ended up buying a book as well.
Ohh, i love the smell of books.
As soon as we got in i had already spotted two books that i wanted to own. Eat, pray, love. I read online on Amazon.com that it's a best seller and soon to be a motion picture! I have to get this i said. Moved forward to the section that i call "fun reading" and i found another book from Candace Bushnell-author of Sex and the City- One Fifth Avenue. Hmm, i figured that i HAVE to buy this one too. I have plenty of free time these days so..ok enough i thought. No more books. But as i was going towards the counter another book with glossy gold cover caught my eye. The Carrie Diaries
. The book focuses on the iconic Carrie Bradshaw as she rises up from her small town roots. Yes, i am a BIG fan-as a lot of people out there- of Satc!! And if you are too then you will love it!

I couldn't resist so i bought this too. And now i am obsessed with it and i've already read up to 187 page!! I am telling ya it's an achievement for me to read that much in just one night.
Now let me introduce you to my new lover...
This cute, little, fuchsia digital camera is my new item in my to-buy list! Not very expensive for what she offers... 14.1 megapixels, super slim, lovely colors including orange, black and silver...and a bunch of other features which will make this camera my new future addiction. And the price is about $220 and 200euros! I already own a sony cybershot but in my last trip to New York it broke and now i have to replace it..Can't wait to buy it!!!
Talk to you later!! xxx
Think positive! ;)

Sun is shining and i feel fantastic!
ITS A GOOD MORNING!
Woke up feeling kinda lazy and quite depressed. But when i opened my window and the sun hit me in the face (ouch!! haha) i got this amazing feeling of positive energy and desire to do a lot of things today! I don't know why but every time i wake up in the morning feeling kinda weird and not good, it helps me cheer up when i think what are the todo things for my day! It feels like my life has a meaning and a mission that i have to accomplish!! lol I swear i am not crazy! haha
I called my two best girlfriends and talked for a little and then one of them suggested me to for lunch with her after work! I certainly said yes! But till lunch time i gotta do some other things first! Clean up and organize my room... I have never been an organized person but lately i started to put everything in order and in a specific place and i realized that it makes my life easier! I am not a big fan of feng shui but i read an article once and i saved it in my documents as i thought it is really helpful when you want to get rid of things in your house but you are not sure of which things...
"At its most basic level, feng shui involves opening up space--and, by extension, decreasing stress and increasing energy--by clearing out unwanted, unneeded, dangerous, and unpleasant items. This idea transcends time, culture, and geography: by removing from your home or place of work anything you don't know to be useful or believe to be beautiful, you give yourself more space to think, move, live, work, and enjoy your surroundings.
There are no complex steps involved in clearing clutter according to feng shui; you simply need to ask yourself, as you look at each thing in your space, Do I love this thing or do I use it often? If you can't answer "Yes" to one of those questions, chances are the object is one you can safely get rid of. This exercise alone can have a great impact on making your home or office more pleasant and more functional."
This is what i am gonna do today, i will get rid of a lot of things that i do not need in my room!
Afterwards i will let you guys know what did i get rid of! ;)
After i done with the cleaning up process i want to go to a bookstore and take a look at some books. I am interested in buying a couple of them so i can read when i have free time! I find it really relaxing and calming after a stressed day.. Meet up with my friend Xenia for lunch. I have spotted a really nice restaurant downtown. Hopefully they serve nice food as well!
Enough said, i gotta start cleaning up! Kiss kiss!

Fall 2010 must haves!!
I never used to wear scarves but i found them really cute and they can dress up an outfit really nice! I have already a couple of them...
Gloves is my favorite item for winter, they keep my hands warm cause they tend to get really, really cold and they are stylish as well!
Biker jackets in brown or black is a must have for Fall, it doesn't have to be leather you can find a lot of leatherette jackets in good prices!
A pair of jeans in grayish or black is a really good alternative if your are frustrated and don't know what to wear. Not only a Fall must have but a forever must have!! =) These are my personal favorites Hudson Jeans! <3
V-neck needlecord dress...there's something about it that makes me wanna go to Zara right now!
Everyday anxiety...go awaaay..
Woke up to go to school (not on-time, something is wrong with my alarm), brushed my teeth, washed my face, no time to do my makeup so i wore my sunglasses (thank you Ralph Lauren), keys [check], phone [check] "gotta find my earphones-WHERE are they??" When u are in a hurry you cannot find anything...ok... panic attack i can't leave the house without them. On the train the most annoying thing especially in the mornings is random conversations of random people! Sunglasses? damn! Looking for them everywhere but couldn't find them! That's cause i was already wearing them [duh!] Ready to go... On the train, on the bus, finally at school. WHAT? It's not open? Strike again? Alright, back on the bus, train and home. Gotta book my tickets for New York in December. Better find a good price on the internet this time. Let's see...bam 641.34 euros i am so booking them right now. Yes i'd like to change my seat too, thank you! Purchased, yes!! New York here i come, again!
What else do i have to do?
- grocery shopping
- beauty shopping
- deliver a mail
- cook (?)
- clean up the house
- make a list for grocery&beauty shopping
That wasn't a bad day at last. Relaxing time, lit a candle and watched some tv...tv programs are absolutely boring! Gotta check online VOGUE. I wonder what are the new trends for Fall 2010. I know i will end up making a new TO-BUY list but i can't help but take a sneak peak.
Does my wardrobe has a black biker jacket? Nope! Alright...
- Black biker jacket
http://www.elleuk.com/fashion/street-style/(section)/the-way-you-wear-it-black-biker-jackets/(offset)/0/(img)/572107
I want to buy a couple of items to enrich my wardrobe-even though i don't really need them. Reminder: i have a low budget cause i am saving to do shopping in New York. Exit button, where is it...? [up left the small red one..yeaah... a little more left...right there. PRESS IT-DO IT]
Bubble bath with the new coconut soap from "Fresh Line" [relax], brush teeth [you better get white till December fellows], read a little Oscar Wilde sounds like a good idea [relax] and then fall asleep... Let's see.. Dreaming...
