etsy

I just recently discovered etsy, a site where people sell things they make homemade. I spent two full hours looking through all the amazing wares then came to a realization;

I DIY things! I could do this!

So my new project is to set up an Etsy shop, probably selling shoes (though I'm not sure; I love all things DIY!)

Some things I'm lusting after:







Aside from homemade things, a lot of people sell vintage clothing! It's really great, and I highly recommend checking it out :)

(another thing to put on my christmas list!)

lucy! i'm home!

So you wanna know the real reason I haven't been on here in two months? There are three:
1) I'm super busy. [read: AP US History consumes my life.]
2) My mother's digital camera is a bitch, and it takes FOREVERRR to upload the pictures from it. I'm planning on buying myself one for Christmas, but I'm trying to figure out when they'll be cheapest: now, right before Christmas, right after, or like in January. Any thoughts?
3) This is probably going to sound really whiney and annoying, but I've felt really fat lately and I'm tired of seeing my fat self on my blog. So, until I get skinny [hah, i've been telling myself that for the last two years] there won't exactly be an abundance of pictures of me.


WELL. I hate to be materialistic, but I have a Christmas wishlist, which I made into a little collage:

Frye Boots (Wendy has these, and I love them!): http://tinyurl.com/4re3ey
Peacoat: http://tinyurl.com/cutetrenchcoat (It's not actually a trenchcoat, the URL just says that. *shrug* my bad.)
Ice Skates: I've recently gotten super into figure skating! My little sister's friend is really good, and he's been teaching me every Saturday. It's so much fun, it's really good exercise, and I really like the challenge of trying to get better! Now I need my own skates (the rentals are so gross!)
Oxfords: I know they're old news, but they're basically staples, and I need a pair!

SO. News in my life:
I need advice. There's this super cute boy in my Orchestra class (he's a viola too!), and I've neeever been good with boys AT ALL. Basically, my romantic social skills = zero. I'm not sure he even knows I exist (there are 60 people in the class) and I want him to notice me, but I'm scared to talk to him! Arghhhh. He's a senior, and he's just so freaking attractive. Haha it's intimidating. It would be weird if, since it's already halfway through the year, I just went up to him and was like "Hi. I'm Sophia. Nice to meet you." I don't know what to do =/ I'm hoping somehow next time we switch seats I'm stand-partners with him! Wishful thinking though, because he's really good and is almost always like third chair. Grr. Anyhow, help me!!

I got another really awesome award from Inside the Cabinet of Wonder, but I'm going to wait until next post to accept it and pass it on, since this post is pretty long already!

Well, that's the end of this post. Do you like the new header?
By the way, I'm figuring out how to make / edit layouts, so if my blog is screwy, it's probably because I'm playing with the settings.

IMPORTANT: If I used to have you linked on here, let me know! All my links got deleted, so I'll put you back on if you let me know!!

URGH!

I just wrote out an entire post, only to see "the page cannot be displayed." I lost the whole thing! Grr. >=[


I was at my friend Tim's birthday party today. Tim wants to be a fashion designer, and he seriously got 9283746 fashion books as presents. I started reading one in particular ...


Nina Garcia! Project Runway! Basically my life! [almost.]

It really inspired me to, as Nina says, "edit my wardrobe to what looks good and makes me feel good." So, I just spend the last half hour throwing out all my clothes. Or, at least, 70% of them.

What Sophia needs to complete her now-bare wardrobe:
1) A TRENCH COAT.
2) basic tshirts in black and white[my old ones were getting pilly.]
3) to go to a flea market! I've never been to one, and I've heard you can get some interesting stuff!
4) A tshirt bra
5) Some basic loose dresses
6) Fun, funkier heels [I just started learning to walk in them, haha]
7) Cool pieces [jumpsuits, overalls, vests, etc.]
8) A pair of heeled black OXFORDS!
9) to shop at Topshop [online, of course, since I live in freaking Pennsylvania, in which there is no fashion, let alone a Topshop]
10) MONEY. =/

Wish Upon A Star

I was going to do my very first outfit post today, but my little sister [aka photographer] wasn't home. So, I figured I'd take this opportunity to share my wishlist with you.

1) A plaid skirt
Oh how I want a plaid miniskirt [but not too mini!] but I can't find the perfect one anywhere! If anyone knows where I can find a good one, let me know!

2) A peacoat
I am embarrassed to say that I do not own a peacoat, a trench, a leather jacket, or any other sort of fashionable outerwear. I want a peacoat, though, in the worst way.

3) More blazers
A girl can never have too many blazers. I don't have enough!

4) To go thrifting
I have never been thrifting before, in my whole life! My OCD mother thinks it's absolutely disgusting to wear a stranger's old clothing, but luckily there's a thrift store right next to the senior high school, which I will be at this year! I'll just go right after school on the first day!

5) More skirts in general
I mentioned a plaid skirt specifically, but also other skirts. I'm low in the skirt department.
