What a HECTIC week it's been! I was finally changed from Pure Maths into Maths Literacy, and my word, the amount of work I have to catch up before June Exams is intense, and I have a little more than a month to do it in! I'm stressing so badly! Right now I'm spending time trying to sort my room out, due to all the new stationary that had to be bought (text books to help me understand what I'm doing, etc) and I though this would be easy? Boy, was I wrong!

My schedule for the next couple of weeks is going to be intense, between studying and writing tests and doing orals, as well as helping out for Dance Committee at my school, I won't have much time for blogging and so forth, but that's okay, because as soon as I'm done I will have a nice long holiday in which I can relax.

Meg gave me a brilliant idea for the blog, which I'm sure she'll blog about soon, because she's just that awesome!

P.S. Will be posting some new pics of my latest art works soon xx

Megan's Outfit

Hey there everyone!
Megan's stuff

As promised, I got Megan McArthur to agree to an outfit blog, and since she is now an admin of this page, I didn't need to add a photo of her, since she did it for herself, which I am glad about, because I don't know which photo's she especially likes of herself!

Last Night I asked her to send an outfit that she likes, and so she sent me a picture of what she bought when she'd gone shopping the day before! Seems she has an adoration for pretty skirts and her own sensible style!
What it looks like on her

I'm not normally a person who likes skinny people, because I'm very, very jealous of them, but simply way too lazy to do anything about it, BUT I must say, that skirt looks simply dazzling on Megan. I think High waist bottom parts of an outfit can do an awesome amount to a figure, because unlike hipsters, you don't get love handles, and it just pulls everything in!

Pink is a tone that should go on people with a slightly darker skin tone, because It shows better, It doesn't help if I wear pink, because it fades out against my skin, and that's because I'm very pale, so blues and greens look better on myself.


Meg on the other hand looks great in her skirt, and I think this is a HIT! So there you have it, folks, a lovely outfit from a lovely person.

Lee & Megs shared ownership.

Hello I'm Megan Mcarthur..

Leigh is my step brothers girlfriend! One day she asked for my opinion on her blog which resulted to me redoing the layout of her blog! we then later decided we wanted to share this page and blog together! I am currently living in the UK and Leigh lives in South Africa which makes things so much more interesting! we really hope you enjoy our posts!

So let me tell you a bit about myself :)

My name is Megan McArthur i am currently a beauty student at college! i want to travel the world on a cruise ship whilst working on the cruise ship at the same time! My dream is to be a beauticion.

Super Star

Ah! I simply love the fact that someone redid my blog for me! I simply love it's vibe! Thank You Megan McArthur, you're a super star!

She's my boyfriends, step-mum's daughter! She's really cute and sweet, and she'd do anything for anyone, which is a really cool trait to have!

I was pretty confused one day, when I received an invite from a Megan McArthur, and I asked Brendin who she might be, wondering if perhaps he knew, and he laughed and said "Well, Yes.. That's my wife!" and I laughed of course, because pretty girls will always get the boy, and in my case, Megan is the pretty one!

So now it's on! Basically family, I am dating Megan's "husband" . Woooww that sounded really really dodgy!

So it's freezing outside, the coldest I've ever felt since I started living by the sea, and I'm actually wearing winter, fluffy socks! I can't wait till winter, maybe if we're lucky we'll have snow.

Unfortunately I don't have any photographs of Megan, because I haven't asked her for any to post, but also because I'm not going to stalk her profile and take pictures from there without permission, but if she does give me permission, the next time I blog I'll add a photo of her, and perhaps an outfit that she absolutely adores, and in which she can tell you about herself!

Good Night world, Sweet dreams,

and once again,

Thank you Meg! You've been lovely! <3 xx

As Promised

Hello there my fellow.. followers? I don't quite know!
As promised, I would do a photo shoot, and that I did, at the Durban Botanical Gardens, in well, Durban...My friend Chris, he's very, very special to me, has made me feel very much more special when he told me he keeps checking my blog for updates! This gives me a very positive outlook on this blog, and hopefully soon I will have some more followers!
Caroline on the Picnic blankie

I went yesterday to the gardens to do this photoshoot with a friend of mine, Caroline, and here are the pictures!

Caroline and I in the explosive palm trees

 The day consisted of a picnic and a couple hours doing hair and trying to find the right outfit, and since I was unable to find something inspiring, I just threw on the first thing I saw, which was a pair of shorts and a white tee, got from the Hub (shirt) and Legit (shorts) the scarf I made out of beads and obviously, a scarf thing which I bought at a Chinese store. Caroline was rocking Jeans from Mr. Price and boots from a shop in the mall, I forgot the name, and the scarf is mine, from Egypt when my mom's-ex-bosses-mother went there. Unfortunately Mrs. Wilkie passed away, but her memory is still well alive, the way she was very, very French, and kind.

 I had a wonderful time at the gardens, being in nature is my thing, and I absolutely adore it.

I hope to do this again soon!

Maggie

So unfortunately I didn't manage to do a photo shoot, instead my sister and I sat and watched "The Da Vinci Code" while I worked on my painting, and now we're sitting in my room, she's busy using liquid eyeliner, drawing all over my foot while I write this blog.

So, because I didn't manage to do the photo shoot, I thought I would introduce you to my long time friend Maggie, who agreed to have me post her outfit that she wore to Kalk Baai in Cape Town today. She's been on of my closest friends for a while, and even though we fight a lot, we have always made up somehow. I love this girl to bits, even though sometimes I get so mad. So here goes!

Meet Maggie:

Maggie in her Outfit


Converse sneakers
Here she is wearing the outfit that I decided to post, and this is where the elements came from:
The hoodie came from a shop called Wingz, the Skirt she is wearing from Edgars, and her beanie came from a place called Ska, she added her own "skater girl" element to the outfit by wearing High-Top Converse Sneakers, which in my opinion was a terrific idea, and she added her own hippy style by adding into her outfit the accessories- necklaces, and hand bag over the shoulder with the pretty, colorful wrist bracelets.

Maggie is currently in High School, same as me, and in the same grade. The cool thing about her is that she's super smart and funny, and she has so many friends, truthfully I envy her people's approach. I don't really keep friends well, but hey! Sometime in the future I am going to track this girl down, and we will go for cappuccino or Milo somewhere, and I will force her to tell me all her secrets! *wink wink*

Sure she wouldn't mind that then, would she?

:)

Saturday!

Brendin and I on my Birthday
Good Morning world! Today my plans are to clean, and then hopefully I'll be able to go to a shop somewhere, just to look around, because I've been stuck in this house for waaaayyy to long :) either that, or I'm going to force my sister to take photo's of me wearing some nice ideas I thought of last night while I was asleep, and then I'll post them later.

I have Exams next term, which starts on the eighth, so that means I'll have my laptop only once a week, so my posting will be slow, but I promise I won't neglect you all, as I will have a lot of time for new Ideas while I'm studying !
Lead Graphite on paper


Speaking about new Ideas, I am going to post my latest sketch, and I would like to hear what you think about it, and if I should keep posting my art as a whole!

Please forgive me, I know it is lopsided a bit, by the glass. That's because it was in the file when I took this. At the moment I'm busy working on a painting for art, as soon as that's finished I'll be sure to post a picture of it for feedback and to hear what I could improve!

Have a Wonderful day :)

New to Blogging

So, Hey, I guess! I'm kinda new to the whole blogging thing, so I'm not quite sure what people like and so forth, but hey, why not?

I am creating this Blog as a recreational thing, mostly having posts about fashion and art, but food and lifestyles are also going to be part of it, like daily life in High School and stuff like that. I also hope to learn more about different cultures and interesting things from other people here!

This is me being random..


I read other people's fashion blogs, and that's what gave me the idea to create my own. Hopefully mine will be as good as theirs!








And this is me today after playing with makeup :)



I enjoy the following blogs:

http://somesayivesnapped.com/
http://emwearsthings.blogspot.co.uk/
http://www.zoella.co.uk/




Those blogs are what made me want to start up this one!



I can't wait to hear some feedback from everyone here, and hopefully soon I will be posting some pictures of my own artwork and some fashion advice for other teenagers just trying to fit in! I hope to be an inspiration somehow, and I believe that one day I will achieve that!
