October Haul

Over the last couple of months I have been saving up all of my new purchases to put into a haul post. I did one of these a few months ago, and I had lots of in taking all the photos and writing about them. I wasn't very smart though and I haven't kept track of all the prices.. I will make sure next time I will;). Enjoy!!

Big W
The first thing I bought was a nice greeny/bluey coloured top that have capped sleeves and is longer than an average t-shirt. It looks nice tucked in to jean, skirts etc.



The next thing is a woolen jumper gets lighter as it gets closer to the bottom. It is so warm  and comfortable. It also looks really nice with necklaces, especially the ones I feature in my previous haul post. 




This item is a nice dress that goes just above the knee and has horizontal navy blues and white lines. The sleeves go just to the elbow. This dress is suitable for winter and summer as it looks nice with stockings and a coat as well as by itself. the material is also nice and flowy so it is perfect for the summer heat.



Ally Fashion
Ally Fashion is quickly becoming my favourite place to shop as it always has things on sale, but I find the full priced things can sometimes be a good deal. A few months ago I saw this skirt as soon as I walked in and I had to have it. I was the very first person to buy it at that store.. So I got in quite quick! Anyway I love the colour and pattern and the length (it goes to just above the knee). I love wearing this with a nice top tucked in with or without stockings.




K-mart
A few months ago I was in my schools musical, so I had to stock up on my make-up, so I went into K-mart and found some good make-up for reasonably good prices.

Maybeline New York Concealer or Cover Up (Sorry about the very blurry picture..)

Maybeline New York Mineral Power - Powder Foundation. It also comes with a nice small brush.

Red Revlon Lipstick - 029

Maybeline New York Black Mascara

Ebay
Earlier this year I bought an Iphone 5, and I love buying different cases. So far I have bought 5 different cases (although I have only pictured 3) to use, although I original case has broken:( I love buying off Ebay as there are so many different styles and patterns and are always pretty cheap.

This one has different patterns ranging from birds to clouds to flowers, I thought it was really cute.



The next two have an Aztec pattern but are different styles. The first one is a normal cover and the second is a flip case with spaces for cards or money inside.



Ugg Boot Shop
In winter (or any other season) Ugg Boots are a must. I'm not sure about anywhere else, but Uggies are a very popular type of shoe. As you can see I wasn't very clever and didn't water proof them before wearing them outside at a camp when it rained most of the time..  and I now have a mark as long as your thumb along the side.. Anyway, these are very comfortable slippers and are a must in my wardrobe.

A Few More Photos

A few months ago I made a post just showing photo's, and that was quite popular, so I thought I would make another post purely of random photo's I have taken over the last few months.

I pushed Butternut through Safeway the whole shopping trip.

Top TV Shows

Hi everyone!! Today I thought I would share with you what my favourite TV shows are and what they are about. In my family we sit down and watch TV shows that we have bought (we  have over 10 different series in our cupboards) and we watch them from start to end over a few weeks. I become quite attached to the characters, so when a show finishes I get quite sad..

Will & Grace 
This show started in 1999 and is about a group of friends who are all very close. I grew up watching this, and have watched every episodes more than 7 times. You watch Will, Grace, Jack and Karen do many funny things (like going to the Sound of Music Sing-Along all dressed up). It is based in New York City, so it is very different settings to where I live. This is a show that will put a smile on your face:).



During the trip from my lounge room to my bedroom I seemed to have lost 3 seasons of this...

Friends
Friends I suppose is very similar to Will and Grace, and is from a similar time. It is all about 6 friends getting up to mischief in New York City, along the way the fall in love with many people. This series had 10 seasons, and I cry every time  I get up to the last episode. In true sitcom fashion, this show will make you laugh.



Even though there is ten seasons you won't get bored!!

Modern Family
This is another sitcom, although it only started in 2009. It is all about one big family and their relationship with each other.As the title says it is a modern family, not oe you would have seen 50 years ago, which I like as there aren't many shows like this one.  This series is still being produced and we are up to the fourth season in my house. You could watch it a million times and still walk away in stitches.



It's sad when you see your family in the characters;)
Big Bang Theory
Big Bang Theory is a hilarious show about 6 scientists and an actress who all get together and have fun, whether it's the boys playing dungeons and dragons or the girls (and sometimes Raj) having girls nights in. I like this because it isn't the normal sitcom as it is all about scientists. My family thinks I am just like Sheldon, but I only see that through my uncoordinated way of running..



It gets better every season!!
Doctor Who
This series is very different to the ones I have already talked about, although it is just as good. It is all about an alien (called The Doctor) who travels through time and space with human companions. This series first started in 1963 and started up again last decade. It can be serious at times but there are plenty of jokes thrown in the mix also. We love this show, my sister has even made herself a blog dedicated to all things Doctor Who, you have a look through this link --> The Twelve Doctors

It's always sad to see a doctor go, but you can always fall in love with the new one;)

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed reading this post. If you haven't seen any of these shows, make sure you check them out. If you like them make sure you leave a comment below and tel us what you like.

August + September

September was a very interesting, busy month for me for many reasons.

Work Experience

As part of year 10, we have to do Work Experience where we work in a place that is a possible career choice for your future. I have always wanted to become a Primary School Teacher so I worked at my sisters school in the Special Education Class and Music Class. I loved working these classes. I was in the Special Education Class for 4 days, and I learnt about how each student learns best. It has definitely shown me this is what I want to do after school.
My Birthday

The 7th of September was my sixteenth birthday. As it was my sixteenth birthday I wanted something special that I will keep forever. So a couple of day before my parents took my to the jewelry shop to be fitted with a Pandora's Bracelet and to pick out a charm as a present. Some of my other family members also bought charms for me so I now have 5 charms.
I also went out for dinner with my friends where I was also spoilt me with presents. We took heaps and heaps of funny photos. 

Birthday Cake

The Royal Adelaide Show

Every year in Adelaide there is the Royal Adelaide Show. Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia and is much, much bigger than any other town in the state. I have only ever gone to country shows, so it was quite nerve racking walking around heaps of people (country shows are big enough for me!!) My dad, sister and I went on a ride called the Alibaba which takes you high in the sky then quickly comes back down. Lets just say my dad was happy to be safely back on the ground. We also went on the Ferris Wheel, Dodgem Cars and played the side show games. I played the basketball one and I got every shot in. My family were very surprised when I walked back with a giant Lady Bug.. It was a very good day

Music Camp

In the last week of term 3, year 10 music students from my school travelled to Adelaide to  perform in front of classes at various schools. I played my clarinet and sung. The performances went well, I'm very lucky to part of a very talented school and year level, with teachers that are willing to do things to make us better performers.
Whilst in Adelaide we had a lot of free time, so naturally we had to go shopping. We were staying in the city so trips to Rundle Mall were quite easy (Although we did start walking the wrong way and nearly got lost.. But luckily a nice lady showed us the way..;)). I bought lots of things from Typo (a stationery shop) an bought the new One Direction Perfume which smells great. I'm not normally very confident walking around this small town without an adult let alone a big city, but I am very happy with myself as my nerves didn't really show.
