Teenage Dream

I now know what it feels like to be under pressure thanks to school. I just want everyone to know that it is COMPULSARY that my year group attend maths and English revision classes on a SATURDAY......  OMG WHY!!
So anyways, I turned 16 last Friday and had a party after revision on Saturday to celebrate. It was actually more of a 'small gathering', as there was only about seven of us and we spent the day in my garden skipping and hula- hooping like children. I spent the Thursday night recording a mix tape and it sounds rubbish because I recorded the music off youtube from my ipod speakers straight to the tape recorder if that makes any sense at all. Now if I play the Human League on the mix tape it sounds fuzzy and I'm pretty sure you can hear Mrs Chibbles meowing in the background.....

Here are some fashion illustrations (?) I did a couple of weeks ago and literally only just scanned onto the computer.....

 

I'm liking that 'Bay City Rollers' pant and sock combo haha

 

I would like this hair and those shoes please.

I also finally took some film to get developed the other week. I think most of them are from when I went to London in Summer 2012...

 

This is at that Harry Potter Warner Bros thing last year. Those peeps in the yellow and red are my parents!

 

I have no idea who this lady is as I remember intending to take a picture of that swirly swing ride thing. 

This turned out a little blurry.

This one is from when I went on a coach trip to Haworth and some 1940s weekend was going on.

London again.

Also London.

 

I took this at the Harry Potter Land in London. It is a HUGE ice sculpture but really it's made of

glass.

 

 

As I am just finding old pictures that I have saved on my computer right now, I'll share some holiday pics from the summer......

Scrunchies and hair clips

So it is finally the summer holidays. Well, my school actually broke up on Thursday, but, WHATEVS. I'd like to congratulate Wills and Kate on having their baby- you guys are so cute and awesome!!
So here are some photographs I took the other week for my art coursework. I only just managed to print them off the computer and glue them in my sketchbook on the day I had to hand it in and it is still not finished so I am kind of pooing that I'll have to finish it in my own time next year.
I would also like to start doing some fun posts this holiday, you know, stuff like outfit posts and pics from days out (yea I say this everytime I even do a post I know).

Joe le taxi

Oh god.... my post titles are getting more and more ridiculous, so I'll apologise for that now before they get even more random and irrelevant!
Sooo, I HAVE LITERALLY EIGHT DAYS LEFT TILL THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS!!!!!! YEA BOIIII!!! Wow I'm so excited!
Well the weather's been fine where I live, you know, everyone's been in their gardens, havin' fun in tha sun!
I've also kept up with Wimbledon this year, so WHOOO MURRAY!!!!!

 

Well here I am blowing bubbles in quite an 'overgrown' area of my garden. I don't know why I'm wearing some sort of Mexican-style outfit.... um yeah I do actually, it's because I tried to go all Frida Kahlo.

I got this skirt in AgeUK on Saturday. I had to alter it because it was twice my size. My top is from a vintage jumble sale and I made my flower crown out of some artificial flowers that my grandmother was going to throw away. Oh yeah and my necklace is also from AgeUK!

 

yum.

Had this song in my head ALL WEEKEND!!

blurr

Ok, I must apologise for my recent lack of blogging. I am also apologising for the blurry-ness of the photographs I'm sharing with you- I don't even know why they've gone like that! So anyways, at school we break up for half term for a week and I SHOULD PROBABLY USE THIS TIME TO CATCH UP WITH ART COURSEWORK AND REVISE FOR MY SCIENCE EXAM. Urgh so much work.

                           

 

This is a picture I made earlier this week when I should have been doing art homework.

                     

                     

 

Umm, I went a bit overboard with Royal Wedding merch on Sunday at a charity shop. I was actually just going to buy a Charles and Diana mug but the guy at the till just kept showing me all these plates so I just bought them because they were only 49p each.

This is the graveyard in Haworth where I went last Saturday, there was this '1940s Weekend' going on- omg it was sooo cool!

                       

 

This is in the Bronte Parsonage Museum and it's just the house where the Bronte sisters lived but it's been turned into a museum omg it was soo amazing I just really wanna go back.

These past three weeks have been a bliss, and I'm talking, like, THERE'S BEEN NO SCHOOL FOR THREE WEEKS!!! Yeah baby yeah!! We got an extra week off this holidays because our school is being rebuilt in a different location.

New York City 2013

Oh my golly gosh- finally, I have managed to post pictures from my AMAZING trip to New York! In my last post I think I  mentioned that I couldn't figure out how to put the photos from the camera onto the computer. Well... I gave up after about 20 minutes so I asked my dad and it took him literally a minute (so if your reading this THANNK YOUU!!).
So then, let's begin!...

The trip was organised by my school and I think we had a group of 24 pupils from my year who went. We visited literally EVERYTHING!! As it was ran by the 'Art Department', we visited loads of art galleries and museums (OMG, museums are actually one of my favourite places to be!!) such as the Metropolitan Museum, and MOMA (which is the Museum of Modern Art)!!
