Sweet Freedom

Hi everybody! I was just hoping to make a casual post about what I've been up to lately. Exams just started for me today, so now I've got half of maths done with 10 more exams to go! Yesterday I also got my braces off which was VERY exciting albeit a bit nerve-wracking after two years of metallic teeth. I was really worried about how they'd look, and while they mightn't be perfect I'm growing to like them (:

I've been on study leave due to all the exams, and so haven't really been doing anything too exciting. I've been going to football training three times a week which I've actually really enjoyed; it's given me a break from studying! I admit I haven't been studying as hard as I probably should be, but I've got all my notes sorted so it's really just me doing past papers from now on til' my next THREE exams on the SAME day (examiners suck at planning, eh?) on Monday. Looking forward to it :/








My birthday was a week ago and I'm loving being 16! Nothing much has changed but it's such an iconic age for a teenager to be, what with some of the new benefits that come with the age. I got the exact camera (Canon Powershot S100) which I posted a couple of weeks ago which was really cool (it's a REALLY good quality digital camera with lots of fun effects, I recommend it!). I also ordered a necklace (on the right) similar to the one I posted before as well, which is somewhere in the world on it's way. I'm super excited to get it in the mail, and I plan on wearing it with this amazing dress one of my closest friends, Maya, got for my birthday, which I'll wear to my brother's Graduation at the end of May. For my birthday, I also got lots of Topshop gift cards (like $300 worth, yay!), some perfume, some tops, money and some jewelry.







Lastly, I've got everything sorted for my grade 10 formal in June! I'm wearing a long blue dress from a shop in Sydney called Seduce, a pair of sparkly silver and black heels from Aldo, the coolest silver and blue clutch ever from a boutique in Singapore and a silver cuff from Topshop. There's braiding in my dress and on my clutch, so I'm probably going to braid the top of my hair and leave the rest out in waves, with some smoky eyes and a toned down lip. I'M SO EXCITED!

If anyone's been bothered to read this I hope you've enjoyed finding out a little bit about how I've been! (:
