about a squirrel

Squirrels and toadstools and deer- oh my! 
I bought this charming dress a while back after falling absolutely head-over-heels for the woodland print and peter pan collar. It was only a plus that it was from Leona Edminston's line for kids, Little Leona, and was a whole lot cheaper than what you would pay for adult's Leona Edminston. I would completely wear everything in the line, with my love for ridiculous prints and all things childlike!

It is supposed to be Autumn here, but the weather is brighter and sunnier than it was for most of Summer. I paid a quick trip to the beach a few days ago, and it just consolidated the fact that I am not a beach person, no matter how hard I try. After five minutes in the water I got swept of my feet by a massive wave, dragged into shore and finally picked up off the sand by a kindly old gentlemen wearing Speedos. I think I'll stick to admiring the crashing waves from afar.

PS: My gorgeous friend Tiarna just started a blog. She's a ballerina with an amazing sense of style and I know you will all love her as much as I do! You can check out her Tumblr here as well.

In between school starting up again, just coming home from America and my busy catching-up-with-people schedule lately, I thought it was a good idea necessary that I take a break from my blogging life. Life is still quite busy (I have taken on extension English and Maths) so I'm not sure ow frequent my posts will be. There are just those times I sit down and realise that I am indeed only fourteen, I do have to go to school almost everyday and my family is not a group of photographers paid to capture my every outfit. Whew. Glad I got that off my chest.
With all this time not spent on my own blog I worked up all this inspiration from other places (such as A Pair & a Spare and Style Bubble) and decided to put together this wonderfully clashing outfit. I did indeed make these shorts myself and finally worked up the courage to wear them after being told they were "the most hideous pair of shorts ever" by a boy in my grade. I have kind of grown accustomed to wearing boy-repellent things anyways (harem pants, high-waisted everything, excessive amounts of floral). Forever alone!
Wearing: Breton-stripe shirt made by my mother, shorts made by me, Vans brogues.
