Unleash your inner animal.

Last week Wednesday we had a grade bonding evening with the prefects! It was a lot of fun despite majority of the grade not pitching up... The theme was "Unleash your inner animal". I didn't have many animalistic clothing so I unleashed my inner guinea fowl in the form of my earrings. What a cool cat, I know (more like cool guinea fowl). We played various games and one of my favourites were where we put into groups of about six and given characters and we had to make plays/sketches out of them. We had an elephant, drunk pilot, teacher, druggie, taxi driver and my character had a broken leg. My group won best play/sketch thing (not that I'm bragging or anything). Here are a few photos a few of my Facebook friends posted (I didn't bring my camera, so these photos aren't my own).

Notice my animal earrings.  

The group.

The play. 

Have a stylish weekend, happy Friday y'all!

Quack Quack.

So for a few years now, I have had this thing where I wanted a duck as a pet. Odd, I know. Alas we don't live on a farm so it wasn't really going to work out. However, we have had a pair of duck doorstoppers in our house for a while and they recently found a home in my room. You can imagine I was mad excited about that and they even look pretty life-like (one of my friends thought they were real like I would have real ducks in my room, how crazy do you think I am?)

Here they are, Barney and Betty:

Have a stylish Monday, y'all!

Sunday Songs.

There is literally thee cutest French song which I was introduced to last week and I couldn't not share it with you. It's called Comme des enfants by Cœur de pirate and the lyrics are so sweet. So here's the video with the french lyrics and its corresponding english translation below just to brighten up your Sunday.

French

English

Alors tu vois, comme tout se mêle Et du cœur à tes lèvres, je deviens un casse-tête Ton rire me crie, de te lâcher Avant de perdre prise, et d’abandonner Car je ne t’en demanderai jamais autant Déjà que tu me traites, comme un grand enfant Nous n’avons plus rien à risquer À part nos vies qu’on laisse de coté Et il m’aime encore, et moi je t’aime un peu plus fort Mais il m’aime encore, et moi je t’aime un peu plus fort C’en est assez de ces dédoublements C’est plus dure à faire, qu’autrement Car sans rire c’est plus facile de rêver À ce qu’on ne pourra, jamais plus toucher On se prend la main, comme des enfants Le bonheur aux lèvres, un peu naïvement Et on marche ensemble, d’un pas décidé Alors que nos têtes nous crient de tout arrêter Il m’aime encore, et toi tu m’aimes un peu plus fort Mais il m’aime encore, et moi je t’aime un peu plus fort Et malgré ça, il m’aime encore, et moi je t’aime un peu plus fort Mais il m’aime encore, et moi je t’aime un peu plus fort MUSICAL INTERLUDE Encore, et moi je t’aime un peu plus fort Mais il m’aime encore, et moi je t’aime pas plus fort Malgré ça il m’aime encore, et moi je t’aime un plus fort Mais il m’aime encore, et moi je t’aime un peu plus fort REPEATS

So you see as everything gets mixed up From your heart to your lips, I become a headache (problem) Your laugh defies me to let you go Before losing hold and abandoning Because I would never ask you for that much You already treat me like a big child And we have nothing left to lose Except our lives, which we have set aside And he still loves me, and me I love you a little more But he still loves me, and me I love you a little more That’s enough of this splitting in halves It’s harder to do, otherwise Because without laughter it’s easier to dream Of what we can never again touch We take each others hands, like children The happiness on our lips, a bit naively And we walk together with a determined step While our heads yell at us to stop everything He still loves me, and you love me a little more But he still loves me, and me I love you a little more And despite this, he still loves me, and me I love you a little more But he still loves me, and me I love you a little more INTERLUDE MUSICALE Again, me I love you a little more But he still loves me, and me I love you a little more Despite this, he still loves me, and me I love you a little more But he still loves me, and me I love you a little more But he still loves me, and me I love you a little more RÉPÉTER

C'est très mignon, n'est pas?

The Sick Diaries.

I've been sick for the passed two days. How joyous, I know. There are some perks to staying at home and missing school.

1. You miss school (i.e. I get to wake up a tad later)
2. You can watch TV.
3. You can watch series and movies on your laptop. 
4. Catch up on some blog reading. 

Le not so perks of being a sick flower (AKA the reality of being sick at home):

1. You have to catch up all the school work you missed.
2. Daytime television sucks. 
3. You quickly realise you've watched most episodes of your series or that most series don't premiere until next week. 
4. Your eyes hurt (from being sick and tired) so you can't spend that much time on your laptop anyway. 

Yesterday I spent a good part of the day sleeping and changing between warm and cool clothes because your body can't decide if it's feeling hot or cold. FUN. I also spent a lot of time sneezing (seriously, like most of last night I couldn't stop) so in light of that I found some funny sneezing-related pics on pintrest. 

Yes I looked like the maniac in the second pic. Imagine doing that repeatedly for like a good five seconds.

Too cute I know.

Hopefully I'll be well enough to return to school on Monday, if not it will be another day of sneezing, itchiness and lacklustre daytime television. Cry me a river, I know. Hope you have a superb weekend if you're sick as well - just snuggle up with a pot of tea/coffee/hot choccie and watch all those movies that you keep telling yourself "you have to see" (maybe even The Perks of Being a Wallflower, lolsies) at least that's what I'm going to do. Stay stylish!

Golden Globes 2013.

I just love awards season in Hollywood. The fashion during this time is amazing. My favourite thing to do is to watch E!'s live on the red carpet (sometimes even more than the actual awards show...shh).
Last night was the 70th annual Golden Globes and there weren't that many outfits that disappointed me this year. I thought I'd share with you my favourites from last night - I haven't yet watched the actual show, which only airs here in South Africa at 8.30pm tonight. So without further ado..

I'm not sure what exactly makes me love what Amy Poehler (one of the night's hosts) wore so much. Maybe because it was quite cheeky that she was not wearing a shirt underneath. Regardless this Stella McCartney suit and her gorgeous necklace looked great on her.

Anne Hathaway was wearing something from Chanel Couture's 2009 collection. With her new haircut and minimal accessorizes, it made the whole outfit all the more stunning on her. 

Can we just take a moment to digest the fact that Claire Danes gave birth about 3 weeks ago. Okay moment over - she looked really effortless and beautiful in this Atelier Versace red silk gown.

One of the reasons that I loved Kate Hudson's Alexander McQueen gown is because it was one of the more sensible gowns (despite the plunging neckline) in that apparently chilly weather. I think that the statement neck piece and plunging neckline made the outfit and the belt-like feature just above her waist brought together the whole dress. 

Last but not least was Taylor Swift. I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised when I saw her walk the red carpet. She looked amazing in this Donna Karen Atelier gown with an open back. The eggplant colour isn't my favourite, however, it does look good on her. 

So that's my favourite five from last night's Golden Globes. What do you think? 

Amy Poehler, Anne Hathaway, Claire Danes, Kate Hudson, Taylor Swift front & Taylor Swift back
