The dress.

So I finally found THE perfect dress for the 2013 ball . It is absolutely perfect, I love it and it only costs $120 (NZD).

I was randomly on etsy the other day, browsing and I thought that I'd search 'ball dresses', and this beautiful green strapless dress popped up.






I think that it is absolutely gorgeous and cant wait to wear it to the ball in a few months :)

You can find it here.

Have an amazing day :)

I have had an awesome first few days back at school. Actually having a study period makes school life a lot easier and more relaxed, although I did have about four hours of homework last week.

On Saturday I went to Dunedin with a friend, to the butterfly house for the day. As you probably figured by the name of this blog I absolutely love butterflies ( and buzzy bees) so I too about a hundred pics.





This is the blue morpho butterfly, according to legends form South America the butterfly a sprite or fairy in disguise, while others claim that it is a messenger of their prayers to the Gods.

 But the Blue Morpho doesn't always represent light and positivity. Some see it as a an evil hypocrite , one myth claims that the morpho takes its enchanting shape in order to lure innocents into the forest, never to be seen again.

They are absolutely beautiful, and I would consider them my favorite.



This is a group of butterflies (various types) eating fruit and sponges soaked in sugar water.




Not sure what type of butterfly this is, but I was lucky enough to have one land on me !!





I had an awesome time. If you are in Dunedin I would highly recomend this. We also went go-carting which was fun, although I gained a bad habbit of going slow on straight bits of the track and speeding up for the corners.

All in all it was a great day, and I can't wait until I move up there (For university).

 

Have an amazing day :) 



 

So I am finally home from the SGHS year thirteen camp to Pounawea, we had an amazing time doing so much stuff, a lot of the activities were done in our house groups (batten,Gordon, Mansfield, McStay, Trail and Williams). These activities included;

Making rafts, even though my house (Mansfield) only got two barrels while all the others got three (We'll get extra points for being pioneers  guinea pigs)

Doing yoga and tai chi

Having a sand castle competition. The theme for this was 'NZ natives', but we were told that we could put a twist on it, so we made a Tui beer bottle.



This was our inspiration. For those of you who don't know, a Tui is a native New Zealand bird with a small amount of white feathers on their necks.They are black and sing absolutely beautifully.

 

This is how it turned out. We were all really proud until we came last because it wasn't a native animal.

 

We also made tiny rafts to float candles down a small river.

 

Mansfield also came second in making and presenting a skit, and we won the house chant comp.

All in all we had an amazing time, I find it hard to believe that this is our seventh year at high school, but we are definitely not the shy bunch of 11 year olds we were when we started.

 

 

Have a great day :)
