I haven't been blogging  much recently. At least not over here on my blogger blog. I've been spending a lot of my time over on tumblr getting inspired. As I mentioned in a previous post, I've been on a bit of a health kick and I can see marked improvement in both my physical and mental health. I have to say, it's tough getting up at the crack of dawn to jog a few kilometers (I'm up to 8 now) when you could just carry on sleeping the morning away but the way my thinking about myself has improved has been worth it. Speaking of tumblr, there are crazy inspirational stories out there where people have shed tons of weight in a year by 'skipping the dessert bar' and 'pounding the pavement'. It's great to think you can achieve that goal, whatever it may be, if you work for it.

I hope all the pictures I share below inspire you too.










What's your goal this year?

Well isn't this post overdue! I thought I'd do one now so we can catch up. It's been a busy couple of months and I can't believe it's flown by so fast. I'm thinking of doing this as a series so look out for more of these posts in future!

So it's that time of year again! Yup, we're moving on to the next year! I have to say 2013 was good (and bad) in so many ways but overall I had a great year! I started this blog, turned 21 and learned so much about about myself and the person I want to be. I'm looking forward to all the fun in the next year...so see you in 2014!

This weekend my family and I went away inland to my gran's place. I got to spend time with my cousins and laugh at the silly things that happen when family gets together. There was plenty of good food, my sister's friends even stopped by and at the end of it all I'm exhausted (but only in a good way). On the way there I took some snaps (I couldn't resist, especially when my sister took the scenic route up and we were stuck briefly in traffic) together with some more pics as the weekend unfolded. Have a look see:

Being away from the blog for any length of time always makes me feel bad. I love putting  up regular posts but to be real sometimes life gets in the way! I have been focussing on the fashion side of the blog recently but beauty will always be something I love to dabble in too and with that being said it's on to the good news! The news is this: There will be beauty reviews! I have picked up a few beauty buys recently and will be reviewing them with abandon in the weeks to come. Please bear with me as exams are on the way and that may intervene with regular programming. I also have more exciting news which I will share soon on the beauty front (look out for that!) Life has been busy at law school with tests, the fallout from said tests, stress and all the good things that remind  you you're a law student (just in case you forgot). 

Here's some of what I've uploaded on Instagram lately! Follow me @girlinthestripedtee for regular updates.

To The Fellow Lover of Fashion,

Every day is a chance to play with looks and materials, a chance to mix and match prints and colours, try on and discard skirts and shirts and show the world a different side of yourself through the clothes you wear. Fashion is fun and growing in your personal style is even better. I'm Teeks, the Girl In The Striped Tee, and this is my personal style and beauty blog. It's nothing fancy, just the journey of a young South African girl finding her fashion feet. Enjoy!

Yours In Style
