And in her colours, I find my faith.

Hey guys!
So we're back blogging! We've been on vacation in EspaƱa for the last 2 weeks, spending a week in the beautiful Barcelona, being total tourists, taking photos of every single building we saw and drinking too much sangria. For our last week in Spain, we went to Benicassim Festival with a group of our friends which was THE best fun ever! Music, sea, sun, best friends around you...what could be better. We don't want to bore you with the deers but if any of you are interested in some pics of our time in spain, leave a comment below :)

My fave act from the whole of Beni was Paolo Nutini of course, followed by Kasabian, who seriously rocked it! Highly recommend both.

Anyway, here are the outfits we wore to our good friend's birthday barbecue...unintentionally matching florals.

Talk soon :)

Hey all!
 
Long time no speak, I'm back from America! I had the most amazing ten days there which I will never forget (I'm hoping to fit in a post of what I got up to!) I am missing everyone I met there like crazy, jet lag has taken over and the portions here suddenly look really small BUT its still good to be back!

I finally got to meet up with Jess- two weeks apart is too long! We went to Brick Lane for a trip to vintage shops and the market. We found some gorgeous old postcards for sale in a cute antique shop in Algate East. We spent a good hour (a little embarrassing...) reading all of the old inscriptions and love notes scribbled on the back. I wish people still wrote letters, you really can't beat the feeling of receiving a surprise parcel at your door!
 
Loads of love, Paloma xxx

She changes the weather in my world, feels like it's never getting cold....

♫ She Changes The Weather - Swim Deep ♫

Hey guys!!
Here is a quick post from when we went to Portobello Market, as you can see, it was about a week ago as nowadays, the weather has converted back to winter again. Don't we love the Great British weather!
As a lot of you know, Paloma and I LOVE shopping and have an addiction to pushing through rails and finding bargins....especially when they're vintage :)
This time, we decided to go for comfortable yet on trend looks with a toile (china) print and a polka dot flippy chiffon dress. Turquoise and blues is our fave summer colour due to both of our eyes being blue, it makes them stand out!

What are your predictions for summer?
Loads of love, Jess xxx

Hey all,

On saturday me and Jess visited a gorgeous local vintage fair, and although we didn't come away with anything, we had such a great time and the stall owners were all super friendly and chatty. We then went for some tea and cake at the Maids of Honour in Kew, which was absolutely gorgeous, before spending the rest of the day revising for our English lit exam in May... although we only ended up spending a couple of hours doing proper work opps!


Hope everyone had a great Easter, and don't forget to bake our cupcakes, cos they are great all year round!

Lots of Love, Paloma xxx

And I've waited just so long, to sing you this final song


Hey Everyone!

The days are getting lighter and it's defintely starting to feel like spring. Time is going very fast at the moment and already me and Jess are beginning to look at possible universities for next September- scary stuff! it definitely feels too soon! Here are some pictures of our outfits when we met up for tea on saturday, I am wearing my new Topshop Joni Jeans, which I guess are their take on (and the slightly cheaper version of) American Apparel's Easy Jean. Ever since I put them on I have not wanted to take them off, they are so comfy and I can't work out whether they are flattering or not, but nethertheless I love them and can almost guarentee they will be making many more appearences on little blog. Jess is wearing her supercool Packers vintage jumper that we picked up in Hackney last year and an equally good buy from Portebello, the yellow satchel bag.

Review- The Tea Box, Richmond







Being the caffine lovers that we are, me and Jess are always in search of the perfect cuppa and we are determined to sample the best tea London has to offer. We decided to visit the Teabox, a quant tea room in Richmond, London, which isn't too far from the centre if you are thinking about giving it a try! It has the most gorgeous crockery and an impressively thick and varied menu with every kind of tea possibly imaginable, I mean, have you ever heard of 'dragoneye' tea? no neither had we! Unfortunately for us they also had an amazing selection of cakes and pasteries, which we couldn't eat (having both given up sweet stuff for Easter- crazy I know!)

Jess, being a lot more adventurous than me opted for a 'flowering' tea- something neither of us had ever tried before, it was delicous and as a bonus pretty to look at too! The decor was really unique and warm,with the bill even being presented in a minature teasure chest!- cute, right?

Lots of love, Paloma xxx
