“In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.”


Studying the Great Gatsby for English lit this year has caused me to have a slight obession with anything 1920s, and with the film version of the novel out next year (cue flapper dresses, embellishment and a whole lot of Leornando De Capprio- ekk!). I am loving the 1920s-esque items that are in the high street at the moment, and whether it be a dress or earrings these Gatsby goodies are perfect for the glitzy party festive season.
I have chosen my favourite 1920s inspired picks from the high street, enjoy! Including a number of Forever 21 accessories, if you havn't yet checked out their amazing jewllery range, do, it is impossible not to come away empty handed! :)

Lots of love, Paloma xxx

P.S For anyone who hasn't read 'The Great Gatsby', you really have to, it is amazing!

I got my heart tied up now with a boom and a bang


Metronomy- Corinne

Hey everyone!

Me and Jess went to Wagamamas last Friday for a catch-up, this term has been pretty busy! I managed to eat all my noodles, with chopsticks! (quite a big achievement for me) plus, was too embarrased to ask for a fork! We also tried the Christmas lattes at Costa (our favourite place!), Jess had the salted caramel, and me the creme brulee latte, soo yummy and very festive. Too early to be talking christmas- probably- but as you can tell I am very excited! What about you guys?

Lots of Love, Paloma xxx

Hey everyone!
 
Hope that everyone had a good halloween, what did people dress up as? This weeks twist on the trend went all gothic, as we attempted to style the 'vampy' trend which is very big for winter. I have never styled the gothic look before, and didn't really have much in my wardrobe to suit it, because it is a bit of my comfort zone, but it was really fun styling the trend! I loved in particular wearing a darker shade of lippy than I normally would to fit in the trend, and will definitely be sporting 'oxblood' lips again this winter! Hope you enjoy the other girl's twists on the trend, be sure to read more over on their blogs!
 
Lots of love, Paloma xxx

Hey everyone!

Here are some pictures of a trip that we went on to Brighton on Monday, it was a fantastic day, I have wanted to go to Brighton for so long so it was so nice to finally go and see the famous seaside town. It was definitely worth the wait, the town itself is really gorgeous, with cobbled streets and so many old fashioned sweet shops, its a sweet lovers dream (aka me!). When in Brighton, eat fish and chips- and we sure did, they were soo good! A word of warning, the seagulls there are crazy, literally, and they can smell chips from a mile away, so be prepared for some ducking and a little but of running too, its all part of the Brighton experience! :)

How has everyones week been? Any plans for Halloween?

Lots of love, Paloma xxx
