But it was not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line

Hey!

A medley of photos to describe one of my days in Barcelona last week! We went to the best restaurant in town which only serves fresh fish and seafood. Its a bit like a market in that you have to queue up and have your ingredients weighed before they go and cook it for you, which adds to the whole atmosphere! Definitely one of my favourite places to eat ever, and it gets very busy very quickly, people just can't get enough of it!

Also I left you guys with two photos of the cutest dog in town, my auntie and uncle's dachshund, Dora, she is such a cutie, I miss her!

Loads of love,

Hey everyone!

This is my second post about my time in Barcelona- it flew by! On the night that I arrived it was the festival of San Joan. It was literally the craziest fiesta I have been to- and I have been to a fair share- People throw bangers and fireworks on the streets to warn away evil spirits. It was literally manic little kids setting off fireworks left right and centre, but pretty hilarious! All I can say is it put our 5th November fireworks in the garden to shame!

Explaining doesn't quite do it justice, a visit to Barcelona on 24th June is highly recommended!

Its Friday tomorrow what are everyone's plans for the weekend?! Anyone watching Wimbledon? (that was a silly question!)

I walk through the fog and kiss her through the fence

Hola amigos!

I am back from a week work experience with my auntie in Barcelona! It was fab, working in her skincare company- Alex Carro, I even got to make a few products which was an absolute treat! It was also a chance to practise my Spanish skills (cringe!) I go to Spain almost every year being half Spanish and all and it is literally my favourite place on earth! Shops close for lunch (food is taken very seriously there) and the night only really gets going at ten! Food and late nights galore its my kind of place!

These photos were taken on the weekend I arrived when we took a trip to the Picasso museum, which is set in a beautiful old building- like most of the buildings in Barcelona. If anyone is planning a trip to Barcelona it is definitely worth a visit if only for an hour or so! Being an art student maybe I am biased, but still...

The weather was amazing- although the locals were convinced it was a bit cold- I pretty sure I have become immune to cold weather after so many years in Britain! I was able to shoot a couple more outfit photos, we can finally get some summery outfits up on the blog, sorry it took so long, English weather is very unreliable!!

Loads of love,

It's time to change your empty life, you gotta pick yourself up with your half-filled cup...


Me again!
So, Paloma's away in the lush city of Barcelona enjoying the rays of sun, while i'm sat at home in dreary London sniffling, eating ice cream and watching films because yes...I have a summer cold :( For those of you who don't live in the UK, this is a tradition every year as us Brits aren't used to the sudden change in weather, not that you'd believe it looking out the window!

Yesterday Paloma interrupted my New Girl slot on a Tuesday evening with a Skype call whilst snuggled up in bed, in my pyjamas and a cuppa, which made me feel so much better! She filled me in on all of the fiestas, amazing food, gorgeous spaniards and a sprinkling of work experience. Yesterday she went off to a house warming party and baked a batch of her famous red velvet cupcakes, a post up soon :)

Here is a really random post...REALLY mismatched but i'm ill so forgive me :) So, recently Paloma and I have been fundraising for our sixth form common room's redecoration as we are the new heads of sixth form. This entailed baking numerous batches of cookies, cupcakes and tray-bakes. As you can see from the pics below, Paloma and I had just been out for a run (I KNOW, WE ARE ACTUALLY DOING EXERCISE!), but Paloma (you can tell she's the smart one) brought a change of clothes. But tbh I quite like my new joggers - courtesy of Forever 21 - I highly recommend them!

What do you guys think about putting up some 'summer body' themed posts - i.e exercise regimes, healthy snacks and eating posts, like once a month??

Love you all, the 'very ill' Jess xxx

Cause I've been around two times and found that you're the only thing I need



 

 
 
Hey all!
 
So this will be the last post I will write until next weekend as I am off on work experience in Barcelona for a week with my auntie which I am so so excited about! Jess will be taking care of the blog for a week or so, so you are in good hands!
 
Sadly for us the weather is still a bit all over the place here so evenings are often spent with a tea and TV. Is anyone watching The Returned? Its a French thriller drama that they are showing on channel 4 at the moment and it is so good! We are both hooked
 
Have a fab rest of the week,
Loads of love, Paloma xxx

Don't call it a fight, when you know it's a war...

The City - The 1975

Hello there my lovelies :)
How are we all? Paloma and I are goood and Paloma especially because she's off to Barcelona on the weekend! I'm so jealous and am considering hiding in her suitcase. A whole week without my best mate (we are inseparable) seems like ages and i'm not looking forward to finding things to do :/

One positive thing is that i can help her pack...outfit planning packing party :)
Anyone got any plans for summer??

Loads of love, Jess xxx
