Hey Guys!

So we haven't been up to much recently, which explains the lack of posts, we've both been hermits revising. Paloma's got an exam on Monday, she'll do great, but keep your fingers crossed for her :) we've both got our english exams on the 6th which HAVE to go well, my mind is entirely quotations right now.

We did you something quite exciting, you could say… we went to see Arctic Monkeys play at Finsbury Park with some of our true faves, Royal Blood, Miles Kane and Tame Impala. It was officially the best gig ever, we were right at the front! Felt as if we were in touching distance of Alex Turner. There were so many mosh pits, which we love and the best music to accompany some of our mad dancing.

I couldn't recommend seeing all of these guys highly enough, they're all incredible live and really work the audience…even if it is to the extent that I get a black eye, at least its a memory :P

Speak to you all soon!

Dress and Bag- Forever 21 (new), Shoes- Spain, Sunnies- Primark

So, this song, must of played every single time that we got into the car during the holiday! Not exactly the sound of the summer (i.e. something you want to dance the night away too) but still, a cute song! I brought this dress on a crazy shopping spree in Forever 21 in America- everything is so much cheaper there and I couldn't resist this dress (oh and the bag too- opps!) We went for a walk and breakfast in a beautiful old town near Marbella, it was gorgeous! And by breakfast, I mean pastries and café con leche- perfect!

Loads of love, Paloma xxx

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

Hey all!

Hope everyone is having a fab day! These photos were taken on a sunny day in sixth form, everything always looks so pretty in the spring! Our winter wardrobe is steadily being replaced by lighter and floatier fabrics. Jess continued the spring them with her super cute skirt complete with a gorgeous bunny print and tied bow waist. I added a touch of spring loving to my outfit through my cute daisy earrings which were a recent buy from River Island for only £2!

Hope everyone is enjoying the long spring days!

In other news, the Company blog awards are approaching fast and I am in search for the perfect pair of nude shoes to wear for the big event! I have always craved a pair of nude heels but have never taken the plunge to buy them, so here are my top three picks from the high street! I am really meant to be saving for summer but plan to snap up the gorgeous Asos pair (left) before I talk myself out of it (an apology in advance to my bank account!)

Loads of love, Paloma xxx

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!
