Hey all,

Sorry for the long long absence, exams are finished and we have been making the most of our freedom! We just had the busiest but greatest week with our prom and joint 18th party! It has been very bittersweet saying 'goodbye' to friends of seven years before we are all off to university or gap years next year! It was a great night and we can't wait to share photos with you guys, we were in the best company we could of wished for :) We are starting to think about Beni which is in less than two weeks now- ekk so excited!!

How has everyone been enjoying the sun? Any avid World Cup or Wimbledon followers? I have been hooked on the football!

Loads of love,

Hey all,

So these photos were taken on a recent trip to the river when Jess and I did some last minute English revision for our A level exam (which was yesterday!). I have literally been a recluse for the past few weeks so it was nice to get a change of scenery and study out by the river! It was all very pastoral and countrylike ironically keeping to the theme of our Literature topic this year of the Pastoral. Looking forward to more sunny trips to the river (and beach) when all exams are over! :)

Lots of love, Paloma

Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now

Hey everyone,

 

Sorry for the slightly melancholic title, it was just too appropriate not to use. Its a lyric from my favourite Arctic Monkeys song, of whom we will both be seeing come Saturday at Finsbury Park (the thought of Alex Turner within reach is a little too much to handle), and also, today was our last of sixth form ever, and I definitely feel too young to be leaving my school and friends of seven years behind. On a less sad note we still have prom to look forward to after exams so we'll be seeing everyone again very soon :)

 

The sunny weather spell is not so sunny anymore but we are hoping it will brighten up again so we can take more summery outfit photos like this one!

 

Have a great week!

 

Loads of love,

Hi there!

Another apology for lack of posts, they seem to be getting quite regular :(

We've both been knuckling down to revise over the last month, but by the 16th of June, it'll be over for both of us, we cannot wait!

We've also been organising our joint 18th, although Paloma's Birthday in August, and mine was in April, we had to have a party together.

If you've read our blog for a little while, you'll be able to see that we love fancy dress and spend weeks in prep for our costumes. After much deliberating, we decided on a Fairytale theme, this includes Disney, Hans Christian Anderson tales and Grimm Brothers tales! It sounds like an 8th party not an 18th.

Today we took a break from revision to start getting our costumes together. Paloma is going as Esmerelda from The Hunchback of Notredame and I'm going as Thumbelina (the traditional character, not the disney, they ruined that for me)

What would you guys go as?

Lots of love, Jess xxx

Hey everyone,

Its nearly Friday, yay! Here is another outfit post from a usual day in Sixth form. This is definitely a comfy outfit of mine but I had a full day of art so can you blame me? I am not even sure that the jumper and skirt go together at all, so I apologise...

In other news Festival season is slowly approaching and lots of line ups are being announced. Jess and I are off to Benicassim in the summer with a group of friends and some of the acts have just been announced. So far we are looking forward to the 1975, Kodaline, Jake Bugg, Tame Impala and Lily Allen (I mean her songs are so catchy, I can't help it!)

Has anyone else thought about plans for summer?

Lots of love,

Paloma xxx

Hey all,

 

Ahh, today is a milestone for us, this is our two hundredth post on ...Cos it's The Bee's Knees. Which amounts to thousands of photos, lovely comments from you guys, awkward poses and general waffling from us two! It is also our two year blog birthday next month- can't promise we won't bake a cake. There is always an excuse for cake.

 

So these photos were taken on Oxford Street whilst out shopping yesterday; posing on the islands is becoming a bit of a pastime of ours. We had a gorgeous brunch at Bill's (officially the first brunch of my life and I am never looking back!) before braving some shops. It was so nice and made me realise my love of London again, I will miss it if I leave for university this year!

 

Loads of love, Paloma xxx

Hey guys!

 

The Christmas countdown has officially begun and what better time to kick start the festive posts on ...cos it's the bee's knees than today! Because-sorry to be cheesy- but Christmas time really is the bee's knees!

 

These are some photos taken on Friday when Jess and I made a spontaneous visit to Oxford Street for a teeny but of shopping, but more importantly, to make our first trip to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. I cannot describe just how excited we were whilst walking around the stalls and rides. Children on Christmas morning doesn't even do it justice!

 

If you are needing some festive spirit there is no better place to go. With the bright lights, sweets and waft of waffles and mulled wine, its Christmas in a park!

 

Loads of love, Paloma
