We just wanted to let our readers know that we have started a new venture and are now blogging over at Duology Blog and we would love if you guys could join us there! You have been the best readers over the past few years and it would be amazing if you continued our blogging journey with us :)

Here is a little taste of what to expect from our first post-

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!

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,

Hey all!!

What a beautiful weekend it's been, well in the UK anyway :) We've both been pretty much housebound due to revision, which always kills the mood, but we still both get out into the garden to attempt to catch some rays.

It's our last week of school this week, which bring some form of joy, but also so much sadness as we will both miss it so much, oh yeah and means that exams are too close now. We both turned up to school in again accidentally coordinating outfits. I am loving the bohemian/hippy/festival look at the moment and have bagged myself numerous pairs of comfy harem pants to wear at Benicassim this year.  We styled the harem style trousers, these are both fairly smart and tapered as harems go, with crop tops. This would probably be the only rule, don't wear a severely oversized tshirt with these trousers or it will probably swamp you.

Anyway, we're both really excited for the last day as it's a tradition that the whole year dresses up in their old school uniform, to reminisce over the good old days. Also, we're both so terrible at procrastinating and always end up looking at prom hair and make up tutorials on Youtube, have you guys got any good ideas???

Speak to you soon, Jess xxx

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

And we lie drunkenly just staring at the stars...

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the delay in posts, we've both been ill recently so haven't had a chance to take any snaps. Also, i'm in rehearsals for my drama A2 practical examination which is on Thursday, therefore have been roaming around in my trackies a lot, which doesn't blog too well.

The sun came out again today, which was a lovely change from chilly and humid weather. We both got our dresses out again, Paloma's teamed with a leather jacket - a smart move to layer when you live in London. I on the other hand went full on summer and dragged out the sunglasses which haven't seen a blog post yet - I love raiding my mum's wardrobe :)

Some exciting news for us, we have got the contract through for our prom! It's all sorted, now all we need is for everyone to pay up and start committing to it! We are both so excited to get dressed up, typical girls.

I hope you're all well,

Jess xxx

 P.S - We've been invited to lots of blogging events in the Easter hols, keep checking the blog for future posts.

The storm is breaking, windows shaking; so electrifying, oh i'm nearly flying...

 Hey Guys,

So Spring is here, sun is out and we're loving the spell of gorgeous weather… or so we thought. Today we both came into school thinking it was going to be yet another glorious day in London Town, we were wrong. Dressed in skimpy chiffon and jersey, thank goodness we decided to wear opaque tights, we were freezing as we had to battle with the elements dressed like it was summer!

It's a serious problem us girls have to deal with, to brave a dress or not to brave a dress, boys luckily don't have that dilemma. Fingers crossed the warm sunshine will be upon us very soon, we've started to miss it already.

All this talk of summer is getting Paloma and I really excited about our holiday this year. A load of us are of to Benicassim festival in Spain and during the little study breaks we have, we're browsing the internet looking for skimpy bikinis and shorts to brave the heat, especially when camping! Wish us luck

Love, Jess xxx

 Hey guys, 

So we've both been under a lot of stress recently, prom is finally coming together after an entire day frantically calling venues (with pancake intervals), coursework stresses and of course the social and work life balance. Does anyone have any de-stress tips? we definitely need some help :)

The only thing getting us through the pressure is the beautiful british blue skies. Finally the sun is poking through the clouds and we can see some rays…oops don't want to jinx it!

Have any of you got any days out planned in the sunshine? I'm off to Liverpool for my LIPA recall audition this weekend, so its highly possible that I might completely miss it :(

Happy Shrove Tuesday by the way! Pancakes are so easy and of course tasty, i've had 10 in total, i'm so gonna regret it, but they were lush while they lasted. Paloma and I had an early start today so for fuel for a busy day we flipped some pancakes to some 80's tunes, perfect wake-up routine.

Love, Jess xxx
