Hey all,

We went to Bastille's gig in Brixton on Wednesday and it was amazing. Dan was so good live and so were the support acts (Clean Bandit and Rag and Bone Man). We have Everything Everything this week so we are super excited. Verdict, there is definitely nothing better than good live music!

Loads of love,

Hey all,

Here is a little sixth form outfit post taken on Thursday! Thursday is fitness time (hence the converse and dread on our faces!) Only kidding of course, its actually pretty fun when you put your mind to it. We have also both cut down on sugar which has lead to cravings galore! We will keep you posted on how it's going!

Its Breast Cancer awareness month, so we are going to be taking part in the Great Pink Bake off on Friday, and we would be so happy if some of you guys did too! All it takes is a little bit of baking and a whole lot of selling to raise money for such a good cause!

Loads of love,
Paloma xx

Hey guys!

This is the quickest post ever! So, sorry for the delay in posts, been under serious amounts of stress with  school work and university applications, that I literally haven't had a second to spare. Also, spoiler alert,  yesterday, we took part in Cafod's Big Share, which is a kind of nation-wide bake sale, which resulted in me baking two king-sized coffee cakes and Paloma baking the most perfect macaroons - i'm so impressed! Post will be on the blog super-soon :)

Here is what we wore on a cold October day, even though the fluctuations in weather are driving me crazy! Coat...to wear or not to wear, that is the question.
Love you loads, Jess xxx

 Hey all you gorgeous followers,
Sorry about the lil delay in posts, i've been loaded with work, the perks of taking essay-based subjects, right?! But without further a do, here is a quick post of what we were both wearing yesterday. For any of you that live or lucky enough to be visiting the UK, you'll know that the weather doesn't know if its hot or cold, so dressing for the weather is so difficult.

We decided to have a go at taking really summery staple pieces and pairing them with trusty opaque tights and boots, of course!

You might think that we should be happy that it's not constantly freezing, but to be honest, the change in temperature has made everyone in our Sixth Form super-ill and Paloma and I especially have horrific colds, so excuse the boring plain outfit posts for a while :)
Love you all, Jess xxx

I'm running low on know how, with this beat I made for two

The 1975- Heart Out
 Shirt- River Island, Skirt- M&S, Boots- H&M

Jacket- F&F, Trainers- Converse, Skirt and Top- New Look

Hey everyone!

Here with yet another outfit post, we can't get enough of autumn trends at the moment, and although it's sad putting away our summer wardrobes, this season means chunky knits, light coats and beautiful autumnal colours, mustard and burgundy have to be my faves!

Two albums that I cannot stop listening to at the moment are the newbies by The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys, perfect get-me-ups and well worth a listen!

Loads of love,

Paloma xxx

Hey all!

Just a mini post today showing yet more outfits, don't worry we'll get some more baking up on here soon! Great British Bake off continues to make me hungry every Tuesday- did you see those Biscuit towers?! Yes please! In other news, me and Jess are off to see Haim on Saturday for the iTunes festival so we are mega excited! Call me crazy but me and my two sisters may sometimes dance around pretending to be them, hmm that is kind of embarrassing...

Has anyone got any good gigs lined up?

Loads of love, Paloma xxx

I am wearing - Boots - Primark, Skirt + Jumper - H&M, Blouse - Bershka, Tights- M&S, Jacket - F&F
Paloma is wearing - Dress - H&M, Cardigan - TK Maxx, Belt - Accessorize, Wedges - Deichmann, Tights - M&S.

Hello our gorgeous readers, 
Here is a quick lil post of the outfits which we wore to Sixth Form today. We took a lil break from the LFW trends to go for out own looks and wear clothes which we felt fit the season and mood which we were in :)

Is anyone following LFW? We certainly are, through following numerous designers and brands on Instagram (cositsthebeesknees if any of you want to follow) and keep getting posts from the amazing, weird and wonderful catwalks making Paloma and I uber-jealous of everone in the frow.

Also, we have been recently been planning our sixth form prom, looking a gorgeous venues, photobooths, photographers, catering and of course our own dresses. We never thought it would be this stressful to be Heads of Sixth Form, luckily our prom is all the way in July 2014, so we have a little while to discuss maxi or fit and flare and smokey eye or statement lip, believe us, these decisions could take months!
Loads of love, Jess xxx

Damn the summer flowers, they took what once was ours

Hey all!

So as the title says 'damn summer flowers', its all about dark, wintery florals, so out with the cute summery prints and in with the new autumn look. With the new season upon us me and Jess are trying to channel as many trends as possible, so here are is our second helping of Autumn looks, this time,-dark florals! In the colder months it can be hard not to turn to trusty old black, but dark prints add a bit of brightness to grey mornings so its definitely a trend to try!


Because I love to taunt myself with beautiful clothes that I can't afford I decided to I chose my favourite winter floral pieces from Topshop, I have had my eye on the midi and crop combo for a while now!

Loads of love, Paloma xxx

It started all in early September, when my god given little became a lot older...

Models - Mulberry, Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, Saint Laurent
Trousers - Urban Outfitters, Satchel - ASOS Cambridge Satchel Co., Dress + Skirt +Suit - Topshop, Scrunchies - Urban Outfitters.
 Paloma is wearing - Scarf- Vintage, Wedges- Deichmann, Skirt -H&M, Top - Primark, Belt - Accessorize.
I am wearing - Blouse- H&M, Blazer - Primark, Trousers - Primark, Wedges - Deichmann, Lipstick- Topshop
 I think you've all guessed the theme of this post right. So, Tartan is a HUMUNGOUS trend this AW13. Whether it's with a punky vibe pairing it with a leather jacket and biker boots, or going for a cutesy schoolgirl look, any type of check is bang on trend!
All you have to do is look at the catwalks to see what a huge tartan has had on the fashion industry this season. Mulberry, Prada, Celine...the list is literally endless!
Due to this, I decided to grab a pair of smart tartan trousers for sixth form, as today it was our first day back. I wasn't very keen on the bright red tartan, so i went for a more subtle green and navy check. Whereas Paloma has brought back her trusty vintage tartan scarf to add an edge to her look.
If I have one tip for you it would be to 'get some tartan in your life!'
Loads of love, Jess xxxx

When I hear a melody calling, is your melody calling?

Cami- River Island, Jeans- Topshop, Belt- M&S, Wedges- Primark, Bag- Forever 21


Hey all!

First and foremost sorry for the extremely picture heavy post, but its for a very worthy cause so I hope we're forgiven! On Wednesday me and Jess were invited to Breakthrough Breast cancer's showroom event. Breast cancer effects many women (and men!) all over the world, but with new technologies and treatments constantly being discovered everyday we are a step closer beating it. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so throughout this time we'll be showing ways to fundraise and a range of amazing products that you can buy!

With brands such as GHD, Avon, M&S and Pineapple all having created special 'Pink' products, what better time to buy? And if pink is not your colour don't fear M&S have created a gorgeous range of sleepwear and underwear with not a bit of pink in sight. Going shopping and doing your bit? ... do I need to do any more persuading?!
