You torched a Saab like a pile of leaves, i'd gone to find some better wheels...

♪Diane Young - Vampire Weekend♪
 
Hey you spring chickens!
 
Here is a quick little post just to show the essence of what we did on the weekend :) Yet again...We had tea, it's becoming a bit of an obsession...at least 5 cups a day, Green tea, Detox tea, Camomile tea, English breakfast tea....The list goes on. Instead of heading out to a lovely tea room in the middle of no where, Paloma and I got out the my tea set which is frequently used, and drank tea till our hearts content. The whole purpose of the caffeine addiction was due to the lovely Maddie throwing a party the night before and Paloma and I being completely shattered, nevertheless, we had a great time.
 
For some reason, due to it being out English lit exam in May, we decided to do an English revision day... keeping in mind we were practically falling asleep in our homemade lemon drizzle cake. As you can imagine, it wasn't very productive...but we had a great time revising in the park in the very rare English sunshine!
 
Loads of love, Jess xxxx

“In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars.”


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!
