And in her colours, I find my faith.

♫ Looking for Something - Paolo Nutini ♫

Hey guys!
So we're back blogging! We've been on vacation in EspaƱa for the last 2 weeks, spending a week in the beautiful Barcelona, being total tourists, taking photos of every single building we saw and drinking too much sangria. For our last week in Spain, we went to Benicassim Festival with a group of our friends which was THE best fun ever! Music, sea, sun, best friends around you...what could be better. We don't want to bore you with the deers but if any of you are interested in some pics of our time in spain, leave a comment below :)

My fave act from the whole of Beni was Paolo Nutini of course, followed by Kasabian, who seriously rocked it! Highly recommend both.

Anyway, here are the outfits we wore to our good friend's birthday barbecue...unintentionally matching florals.

Talk soon :)

Go down to the sea, and tell me what it is that you wanna be...

Hey all!
So, i'm finally on the last of my holiday snaps! This was pre-surf in Cornwall when it was the perfect day to grab some waves due to extreme wind which didn't pair well with my outfit choice of a kimono...oh well, at least it looked good :)

Also, here are a few disposable photos from Reading Festival which I had developed. These are the 'tame' pics where i'm alive enough to be able to look at a camera lens :) I had the most amazing time with the most amazing bunch of people and i'm already missing it terribly! Although Reading was a week ago, i'm still feeling really rough and haven't quite recovered from sleep deprivation. 
Anyone considering Reading Festival next year, DO IT!!! It's so much fun and the line up is always amazing! Alt J, Dog is Dead, Spector, Chase and Status, Skrillex, Tribes, Frightened Rabbit, Swim Deep, The 1975, and of course Bastille... wow the list is endless!!! 

Speak soon lovelies, Jess xxx

Hey all,
 
Sorry for the mixed up post, taking you all the way from the beach to not so sunny London! With Jess having the time of her life at reading this weekend (definitely no bitterness here...) I am chief blog writer for a couple of days! So here is a little outfit post for you guys! Jess's pictures were taken on her surfing holiday in Cornwall a couple of weeks back- how tanned is she?! Its not fair!! My outfit is from a little trip to London with my sister. Living in London is something which I probably take for granted and I never really get round to doing all the touristy bits, so, it was really nice exploring the gorgeous capital- which let me say looks even more beautiful when the sun is shining!
 
Loads of love,

DIY Aztec Nail Art Tutorial...


Me again :)
While the cat's away, the mouse will play right? I can't help myself, Paloma's away in the lush New York, so I have decided to take some time out of my 'busy' schedule to have a bit of pampering and do my nails...Aztec Style!!!

I've been wanting to try this out for SO long, and considering i'm actually quite impatient when it comes to nail art, i wasn't looking forward to the outcome. Surprisingly it's very therapeutic and is quite easy and fun, once you get into the swing of it!

This one is really for all you festival-goers. This weekend Lovebox and Latitude are taking place, and my sister, the lucky bitch, got her hands on some free guest pass Latitude tickets! I'm crazy jealous, and she's going to see our babies...the Maccabees :'(
Even if you're not off to a fest this year, these nails are perfect for the summer weather, so give them a try, they're easier than you think!

(email your nail pics to pomandjess@gmail.com and i'll post them in the next post)
 Loads of love, Jess xxx



So...Gather together essentials - Choose any two bold colours (that compliment eachother) i've chosen OPI - Nail Lacquer in 'A Roll in the Hague' and Nails-Topshop in 'Green Room'. 
You'll need a black and a white nail art pen. I have a black fine tip pen from Topshop and a white felt tip from BarryM. You could use a brush dipped in nail varnish - but you'll have to be super accurate!
Finally a base and top coat - i've used Champneys double-up coat.
 1) Apply your base coat to all nails
2) Put stripes of colour, using your nail varnishes, on your nails, alternating from horizontal to vertical on each nail. Don't worry about being messy...you can fix that later :)
 DRY

3) Take your white nail art pen and draw lines over your nails, over the join of the stripes drawn previously... and more!



 4) Take your black pen and carry on drawing lines over your nails, mostly on the joins. When that's done, be creative! Draw some dots, triangles, squiggles etc. in between the lines.
DRY
5) Top coat and tidy up with nail varnish remover and a cotton bud et voila! Funky aztec nails in no time!

Hey guys :) It's starting to look like spring!! (wow, it took it's time). We are both so excited about the Easter holidays which start TOMORROW, although we'll have sooo much revision to do, we'll still make time for some lovely springtime posts from our days out...hopefully no black tights :)
 
Yesterday, we took part in the Poetry Festival in our school, as we are the poet laureates, it was a lovely evening filled with some fantastic literature. Here is a quick lil post of what we wore :)
 
Loads of Love, Jess xxx
