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

Ice Ice Baby...

Hey Guys! First off, sorry for the picture heavy post! They literally go on for ages, but we wanted to snap every aspect of our outfits. On Friday we were invited to our friends Anna and Hayley's 18th Fire and Ice themed party. As we are like two peas in a pod we both went as the same thing and inspired by Disney's Frozen, it was ice princesses all the way ;)

I won't ramble on too much about out night but we had an amazing time with some of the best people and of course loved dressing up head to toe in glitter (yes….glitter body spray) 

Lots of love, Jess

Hello lovelies,

sorry it's been a little while, we've both come down with the winter cold that everyone seems to be getting which has resulted in us taking numerous days off school to recover. We've also been trying to catch up on sleep after a little bit of a mad weekend in Bristol. On the weekend, Paloma and I trekked up to Bristol on a two and a half hour coach journey, as we were invited to her sisters 20th birthday. 

It was lovely to see both of our sisters, for those who don't know, our sisters are also best friends who are living together at uni this year, weird huh?! Well it was a weird and wonderful weekend, checking out the black friday sales with Paloma bagging a pair of gorgeous burgundy boots and me snapping up a leopard print fur coat - I literally look like a bear :)

Later on, Isabella (Paloma's sis) hosted a 'music title' themed fancy dress flat party. Paloma decided to go as Primal Scream's 'Country Girl' by pairing a cute little apron, wicker basket and little frilly socks to create a subtle costume. I decided to come as Oh Atoms!'s 'Sugar Mouse' with my hair in plaited buns, typical whisters, over the knee socks, white gloves and a string of candy canes, which were all gone by the evening.

Bristol is great this time of year as they have a really cute german market by Cabot Circus, it really gets you in the christmas spirit!

Happy Birthday Izzy :)

Loads of love, Jess xxx

Hey everyone,

Here are our outfits that we wore on Friday to our friend's 18th! We both wore dresses from Topshop (just a coinsedence we promise!) It was a really good evening but made us both feel so young (especially Paloma being an august baby!). It sparked a few ideas for our 18th. Yes, we're doing a joint party, believe me, it's expected amongst our friends! To fancy dress or not to fancy dress, that is the question. What do you all think!

Parties on the brain right now though, who's feeling festive already?! I am! I love christmas, everyone is always chirpier, the christmassy baking, the constant smell of cinnamon and crisp cold air which turns your fingertips into icicles. This has got Paloma and I thinking about hosting a Christmas party, of course...fancy dress-up! Turn my lil house into a winter wonderland and bake til my hearts content with yule logs and mountains of mince pies! Oh god, i'm getting carried away aren't I ... oops, we've still got November to get through first :)

Speak to you all soon my loves, Jess xxx

Halloween, in the dead of the night, hear me scream...

♫ Halloween - Aqua ♫

Hello you gorgeous ghouls! 

Ok, so Halloween was on Thursday, but it's never too late to share a little bit of out lives with you, right! So, we were invited to our friend Susan's house for a Halloween party, this meant dressing up to the max and finding matching costume ideas! Pretty soon after brainstorming, we settled on good and bad fallen angels, yes we made the costumes, wings and all!

What did you all dress up as?

Check out the pics below if you want to see what all of our lot dressed up as and our arty pumpkins...we do love Halloween!

Anyway, halfterm is over now, as is my NYT Shakespeare course which was the best week ever, and its back to school for us, meaning more frequent posts, yay!

Speak soon my lil devils, Jess xxx
