You were better than whatever came before

After Glow- Foals

Hey all!

A teeny outfit post today, the last of my photos from Spain- I miss the holidays already!

Dress- Primark, Belt- H&M, Shoes- Spain

Recently I've been...

Giving Ayla a few too many treats (yes hamster doughnuts do exist!)

Making the most of time with the family

Baking a huge amount of cupcakes

 

Pointlessly wishing for Prom dresses I can never have (no, you will never be able to afford Elle Saab!)

Giving my room a little makeover!

What have you been up to lately?!

Loads of love, Paloma xxx

Gotta check the forecast, throw away my skateboard...

Hey my lovelies :)

Oh my gosh! It's sunny, like actually hot, summery, sun! This calls for celebration, so stay checking the blog for summer fiestas and barbeques...and lots and lots of Pimms!

So, Paloma is leaving me again, I know, she's just got back, but tomorrow she's hopping on a flight to New York all alone (BRAVE) , courtesy of the 'Young Leaders Award'. Basically Paloma is just so perfect, ridiculously smart  and also creative and a 'credit to the school', she has been chosen to attend a business trip to meet lots of lovely new people from all over the world. So, expect some fancy workwear posts ft. the famous yellow taxis :) I'm gonna miss her stupidly!

The blog is going to be bursting at the striped borders with posts this summer. I'm off to Rome this year with my sister for a girly holiday. I've been to Rome before when I was 7 but I genuinely can't remember any of it so i'm basically going to a completely new place and i'm ridiculously excited.

Paloma is wearing - Dress (worn as skirt) - Primark, Top - Zara, Shoes - Primark

I am wearing - Sunglasses - Primark, Crop - New Look, Dungaree Dress - Topshop, Shoes - Topshop

 Also, i've just bought my Reading Festival ticket - I know I left it a bit late, but I couldn't bear seeing so much money leaving my bank account. Unfortunately Paloma can't come so i'll be scanning in my photos from my disposable camera and showing you what I get up to. I'm so excited to see Alt - J, Bastille, The 1975, Haim, Peace, Swim Deep, Spashh, Wavves, Fidlar, Spector, Twin Atlantic, Palma Violets, Imagine Dragons, Deap Vally, Tame Impala....aaargh so many more! 

Anyway, back to Earth, here is a quick lil post of our outfits on Paloma's last day of Sixth Form, I have a week left :( It almost seems like a blast from the past, beachy drawing prints and bright primary colours, and of course a trusty dungaree dress! I grabbed this one in the Topshop sale, originally £38, I got it for £10 ! Bargain queen right here :)

Have you got any plans for summer?? Come along and say hi at Reading if you see me :)

Love you all, Jess xxx

She'll never look the same way, there's another change in her, and we both knew this time...

 Hey my lovelies  :)

How are we all? Here is a quick little post - in a revision break, of what we wore to a play that I was in yesterday. It was called 45 minutes and was performed in Greenwich Theatre which was large and quite daunting! Luckily, Paloma and my family came to watch to put me at ease, although front-row-seated-Paloma became quite a distraction with her beaming smile almost leading to me corpsing my character :)

Nevertheless, it went really well and I am really going to miss the rehersals and the cast, but now...time for exams :(

Love you loads, Jess xxxx

 Paloma is wearing - Top and Pumps - Primark, Jeans - Leigh MOTO Topshop, Sunnies - TK Max, Belt- accessorize.

I am wearing - Blouse - Topshop, Pumps - New Look, Belt - Dorothy Perkins, Skirt - Miss Selfridge

Changed my socks like I changed the letters, girls with three syllable names, are often so easy to shame...

Hey guys!

So how are we all? Happy 1st official day of summer! Thank goodness it was such a lush day or i would be in an awful mood as summer brings so many exciting things...mainly finishing our AS exams which are very tedious and taking an awfully long time. Next week is Paloma and My language speaking exams...so that's going to be fun (HELP).

Are any of you doing any exams soon? If you are good luck, but if you could spare a moment to vote for us for the Company Blogger Awards we'd be so grateful, we REALLY want this!

So...moving on, here's a quick lil post of what we wore in the summer sun (i can finally say that). Paloma's cheeky 60's mini skirt was paired with black tights which will soon be making an exit from Paloma's wardrobe. I went for a vintage 50's style look with a polka dot dress and braved bare legs! and accessorised with many red bits and bobs..its quite nautical actually :)

Loads of Love, Jess

Hey all,

YAY! The amazing weather has continued, there has never been a better incentive to go and revise, when you can sit outside and study in the sun, and with the thought of summer and holidays cheekily starting to creep out of the back of my mind, where it has been forced to stay after months of snow and rain things are looking bright!! Thanks to everyone who has already voted for us in the company blog awards we love you all, and to get shortlisted means so much to us! Hope everyone has a fab friday tomorrow and a lovely weekend! Some more acts are getting announced for Reading Festival today, maybe time to get myslef a ticket? (the Maccabees pretty pretty please...)

Loads of love, Paloma xxx

PS. We have made the shortlist! Please vote for us for 'Best Teen Blog' in the Company Blog Awards 2013, here, thanks!!

Hey all you lovely people :)

Here are a few pictures of how we spent our last day in cornwall. We went to a beautiful town called St Ives. It was right on the coast and although it wasn't too sunny, it didn't rain either :)

We spent the whole day there, looking at shops (mostly the sweet shops, selling lots of Cornish Fudge in all different flavours) eating cornish pasties and ice-creams (mine was strawberry cheesecake, with a scoop of clotted cream and a fudge twist. It was delish, but i felt sick after a while :S

To top it all off, we saw a seal, it came right up to the pier and smiled for all the cameras. We called him/her flubber :)

 Paloma's outfit- Cardigan - Primark, Top- Thrifted, Jeans- River Island, Shoes- River Island, Bag- Topshop.

My Outfit - Top- Miss Prodigy, Shorts- Vintage (Baleno Blue), Cardigan- F&F, Shoes- Converse, Belt- River Island, Nail Varnish- Topshop.

Love You All, Jess xxxxx
