Tryin' to find a diamond in an avalanche

Hey all,

So these photos were taken on a recent trip to the river when Jess and I did some last minute English revision for our A level exam (which was yesterday!). I have literally been a recluse for the past few weeks so it was nice to get a change of scenery and study out by the river! It was all very pastoral and countrylike ironically keeping to the theme of our Literature topic this year of the Pastoral. Looking forward to more sunny trips to the river (and beach) when all exams are over! :)

Lots of love, Paloma

Hey guys!
 
The Christmas countdown has officially begun and what better time to kick start the festive posts on ...cos it's the bee's knees than today! Because-sorry to be cheesy- but Christmas time really is the bee's knees!
 
These are some photos taken on Friday when Jess and I made a spontaneous visit to Oxford Street for a teeny but of shopping, but more importantly, to make our first trip to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. I cannot describe just how excited we were whilst walking around the stalls and rides. Children on Christmas morning doesn't even do it justice!
 
If you are needing some festive spirit there is no better place to go. With the bright lights, sweets and waft of waffles and mulled wine, its Christmas in a park!
 
Loads of love, Paloma

Hey!!

I hope everyone is good!

So guys it's official, two weeks in sunny Spain can work miracles, me, the palest person has tan lines :o And although the sea and sun seem a million miles away- now I'm back in rainy London- I am so excited to be back blogging! Jess has just got back from Cornwall too, and we went to collect our AS results today (which were good by the way!) so it's go, go, go! We have lots of exciting posts lined up as well as holiday ootds- which contain backdrops far prettier than the usual brick wall, exciting!

Here are some photos from Jess's first day in Cornwall and my second day in Marbella where I went with my family to stay with friends. It was so gorgeous there, and despite being boiling hot, it's somewhere I would visit again and again. Spain has to be one of my favourite places on Earth! Jess will be telling you about what she got up to in the next post... (hint: sun and surfing are involved!)

If any of you were picking up exam results today we hope they went well!

Loads of love, Paloma xxx

But it was not your fault but mine, and it was your heart on the line

Hey!

A medley of photos to describe one of my days in Barcelona last week! We went to the best restaurant in town which only serves fresh fish and seafood. Its a bit like a market in that you have to queue up and have your ingredients weighed before they go and cook it for you, which adds to the whole atmosphere! Definitely one of my favourite places to eat ever, and it gets very busy very quickly, people just can't get enough of it!

Also I left you guys with two photos of the cutest dog in town, my auntie and uncle's dachshund, Dora, she is such a cutie, I miss her!

Loads of love,

Hey everyone!

This is my second post about my time in Barcelona- it flew by! On the night that I arrived it was the festival of San Joan. It was literally the craziest fiesta I have been to- and I have been to a fair share- People throw bangers and fireworks on the streets to warn away evil spirits. It was literally manic little kids setting off fireworks left right and centre, but pretty hilarious! All I can say is it put our 5th November fireworks in the garden to shame!

Explaining doesn't quite do it justice, a visit to Barcelona on 24th June is highly recommended!

Its Friday tomorrow what are everyone's plans for the weekend?! Anyone watching Wimbledon? (that was a silly question!)

Hola amigos!

I am back from a week work experience with my auntie in Barcelona! It was fab, working in her skincare company- Alex Carro, I even got to make a few products which was an absolute treat! It was also a chance to practise my Spanish skills (cringe!) I go to Spain almost every year being half Spanish and all and it is literally my favourite place on earth! Shops close for lunch (food is taken very seriously there) and the night only really gets going at ten! Food and late nights galore its my kind of place!

These photos were taken on the weekend I arrived when we took a trip to the Picasso museum, which is set in a beautiful old building- like most of the buildings in Barcelona. If anyone is planning a trip to Barcelona it is definitely worth a visit if only for an hour or so! Being an art student maybe I am biased, but still...

The weather was amazing- although the locals were convinced it was a bit cold- I pretty sure I have become immune to cold weather after so many years in Britain! I was able to shoot a couple more outfit photos, we can finally get some summery outfits up on the blog, sorry it took so long, English weather is very unreliable!!

Loads of love,
