I tried to do handstands for you, but everytime I fell on you...

Hey Everyone, we recently decided to do a shoot of an outfit inspired by the Olympic games, as we both have a serious case of olympic fever. We are all so proud of Team GB, gold medals galore!

This jacket is from a giveaway that i won from the amazing MOD FOX.
I really love the Airtex material as it makes the jacket fit in so well with the current trends.

My Outfit- Jacket- Collection B, Top-Primark, Trousers- M&S, Shoes- F&F@Tesco, Bag- M&S.

Loads of Love, Jess xxx

Statement Tees- DIY and Best Picks :)


Hey Everyone!
Hope the week has started off well! Wow, it is so hot! Just as summer seemed to be deserting us and I was getting ready for some autumn trends, summer is back again- yay! Because I definitely feel that my dresses have not had enough wear this summer!

This is our first ever DIY on the blog, but we are definitely planning to do some more (haha hopeing that my GCSE textiles might come in handy!) and we would love some feedback on it :)

Statement Tees, they never go out of fashion and can be a perfect way to express a mood or favourite band/ lyrics! So we decided to make some of our own, fpr under £5, way chesper that any avaible on the highstreet, and with your own personalised message :)


1) Buy some fabric pens- we recommend these from Tiger- only £2, bargain!
2) Buy a plain top of any colour, Primark is always good, you can grab one for £2-£4


3) To make it easier, put your t-shirt around a tray, so that the material is easy to write on- with no folds 
4) Once you have an idea, get drawing! I decided to chose lyrics from Fill my Little World, by my favorite band, The Feeling


5) I did mine freestyle, but you can mark it out using a pencil first


6) Add any finishing touches, Jess's t-shirt with a bee, 'Cos its the Bees Knees' :)
7) Jess's finished T-shirt 'Surf, jam, live in a Van'

 
Hope you enjoying our first DIY, its a really simple one but effective and really fun to do!!  :)


Our finished T-shirts :)




and to finish off.. some of our favourites on the highstreet :)

 1) Love London Top- Topshop- £40
2) MTV top- River Island- £20
3) Maccabees Top-The Maccabees store- £18
4) Bellissimo Top- River Island- £25
5) Free T-shirt- Republic- £15

"Sun is shinin' in the sky, there ain't no cloud in sight"


The Feeling
Scouting For Girls

Jess's olympic nails :)
 
Union Jack :)



Hey Everyone!
Nooo, the Olympics are over:( But its been great!!  Being in London, you couldn't get away from it and we made the most of Olympic fever, by heading to BT London live a number of times (which hosts free music gigs at Hyde Park!) The atmoshphere was great and everyone was so patriotic :)

These are some pictures of the first two days that we went to Hyde Park and the outfits that we wore. On the first day we went to see Scouting for Girls- who were amazing. By the end of the night none of us could talk after screaming out the words to all their songs. The next day I could hardly contain my excitement, The Feeling were playing at Hyde Park! The Feeling have always been my favourite band, and although other bands come and go, they always remain my all time favoutites! Haha I'm such a fan girl- I even made a banner :) They were amazing as well, my favourite song had to be Rosé (ahaha for all us bloggers, if you don't know the song, you might recognise it from the Burberry frangence advert ;)) 

Big hugs! Paloma xx

Come along for the ride, cola bottles and a sherbet rocket.

Oh Atoms - Sugar Mouse  


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

I wish that this World was finer, and I want an Ocean liner

'Helicopter'- The Feeling

Hey everyone!
These are some photos from our second last day at Cornwall. In the morning, we went to the beach :) We then decided to take a bus into the city of Truro, the journey down to the bus stop was an adventure in itself, what we were told was a two minute walk, ended up being a 30 minute hike, down near- empty streets and country lanes, but it was really nice taking in the scenery!

We finally managed to get the bus to the city, which was beautiful with it's cobbled streets and cathedral, it aslo had a Topshop (which is always a bonus! :)) In the evening, we went for a Pub meal which was soo nice! Being near the sea, they had loads of fish options which was really handy for me, being a newly converted pescatarian (nearly four months now, yay!)

Hope everyone is enjoying the week and the Olympics (Wow, some of the male swimmers, Ryan Lotche ;))
