Let the sun burn my eyes, let it burn my back, at the beach in my dreams....

♫ King of the Beach - Wavves ♫

Morning guys :)

Here are a few pics of the second day of our weekend away to Worthing. As you can see the weather was pretty shitty therefore i doubt we can call this an outfit post...due to the ridiculously attractive rain jackets we're sporting. 

Nevertheless, we made the most of a horrific day, seeking refuge in  cafe and chugging english breakfast tea and scoffing Red Velvet and Chocolate fudge cake. After we'd consoled ourselves with numerous cups of tea, the sun actually came out! Such an amazing end to the day, where the sun got to our heads and we had a miniature rave on the sandy beach!

At the end of our relaxing and spontaneous trip to the seaside we were sad to leave the beautiful seaside views, the fresh air... and of course the arcade which we were becoming addicted to :)

We really recommend you check out worthing, come rain or shine!

Loads of love, Jess xxx

 

 

You stood out like a sore thumb, the most beautiful sore thumb I'd ever seen

 Hey all,

 

Last week was half-term so with our exams finished me and Jess could enjoy a little break, which was the best time I have had in ages. We took a very spontaneous trip to the seaside (so random in fact that we thought of it on the day, packed our bags and left!) We went to the seaside town of Worthing which was so gorgeous, it was such a beautiful day which called for walks on the beach, paddling in the water and of course fish and chips (but in our case just chips!)

 

Having fallen in love with Brighton a couple of months ago, Worthing did not disappoint and could easily compete with Brighton, the beach runs for miles, the people are so lovely but what clinched it for us has to be the bumper cars! I haven't been on dodgems since I was about 6 and I have to say despite making us look like complete idiots squashed into tiny cars it was so much fun! We felt like little kids again, and there's nothing wrong with that right?!

 

I debated whether to keep the video in, but I thought why not, it will make you laugh if anything at how stupid we look!

 

Lots of love, Paloma  xxx

 

 

The Company Style Blogger Awards Goodie Bag - Reviews

Hey you lovely lot :)

As a lot of you know (anyone who reads our blog) we recently went to the Company Style Blogger Awards 2013 and had the most amazing time! Other than meeting such an amazing range of people such as photographers, companies and editors..yes Victoria from Company!, a perk of being invited was the goodie bag. So...here is what I got!

Hair Goodies...

1) Vogetti Wide-tooth comb - This comb means no tangles - perfect when paired with Yuko's Leave-In Conditioner (4)

2) Batiste Paisley Dry Shampoo- This is my personal life-saver! I unfortunately have pretty bad greasy hair and without my trusty dry shampoo - I would be looking like Danny Zuko from Grease...Not a good look! Just spritz your hair with Batiste's dry-shampoo voila...you're Sandy after all :)

3) Ultimate Wave cream gel - Paul Mitchell - Cream-Gels are an effortless way for you to get that tousled, roughed up look. Just curl your hair (I like to plait it the night before) and rub in Paul Mitchell's Gel and you're ready for any festival!

4) Yuko Anti-Frizz, Leave-In Conditioner - Out of this entire goodie bag I have used this the most. Oh my goodness, the smell..it's beautiful quite fruity and floral at the same time. Apply it to damp - towel dried hair, comb through, blow dry or curl and you're hair will be as silky as...well...silk!

Beauty Goodies...

1) Betty False Eyelashes - The Vintage Cosmetic Company - The Vintge Cosmetic Company is my new favourite make-up products brand. I have already popped online to check out their brushes, eyelash curlers and makeup scissors. But I won't be needing any eyelashes anytime soon, as these bad boys are re-usable. Betty is my fave style due to their little flick at the end.

2) OPI Nail Laquer in 'A Roll in the Hague' - This was a twist of fate...I needed a bright orange nail varnish and have been looking for one all over the place. I must admit I don't normally buy OPI (more of a Barry M girl myself) due to it's heavy price-tag but this colour, although peculiarly named, is amazing and give me perfectly polished points for summer :)

3) The Vintage Cosmetic Company - Nail File - Vintage inspired file for on the go splits or touch ups.

4) Soap and Glory Lip Stick in 'Super Nude' - This smells amazing! Almost vanillary :) I received 'super nude' which is so lucky because i've been meaning to get one to wear with my heavier eye makeup looks. This lippy has a moisturising technique in it which left my lips feeling ridiculously smooth!

Skincare Products...

1) Elemis Skin Glow Exfoliating Face Wash - This is my new fave brand of all time! I was previously a 'Witch Skincare' girl due to it's natural extracts but i have been converted by Elemis which uses plant extracts, are completely against animal testing and don't use any nasty chemicals like parabens. The jojoba beads feel gentle on your skin but leave it feeling fresh and clean...and so clear!

2) Lauren's Way - Self Tanning Bronzing Mousse-  Now, i'm not a fan of fake tan. Yes, I can sometimes look a tad orange, but that's just my ever-changing skin tone. This is a light self tanner which has to be applied with a mitt and a little goes a long way.. trust me. I'm not quite converted but I did enjoy the glow after all of the hard work.

Yummy Stuff... 

 Bits and Bobs...

1) New Look Stacking Rings - A little souvenir I gave to my sister.

2) Glitzy and Glam Stud Earrings - I kept these for myself...they match the nail varnish, I couldn't give them away!

3) New Craft Society - Vintage Brooch

4) Pinned it Made it Voucher - Attend party for free +1 - SO EXCITED!!! Paloma and I have been invited to a party on June 18th to make some more sunnies. The ladies at Pinned It Made it were lush and the nicest people to possibly meet when you're feeling socially awkward at an event like this!

5) Pinned It Made It DIY Sunglasses - Future posts...I think so :)

OUT TOMORROW!! You must buy it, summer body tips and how to become a successful blogger. Not to mention the amazing fashion pages and interviews which I read on the journey back, couldn't resist :)

Please tell me what you think of reviews of beauty posts :) 

Loads of Love, Jess xxx

Worldwide Wardrobe

Hey everyone,

 

We thought we would have a go at entering Travel Supermarket's competition, Worldwide Wardrobe, reason being we love creating outfits so much and if there is a chance of winning a holiday we don't need any more convincing!

 

We created four outfits, hope you enjoy!

 

Lots of love, Paloma and Jess xxx

 

Sightseeing in Paris- £186.57

 

We wanted to channel Parisian chic through this outfit, clean cut and classic, starting with a canvas of blue and white, and accessorising with complimenting bright red accessories and statement lip and necklace

Jeans Shoes Bag Earrings Necklace Nails Hat Shirt

 

Shopping in London- £192

 

Shopping can be so tiring so we wanted to create a light and comfy outfit whilst also hitting some of the season's key trends. This gorgeous floral printed playsuit is the perfect solution and will get you through the hustle and bustle of oxford street whilst also proving useful in the windy and unpredictable British weather! Plus flat edgy boots for all that walking!

 

Earrings Sunnies Playsuit Shoes Bag    

Partying in Ibiza- £186.47

This outfit is all about the neon, because there is no better time to kick out the brights than a party! The pops of pink and yellow add further fun to the outfit and the small bag is perfect for a girl's essentials. Also, wedges over heels, they still give you the height but are so much more comfy, and you can dance the night away!

Top Skirt Shoes Bracelets Bag Lips

Cocktails in New York- £94.49

Monochrome has to be the most classic and stylish of all this season's trends so what better way to wear this trend than cocktails in New York! This gorgeous 1950s inspired dress with flirty lashes and white accessories is a killer combo for cocktails in the city!

Hey everyone,

 

Sorry that this post has been a long time coming! On Wednesday we went to Company Magazine's Style Blogger awards 2013. We had been shortlisted for Best Teen blog thanks to our amazing readers and followers, and were ecstatic just to be considered alongside so many of our favourite bloggers.

 

We couldn't have imagined a better evening, although we didn't win it didn't matter in the slightest! We met so many people and chatted to some of our favourite bloggers, who couldn't have been any nicer even if they tried! Everyone was so friendly and the whole event was something we will remember for a long long time!

 

Just as we thought that the evening couldn't get any better there was a number of different activities scattered around the beautiful venue of Truman's brewery. Our favourite had to be the Pinned it, made it stand. The team were so lovely and explained the idea behind their company, which is all about actually creating ideas that you see on pinterest! They treated us to a sneak peak at their next party, DIY sunglasses. I went a little bit OTT on mine but it was so much fun!

 

We had such a great night and want to thank Company and New Look for putting on such a great event!

 

Lots of love, Paloma and Jess xxx
