Hey my lovelies :)

'Wow, the weather is so nice' ... is what I was saying yesterday. Well unfortunately we're back to damp old England with only an occasional peek of sun through the full grey clouds which covered the rare blue sky.

As on a Wednesday,  Paloma and I have a hour free of lessons, we always like to grab a coffee and get on with some hard core revision.

Today was slightly different as we were practising our 'Head of Sixth Form' speech as we both applied as a duo, typical us!! We'll tell you how it goes :)

Here's a quick post of our outfits, I wore a peplum with cute kahki shoes and Paloma wore a black a-line skirt which is perfect for this unpredictable weather.

Hey all! 

Happy bank holiday to everyone, a barbeque is definitely on the cards today! Here is a little baking post as I felt we hadn't done one in a while- and today being a national holiday is the perfect excuse to get out your apron a make this tasty treat... you will not be disappointed!

Just a small note to say that me and Jess are having our AS exams in the coming weeks, we plan to schedule a few posts in because we really don't want to neglect the blog, so hopefully the blog won't have to be victim to our hetic and stressful exam schedules!! 

Loads of love, Paloma

Cherry Bakewell Cake

                                          

200g golden caster sugar

200g butter, well softened                         

100g ground almonds

100g self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp almond extract or essence

4 large eggs

1) Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4

2)Butter and line the bases of 2 x 20cm round sandwich tins with baking paper.

3) Beat together all the cake ingredients with a pinch of salt until smooth,

4)Spoon into the tins and level the tops.

5) Bake for 30 mins or until golden and springy.

6)Let the sponges cool

7) Then, spread with jam and sandwich on top

8)Being the chocoholic that I am, I decided to top my cake with melted chocolate rather than icing, its a great alternative if you are not an icing fanatic

9) Create a small 'piping bag' out of baking paper- basically a cone shape with a tiny bit of sellotape- and drizzle the chocolate according

10) Eat the remaining chocolate

11) Decorate with blanched or flaked almonds

12) Voila!! It makes a fab birthday cake as my little sister would happily tell you!

Laugh until we think we'd die, barefoot on a summer night, never could be sweeter than with you

Hey all of you beauties :)

How are we all enjoying the summer sun? isn't it lush! This is just a really really quick post as Paloma and I are both up to our eyeballs in work and revision for our AS level exams. Do any of you remember your exams? ...and more importantly, the procrastination and ridiculous amounts of stress that came with them.

Today, it was Paloma's first day of her art exam, which is of course very stressful for her, but she is literally and modern day blend of Gogh and Da Vinci...female version, so she'll be fine.

Also, we have GIGS to go to...Everything Everything, Bastille and The Feeling in October and The 1975 in January. Yes it feels like ages away but woohooo, we'll keep you posted :)

Love you loads, Jess xxx

Hey all,

 

So we are trying to post as often as possible as the dreaded exam season is coming up and sadly posts are likely to be a far and few between during this time so we wanted to make up for it by posting loads this week!

 

So, here are some outfits that we wore to a quiz night (we are such old biddies!) that one of our friends, Grace held to raise money for her trip to Kenya is the summer where she is helping to build a school. Haha me and Jess were in a team of just us two, so considering a lack of 'experience' we did quite well. The music intros round had to be my favourite- finally years of watching Never Mind the Buzzcocks came in handy- and I recognised Skyfall from the first note- wooo!!

 

It was great fun and a well earned break from revision... I officially cannot wait till summer

 

loads of love, Paloma xxx

 

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 everyone,

We were lucky enough to be invited to see the Feeling at an intimate gig in Hackney. The Feeling have been a favourite band of mine for years and the chance to see them perform new songs and to meet and chat to them so so surreal but amazing all the same! Me and Jess had orginally brought tickets to their tour in April, which was then moved to October so we get to see them twice in one year yay! The gig also brought us back to Hackney, a place that we are always keen to explore, but whenever Hackney is involved we ALWAYS seem to get lost, lost to the point where you actually start getting a bit panicky and stressed, and can be seen wandering the streets laughing nervously but we found the studio in the end and it was well worth all the initial confusion and panic. The weather here has been all over the place recently, so we both sported trans- seasonal looks, Jess wearing a long sleeved lace dress and me some wedges that havn't seen the light of day in about or year or so, oh how I love rediscovering old jems!

Loads of love, Paloma xxx
