A Belated New Year!

A VERY belated Happy New Year Post!

Hope you all had a great one!

Olivia;

2012 has finished, 2013 has started wooo! Did everyone have a great New Year? We certainly did! 

Both of us went to separate parties and I got to see family I haven't seen for a while! Like my dads cousin that lives in Portsmouth. She also told me that when she was in college she took a course in fashion and produced her own fashion label! My dad's cousin and his boyfriend threw a great party! We danced for ages and he was even giving me jelly shots and mango sours and they were dee-sgusting! Yuk!

As my cousin had his x-box on with dance central playing, I knew better than to dress up in a dress and heels so I went for the easier option which included a pair of Black skinny jeans from topshop and a lace, sleeveless top from Henry Holland!

Beccy;

I went to my stinkin rich Auntie's house for her annual NYE Party and it was so much fun! A lot of my family and friends were there and we all had a great time :-) Most of the photos are pretty embarrasing so I'll just show you a few from the night! Lets just say we got a bit muddy and had a tad too much Red Bull!

Love you all!

December Days

Hi there!

           Forgot to post about this, we've both been really busy! 

The other day, I went round my very funny Nanna & Grandad's house with my little brother to have a cosy day in while it was raining outside. I don't think there is quite anything better, and it's a plus that they have the prettiest, nicest & tidiest house I've ever set foot in! 

Here's a few pictures from the day!

Miracle on 34th Street is definitely one of my fave Christmas movies!

I wore a Fuschia Primark Shirt, which was reduced to just £3, a sequined Dorothy Perkins collar, which I bought in last year's sales for £1! (Reduced from £12.50!) and my New Look High Waisted Jeans, £12.99. My rather festive socks were from a small shop in South Shields.

Hope you all had some nice December Days!

Ro Ho Ho!

 

Merry Christmas to all our readers out there! 

We both hope you had the most wonderful day ( we certainly did!). Here's a few pictures from my day, not including my mam and dad as those ones are rather embarrassing! I'll upload some more once I find them! Lets get fat :-)

Enjoy xo

Facetiming with my cousin Rachel, with our baby cousins Amelie and Archie and my last advent calendar :-( BOO

It Was Christmas Eve, Babe

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, I went to see Home Alone at the cinema with my dad and brother, which was SO FUN!

We went to the Metrocentre, which is a huge shopping centre where we lived, and I was lucky to get first dibs in the Topshop sale! Woohoo!

On Christmas Eve, we always go with our cousins to Christingle at the Church on the Hill, which is possibly the cutest Church ever! All the children recieve an orange ( which represents the world) four sticks with sweets on ( which represents the four seasons ) and a glowing candle in the middle ( which represents Jesus and the light he brought to the world). We sang our fave carols, and got front row seats too, being the VIPs we are!

Who doesn't love New Xmas PJS!?

I love the excitement on Christmas Eve, it never gets old! You can't forget to sprinkle your reindeer food out the front door though, Rudolph gets hungry too!

Here's a sneak peek extra video of Olivia and I jousting in Makro the other day. We also got paper-bombed by a 7 year old and found a unicorn called Jimmy. What a guy.

December

I found this somewhere on Tumblr, and I think it is really sweet.

If you've fallen out with anyone, or wanted to accomplish a goal by the end of the year, there's still 9 days left of 2012, so make the most of it! 

I've had one of the best years ever, and I hope you have too!

Merry December!

Christmas Wishes,

The Top 10 Things Needed For A Warm Winter!

Do you love Christmas as much as I do? Because it's by far my fave time of the year! I love the chilly weather nipping at your nose (and who could forget the snow!? It's not Christmas until everything's covered in snow!), everybody's homes decorated in elaborate flashing lights and Christmas trees on display in the front window. And of course, all the food that comes with it ;-) But I think my favorite part of Christmas is definitely Christmas Eve. The excitement you get from the moment you wake up on the 24th of December to the minute you fall asleep. I mean I'm 15 and I know I'm not the only one who gets excited! Me and my family have this tradition that we do ever year. We go to a restaurant and have a deliciously cooked meal, then we venture out to the flicks to see a film (my dad and brother are probably going to see the hobbit and me and my mam find that stuff waaaaaay too confusing so I think Nativity 2 is on the cards!), by this time it's pretty late so we drive back home, have a cup of tea and some crumpets, put on our new pajamas that 'Santa's Elves' have sent for us and go to bed. Does anyone else have traditions they do every year?

For the perfect Christmas here are my top ten things needed for a warm winter!Plenty of Decorations - Can't go wrong with a bit of lights and baubles!

1. Blankets! - Those really furry soft ones that are perfect for wrapping up in when you're watching a Christmas movie.

2. Christmas songs - Yeah, I know the same songs that are played every year do get a bit boring but it's not Christmas unless you have those cheesy tunes ringing out in the back ground.

3. HOT CHOCOLATE - You can't go wrong with a bit of chocolate... that's hot. Topped with whipped cream and marshmallows, p-e-r-f-e-c-t. It also goes great with the warm blankets and the Christmas movies.

4. Christmas Sweaters - I mean, how could you not possibly own a Christmas jumper? They're perfect for chucking on when it's cold and snowing outside and you're warm and toasty inside (with your hot chocolate and blankets of course!) Read Rebecca's post about ugly Christmas sweaters that actually aren't that, well...ugly.

5. Hat, Scarfs and Gloves - Can't go wrong with a matching set? Read my post about some of my favorite Winter accessories that will go perfect with any outfit!

6. CHRISTMAS MOVIES! - There's no joy in Christmas without the films to go with it? Some of my favorites definitely have to be: Elf, Polar Express and Nativity.

7. Fuzzy Socks - When December rolls around, the socks come out! Even if it's not Christmas, I still wear the socks... I live in England where it's basically winter all year so it's allowed.

8. Candles - Just going to come out with this... I'm a HUGE lover of candles like seriously. Especially Yankee Candle. It's just the assortment of scents that could literally make you melt. Vanilla, cinnamon, gingerbread, Frankincense and Mur (My mam had this candle yesterday it was so so so nice!)

9. Buying Presents - I absolutely love going out and shopping for friends and family! When they open the gift that you carefully wrapped with you're favorite paper you got them and just seeing their face light up is one of the best parts of Christmas. Sharing is caring guys!

Last but not least, Christmas Cheer! - Cheesy, I know but when every one is all happy and laughing and excited for Christmas it just makes me happy and even more excited! You know, having snow ball fights with your friends in the school field sliding all over the ice! Making gingerbread houses and just generally having the time of your life. Just let your hair down and have a great winter!

Have a Corny Christmas!

Have A Corny Christmas!

Many of you out there, yes, including the high-flying fashionistas, have a secret. 

Right in the very back of their designer-clad wardrobe, beneath the Blahniks and Balenciagas, lie the monstrosity that can only be known as

 THE CHRISTMAS JUMPER. 

  It can strike fear into the hearts of the fashion Scrooges, 
    who determine that they should only be worn in ultimate darkness, or on one of those 90's family Christmas cards. 

           Little do they know that retailers all across the world have constructed a plot...to destroy the hoo-ha about these bold sweaters, and create something that will put these 'Scrooges' to shame. Behold the 2012 gang of Christmas jumpers. 

Go get your HO HO on, girl.

LOT78 Jumper, £220, as seen on the fabulous Lauren Conrad!

 This one is my favourite, and is 3.1 Phillip Lim, for £416. Now, I'm not expecting you to go all out and pay the hefty price tag on this beauty, but you could always get inspiration from it and have a wack at DIY'ing one yourself!

                                                                                        Preen, £595

Chinti & Parker, £350

H&M, £24.99

Meadem Kirchoff, £945 (wowza!)

H&M, £19.99, & Topshop, £50 ( the one Olivia tried on last Saturday!)

And the corniest of the lot:

River Island, £38

This is a mens jumper, but it's just so deliciously cheesy, I HAD to put it in!

So take your pick, and wear your fabulous festive sweater with 

PRIDE!

Merry Christmas!

Love, R x.
