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

What I wore:
Our Christmas Tree!
WE R FAMILYYYYYY
We'll be doing our Christmas Present Haul the next time we get together so keep your eyes peeled!
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.
Hey guys, as you all know its Christmas eve here in England I just wanted to say that me and rebecca hope you all have a wonderful Christmas wherever you are in the world! I doubt any of us will be able to update roro as we will be both very busy but we promise to do a Christmas haul with our dear friend Katie!
Anyways, have a lovely Christmas and I hope you get everything you wanted haha!
So I've just looked at our blog and discovered it has over 1000 views ALREADY? Wow guys, we can't honestly thank you enough! It may not seem loads to those who have far more than us but me and Rebecca are new to the whole 'blogging' business and we are overjoyed that Ro Ro is actually doing pretty well :-) anyway, thank you so so so much! We love you all and have a great day! It's snowing where me and Rebecca live so we are extremely excited about that too :-)
Hey guys! Me and Rebecca are so sorry we haven't updated anything HUGE in a while but please bare with us! We had no time at all last weekend to do our photoshoot or do a video tutorial on a hair style (thank you very much for all your votes by the way!) As we've been super busy! On Saturday we were in town ALL DAY as mother and father were Christmas shopping (EXCITED!) and we had Rizzle Kicks in the night time and Sunday we played on Sims and singstar hahaha!
Anyway m'loves, we cross our hearts and hope to die that there will be big things coming up in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out :-) moving on, we would like to know what hairstyle you want us to do? Is there anything you're just struggling with and you need some help from your favorite bloggers in this history of blogger people? Please comment below exactly what you wanted us to do and maybe even give us a sneaky suggestion on what you would like to see next on Ro Ro?
Sorry for the rather late update as we've been rather busy, but on Saturday 1st December, we went to see... Rizzle Kicks! Apart from being squished within an inch of other so-called 'ravers' in the middle of a mosh-pit, and being covered in not the nicest of substances, it was one of the wildest, loudest and funniest concerts we've ever been to!
We had spent the first part of the day in Newcastle, dressing up in Topshop and going for a Chinese ( don't eat banana pancakes ) and Starbucks. We queued outside, being the dedicated fans we are, and managed to squeeze our way to the front of the stage, without being trampled on! Harley and Jordan looked as beautiful as ever, and played all of the songs from their album, plus some of their remixes, including their duet with Ed Sheeran! That made us HAPPY. Supporting them was Little Nikki, who used to be in UK band Soundgirl, who I seen when they supported Pixie Lott in 2010. She is now a solo singer/rapper and you should DEFINITELY check her out! She wore a bodycon skeleton dress, which is from Topshop for £50. Their other support act was upcoming rapper Mikill Pane (pronounced Michael...but we're gonna call him Mikill ). He is destined to be big, and was even drinking on stage! We got lucky and met him outside after the gig, and got his autograph on the back of our tickets! Wowza! We don't have any proper pictures of our outfits, but we do have our sassy pictures in Topshop :-)
Here's the videos (they most definitely aren't perfect!)
This one's not ours! Mikill Pane:
After the concert, we had a sleepover at Olivia's, and had cheesy nachos for our breakfast and went on Take That and High School Musical Sing Star. Righteous. We couldn't take any pictures because I had a Mikill Pane tattoo in the middle of my forehead. Not righteous.
Anyway, we hope you enjoy the videos and we'll talk to you later!
Alexa Chung, former British model, TV presenter and at just 29 years old she is definitely one of the UK's biggest fashion influences to this day!
Style Crush ♥
At the age of 16, she was scouted by a modelling agency while in the comedy tent at reading festival. Chung was then taken on by a London based agency called; Storm Model Management and began to work for multiple teen magazines such as Elle Girl and CosmoGIRL! Not only has she modeled she has also worked for companies such as Fanta, Urban Outfitters, Sony Ericsson, Sunsilk and Tampax and has featured in music videos produced by The Streets, Westlife, Delta Goodrem, Reuben and Holly Valance. She also stared as 'Jake' in a reality TV show broadcasted on Fashion TV called 'Shoot Me' in 2005.
After four years in the modeling world, she decided to go a different direction and set off with the intention of beginning an art foundation or becoming a fashion journalist (Just like me and Becky!) However, after becoming a TV personality, she returned back to her modeling days and became the face of Australian fashion label called Antipodium's SS 2008 collection and Oxfams ethical fashion range, Revamped. In 2009, Alexa strutted down the catwalk as part of the Vivienne Westwood Red Label Spring/Summer show at London Fashion Week.
Through a course of 3-5 years, Alexa has found herself becoming the face of many well known high street shops like New Look, Next, Lacoste and many more! She has also moved on to a new modeling agency; Select Model Management and taken part in London Fashion Week 2012 with Stella McCartney.
With her shoulder length brown waves and her famous winged liner, and not to mention her AMAZING fashion style, Alexa is one of my favorite people to get inspiration for a 'new' look.
She can put two of the most clashing items together and make it work. Plus many of her outfits are very 60's and unusual to today's eye which is one of the things I love about her! I mean, leopard print and stripes? I would never be so daring! Not only does she go for daring prints, she also goes for big statement jewelry like huge chunky necklaces and an array of coloured gem rings.
In many of her outfits, she never seems to wear heels but I think that's one of the things I love about her. She doesn't need 6 inch glittery heels to make her style 'look good'. She seems quite happy with a pair of oxfords or boots teamed with a thrilling outfit. (Seriously wish I could see her wardrobe, I'll be like a kid in a sweet shop!)
She also dated the magnificent and so god damn beautiful Arctic Monkey's front man, Alex Turner. Well jel!
Sorry we haven't been on as much lately, but we've both been SUPER busy! Anyway, on Saturday, us two and KT had a HUGE Harry Potter movie marathon, since KT has recently discovered a crazily obsessive obsession over it...
Who doesn't love Harry Potter though?
Even though we only got through the first two movies in 8 hours, it was still fun! We had a mud fight, went wandering the streets in our onesies and had a Happy Meal, woo!
Check out our horrendously cringy Accent Challenge below:
As you all know, us ( Becca & Olivia) and a couple of our friends ( KT & Hannah) went to see the almighty ginger sex god, Ed Sheeran! Honestly, hands on our heart, it was by far one of the BEST concerts we've ever been to! We were even 2nd row from the front! How good is that!?
He started off with his new hit single, 'Give Me Love' which is the last song to be produced from his debut album, +. He is absolutely amazing live and we are so glad we got to see him!
His set was a constant flow of beautiful melodies, many which sounded even BETTER live than on his EP's. He always had one of his four trusty guitars in tow, and was BEAT-BOXING ( once in a lifetime experience that is, mind). His support acts were Passenger ( our main man Mike ) and Foy Advance, who were both incredibly talented and surprisingly unsigned. You should definitely check them out! My ( Becca ) favourite song of the night was most definitely one of his most popular hits ' You Need Me, I Don't Need You', which lasted a WHOPPING 12 minutes! And he didn't go a note out of tune, even when he was jumping on top of the speakers right next to us ( swoon..) !
He even asked the audience to be remotely quiet for a couple of songs by saying "If you love me, you'll be quiet.", which made Olivia practically melt! This ensued a few "WE LOVE YOU ED!" shrieks (who, us...) but it was such an amazing experience to see the entire City Hall succumb to silence to just listen to his heavenly voice. Dressed in a modest cartoon 'Flipper' t-shirt and raggy jeans, he was far from a Nicki Minaj-style concert with all of the constant costume revamps and extravagant staging, it was simply just him, and a 'mirror wall', where you could see the gig from his point of view, which we thought was really cool, especially when everyone was waving their phone lights! We were DEVASTATED when he walked off after his two hour set, as was everyone else. We did make buddies with his stage handy-man Trevor though. What a guy. Here's a quick view of what we wore to the gig, and also take a look at the videos! And we are NOT in anyway singing superstars. Just putting it out there. :-)
What Becca wore:
Okay, so this picture is pretty terrible, but bear in mind it was 1am and I already had that post-concert depression feeling creeping up on me ( worst feeling EVER in my opinion). I wore this tartan dress ( in age 10-11 D:) from the kids section in New Look, which was only £12.99, which is a bargain, considering tartan is apparently going to be 'big' this season and my trusty old leather jacket which I've had for 5 years! (M&S, don't even remember!). I wore some black suede wedges ( also from New Look, £25.00) which I got as a Christmas present last year.
Jewellery-wise, I wore my Ed Sheeran bracelets and a glow-stick band we all got off Olivia's mam! I also wore my swallow bird earrings ( River Island, £1.50 ) and my fave golden heart pendant ( Accessorize, £5.00 ).
We all drew black 'Sheeran' paws on our hand in permanent marker, which turned out to be a pretty big mistake, as it didn't come off for four days!
From Left to Right : Hannah, Becca, Olivia & KT! Aw.
Our Ed inspired nail art! From clockwise top: Olivia, Hannah, Becca & KT!
What Olivia wore:
Hey guys! So, I got this outfit ESPECIALLY for the beautiful ginger sex god (wink ;-)) and it consisted of a sheer black dress from H&M with a pleather peter pan colar £29.99, my gorgeous denim jacket with fur lining from Top Shop £55 (expensive I know! You can probably find cheeper versions elsewhere so look around before you choose to buy!) my creeper style shoes from Top Shop which were originally a wopping £65 but I got them in the sale for £10! How good is that!? Last but not least, I wore my trusty gold buckle ring that I wear
EVERYDAY! Never take it off :-)
and my Ed Sheeran jewellry. (Rebecca got me one of these bracelets for my birthday last year so we are matching! How cute!?)
Here's some videos from the gig, which were taken on Becca's phone!

Wayfaring Stranger:
Hope you enjoyed reading our Ed Sheeran post! We can't WAIT for Rizzle Kicks on the 1st December! AAAAAAAH!
Taylor Swift,aged 22, is an American country singer and songwriter originally from Pennsylvania. Taylor grew up living on a Christmas tree farm, whilst learning to horse ride and attending a theatre school.
Taylor has long been one of my favourite artists, partly because of her down-to-earth personality, and, of course, amazing voice. I have recently admired her for her fashion sense, and her knack for creating a simple, yet extremely cute outfit.
The superstar always has a retro vibe to her style, and is rarely seen without her signature slick of red lipstick. Always perfectly groomed, Taylor looks like she could have just walked out of the set of 'Bye Bye Birdie'. Now that isn't your average country star.
Florals, brights, sequins, you name it, Taylor has worn it. From her old Hollywood glamour red carpet looks, to her Autumn 'duffle coat and beanie' combo, Miss Swift has THAT something that keeps her fresh, and not decadent, like the 50's fashions she wears.
Often getting critical disclaim for her constant love songs about the several famous faces she has dated, Taylor, frankly, doesn't give a DAMN, and carries on singing about what she is passionate about, which I find very inspiring to listen to someone who genuinely cares about what she writes and performs.
And, just to prove these critics wrong, Taylor has won a UNBELIEVABLE 119 awards in the past few years! GOLLY GOSH! Taylor usually sticks to a natural, earthy pallette for her pieces, only bringing out her bold hues for awards shows and events, and accessorizes with minimal make-up ( a natural, pale base, a dark feline flick of eyeliner and THE matte red lip) and her beautiful blonde hair, either in her mass of ringlets, or poker straight.
As you can tell from this picture, Taylor's style has evolved from your average country sweetheart to something we'd like to call 'Oxford Chic Glamour Queen'. Hm, I think it will catch on.
We ♥ Taylor!
P.S. Here's a picture of the signed Red CD ( her newly released album)! It is such a good album, I don't think there is a bad song on it!
