Hi there everyone, 

So, as Paloma said in the last post I took my first ever trip to Scotland. It lived up to every expectation, so quaint and beautiful with cobbled streets, old brick and cute characterful passageways. Not to mention all of the independent cafes and lunch bars including where our own Kate and Wills went on their first date. 

We had the most amazing weekend although it was bloody freezing, i couldn't bare to leave, resulting in tears on the train home, oh well, we'll be meeting in Bristol in a couple of days, not long now. 

Keep checking the blog for updates,

Sorry for the cheesy, albeit it honest, title but I do love a wee bit of alliteration, what can I say?! (Generic English Lit student right here!) So last week Jess took the 'perilous' journey-Storm Abigail really did give it her all- to St. Andrews so she could pay me a much needed visit at uni. Despite the weather, we had an amazing time (of course) and even managed to take a little trip down to the beach, truly my favourite place to be in my adopted town. These photographs were snapped amidst the gush of waves in the serene cove of castle sands, the perfect setting for a perfect weekend.

 

All my love,

Manchester.

Hey guys,

Here are a few pics from our trip to Manchester. We had both only been to Manchester once, so we were both relying heavily on Google Maps but despite running around like headless chickens, we had the most amazing weekend sightseeing and checking out the Manchurian night life. 

Our main reason for visiting the city was to see Spector, one of our favourite bands, who you should all give a listen to. We had the most amazing time being front row at Gorilla, a small yet perfectly formed venue. Moth Boys, their new album is available on spotify, check them out!

This summer we have made a habit, perhaps the best kind of habit there could be, of going for coffee by the Thames. Although I have the luxury of living by the sea whilst at university (St.Andrew's you stunner) there is something so magical about the London riverside in the midst of the August sun. The ice cream vans, ducklings, picnickers, row boats drifting by and the mad rush to get your tan on... Summertime in London is truly beautiful.

Today it was a beautiful day in London so we spontaneously decided to go for a leisurely stroll along the Richmond river, admiring the beautiful flowers, which unintentionally match our outfits. If you're a regular reader, you'll see that co-ordinating our outfits through what must be telepathy, is rather frequent.

We have a habit of turning up in pretty much identical outfits, be it our best friend telepathy or our mutual love of a good crop n' skirt combo either way this post is a result of one of those habitual days...

Our friends labelled this look the 'Sandy' (a.k.a Grease's uber sass leading lady), a comparison we were more than happy to accept. And as I'm sure Sandy Olsen would agree although white remains the coveted shade of the season, it has to be said that there is nothing quite as effortlessly classic as an all black ensemble.
