Charlie and the chocolate factory (Blogmas day 4)

Hannah here! 

For our fourth blogmas post I thought I would tell you all about my trip to see Charlie and the chocolate factory in Covent Garden.

I was given the tickets by a friend of mine who won them in a competition but wasn't able to attend and had seen it last year (lucky me)! 

I took one of my school friends (Jess had already seen it) and we had a lovely evening. The musical is amazing. For anyone that hasn't seen it the set is phenomenal and it has such a large and talented cast. It is easily the best musical I have ever seen! This musical would be loved by all, and there's no better way to get into the Christmas spirit than with chocolate! 

Thank you for reading,comment or tweet us your thoughts and let me know if you've seen Charlie and the chocolate factory!

Christmas Wishlist (Blogmas day 3)

Jess here,
For our third blogmas post I will be writing my ultimate Christmas wishlist,this includes presents that I am asking for this year but also presents that I know I will not get but I would love to have and I'm sure many of you will agree with some of them!

Firstly here is the list that I am asking for from my family this year:
1) This blue and green tartan cape, I tried this on in the shop and fell in love with it, it was very comfortable and I loved how it looked on so I decided to put it on my Christmas list. http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/accessories/dark-green-check-blanket-wrap-cape_316716630

2)I love topshop jeans and I always get the leigh style however Hannah has always raved about the Joni jeans and I do love high waisted skirts and shorts so why not try some high waisted jeans?! I didn't want an ordinary style so when I came across these I fell in love and decided to ask for them for Christmas. http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/jeans-446/joni-super-high-waisted-jeans-1108/moto-prince-of-wales-joni-jeans-3347037?refinements=category~%5b941191%7c208527%5d&bi=1&ps=20

3)I love to have TV programmes on DVD and this year I have been loving two series in particular, Modern Family and Game of Thrones, so of course I have asked for both of these on DVD.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Game-Thrones-Season-1-3-DVD/dp/B00AQGE5BS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417553295&sr=8-1&keywords=game+of+thrones

 And now for my ultimate Christmas list:
1) A St Bernard dog, they are so cute and fluffy, this is my ideal dog for when I am older. I never used to like dogs but when I saw a St Bernard I fell in love!!!

2) Even though I haven't passed my driving test yet a car would be an ideal present, and my dream car would be this gorgeous light blue mini! 

3) My final dream Christmas present would be a trip to Disneyland Paris! Disneyland Paris is my happy place and is my favorite during the winter season so a trip over Christmas is my ideal present! 

Thanks for reading my Christmas wishlist and Dream wishlist.

A Christmassy day out in London (Blogmas Day 1)

Hi all
Last weekend we went for a shopping trip on Oxford street and a cozy sleepover, which made us feel very christmassy.

We started the day with a trip to Costa for a Christmas drink and a catch up, both of us had the brownie hot chocolate which is delicious!

We then went to the Brandy Melville shop near liberty's where Hannah wanted to buy EVERYTHING. Next we made our way back to oxford street and of course went to Topshop and H&M, where we tried out the fun photo booth. 

We then had a wander down Oxford street towards Primark and admired some of the lovely Christmas decorations on the shop fronts. 

We had a good look around Primark and decided to buy matching Minnie Mouse pyjamas which are so soft and fluffy!!

After we finished with our Christmas shopping up London we went back to Jess's house for a movie night; we watched The Fault in Our Stars, F.R.I.E.N.D.S, and ate way too much food!

It was a lovely weekend, and has got both of us in the Christmas spirit!

Thanks for reading,

Red lipstick purchase.

Jess here,

For ages I have been trying to find a red lipstick that will suit my skin tone and hair colour (I have blond hair and a fair skin tone) and whilst out Black Friday shopping I spotted the colour riche by l'oreal lipsticks and fell in love with the colour pure red. 

I really like the colour on me and it also has a very nice feel and finish on my lips, so I would definitely recommend this lipstick, or any in this range!!
