Not so lazy Sundays // New Look sale!

So, I met Abbie really early this morning (I am not a morning person so I was pretty mardy haha) and we went to Costa for our breakfast. It just so happened that New Look was open which was a clear sign from someone above that we should be sale shopping haha :p to top it off there was a coat that I was looking at a few weeks back that was £45 but I didn't buy it. Anyway, today I found this coat for £16!! How good is that?! It was in my size and everything! 

It is faux fur and leopard print which I really like! It is so warm and fluffy, I have called her Cecilia. Yes, I name my clothes. 

This is a rather posey picture of Cecilia and I :p 

We also filmed a video today answering you questions from twitter but it hasn't let us upload it which is not good news. Hopefully we will get recording again soon :D 

Tonight, my friend is coming to stay with us from London so I am currently tidying my room up for her :)  going to have a nice chilled out night and then tomorrow we are hitting the sales... Again!

Christmas Day #16!

Today is meant to be Abbie's day but she has lost all power so sends her apologises! Unfortunately this means you are stuck with me haha, poor you! 

I decided today I would write about my favourite memories using pictures I have taken recently! 

Right so picture one is a picture of me in London! I was at SylviaYoung's Theatre School which I go to most holidays and it is my second home, I absolutely love it! This picture was taken when I sept the evening with one of my best ever friends, Ben! We had such a lovely evening :) I don't get chance to see my friends from London as often as I would like but they are some of my best friends ever!! Maria is coming down for next year which I am so so excited for :D 

This next picture comes from my 17th birthday party meal. There was about 20 of us that went from school and we had such a lovely evening! I am with my friend, Tal here who only started at our sixth form this year! We went to Prezzo which is a really nice place to go as a group :) as you can see by my completely cleaned plate, I rather enjoyed the food :p 

Aw, this is one of my favourites! This is a few of my friends and I at our prom in July! We had it at a place called to White Heather and before we went all met at Hannah's house (the girl in greeny blue) for pre-prom champagne. It was a really lovely evening. Infant, I loved the whole day. I have my hair and eye lashes done and was pampered all day which was great haha! Getting my dress sorted was a pretty stressful experience and I ended up going for the complete opposite to what I thought but I really liked it! (I am the one in blue at the front). In this picture, despite my smiling face, my poor feet have never felt such pain :p I managed to keep them shoes on all night, so proud! 

Finally, this picture was taken this Halloween! It was a bit of a spontaneous party so. Didn't really have long to plan an outfit and ended up borrowing most of Jess's wardrobe and went as a leopard! The make up was so easy to do and all I needed was black eye liner, brown and gold eye shadows and golden glitter, which I had on me! For my hair I just back combed it really really big and used a lot of hair spray so it looked like a mane haha! It was a pain to get out the next day but it was definitely worth it for such a good night :D 

So that has been my last few months or so in pictures! Please don't judge my cheesy grin in the last picture, I was very excited... Clearly :p hope you have all had a good Monday! Wow, that was an oxymoron if I have ever heard one! 

If you have any pictures send us a tweet @scoshgirls 

What is your favourite ever memory?

London!

I got really excited today! I was talking to one of my best friends Maria who lives in London and we started to count down how long we had until I moved down there! In less than 2 years I will live in London, how exciting is that?! I found 2 brilliant unis down there to do English and drama and have got in touch with lots of agencies! So excited :D all I need now is AAB at a level haha. Lot of hard work ahead of me but if you have ever been to London you will know it is worth it!

Jamie's favourites!

So, I have a pretty busy weekend this week! Last night I went out for a lovely meal with a few friends and today I am rehearsing for 'Goodnight, my love...' Which we are putting on in 17 days which is really scary! I am also in the process of making myself an costume to wear for it. 

Also, this weekend, a friend of mine has decided to set up a netball team which I am hoping to be joining soon which should be really good fun!

Today I am blogging about my favourite things and hopefully I will be able to answer the tweets and emails you guys have been sending in! 

So first up I was asked my favourite perfume. This one is easy for me, I absolutely love Taylor Swifts Enchanted Wonderstruck! It is perfect for day time and night time and has a sweet scent (to me it smells like vanilla and flowers). It also comes in a really pretty bottle so makes a perfect Christmas gift. 

Next you asked me my favourite book which is really hard because I love so many! I am a huge Harry potter nerd and my favourite one of those would have the be the half blood prince but I also love all of Philippa Gregory's book (she write historical fiction) and I love Perks of being a wallflower. I also like to read plays and I think Journeys End is one of my favourites :) 

My favourite music was also pretty tough because I have so many to chose from but my favourite band is The Killers. I went to see them last year and they were absolutely incredible! I also love a bit of Taylor Swift, I think she is so talented. 

My favourite place has to be Sylvia Young theatre school in London. This is where I go during my holidays and it is the home of some of my best memories! I have met some absolutely incredible people there and I have never felt more comfortable in a place. It is amazing and I would recommend to anyone to go there. 

 Me and my lovely friends from Sylvia's :)

My 'couldn't do without' make up product is benefits fake up. I get really bad dark circles and this is my saving grace. I use it under my eyes every single day and because it is lighter that using a foundation it doesn't 'clog' it up and make the problem worse. It is amazing :D 

My favourite shop is probably Zara. I think they do really unusual clothes, and because I like to dress quite smartly, it is perfect for me. It is a little bit expensive so I don't shop there all the time (most of my clothes are from New Look because you can get a student discount if you have an NUS card) but I like to treat myself now and again. I also really like urban outfitters and if you are stuck for buying presents for someone you should check them out because they do really good gifts for someone who has a certain I interest. For example is your friend loves hot men, or dogs, or hot men with dogs haha.. 

Finally, my favourite film and TV shows. My favourite film, without a doubt, is Forrest Gump. I have never seen my step dad cry at anything but this. It is such a wonderful film with incredible acting! My favourite TV show is harder because I love so many. I am a bit of a oncer (Once Upon a Time) and I love Friends. At the minute I am also rewatching my White Queen box set. As you know, I love history and the war of the roses is my favourite topic to study. I really like this show and I love Aneurin Bernard who plays King Richard. He is really talented and plays the role so so well!! Ooh and can't forget Horrible Histories... Now that is amazing! 

Anyway, I have finished waffling now! I hope you all have a lovely weekend and remember to give us a follow on twitter and share out blogs @scoshgirls 

Ooh, here is a picture of Aneurin. You are very welcome. 

Ps. A massive well done to Abbie and the boots team for the money raises for Children in Need. It is such an amazing cause so well done girls :)

Jamie's audition!

So, I told you guys yesterday I and an audition today and finger crossed it went quite well. I ended up doing 'I see the light' from Tangled and Then we had to do a group dance piece and my monologue was Nell from 'Like dreaming, backwards'. This is a really deep monologue and is very dramatic so I contrasted it with Roxie's monologue from Chicago to show a wider range of skills. 

A lot of people have been asking my my top tips for auditions and I think the main one is the be yourself. It sounds so cliched but at the end of the day you have nothing to lose, if they don't like you oh well just give it a go and have fun! You should always be prepared and I like to have read the play I am performing the monologue from so I can talk about why I chose it and the different depths of the character which is really important (this is especially important if the audition has an interview afterwards as they will ask about this). People don't want to see you fail so don't think that and if you don't get the part... Keep trying. I have been turned down no end of times and it sucks but it teaches you new things. It gives you more experience so next time you can be even better! Make sure you dress sensibly and don't wear too much make up, they want to see what they can do with you.

Good luck to anyone that has an audition and if you are struggling finding them I would suggest ordering yourself a book called contacts 2013 full of agencies for you the contact.
