A Week in Instagram #2

Instagram 10th Sept

Instagram 10th Sept 2Hola chicas! We’re back with our second Week In Instagram post. We’re moving house in a couple of weeks and so are on a strict spending ban because of deposits and fees and all those undesirable things – as such, it’s not been the most exciting week ever. We’re still going to force photos on you though. Bahaha.

1. After a couple of years on the dark side, Lauren’s decided to dye her hair back blonde. This colour stripper is the first step in the process – everybody keep your fingers crossed!
2. Lauren’s FOTD from her night out at the weekend. As subtle as ever, I’m sure we’ll all agree.
3. This is basically how I spent my entire weekend after finally setting my internet TV up. Lovefilm, loads of tea and a faint concern that I may start to develop bed sores.
4. Some lovely Manuka Doctor products that we had delivered this week!
5. We launched our giveaway! All you need to do to win a MAC lipstick of your choice is follow us on Bloglovin’ and Twitter, and then you can earn extra entries by tweeting about the giveaway, liking our page on Facebook, and sending us biscuits in the post (okay, that one might not be true – but please, still feel free to do so).
6. Lauren’s FOTD, facing her last day in the world as a brunette.
7. Can you believe this makeover came courtesy of an app? It’s called Perfect 365 and has a variety of makeup filters – it has to be said, this is borderline addictive.
8. We were lucky enough to have some London Fashion Week invitations pop through our door! Of course we’re hugely grateful and would absolutely love to go, but this spending ban of ours means we can’t make it down to London this week. This is where the crying face emoji would go if this were a text message.

A Week in Instagram

Instagram 2nd Sep

Instagram 2nd August 2Hey there lads and lasses. We don’t know whether anyone is remotely bovvered about what we get up to in our day to day lives, but we like to pretend that you are and insist on telling you all anyway. This is why we thought it would be a good idea to squidge together some Instagram photos to give you a visualisation of what we did last week, just in case you were dying to know (don’t lie, you were).

1. Lauren wore a hat one day, which caused quite the stir in the office. We snuck off round the back of the building to snap her OOTD pictures, which was an experience that mainly involved me shouting “STOP SQUINTING YOUR EYES” (a very annoying habit she has) and keeping our fingers crossed that nobody would come out for a fag break and catch us being idiots.
2. It was Lauren’s birthday a couple of weeks ago, and one of the lovely gifts she received from her… gentleman caller (she may kill me for writing this)… was an amazing champagne and spirit tasting event at Selfridges in the Bullring. While I spent my night at home in the Bitch Shack, seething with jealousy, she spent her evening ‘sampling’ fine wines and spirits – i.e. getting twatted for free. Jammy.
3. Embracing texture in my new fluffy Primark cardigan with my new quilted leather iPhone case at work last week. Yes, that is our work’s toilet.
4. We went on a soup and fruit detox for three whole days in an attempt to clear our bodies of the utter junk we had filled them with. After our carb-less cleanse, we gorged ourselves on sweets and crisps. That’s how it works, right?
5. I went out for lunch with my friend Lisa on Saturday, to a lovely new bar called The Artisan. It is SO pretty, plus they do lethal cocktails, thus I have chosen it as the place I’m going to go for my birthday next month so I can pretend that I’m going to be sophisticated once I’m 23.
6. Lauren’s FOTD for an evening out in Birmingham over the weekend.
7. I bleached my hair! But more of that in a post to come in the next couple of days…
8. Monday mornings… enough said.

These photos were all taken from our blog Instagram @StylingoUK and my personal account. Don’t forget to follow us!
