2. Meet The Vamps - The
Vamps:
Ok so this isn't just one song, it's a whole album but we couldn't pick just one! Such an amazing debut album by these four boys!

3. Stay with Me - Sam
Smith:
It's been around for a fair while now but we can't stop singing this song! It's definitely one which gets belted out whilst in the shower!

4. Nobody
To Love – Sigma:
Definitely Bec's jam at the moment! This remix of a Kanye West song has such a fun vibe! We certainly can't sit still whenever we listen to this one!

5. Amnesia - 5 Seconds
of Summer:
This is definitely one of the stand outs on 5sos' self-titled debut album. This is the next single they will be releasing so we can't wait to see what they come up with next for their video clip (I think these 4 Aussie boys have a pretty good track record on creating awesome video clips!).

Books:
1. The Fault In Our Stars – John Green:
This book definitely lived up to the hype. If you haven’t read it yet then you are missing out. It is such a captivating story that consecutively will warm your heart and then break it into a thousand pieces. Warning: tissues will be necessary.

2. #GIRLBOSS – Sophia
Amoruso:
Reading this book makes you want to dream big and kick butt. The cute illustrations, quotes and inspiring profiles of numerous #girlbosses make the book so easy and enjoyable to read. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for motivation, a kick-in-the-butt or just genuinely wants something a bit different to read.

3. Little Women – Louisa May Alcott:
This is a classic American novel which follows the lives of four girls as the make the transition from childhood to adulthood, set in the 1800’s. This book is Rebecca’s all-time favourite book because the storyline will take you back in time on an emotional rollercoaster. The novel will have you bursting with Joe’s rebelliousness, Meg’s womanhood, Beth’s selflessness and Amy’s charm.

4. Teen Vogue Handbook:
This is a fantastic book for anyone who wants a career in fashion. It is a lot of valuable advice and the layout is super easy to read and follow. We loved the amazing images as well as the interviews from successful fashion designers, writers, stylists, models and photographers.

5. 100 Ideas That Changed Fashion
- Harriet Worsley:
This book was an interesting read which presented key moments in fashion in a simple and clear layout. It is a great coffee table type book which is not only perfect for fashion lovers but because of the unique and interesting layout is quick and straightforward enough for people who just want to widen their interests and knowledge.

Fashion:
1. Pastel Pink:
We're both serious lovers of pink and what better way to show our love for the colour than wearing it! In particular, pastel pink has been our go-to recently.

2. Coats:
Where we live it doesn't tend to get super cold, even during winter, so it's difficult to find an excuse to wear a coat. Buuut there's so many pretty styles which we just couldn't resist so we think that's a good enough reason to wear one, wouldn't you agree?

3. Flippy Skirts:
See you later skater, we're now styling to taste with the drop waist! We used to wear a lot of skater style skirts but at the moment we're loving the look of the flippy skirt. The flippy skirt looks great teamed with a pair of heels, plus they're super fun to give a bit of a twirl in!

4. Check Print:
We definitely love rocking some check print this winter for that 90’s grunge inspired look. For a not-so-subtle look we both love wearing check dresses with black biker jackets and boots. Now that’s check mate.

5. Socks and Sandals:
Okay, so this is a tricky fashion trend which is hard to pull off butttt that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. We love a cute sandal with lacy trimmed socks for that extra touch of femininity. Oh, and it keeps the toes nice and warm during these cooler months.

Beauty:
1. Revlon Photoready
Bronzer:
We both use this product and it works great if you have a slightly paler complexion. If you've been finding that your foundation makes you look ghostly-white just apply a small amount of this product over your entire face and neck and it should minimise that ghostly complexion without looking unnatural (just make sure not to apply too much!). You can also use it for contouring.

2. Covergirl Lashblast
Lengthening Mascara:
(Ellie) I personally love this mascara and have been buying it for a few years now! It never clumps and it's great for everyday use if you just want that extra bit of length on your lashes. I definitely recommend it for those who prefer a more natural makeup look.

3. Benefit
Porefessional Primer:
(Bec) This is definitely my most used primer. I love how the product is easy to apply and leaves the skin looking fantastic, taking away the appearance of pores. It absolutely lives up to its name as a pore-fessional.

4. GHD Hair
Straightner:
How could we leave the trusty GHD out of our list of favourites? We just couldn’t. It’s by farrrrr the most reliable device for a quick hair transformation. Whether that means perfectly straight hair, a quick straightening of the fringe (Bec) or loose curls, this is the go-to item for all our daily hair requirements.

5. Fudge Urban 3 in 1 Miracle Moisture:
This stuff literally works miracles on our hair. It is the perfect product which helps keep the ends hydrated, soft and always feeling great. Plus, it doesn’t blow the budget (now that is what we call a winner!).
