10 Fragrances On My Want List!

Here are 10 fragrances I have had on my want list for what seems like ages. There are a few new fragrances I am eager to get my hands on, but these ones seem to have been on my list for ages.

I love perfume and I have a huge collection, but there's always something more out there that I would love.


Dior's Dolce Vita is an underrated fragrance. I hardly ever hear people mention it. I love a lot of Dior's scents and the ones I own have the best longevity and projection of all of the fragrances I have.

It seems like I am the only person who doesn't own Paco Rabanne's Lady Million. It has been on my want list for ages.

I tried Vera Wang Be Jeweled when it first came out and I liked it, but never did get round to purchasing it.

I absolutely love Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb, but I couldn't choose between the eau de toilette and the eau de parfum so didn't get round to buying either. I have the Flowerbomb La Vie En Rose fragrance and I love that one too.

Sisley Soir De Lune is another fragrance I've had on my list for a while. This is a 2006 creation.

I was going to get Tom Ford Violet Blonde for Christmas last year, but then I wanted Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid which came out so Violet Blonde is still on the 'to get' list.

Gucci Flora is another classic I haven't got round to purchasing. I have a few of the garden collection versions; Glorious Mandarin (yellow) and Gorgeous Gardenia (pink).


Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia is another fragrance I would really like. It has a lovely scent; one of my favourites from Jo Malone.

I love Frederic Malle's Lipstick Rose. I tried it in Liberty's early this year and I was impressed with the scent and the longevity so it's definitely one I hope to get my hands on at some point in the future.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh is another classic that I still don't have. A lot of people have said that this is their wedding day scent. I really want to get the 125ml bottle even though it'll take me years to get through.

My Christmas Shopping - Stocking Fillers!

I have done most of my Christmas shopping already and I have found some cute little stocking fillers to finish off some of the gifts to my family.

I love these socks from New Look and there are so many more designs. I bought a pair each for my friends. They cost £4 for 3 pairs.

 
I've also got a few goodies from Lush. I bought the Peeping Santa bubble bar and the Yog Nog bath bomb.




I also found this Chewits branded bath and shower gel and hand wash. I'm interested to try them out for myself. I think they are a fun idea.

I have also bought an Airwick silhouette colour change candle. I had one myself a few years ago without the silhouette design on the glass holder. The one below is cinnamon roasted chestnuts scented.

Shoe purchases and Irregular Choice's Star Wars Designs!



I bought this pair of nude patent heels by Truffle Collection this week. I love the straight heel on them. I have similar pairs from Shoe Box in light blue and Tesco in lilac which I bought in the summer. 





Yesterday I ordered the over the knee boots I've been loving from New Look. I looked for them in every New Look store I could find, but they only had larger sizes in stock so I ordered them online.



Hopefully I won't see any more shoes that I love this year. I already have far too many pairs. I have to confess that I had a peek on the Irregular Choice website yesterday and they certainly have some interesting new creations especially if you're a Star Wars fan..


The lightsaber heels are called Skywalker. They have flashing lightsaber heels which are activated by gentle impact on the soles (not the heels) and they also have sound effects which are activated with a click button. The batteries can be recharged by micro USB connector. They cost £210.00.

I think the ankle boots with Darth Vader and Stormtrooper on the heels are the coolest. They are called The Death Star and cost £275.00.

The flat shoes are called Darth Vader and cost £110.00.

The Christmas Wish List So Far..!

There are so many lovely things that I have had my eye on lately. Some of them may have to go on my Christmas list.

My favourite item that I am in love with is this lovely pair of over the knee boots from New Look. I don't think I can wait until Christmas for them.
The next thing that I really love is this gorgeous morganite, pink sapphire and diamond ring. I have had my eye on this since about February but still haven't made the purchase. It is from QVC.
There are two perfumes I have been desperately wanting to add to my collection lately. I love Vera Wang by Vera Wang...

And Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Forever is a lovely scent. I bought the original Daisy Dream, but I came to really dislike it. The new 'Forever' version is a lot less harsh.



I have looked everywhere for a new purse this year and there isn't anything I really love to be honest. I do like this Marc Jacobs purse, but they have sold out in brown on selfridges.com and I'm not as keen on it in black. I might be able to find it somewhere else. 

Another thing I have wanted for a while is a foot spa. The perfect way to end a lazy, chilled out Sunday with a pamper session, a foot spa and good book.
My final choice is some 9ct rose gold stud earrings. I love rose gold and haven't got any plain rose gold studs so it feels like something my jewellery box is lacking.
