Rebecca Minkoff Mini Avery Tote

I love my current handbag, but it is starting to look a bit worse for wear now so I want to buy a new one.

I love this Rebecca Minkoff bag, but I don't know which colour I would choose.

January Perfume Haul

I have bought plenty of perfume this year already.

I mentioned in a post in December that I had wanted to buy a 125ml bottle of Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh, which I am now the proud owner of.

I also bought Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire eau de parfum gift set with the 30ml bottle of fragrance and a 75ml body milk. It is also a scent I have thought about purchasing for a while and I love it. With notes of rose, liquorice and smoked black tea it is delicious as it sounds!

L'Aimant is a fragrance I have seen in the shops since I was a child, but have never seen a tester to try it out so I bought it in a gift set in the Boots sale. It is an inexpensive fragrance anyway. It is a nice, aldehydic scent that has been compared to Chanel No. 5.

New 2016 Perfumes!

There are lots of new fragrances coming out this year.

There are three new Marc Jacobs releases; Daisy Blush, Daisy Eau So Fresh Blush and Daisy Dream Blush.

They all sound like nice springtime scents and I look forward to trying them.

Their colour scheme fits well with Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy Rose which is another 2016 release. I love rose scents so I think this one will be interesting. I think the bottle is awful though. I'm not keen on glitter on bottles and this one seems to be opaque which I think takes away from the lovely squared-off shape of the bottle. 

Nina Ricci is releasing Nina Pop which is the same scent as the original Nina in a colourful bottle. This is to celebrate 10 years since Nina's release.

..But the winner of the most hideous bottle design goes to Moschino's Fresh Couture, which comes in a bottle made to look like a bathroom cleaning spray. I think the bottle is quite shocking. Who came up with this terrible idea?!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I wonder what 2016 has in store for us! It looks as though these DKNY Be Delicious Electric fragrances will be coming out this month.

Their names seem to link in with Valentine's Day.

In green we have Bright Crush.

In orange there is Citrus Pulse.

In pink we have Loving Glow.

I'm not sure why the boxes pictured all have 'Citrus Pulse' written on them as Bright Crush and Loving Glow are not supposed to be citrusy.

DKNY says:

Bright Crush, a scent that allegedly reflects the love of freedom and confidence, opening with juicy Honeydew melon, bergamot, blackcurrant and plum. The heart includes frangipani and peony. Golden amber, vanilla and creamy woods end the composition.

Citrus Pulse begins with fresh fruity and citrusy accords of nectarine, mandarin and passion fruit. Jamsine absolut, frangipani flower and magnolia form the floral heart of the composition, placed on the base of musk, woods and benzoin.

Loving Glow is shining with fruity notes of grape, blackcurrant and pineapple on the top, with a heart of purple violet, apricot and jasmine. The base consists of vanilla, amber wood and musk.

I look forward to trying these fragrances. From the list of notes I am most intrigued to try Loving Glow. You hardly ever see pineapple listed in the notes of a fragrance so it'll be interesting to see what this one is like. The past few years I have ended up buying all of the DKNY releases so we'll have to wait and see whether or not these end up in my collection!
