April Favourites 2016!

Here are a few of my favourite items that I have been using in April 2016. I can't believe April is almost over already.



I have found myself reaching for Jimmy Choo Flash London Club a lot this month. The original Flash fragrance is one of my favourite fragrances and Flash London Club has a similar scent.

I have been wearing my diamond cluster ring a lot this month. I absolutely love the design and I prefer yellow gold jewellery.

I have had a lot of wear from my brown New Look belt this month. I tend to go for quite wide, chunky belts. I'm very happy with this one.

I received my Burt's Bees lip balm in a gift set from my sister and since I used up my favourite EOS lip balm I have been using this one. It has a peppermint flavour and feels very cooling when applied.

I love this Studio MakeUp eyeliner pen. The tip goes to a fine point so it is very precise and easy to apply.

My sister bought me a gift set of mini Impulse sprays a while ago and I have been using this miniature Impulse in True Love which has a scent of fressia and tangerine. It is one of the better Impulse sprays.

I have mentioned my black jeans from The Collection at Debenhams before. I have some new ones exactly the same on order as I love these and have worn them loads.

I have only worn these light blue shoes once but I love them. The colour actually leans slightly more towards green than the stock picture shows, but I can't pick it up on my camera very well either. They are the perfect height; not too high but not too low and they look great with jeans.

April Jeans And Shoes Haul!

The other day I ordered 3 new pairs of jeans! I have 2 pairs of jeans by The Collection at Debenhams and I really like them so I thought I'd buy some new ones.

The first pair I bought are the same as a pair I already own. I bought them at the beginning of last year. I have been wearing them a lot this month so I decided to get a pair in reserve.
They are black bootcut jeans.



I also bought some similar black stretch bootcut jeans.


The third and final pair I bought were these indigo wash bootcut jeans. I hope I like them all when they arrive.


I also managed to get my hands on the shoes I mentioned in my post at the beginning of April that had been out of stock in my size. Not only did I get the red ones and the yellow ones I included in my blog I also managed to find them in two more colours and I couldn't resist buying them all!!








I love all of them. The pastel ones above are gorgeous. I love colourful, fun shoes!

I also ordered one of the other pairs of patent pointed shoes that I'd had my eye on in light blue. I have worn these ones already. I love them.

Huge Perfume Haul 2016!

You usually find there are plenty of online offers over bank holidays as you have longer to wait for your items in the post.

I picked up one of my biggest hauls of perfume ever over the bank holiday at the end of March.

I got 5 Marc Jacobs fragrances including the whole Daisy Blush collection; Daisy Blush, Daisy Eau So Fresh Blush and Daisy Dream Blush.
I also got Daisy Dream Forever which was released in 2015 and Decadence which I don't think is from the same range.


I love them all.
Decadence is a long lasting fragrance with notes of iris, amber and woods. It is quite creamy. I'm not crazy about the bottle design, but the scent is gorgeous!
Daisy Blush is a fresh, white floral scent.
Daisy Eau So Fresh Blush has quite a citrusy scent to begin with and develops quickly into a soft, sweet, floral.
Daisy Dream Blush is a soft, powdery floral scent. It has notes of violet leaf, rose and freesia.
Daisy Dream Forever is a lot sweeter and less harsh than the original Daisy Dream, which had white flowers on the bottle.


I also bought Vera Wang by Vera Wang, which I love. It is quite a mature white floral fragrance.

Jimmy Choo Illicit is such an interesting scent. To begin with it reminds me of Nina by Nina Ricci, but it is a bit deeper than Nina. It has notes of ginger, amber and honey. It is very warming.

Jimmy Choo Blossom smells like one of Escada's summer fragrances. It is sweet and has a tropical, fruity scent. In my mind the bottle design and the scent don't work well together. It is a lovely, light summer scent though.

L'Artisan Parfumeur La Chasse Aux Papillons is a light but unique floral fragrance with notes of bergamot, jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose and lime blossom.

Lots Of Colourful Shoes.. And Some Black Ones!

There's a whole load of shoes I am loving at the minute. Here are five of my favourites in black. I need to buy more black shoes. Sometimes I stand in front of my huge shoe collection and think 'I've got no shoes to wear' because I have so many colourful shoes and not enough black ones.

 I love these colourful pointed heels from modatoi.com. I'd snap a pair up if they had them in my size.

This is the other colour they have but again not in my size. They are gorgeous.

I'm loving patent pointed shoes and I want them in almost every colour. The bright ones will be great for the summer with a nice dress or even with jeans. There's no way I'm going to reach summer without having bought a few pairs of these.


Christian Louboutin have some similar colours in patent pointed toe shoes, but a lot of sizes have gone already and they are around 40 times the price.

I love the purpley pink colour and the light blue ones the most.
