Going dotty for summer!

I made the mistake of emptying my wardrobe out the other week, with the belief that I could put everything back neater and maybe squeeze a few more things in. I seem to have made this mistake repeatedly over the years. It is always a nightmare trying to cram more into my already bursting wardrobes!

These are a few of my spotty dresses that I sorted out for the summer.

I love the larger spots on the white dress and the little polka dots on the blue one, which I also love the style of. The green, red and yellow dresses will be great for the summer. We've already had some lovely, sunny days - let's hope there are plenty more this year!

2014 - the year of the Marc Jacobs fragrance!

You're not going to believe me, but this morning I was watching a perfume collection video on youtube. Seeing the bottle of Honey by Marc Jacobs, I thought to myself I bet they will bring another fragrance out in a light pink version of the bottle.
At lunchtime I was on fragrantica.com and there it is announced as their next fragrance.

Due for release for summer 2014, this new eau de parfum is called Pink Honey and has top notes of mandarin, fruit punch and pear, heart notes of orange blossom, peach and honeysuckle and base notes of honey, vanilla and woods.

It is limited edition and it seems that it will only be released in a 50ml size bottle.

Marc Jacobs also have Daisy Dream, which is another summer 2014 release.

I hope Daisy Dream smells nice. I really fancy that one. I have almost everything from the Daisy line and love it all.
Daisy Dream will be released in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml bottles and it is an eau de toilette. It sounds a little bit different with accords of blackberries, pear, blue wisteria, jasmine and coconut water.
Marc Jacobs describes the scent as a more sophisticated and ethereal version of the original Daisy.

I feel Marc Jacobs are releasing these fragrances a bit too quickly for me to keep up with.

2014 has already seen two releases from Marc Jacobs; Daisy Delight and Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight both of which I have in my collection.

Pretty prints!

I have mentioned before that I love printed dresses and I was going through my collection today so I thought I'd share a few of my favourite prints. I love my perfume bottle print dress in black. I love perfume and I love dresses so it was perfect for me.

 I think the lipstick print is really original on the white dress.

 The navy squirrel print dress is really cute as well.

Cute dragonfly print

Burgundy dress with white hearts - I wear this lots!

I love the deep turquoise colour of this dress. The bird print is really cute as well.

I love the colour of this bee print dress.

Ice lolly print

This print is all things nice - chocolates, roses, kisses, jewellery, lipstick, champagne and love letters! It's very original - I love it!

I love this ditsy floral print as well.

I have many more prints in my collection and lots of spotty and floral dresses as well. I will post more from my collection soon.

Vera Wang Princess Power

I love Vera Wang's Princess range and I own all of the collection so far so I can't imagine that this new release, Princess Power will stay out of my collection for long.

I find all of the Princess fragrances are universal. They tend to be light, fun, inoffensive, fruity-floral fragrances. From the list of notes I think this one sounds like another crowd pleaser.

The bottle is very colourful and so is the promo poster. This range seems to be aimed at younger girls. All of the Princess fragrances are eau de toilettes.

I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but I've read the list of notes and it sounds nice so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

It has top notes of pear and raspberry, heart notes of delicate jasmine, exotic fragipani and rainbow rose and a base of blonde woods, vanilla and creamy musk.

I'm disappointed to see, that like the last offering Pink Princess, Princess Power is only available in 30ml or 50ml bottles and will not be released in 100ml size like the previous 6 Princess fragrances were.

This is the 8th release from this range and it is one of the few ranges where all of the previous releases are relatively easy to get your hands on.

2006 Princess
2006 Flower Princess
2009 Rock Princess
2009 Glam Princess
2010 Preppy Princess
2012 Princess Night
2013 Pink Princess
2014 Princess Power

I wonder how much longer the list will go on.

Spring is in my step!

I'm loving pastel colours for spring. I really fancy the Pretty Pastels palette by MUA or MakeUp Academy.

It's available from Superdrug or online at muastore.co.uk for just £4.00.
I have the Undressed palette by MUA and the eye shadows are highly pigmented, transfer onto your skin easily and they are lovely colours.

The Pretty Pastels palette has lovely, pretty colours in it.

I bought these shoes from modatoi.co.uk today and I love them. They are such a pretty colour and aren't very high so they will be perfect for going shopping or for days out. I can't wait to wear them. They were only £11.70 reduced from £16.70.

I also ordered a new perfume today, Tous Touch. It's a lovely, floral scent.
Last year while we were on holiday in Europe my fiancé picked this out for me in a perfume shop, but we didn't buy it. It reminds me of that holiday. I can't wait to wear it!

Jimmy Choo Flash London Club

I couldn't get the 100ml bottle of Jimmy Choo Flash London Club I wanted anywhere. No department store stocks larger than 60ml and a lady in Debenhams told me that it was limited edition so was not available in the UK in bottles larger than 60ml.

The only place I could find the 100ml bottle online was worlddutyfree.com, where it teased with the £46.40 price tag, only £4.40 more than the 60ml would cost in Debenhams or House of Fraser, but you obviously can't buy online from worlddutyfree.com so my friend got the 100ml bottle for me when she was going on holiday and she gave it to me yesterday!

It smells similar to the original Flash, but they don't share many of the same notes.

Flash London Club has top notes of bergamot and lychee, a heart of tuberose and base notes of blond woods and musk.

The original Flash has top notes of strawberry, tangerine and pink pepper, heart notes of tuberose, jasmine and white lily and base notes of heliotrope and blond woods.

Flash London Club opens as a lovely, fresh, clean scent like the original. As it dries down it is quite musky and it loses a lot of what reminds me of Flash.
One thing I noticed straight away was that it has very poor projection. I don't notice this on myself like I do with the original Flash and I have seen others say the same.

It is a lovely perfume. It's a shame it doesn't project well.

A lot of people said that the name, Flash London Club was tacky and I do find it a bit cringeworthy. The bottle has also been attacked, having glitter around the bottom. It doesn't come off very easily, but it can come off.
I like the deep purple colour of the glass, but I must admit I prefer the design of the original bottle and I much prefer the scent of the original Flash as well.

The original Flash is my favourite perfume so although this limited edition doesn't live up to the original it is still really nice and I'm really glad to have the 100ml bottle.

Oasis picks!

I'm loving Oasis at the minute.

I saw a lovely peach jacket the other day. There is a similar one on their website, but it is not exactly the same as the one I saw instore.
This costs £50.00 online.

They have loads of lovely dresses as well. Here are 12 I've picked out from their website.

I'm loving the prints. I went mad for them last spring/ summer and Oasis have plenty to choose from.
