My shoe boot collection!

I love shoe boots and I probably have more pairs than I will ever get round to wearing!

I love these purple ones and these dark green ones. They are the same design as each other. The two of them are my favourites from my collection. The purple pair really stand out and I love the really dark green colour.

These black ones were a Christmas gift from my auntie a few years ago. I love the gold chain design around the ankle.

I also have leopard print and zebra print shoe boots. I love the zebra print ones, but I have never worn them and I am not sure how to style them. I think they risk looking very tacky especially if I wear them with a dress.

These Irregular Choice Otters gold shoe boots are gorgeous! I haven't worn them for a few years, but I love them so I must try to find an excuse to wear them again.

Here is my collection. I love the chunky heeled designs as well as the stilleto heels. I love all of the autumn colours, but most of them aren't ideal for wearing in wet weather as most of them are faux suede.

Autumn Perfumes!

Since the bank holiday on 31st August it has felt like autumn. We have had rain, central heating and most exciting of all candles!

Although it's not officially autumn until 23rd September 2015 I have decided to start autumn early and I have picked out a few (15 to be precise) of my favourite fragrances for the cooler months.

Diesel's Loverdose is a lovely deep, liquorice based scent. I suppose it is a little bit harsh so it won't be for everyone, but I love it.

Dior Addict is a dark, spicy fragrance with florals and a creaminess that balances the fragrance out perfectly.

Lolita Lempicka's Elle L'aime (not to be confused with L L'aime which was released in a similar bottle!) is a very unique scent. It is not as heavy as my other autumn fragrance picks. It opens quite citrusy and then the base is thick and creamy. It always reminds me of caramel although that is not one of the fragrance notes.

Vivienne Westwoof Let It Rock is another dark, spicy, cosy scent, but it is a little bit harsh so it is not one that everyone is going to like.

Roberto Cavalli Serpentine is a fragrance I got for Christmas a few years ago. It reminds me of autumn/winter. It is described as a floral-oriental. I love this one.

Tom Ford Velvet Orchid was my Christmas present from my partner last year. I think it is really well composed. It is quite masculine and spicy, but it is not too harsh and not as overpowering as some of Tom Ford's other fragrances.

Ghost Deep Night is a lovely, creamy, musky scent. I was obsessed with this fragrance about a year ago. It is lovely.

Roberto Cavalli by Roberto Cavalli was released in 2012, much later than Serpentine, which came out in 2005! This is a deep amber scent with some softer floral notes. It is mature and sensual; one of my favourites for autumn.

Guerlain Mitsouko is a classic. It opens very citrusy and develops into a deep woody scent with a hint of spice; very warming.

Illamasqua Freak is an absolutely amazing scent. It is so unique. It is a unisex fragrance and I often find unisex fragrances a bit too masculine, but this is perfect. It has a masculine edge, but it is a thrilling composition of the most exotic and poisonous flowers. I urge you to give this a go.

Yves Saint Laurent Opium is  a smoky, spicy fragrance. Its notes include incense, cedar and amber.

Jimmy Choo Stars was another gift from my significant other. He bought it for me in September last year so it was a favourite of mine during the months that followed. It is similar to the original Jimmy Choo fragrance with a stronger toffee note. It is sweet, but also quite heavy. It has been re-released this year in a bottle with different colouring.

Chanel Coco is another fantastic composition. It is warming and spicy with notes of cloves, amber and sandalwood.

Lolita Lempicka Minuit Sonne was released last year. Every year Lolita Lempicka comes out with a different bottle and a slightly different name for this 'midnight' fragrance and I have a few of them becasue this is one of my favourite scents! It is like the original Lolita Lempicka fragrance, but more intense. It has notes of liquorice flower and iris. It is sweet and powdery. The fragrance is always released in autumn, but I wear this one all year round.

Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited was one of the few times my partner picked out my Christmas present and surprised me. I didn't like it at first. I remember wearing it on one occasion and I kept noticing it on myself and thinking, 'urgh'! It wasn't until a few years later when I really started getting into fragrance that my tastes changed and I would say developed and now I love it and find it completely inoffensive. It has citrusy notes in it along with liquorice, star anise and white flowers.


I'd recommend trying before you buy as most of these scents you will either love or hate. My favourites are Lolita Lempicka Minuit Sonne and Illamasqua Freak. Some of the heavier, spicy scents can be a bit too much sometimes and I have to be in the mood to wear them, but you can wear any fragrance any time of year. I often wear lighter, fruity-floral scents in the autumn and winter as well as these fragrances and I will occasionally choose a heavier scent in the summer, but I love autumn and these fragrances get me excited for it!

My Latest Want List!

Here's what is top of my list of desired items at the minute.

I really love this diamond ring and I'm dying to get my hands on it.

I also tried the new Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Forever and it is really nice. It is a lot less harsh than Daisy Dream. It is more of a fruity fragrance. The bottle is very similar to Daisy Dream, which I think is a bit annoying.

I have had my eye on this dress for over six months. It is by Quiz and it is also available from Debenhams. I'm going to a dinner next month, which this dress would be perfect for.

I also really want the Urban Decay Smoky palette. I have always thought they should do more greys in their palettes and the Smoky palette looks great. 

My final pick is the new Christian Louboutin lipsticks. There are a few different types and they come in quite a wide range of colours. They come in a presentation box. They cost £60.00 each so I would certainly want to test them out before buying one.

Irregular Choice Dice Heels!

I was just thinking to myself how many amazing Irregular Choice shoes I have and how there have been no new ones that I have really loved for ages.

I logged onto their website to see what they have at the minute and I spotted these really cool boots. I love them. The huge lace holes and the satin ribbon look lovely. The dice heels are new for me as well. I don't think I would get a lot of wear out of them though so at £145.00 they are out of the question.

The black ones are lovely, but I also like these pink and blue sequin ones which are even more outrageous!

They have another design with the dice heels, but I'm not a big fan of this design. They are £125.00.

I wonder what they'll come out with next!

Cute Make-up Packaging from ASOS.

Looking through the beauty section of the ASOS website there are some lovely make-up items with really cute packaging.


Paul and Joe lip gloss compact

Paul and Joe moisturising foundation primer

Paul and Joe nail polish

Paul and Joe face and eye colour

Paul and Joe have always made cute packaging. These cat shaped lipsticks came out a few years ago. I wanted one, but I knew I'd never use it, not wanting to spoil the cat design!

Anna Sui has some different packaging designs as well. These nail polishes are cute.

Anna Sui's lipsticks also come in uniquely designed packaging.

You can also get these Red Carpet Manicure Disney Cinderella gel polish kits. 

I'm loving all of the cute packaging and a few of the items are exclusive to ASOS.com. The Paul and Joe goodies are my favourites!

ASOS adverts!

ASOS seem to have adverts following me around the internet at the minute.

I bought the amazing shoes I mentioned in a previous post! 

I love them. They are quite difficult to get on. Luckily there is a piece of elastic on the back strap otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get them on. They're gorgeous and although they don't look the highest of heels, they are quite steep and I can imagine they will start to really hurt after a short period of walking around.

I have since seen that ASOS also do them in black.

I adore the black ones as well. They look stunning on the model.
The side profile picture shows how steep your foot will be in these hills.

Should I have bought the black ones instead? I will definitely wear the ones I bought. They are gorgeous!

The adverts that have been following me around the internet have showed me a few more of ASOS's lovely products.
I love this maxi dress!

I also really like this Frock and Frill 2-in-1 dress.

Sorry to go back to shoes, but I really like these as well, but I'm not sure which colour I'd go for. I think my favourites are either the black ones or the silver ones.

ASOS has impressed me lately. I used to love ASOS and at one point I used to browse the site every day and then I went through a long period of ordering very little from them. I love their stuff at the minute!

July Favourites 2015!

There are a few things I've been loving this month that I thought I should share.

I have been using Tresemme's colour protect hair conditioner even though my hair is not coloured. I love the scent of Tresemme and it is really nourishing. I really noticed the difference when I had used this up and started using a different conditioner. I really love this product!

I bought this silver rhodolite flower ring a few months ago from QVC. I have been wearing it loads recently. It has lots of sparkle.

I'm really happy with my mascara at the moment. I am using Maybelline's Rocket mascara. It is waterproof (although you can get a non-waterproof version) and although the brush looks like nothing special I find that it coats my lashes really well. I think this may have to be a repurchase!

I have had a sample pot of Clinique's Moisture Surge Intense cream for a while and I am down to the very last few applications now. I absolutely love it. It is really light and hydrating. I often use it underneath my concealer to make sure it doesn't go cakey.

I bought a bottle of this Radox pink grapefruit and basil shower gel a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. It has a really strong, refreshing scent that really wakes you up. I will definitely be buying it again.

I bought this MakeUp Revolution lipstick in shade Treat. It is a nude pink shade and it goes on so easily. It only cost £1.00 from Superdrug and I think it is better quality than my £40.00 Tom Ford lipstick! The only annoying thing about it is the lid keeps coming off when it is in my handbag!

I love my black jeans by The Collection at Debenhams. I don't wear jeans a lot, but these are really comfortable and they fit perfectly. I don't even have to wear a belt with them.

I am still loving my New Look boots which I have previously posted about and I think they featured in my March favourites! They are really comfortable and I love the look of them! I wish I had bought ten pairs as I feel as though when these are worn out I'm going to be looking for another pair of boots like these for the rest of my life!
