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.

March Favourites 2016

These are my March favourites.

First of all my sister bought this Original Source Tropical Pineapple shower gel for me and it is lovely. You hardly ever find pineapple scented toiletries. I love this, but have been trying to savour it as it's quite difficult to find in the shops.

I have been loving Marc Jacobs Lola eau de parfum this month. It has a lovely, floral scent without being as sweet as you may expect.

My hair straighteners broke recently so I managed to scrounge my sister's old GHD straighteners from her. They are the white ones with a pink design on them. They were a limited edition design a few years ago. I love GHD straighteners. They work really well.

My husband got some Avon Senses grapefruit and cedarwood hair and body wash for Christmas which he has been using this month and I love the scent. I don't use it on my hair; just as a body wash and the scent is great, but the lid is a nightmare to open.

I have rediscovered Avon's Luxe polished rose lipstick this month and I love it. It is easy to apply, feels comfortable and is fairly long wearing.

I love this check scarf that I bought a few months ago. It is really soft and I love the pattern.

I put these tanzanite earrings in for the first time this month. I bought them last year from one of the jewellery channels. They are comfortable and look very pretty.

My March 2015 favourites last year included this navy dress from Boohoo.com and this March I have been loving it all over again. It is really comfortable and flattering and it is easy to dress up or down.

National Fragrance Day!

Today is National Fragrance Day according to The Fragrance Foundation!

I am going to list 10 fragrances that I think make great gifts.

1) Jimmy Choo Flash - This is probably my favourite fragrance. I have bought it for so many of my friends and family. It is very distinctive.

2) Lolita Lempicka Eau de Minuit - I bought this for my mother a few years ago. I love the liquorice flower in this. It is similar to the original Lolita Lempicka eau de parfum only more intense and it is released every year in a different bottle.

3) Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy La Fleur - This is a lovely, sweet scent and the bottle is young and fun.

4) Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche is one of my favourite fragrances. I think Chanel's Chance range is very different to their other fragrances. This one is gorgeous and it lasts well on my skin.

5) Nina Ricci Ricci Ricci - I received this fragrance as a gift and have since bought it as a gift for other people as well. It is my favourite Nina Ricci fragrance.

6) Marc Jacobs Daisy - Most fragrances in this line by Marc Jacobs would make great gifts. Daisy has a lovely, fresh floral scent with a distinctive 'Marc Jacobs scent' which runs right through the Marc Jacobs fragrance range. 

7) Vera Wang Preppy Princess - I love all of the Princess fragrances. I recently found Preppy Princess is available on allbeauty.com and I have my eye on it as a gift for my sister. I wasn't a huge fan of the bottle design when I first got it, but the fragrance is lovely. 

8) Vivienne Westwood Boudoir - This fragrance is floral and to be honest I'm not sure if it will be to everyone's taste so perhaps it wouldn't make the best gift, but I love it and it lasts so long on my skin.

9) Chloe Chloe - I was given Chloe by Chloe as a gift and it is one that I have bought for other people as well. It is another fragrance with great lasting power.

10) Ghost Anticipation - This was the first Ghost fragrance that I bought for myself and I have since bought it for both of my sisters. It has a light floral scent. It is very similar to Victoria Beckham's Instinct. 

Irregular Choice New Trinkletinas!

I love the Irregular Choice Trinkletina design! I have posted my collection of Trinkletina shoes in the past.


My favourite pair are and have always been these ones. They are gorgeous.

I'm loving the new ones they have come out with.

These photos are actually from the Irregular Choice website. Notice on the shoes above the monkey's banana has broken. This has happened on so many of my monkey charms. (I know it looks like it has happened on the left shoe and the right shoe, but I think these photos are taken of the same shoe and some of them have been flipped over).

See below on the black version with the intact banana! Haha!

I love the textured bow on the new designs. I have to say the blue ones are my favourite as I love the pattern at the front and I love the pattern on the back as well, but the black ones are nice too.

I'm loving Irregular Choice a lot more at the minute. For a long while they came out with a lot of shoes that weren't taking my fancy. They have some great designs on the website at the minute.

Irregular Choice Alice In Wonderland

I love the new Alice In Wonderland shoes by Irregular Choice. What do you think?
