Clothing Picks

I feel like the shops are all a bit hit and miss at the minute, but here are a few of my favourite items that I have seen lately..

This blue flutter sleeve dress is available at New Look for just £22.99 which I think is well worth it. I have a few dresses in this colour which I really should dig out for the summer.

 I love this brown handbag which is from boohoo.com. It looks a lot more expensive than the £20.00 price tag.

 I also love these shoes from boohoo.com which are £35.00.

I spotted this floral design dress in Oasis for £75.00.

I have some trousers similar to these ones and I wore them a few times at the beginning of this month. They are really comfy and a stranger told me that they were really nice. These ones are from boohoo.com and they are only £12.00!

This is another cute summery dress which is available from Topshop for £42.00.

EOS lip balm haul

I have been to the USA this month and while I was there I picked up as many EOS lip balms as I could.

The first one I found was the green one which is honeysuckle honeydew and I opened it straight away. It's nice to have plenty of back ups though as it is such a lovely product. It is the exact consistency I like in a lip balm; balmy and moisturising, but not uncomfortably greasy.

The only one I have used in the past was the medicated tangerine one, which I loved and completely used up. I picked up another one this time and also got blueberry acai, lemon drop, passion fruit and pomegranate raspberry.

I am going to ask my sister if she wants one as I think my supply will last me a while.

May Favourites 2016

In May I have been loving my Figs & Rouge pomegranate lip balm. It is really soft and balmy, but not as shiny as a lot of my other lip balms.

I have also fallen in love with DKNY's Red Delicious eau de parfum again. It is such a nice, clean, fresh scent.

I received a tin of mini Impulse sprays for Christmas and I have been using True Love this month. The scent is freesia and tangerine and it is one of my favourite scents by Impulse. My sister-in-law got a gift set for me with the eau de toilette version of this scent which I also love.

I splashed out recently and bought myself a beautiful 18ct gold diamond necklace. The chain is different to the picture, but the pendant is the same. I absolutely love square set diamonds. I think they look beautiful and the diamond is 1/3 of a carat. I absolutely love this necklace. I need to wear it more!

I have been using this I Love... Mango and Papaya hand wash this month and the scent is gorgeous; sweet and fruity and right up my street.

I rediscovered my favourite Elizabeth Arden lipstick this month. I have a few colours from this range but my favourite is Barely There. It is a gorgeous colour and glides on perfectly.

Finally I wore my ASOS boots again this month. I got them last summer and I have never been more in love with a pair of boots in my entire life! I have only worn them two or three times because I want to keep these until the day I die so wearing them out in their first year would just be stupid. I wish I'd bought two pairs the same. I can't say how much I love these. They go with everything too. I wore them with nude tights and a black dress.

Everything's Rosy!

I have just ordered Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Rose.

I love rose scents. I don't like that the bottle is glittery and I didn't know if I was going to like the scent as lots of fragrance claim to be rosy but aren't as I had imagined. I don't really think of Flowerbomb La Vie en Rose as a rose scented fragrance, but I do love it. As the bottle is glittery, part of me didn't want to like this scent and have to add it to my collection, but it has a lovely rosy scent so I just had to add it to my collection.

I have a few rose scented fragrances in my collection already.



Nina Ricci Mademoiselle Ricci has a soft rose scent that is feminine and subtle. The bottle is beautiful as well with the rounded glass with a ribbon design wrapped around it.

John Galliano eau de toilette is a more vibrant take on rose with good projection and a very uniquely designed bottle.

Marc Jacobs Lola has a combination of floral notes. It isn't strictly a rose scented fragrance, but you can definitely smell the rose in it. I absolutely love Lola!

Ghost eau de toilette is a gorgeous scent. I wore it yesterday. It is surprisingly long lasting for an eau de toilette and the scent of rose dominates this fragrance.


Another rose scented fragrance I'd like to add to my collection is Chloe's Roses de Chloe. I've had it on my list for a while because who doesn't need another lovely, rosy scent?

DKNY Delicious Collection!

I've been loving my DKNY Delicious fragrances lately. I have found myself using Red Delicious a lot. It is such a lovely, fresh scent.

Today I opted for Be Delicious ☕ Paris which is a floral fragrance that differs a lot from other Be Delicious releases.

 I adore all of the Sweet Delicious line and the Delicious Delights line as well so they are always popular choices for me to wear.

Here are some photos of my whole collection of DKNY Be Delicious fragrances.

Vera Wang Princess Revolution!

In the world of perfume this one seems like it's definitely worth a mention.
Vera Wang's Princess Revolution is described as a floral fruity scent with top notes of black cherry, blood orange and watermelon sorbet. The heart notes are lily of the valley, jasmine and red apple blossom. The base notes are Atlas cedar wood and amber wood. 

It sounds like a fragrance that has plenty of bite and I quite like the scribbled designs on the bottle. Hopefully this will bring something new and different to the Princess collection!

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.
