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?

February Favourites 2016!

There are a lot of products that I have been loving this month.

No.7's Beautiful Skin Eye Make-Up Remover is excellent for removing waterproof mascara. I wear waterproof mascara every day so I am pleased to have a product that removes it so easily.

I got Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire last month and I have been loving it. It has a lovely, deep tea note in it. It's become one of my favourite scents.

My MAC 217 brush is probably my favourite brush for applying and blending eyeshadow. Whenever I introduce a new brush to my collection I always end up going back to this one.

I have used up most of my EOS lip balm now and I absolutely love it. I will definitely have to buy another EOS lip balm. It is my favourite lip balm that I have ever used.

I love my MAC blush. I bought it in shade Melba, which is my current favourite cheek colour. It looks great on.

Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It is a great facial scrub and mine has been getting a lot of us this month.

I have a purse spray of Avon's Strictly Ballroom Beauty eau de toilette, which has a lovely, light floral scent. I have had this in my handbag this month and I love the scent. It is so uplifting and the purse spray is so handy to carry around with you.
I also have the full size bottle of this fragrance.

Finally I have been using Dove's plum and sakura blossom body wash. I have used this one several times before and I love the scent of it. It is really creamy and moisturising as well.

I Love Steve Madden Shoes!

I love Steve Madden shoes and there are loads of lovely designs on the website at the minute.

Here are a few of my favourites. I think the boots are my overall favourite. They are so cute.

I also spotted these shoes on the website which reminded me of the box for Jimmy Choo's Exotic 2014 fragrance. Don't you agree?

5 LBDs

I am loving black at the moment. I'm usually up for a bit of colour, but nothing can beat a black dress for me at the moment. They are just so easy to dress up or dress down.

I spotted this Valentino dress which I love the cut of. Although I'm not the biggest fan of butterflies on everything, I think this dress is nicely done, but at £2000.00 I don't think I'll be making the purchase!

I love this collared, lace dress from Zara (£35.99). I love the lace sleeves.

I also love this dungaree dress from New Look for a very casual look. It is just £22.99.

Another Valentino dress that I really like is this black scalloped hem dress with a lace yoke. It is more affordable than the butterfly dress at £1355.00.

My final little black dress of choice is another black lace dress. This one is £24.99 from H&M.
