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. 

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.
