Jimmy Choo | Flash.

Thursday 18 January 2018

Every Christmas my mum buys me a perfume. From Morgan (way back in my school days), to Marc Jacobs to YSL. She really does know what she is doing when she picks a new scent to add to my collection. Picking a fragrance can be a really personal thing, so it is lovely to know my mum knows what to get me and I have never been disappointed. I wanted to share this years pick as it is deffo up there with my favourites. Flash by Jimmy Choo is created from sparkles of pink pepper, tangerine and strawberry. The middle notes are made up of white flowers and tuberose with base notes of white wood and heliotrope. Basically it is sweet and floral, which is my favourite kind of scent. I only use about 3/4 sprays of this perfume in the day, which is nothing for me. I am the kind of gal to spray it everywhere, my clothes then my hair, my outerwear then a few sprits in the air just to walk through. But this one lasts all day and I still get whiffs of it at the end of the day. Sorry, I couldn't think of a nicer replacement for whiff, haha.


Can we just talk about the bottle for a minute too. The textured, cube shaped bottle looks so chic sat on my dressing table, especially with the mix of silver and lavender tones in the glass and metal work.
I think you can find this perfume relatively cheap, I have researched online and found prices ranging from £20-£60. That is depending on size of the bottle and where you get it from. I still love my other Jimmy Choo perfume (I think it is just called Jimmy Choo) but this is a nice floral alternative. 

What is your favourite perfume?



December Favourites.

Sunday 14 January 2018

It's not too late for my December faves right? I feel like the month of December just revolves around Christmas so even mentioning it makes me shiver a bit. I am just going to share anyway. 
My first favourite is the Stilla stay all day liquid eyeliner. I feel like everyone knows about (and loves!)  this already but I didn't understand until I tried it for myself. This product makes wing liner easy peasy, no joke. I just use the tip of the pen to line my lid, then press the whole nib against my skin to create a perfect flick. That doesn't really make sense but just buy it and you will understand how it works. I wear liner everyday so it makes getting ready in the morning that little bit faster and it stays put until the end of the day.



My next favourite is the colour red. This is very unusual for me as I am an avid black wearer, maybe grey at a push. BUT for some reason I am just drawn to the colour at the minute. I have been loving a baggy red jumper that I picked up from H&M but I can't seem to find it online anymore. So, I am sharing my next rouge love, a beautiful rich toned scarf from Laura Ashley. It is so warm and thick I could honestly live in it. It does shed a little though, which is a bit annoying as I tend to be leaving a red fluff trail everywhere. Whilst we are on the topic of fashion I thought I'd share my favourite jumper. This isn't on the H&M site either (sorry!) but I did find one very similar here, it is only a little more than I paid too (I got mine for a steal at £12). Its great to just throw on with some leggings and loafers for a semi-stylish but comfy look.

I don't think I have ever done a favourites post this long before, but we are on to the last thing you'll be happy to know. 
I have been really into interior magazines lately. Not any one in particular, I just flick through the ones on the shelves and if I like the look of the content I'll buy it. I have been decorating my bedroom so any inspo has been massively helpful. I am loving the whole, mid century modern/Scandinavian style and looking through the mags has really helped me achieve that kinda look in my bedroom. I am hoping to finish it pretty soon so then I can give you a little look into my new space.

I could go on all day and night but I best stop there before I bore you all. What has been your most recent favourite?
