Perfume

I don't own many perfumes. Two, to be precise. But nonetheless I thought I would show you them. I am no expert on perfumes and all I know I have learnt off my Mum who has a very extensive collection. However, I am a very 'pick it and stick with it' kinda gal when it comes to perfume and the two scents I have are two that i'm sure i will re-purchase should me and my sparing ways ever drain them.

As you can see they are Daisy and Dot by Marc Jacobs. I love, love, love the bottles and I know its shallow but that is a major part in perfumes. I'm not saying anything against classy bottles of Chanel which I also adore, but for me this extravagance bordering on tackiness is great!


Daisy


So, I thought i would look up the notes in this but to be honest I don't personally find them that helpful. Apparently this has notes of strawberries and violets. However like most people until I read about them I wouldn't have said that there were strawberries in there. I would describe it as extremely fresh and floral but a very unique floral scent. It reminds me of grass which sort of makes sense considering that's where you
 find daisies. It makes me feel like I am wearing a cotton dress and walking barefoot through a sunny field.




Dot



Dot is a lot sweeter and stronger than Daisy. It is something that I would probably wear more on a night out or in the Autumn. That said it is still a very fresh scent and could be worn any time. The notes in this one are quite wacky ranging from dragon fruit to vanilla. One scent that I think you can really smell is Orange blossom. Well, I say that but I just think it smells like orange.


Hope you enjoyed the post or at least found it a little bit helpful in some way. xx

Bye for now

And i'm running through the snow towards the sunset...

Sorry if you are sick of my Docs, but I really don't have a very extensive shoe collection and I needed something substantial on my feet because as you can see from the last two pictures it's snowing!! The outfit's pretty simple but I like it nonetheless. My sweater is from Urban Outfitters, as is my skirt. The coat is old stock New Look. I did wear tights but as you can imagine they get very wet in the process of snowman building and I had taken them of by the time these pictures were taken.

I haven't named him yet. Any ideas? Anyway, I must be off! If you live in England then I hope you are also enjoying the snow and if you have a spare moment tonight please pray that i don't have to go to school tomorrow! Ta ta for now darling xx

Wishlist

 

I spend 99% of my time looking at blogs and online shops full of stuff i can't afford so it makes me feel good to make a wishlist, we got a lottery ticket today so you never know, i may own all this stuff tomorrow. Everthing above is from http://www.romwe.com/.

The letter top and the crop top are from topshop and the other two are from a gorgeous site called gigi vintage.

You've the strength of a beast, you're God's master piece

Wow, my first ever outfit of the day. I hope there will be plenty more to come and that the quality of the pictures will improve. There is currently no natural light in my room so I have had to use a good deal of artificial light. I also apologise for my untidy floor. Hope you enjoy xx
