My perfumes

Hi lovelies!

I thought I would do a little post on the perfumes that I have and which I love! Im funny about my perfumes, I hate light floral scents, they are not for me! Or scents that smell too citrusy, they make me sneeze uncontrollably, im looking at you DKNY!

I will not go into the whole top notes and base notes details of them all, basically because I dont know what they have and I dont understand it. I love a scent that is luxurious and one spray will last the whole day, so im attracted to heavier, muskier and woody scents. And these are basically my go to scents, I dont have one perfume that my friends would associate me with as they associate all of them with me ha! I definitely spray according to my mood and to the clothes that im wearing, that sounds daft but everything has to work for my whole outfit. I dont want to be wearing a killer outfit that is making me feel strong and powerful with full red lips and sky high heels with a weak, floral scent as it would upset my whole look and depresses me.

So in no particular order I LOVE:

Jean Paul Gaultier classique EDT
Prada Candy EDP (Love this!)
Roberto Cavalli EDP
Girorgio Armani Diamonds EDP (probably the sweeter scent that I own, but I surprisingly like it)
Lacoste Pour Feme EDP (very light, doesnt have great lasting power but its beautiful, like a soft powder)
Ghost EDP
Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb EDT (this is my 'special' scent, already asking for the EDP for my birthday)
Vera Wang Princess EDT

I also own Thierry Mugler Alien that I usually wear daily but that is in one of my many handbags.

And I also love Fan Di Fendi by Fendi, that is a proper grown up scent with undertones of leather that just blew my mind! Mother has bought me that for a gift so I dont own it just yet.

Out of all the perfumes I would have to say that Jean Paul and Vera Wang have been the longest love affairs that I have, they are always put on my Christmas list and have been wearing these since I was 14. The others are definitely becoming my signature scents that I will definitely be buying again, I always get compliments when wearing them which is what everybody wants.

I always carry perfume with me, so its a given that in every of my bags you will find perfume, handcream and lip balm.

I dont have a fancy shelf or dressing table to have them on display unfortunately as my room is too small, so they are kept in a little drawer away from direct light and heat that can ruin the fragrance. I love opening this drawer and having a little rummage of what I should smell like today :)

What do you think of my collection? Do you own any of these scents or what do you prefer?

Lana Del Rey outfit

Lana Del Rey outfit





This outfit has been inspired by the one and only Lana Del Rey. I am going to see her on monday 27th May in Dublin's Vicar street and I cannot wait! I have never been so excited to see hear somebody in my entire life, I have a majassive girl crush on Lana, I like to call her 'my girl'. So I'm hoping that she comes out in a long vintage dress, perfect waves and red lips and just be the old Hollywood-esque siren that she is! I will not be amused if she just sticks on jeans and a top, no Lana let me see glamour! So this is my dream outfit to wear for the night, I actually am in a style rut as to what to wear, I want to make an impact yet I will have to keep in my mind I will be travelling by train and bus so comfort is needed. Ah well, this is my dream outfit complete with diamonds and Christian Louboutins (that I only own in my dreams!) The only part of this outift that can become my reality is this beautiful China Doll Boutique dress at only £45. I love the optic illusion element to it, and obviously its very detailed neckline, it is stunning! And very Lana :) and you can get it right here

what do you all think about my outfit?

Blog sale!

Hi guys! I'm having a blog sale, I need to get some spending money up for my holidays next month so here it goes! I though it would be easier than ebay as I do have a good few things and I will be adding to it. Im not sure how long i'll be keeping it open for but please keep in mind that I will be away from the 18th-25th June. Also, I currently have exams on in uni and teaching practise throughout June, so I will try and post these ASAP but will more than likely be at the weekend. Only open to UK and ROI residents only sorry!
 
 
Ok so everything will be 2nd class p+p royal mail to try and keep costs down.
I will charge £2.40 for each item but for the shoes they will be £4.00 without a box to keep costs down. If you are looking more than 1 item please email me or leave a message below and I will get back to you. I am thinking that if there is more than 1 item that can fit in one package then I will not charge additional prices, but if they need to be divided then I will have to charge extra but I will try everything I can to avoid this. Please email me for a price if you are ROI.
 
For the cosmetics because they are smaller I will only charge £1.00 for p+p, or if you buy an item of clothing and a cosmetic then there will not be an extra charge for the cosmetic.
 
Leave a comment below on what you would like and how many items and I will get back to you asap with the overall price, including delivery. I will also refund if delivery is lower than expected.
 
All necklaces will be £2.00 with a £1.00 delivery charge. If you are ordering more than one, there will be an additional 40p per item.

no7 eyeshadows brand new, never been used. A mixture of colours (sorry this picture doesnt do it much justice) matt and shimer shades, from a light beige, blue, green, brown and greyish black. Sorry but there is no description of the exact shades given.  £4.50
 
 
 









asos size 12 white tulip dress, BNWT. In perfect condition, there is a slight black marking that I have taken a picture off, but it is not very noticeable and Im sure that it will come out in the wash. Beautiful shape, quarter length sleeves, nips in at the waist with a voluminous bottom half and a tiny splt at the back. Very 1960's. it is quite see through however. Bought for £30, will sell for £15.
 
 
 
 
 
asos size 12 lace corset. this has only ben worn a handful of times, I'd say no more than 4 times if even. Beautiful shape, in perfect condition, zip runs down the front with moulded cups for support. Will sell for £8.

 








 

 
a pair of Pull and Bear oxblood leather look trousers. These are so ROCK N'ROLL! Size 12, skinny leg with low waist. zips at the bottom of each leg. Brand new with tags, these were bought on sale (£19.99 were originally £29.99 as the tag says) will sell for £13.
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
size 14 Lipsy dress. This was bought about 3 years ago at over £100, and it has only been worn twice. For my pre-formal and one New Years a few years ago, Ive never found an appropiate occassion to wear this dress as it is a beautiful cocktail dress. The coulours are a mixture of blues, greys and silevers to this beautiful sea like effect, the only way I can describe it. I had red hair at the time and I always felt like a mermaid in it, daft I know! Gorgeous boned strapless design, really pulls you in and gives support. Some pleats that gives a sligh peplum effect. the layered effect of this dress is just beautifula and is very flattering on. It is difficult to describe and these images do it no justice, but trust me it is beautiful! In perfect condition and is like new,  it has been in my wardrobe with a plastic covering. I will sell this for £30 but I am open to any offers. A size 14 but I would say it would fit a 12.





 


 

  

H&M bag shorts. Size 12. In excellent condition, high waisted with turn ups on each leg, and a belt to be tied into a bow. will sell for £5.

 
 
 



 
 
A gorgeous Mad Men style top! Peplum in style with a beautiful metallic finish. It is hard to describe the colour, in one light it looks like an off white metallic but with a silver sheen to it. Bought in Dunnes stores for £15, will sell for £6.00. A side zip and decorative buttons to the back, I loved this but did not fit. Even though its a 12 I would say it would fit a 10 also. There is a slight make up stain that I have only noticed, but once washed this will come out.
 
 
 



 
A pair of black jaquared print trousers. Size 14 from Dorothy Perkins from the Lux line. Only worn 12, too baggy for me to get the desired fit. A slim leg, high waisted with gold zip detailing, they look so expensive and give such a luxurious feel to any outfit. I would say that they would be a regualr length, so 32" on the leg but these are not exact measurements!! Will sell for £8.
 
 


 
 
Pair of Stylistpick Britt black wedges that are SOLD OUT ONLINE! RRP £45, size 6. I will sell these for £20 (Also open to offers). Remember that they will not be sent with a box to keep costs down. They are too high for me, brand new as you can see, still with stickers. they have just been worn around the house.
 

H&M pink skirt, size 14. I love this skirt, a real mini skirt in length, unfortunately my legs aren't what they used to be :( well loved but in excellent condition so will sell for £4.00.
 
 


Asos geometric print skirt size 12. In excellent condition, 2 large pockets on the side and is a mini skirt. Will sell for £4.00

New Aldo Rise by Preen shoes

Hello darlings!

It has been a long, long time since I last did a post but I have been super busy with essays and exams, may is a killer for me currently in uni. I have also booked a holiday for June in Portugal so I'm really looking forward to that :)

Anyway I thought I would share with you these beautiful shoes that I got for an absolute bargain!! These Aldo Rise by Preen heels for only £17 reduced from £135! What a bargain! This is probably the best bargain I have ever found! They are absolutely stunning and so comfortable to walk in so they are the perfect choice of heeled sandals to bring with me away on holiday.

I love the print and how futuristic they look especially with the block heel, and they are also white so very on trend for this summer! I'm also waiting on a delivery from H&M with a few bits and bobs I got on the sale totaling only £30 including bikinis, dresses and accessories with a few handy codes! So once they arrive I'll do a big haul on my new purchases :)

I am currently on the job hunt and have handed out countless CV's to no avail so far, so im constantly on the hunt for a cracken bargain!

Happy Friday everybody!
