Valentines Day Special | Perfumes For Her

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!! I know its a bit late but there is always time for some last minute stops. I've picked out a range of different perfumes that I really love along with some that I have not yet tried.

Michael Kor-Cheap smells.com

JLS Kiss-Cheap smells.com

I haven't ordered anything from Cheap smells.com yet but I am very impressed with their affordable prices.

I quite like floral fragrances, so you may notice the bias in the scents I have chosen.

Jimmy Choo - Flash is  a floral fragrance with top notes of 'pink pepper, tangerine, and strawberry'. These give way to the heart notes of 'white flowers and tuberose', before you are left with the musky scent of 'powdery woods'. I think the depth in thois perfume makes it great for a glammed-up evening.

Heat by Beyonce would also make a great evening fragrance. It is slightly muskier but also sweeter than Flash, thanks to its heart notes of ' almond macaroon, honeysuckle nectar and creme de musk'. I love the unique shape and colouring of the bottle. I actually have a funny story about this one (although my sister may not agree with the 'funny' part!) - she had a 100ml Eau de Parfum bottle of Heat, which fell whilst it was still very new. The glass broke and the whole bottle spilled into her bedroom carpet. Her room did smell lush for days, but she was absolutely gutted! Anyway, back to the perfumes...

Britney Spears' Fantasy is definitely more of a day time perfume. It has top notes of 'red lychee, golden quince, kiwi' and sweet heart notes of 'jasmine petals and white chocolate orchid', which give way to

'musk, orris root and sensual woods'. The musk is just subtle enough to wear during the day, but still gives a glamorous, girly feel.

Kiss by JLS is a fruity/floral scent, and its top notes of peach skin, loganberry, bergamot, cassis and mandarin provide an energising burst when you first spray it. At its heart is notes of  'jasmine, tuberose, muguet, rose absolute, black orchid, and neroli flower', trailed by base notes of 'amber crystals, white musk, patchouli, and oakmoss'. This is a great option for a daytime fragrance if the sweet, feminine notes of Britney Spears' Fantasy are not to your taste.

I have not yet had the pleasure of trying the Alexander McQueen, Michael Kors or Tulisa (random, I know) fragrances, but as you can probably tell, I love perfumes and would like to try them soon.

Have you tried any of these perfumes? What do you think of them?

Wednesday Wishes #2

Hello beautifuls! I'm so happy that I remembered to post this post today =] As my birthday was quite recently ( January 27th) unbelievable but true , its becoming hard for me to find things that I really want. But dont worry , I managed to pull out a few things:

I think Studs are a fantastic way to customise any item. They give items that edgy look and give you the pride of saying , i did that myself!

I absolutely adore this Fur Jacket, not only does it look totally snugly , it is a change from the standard winter coat.

I think the Creepers are really nice when styled correctly. They are comfortable but fashionable at the same time. I would really like to buy a pair and DIY them with some studs.

I absolutely love the Faux Jeffrey Campbells. The fake ones I have seen normally range from £30-£50 but these are so much cheaper. With faux shoes , I'm really cautious about how comfortable they are going to be but I trust  in companies like Internacionale to make quality comfortable shoes.

I think the Celine Paris T-shirt is a nice monochrome tee with a simple slogan. Its easy to pop over some disco pants and style with golden accessories.

What would be on your wishlist?



Pancake Day Special

Hello my lovelies , seeing as its pancake day , I've decided to do a post dedicated to pancakes! I love pancake day because its just another excuse to stuff your face with pancakes and I absolutely looove pancakes. To get you in the mood , I've searched up a recipe on how to make the most tastiest pancakes:

Ingredients

For the pancake mixture:

• 110g/4oz plain flour, sifted
• pinch of salt ( I don't really see any point of adding it but.. you know...)
• 2 eggs
• 200ml/7fl oz milk mixed with 75ml/3fl oz water
• 50g/2oz butter

Method

1. Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl with a sieve held high above the bowl so the flour gets an airing. Now make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it. Then begin whisking the eggs with a whisk or a fork.
2. Next, gradually add small amounts of the milk and water mixture whilst mixing .When all the liquid has been added, use a rubber spatula to scrape any elusive bits of flour from around the edge into the centre, then whisk once more until the batter is smooth. Now melt the 50g/2oz of butter in a pan. Spoon 2 tbsp of it into the batter and whisk it in.
3. Now get the pan really hot, then turn the heat down to medium . To start with, do a test pancake to see if you're using the correct amount of batter. I find 2 tbsp is about right for an 18cm/7in pan. It's also helpful if you spoon the batter into a ladle so it can be poured into the hot pan in one go. As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter. It should take only half a minute or so to cook; you can lift the edge with a palette knife to see if it's tinged gold as it should be. Flip the pancake over with a pan slice or palette knife - the other side will need a few seconds only - then simply slide it out of the pan onto a plate.
4. Stack the pancakes as you make them between sheets of greaseproof paper on a plate.
5. I serve mine with honey and lemon squeezed on top ( YUMMY). I've heard a few other "weird" toppings so I guess its up to you what you put on your pancake.

I hope you have a fantastic pancake day and make some yummy pancakes



Or to save yourself the fuss, you could buy the ready made batter mix from Asda...

How did your Pancakes turn out? Comment =]



Black & Gold

I know you guys have been waiting very long for this but its finally here! My first outfit posts. I still havent got to grips with people taking photos of me but I will adjust.

Leather Jacket-ASOS

Blouse-Primark

Satchel - Matalan-Sold Out(similar one HERE)

Gold Rings- ASOS

Gold watch- Michael Kors
(but you can cheat with this look-a-like off ebay HERE)

Wedges-New Look

Black and gold go together to create that effortless glamorous look. I think the two colours were just meant to be together! I have teamed a black and gold blouse with a leather jacket and wedged heels. I didn't have to accessorise too much as the gold from the top did most of it for me. I have to admit that the leather jacket is probably one of my favourite items this spring. It gives your outfits that edgy look. Seeing as I was doing a black and gold post , I saw this as an opportunity to get out the MK watch (which looks absolutely beautiful). Apologies that lots of the items are now sold out - they were all bought fairly recently, mostly in the January sales, and it seems I'm not the only one who bagged these bargains! Hopefully you can still get some inspiration from my outfit , and mix and match with items you already have to create your own black and gold look.
As I said before , I will be doing a blog giveaway when my blog hits 40 followers and I know it will take some time but you just have to get following.
Have a lovely week.
