The sweet smell of Love

Currently trying to compile a wish list. I do this quite often when i get bored and the list gets extremely long, I really don't know where I think I'll get the money for all these things but who knows a lottery win may well be round the corner :). So first off is perfumes, I'm a sucker for perfumes honestly its like I cant have enough.

My favourite by far is Vera Wang Princess which I have repurchased 3 times already and am now needing again as my current bottle is absolutely and completely empty..sigh :(i actually cant bring myself to get rid of the bottle (the empty bottle that is). Now this perfume brings back memories of my early college years, seems like such a long time ago. I'm not very good at describing scents but to me its very feminine and flirty although I wouldn't describe it as a sexy scent its more of a sweet scent .LOVE.

My second favourite perfume has got to be Kenzo Amour in the pink bottle! This scent is again very sweet smelling quite floral and maybe has a hint of vanilla. I've purchased this perfume twice (if i like something I'll buy it over and over again).



Another of my faves are the YSL perfumes the older one which is YSL Elle i got this as a gift of my mother :) now this perfume is quite expensive but it also smells quite expensive, this perfume is quite a different scent than the other two I usually wear quite floral smelling scents but when i smelt this perfume I loved it, it was something different and appealed to me at the time. Now this isn't a perfume I would wear every day as I think it is perhaps a tad too strong but when I fancy a change I'll grab this, it makes me feel more grown up. To describe the scent I would say it has a spicy undertone.
The second YSL perfume I have is Parisenne. Again not something i would usually wear but there's clearly something about the YSL perfumes that grabs my attention, they are both very strong perfumes and I think this appeals as I find the more floral perfume scents fade quicker which is very annoying especially once you find yourself re-applying it five times a day (believe me they run out quick). I don't think i can even begin to describe the scent of Parisienne but its definitely a feminine scent, just pop to your closest perfume store and have a smell its very nice :)

Now I have quite a few other perfumes but these are my faves of the bunch and I will most probably keep repurchasing. The wish list I've made contains a few perfumes I've owned before, for example the Escada perfumes. Now I love these perfumes but there quite hard to get your hands on as they seem to bring out a new perfume and the older ones become discontinued. Summer Heat is a must have for me as it reminds me of a holiday i took to Bulgaria in 2005, another perfume I want is the Pacific Paradise perfume pretty much for the same reason it reminds me of summer time I love it when perfumes give you a sense of nostalgia.. ahhh memories :) These are both fruity scents, very young and fun scents which I need for my upcoming holiday!


I have so many things on my wish list I could go on forever but I'l stop with the perfumes for now seen as though this ending up turning into a bit of a review, I did mention my tendency to ramble on didnt I?..so basically the perfume wishlist consists of Vera Wang Princess, Escada Pacific Paradise & Summer Heat, oh and just as an extra Viktor & Rolf Flower Bomb my friend has this and it smells amazing!..

Whats on your perfume wishlist?

A long time coming...


Starting something new is never easy. I've been thinking of starting a blog for quite a while now and finally decided to do it.. Now this first post is probably going to take me just as long as thinking about starting the blog ever took! i tend to overthink things a tiny bit, hmm...and maybe talk a bit too much! I think this will be a good step for me, to write about new things in my life, new ideas, new loves and definitely new purchases, i happen to have a love for fashion and makeup with a capital M!! well obviously i am a girl! Perhaps i should blame this on the "youtube beauty community" as they call it, watching these videos about beauty/makeup/ fashion etc has become a bit of an obsession of mine, who knows maybe my next step will be making my own videos, id love that! but realistically it took me forever to start a blog so i cant see that happening any time soon. Anyway after that ramble i hope your still with me!..so basically this is place for me to talk about whats going on in my life whether it be good or bad, but hopefully good and to share anything and everything, ambitions, dreams, worries, loves, hates etc etc. So heres to new beginnings its about time is all i have to say!
