Favorite Perfumes ✰

What girl doesn't have a collection of perfumes lined up on her dresser, here are just a few of my favorites ✌ 

Diesel Loverdose and Dolce&Gabbana rose the one

Beyonce Heat and Dolce&Gabbana L'imperatrice 3

Diesel Loverdose; My bottle is empty now but I just thought it defiantly needed a mention, this was a perfume bought for me in duty free. I thought i'd include this quote I found on it "Diesel Loverdose allegedly possesses molecules that stimulate lust and attraction" ;) When I got this perfume I didn't think it was for me but it really grew on me. It's not a smell I would typically go for but in a way I loved it for that. It smells like vanilla, jasmine and slightly liquoricey (in a good way). Perfect for those who just want a lighter smell which is more softer. I think its priced around €60.

Dolce and Gabbana rose the one; This was another perfume I got in duty free. This smell for me is very feminine and pretty. It's a mild floral smell with the hint of rose. Defiantly a recommend for those girly girls.  Priced around €58.

Beyonce Heat; I had smelled this perfume a few times, and then one day I was in a chemist and saw that it was only €25 and that included a lotion so I decided to buy it then. "floral, musky, fruity, sweet, almond' aromas are said about the perfume. I would say its fruity but musky aswell with a hint of vanilla. I really love this smell and defiantly recommend. 

Dolce and Gabbanna L'imperatrice 3; This is one of five perfumes in the Anthology collection and was said to be named after Naomi Campbell. I don't know what the fascination is with her, but the perfume is amazing though. I first found out about this perfume as one of my friends was wearing it and I fell in love with the fruity smell. I'm on my second bottle of this and the smell will just never get old to me. It's said to smell like 'watermelon, kiwi, lemons, jasmine, pink cyclamen and musk.' I can't really pin point one particular smell only that it's very very sweet and some people may not like that but I defiantly would repurchase this again and again. Another duty free person but priced around €65.

Playing iPhone Dress Up

Since the iPhone 5 came out this week I decided to write a related fashion post. Ever since the iPhone came out in 2007 everyone is gone on a iPhone craze, this craze not only included large variety of apps to dress up your phone on the inside but also on the outside with all kind of covers. From jelly to hard covers we have seen them all, priced from 100 euros to 1.49...

Everyone who has an iPhone wants to keep it safe, although you may think insuring your precious is enough it kind of isn't so this is where the cover craze comes in.

Now accessorizing doesn't only mean matching a necklace or a bracelet to your outfit but an iPhone cover. We are gone iCrazy for them... Pinterest and Instagram have brought the craze to a new level, people posting new and funky covers to show of to the iFans.

I have an iPhone myself and have gone through 3 covers in a year, yes that might seem like a lot to people who dont dress up their phone in pretty covers but its actually very little. Many people now have a variety of covers to choose from and change them weekly even daily!

Its mad what people pay to put a cover on their phones. Reading online about these expensive covers I found a blog about the most expensive iCovers exceeding price up to 100,000!!!! http://www.mostexpensiveofthings.com/most-expensive-iphone-case.html  iCrazy. 

If your a more simple person that wants your phone to look great for cheap I suggest shopping around markets where they are usually a tenner and have nice variation of designs. The cheaper covers in the Pound Shops or Value Land stores are usually unreliable and will brake, but then again better the cover then the phone. I have found the best places for cheap covers are either the Chinese shops which repair phones, Penneys and H&M...

I went for a stroll around the shops the other day and have found a few new cool covers in Penneys which might tickle your fancy and are only 5 euro!

4 Classic Lipsticks Every Girl Should Have

I was putting the outfits together for the post below on shoes obsession and had picked out four lipsticks to go with the looks, I then noticed the colours and thought I should do a separate post on the four classic colours every girl should have in her lipstick collection. Every girl loves wearing lipstick whether its with a smokey eye look for a night out or just to brighten up your day time look. Here are my four picks that every girl should own.

Creme Cup, Nude Delight, Lovesick Passionate, 01

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain 'Lovesick Passionate'

 I love stains, they are really great for when your out for dinner/drinks and you don't want to be constantly re-applying your lipstick. I tried the other lip stain (can't remember name), it looked like a highlighter. I loved it at the start but then it start to dry up my lips. Priced around €9.00

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick 'Nude Delight'

 This is my all time favorite nude. It's a really creamy nudey/brown shade which is quite moisturising as it states. I love this for day and night looks, because it stays quite matte. Nudes are an all time classic to have for every occasion. Priced around €6.95

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick '01'

 I bought this lipstick are a friend of mine was wearing it and I fell in love with the colour. It's a realy intense matte red which is great for night time. The only thing I would say about this lipstick is the smell, it's not an awful smell but can be annoying for some people. Red is another shade that every girl should have. Priced around €6.95

Mac Cremesheen 'Creme Cup' 

I love this shade, the swatch doesn't really do it justice. For those girls who love their nudes and pinks this is a perfect shade for a little pop of colour. It's really creamy and stays quite matte during the day with a hint of gloss. A definite classic to have in your collection aswell. Priced around €14-€15.

Lovesick Passionate, Creme Cup, 01, Nude Delight

Shoes Lover - Black Obsession

Before I went on my holidays to Prague in July my friend came over to help me pick what night time outfits to bring and heels. As she was looking at my shoes she said 'God how many black pairs of shoes do you have'. Then it was only weeks after when I was clearing out my wardrobes that I noticed, "Yes I do have a lot of black heels". I decided to make a post including my 3 favorite pairs, and some outfits that I have worn them with. I'm not too sure of the exact prices but most heels in New Look are €30 and the wedges from Dunnes Stores were around €20-25.

New Look Heels 

New Look Boots 

Dunnes Stores Wedges

All three shoes mentioned above are my all time favorites and have probably been worn for the majority of my nights out. The heels from New Look I thought were unique and a style I didn't see too much of. The boots from New Look also were a love of mine when I saw one of my friends wearing them and I said I needed to have a pair. The wedges are my favorite from the three, an absolute steal from Dunnes Stores and are so comfortable.

Here are some looks I have teamed the shoes with;

Topshop Black Dress (Sale) 

River Island Black Playsuit

River Island Black Silky Top and River Island Dark Green  Jeggings/Jeans

Topshop Flowery Dress (Sale) 

River Island Black Jegging/Jeans and Penneys Floral Shirt

I love all of these looks are simple and go with all of the above stated shoes.
I'm not too sure of all of the prices, the Topshop dresses were bought in a sale. The River Island jeggings/jeans I think were about €30, the silk top was around €22 and the shirt from Penneys was €13.

Brightening Up Our Winter

Ok so its not winter yet, it surely does feel like that. Its getting cold and dreary, kind of depressing. Was strolling around Temple Bar I was only ment to have a look but on the 3rd floor of Urban Outfitters I peeped into the sale section.

This is what I found and unnecessarily purchased...

Floral Cross Body

Floral Cross Body - Urban Outfitters 

Definitely an unnecessary purchase of the day but its soooooo lovely! The shoulder strap is braided and not as long as most of these messenger bags which is handier. I love anything floral print, its original price was 37 euro!! I would not buy it for that price but when the sale price is only 12 euro, you just cant say no.

Cooperative Crop Solid Button Top

Cooperative Crop Solid Button Top - Urban Outfitters

Crop tops have been so in this summer and they probably wont leave the fashion trend for a while so this is another purchase I am super happy about. I love the detail of the straps on the back and the textured buttons. It will go great with shorts and hight waisted jeans... Originally priced at 33 euro, but on sale only 12 euro! Bargain.

Nude/Cream Lace Dress 

Nude/Cream Lace Dress - Urban Outfitters 

This purchase wasn't mine but I really wanted to add this to the Brightening Up Our Winter post, its so pretty and girly I couldn't help myself but want it too. The lace is not tacky or cheap looking, it has that Tailor Swift look... Original price was 76 euro!! Urban Outfitters aint' cheap but with the reduction to 25 euro it is very much affordable. Plus there is a 10% discount available for students!

I Love Me Some Wedges

So I have been eyeing up these bad boys for ages and have been deliberating whether I need to have skinny minny legs to pull them off, but I think with the right clothes I can. So when I saw them in Next I said sure okay why not, they were €50 which to me is normal enough for a pair of boots and to make it worth it I hope I wear the hell out of them.

I defiantly wouldn't be considered tall but I'd like to think I'm average height, so when I'm wearing these I feel like my legs look longer and better. I'm still looking around to see how to style them and I have seen pictures of them being worn with everything like jeans, dresses, shorts.  Most of these looks are worn with jeans and one with a skirt. I would more likely team them with jeans and tops aswell as I'm not the most adventurous but if I found the perfect dress/skirt to go with them, then I would defiantly venture out.

I picked some looks which I thought would look nice with these wedges, they are pretty simple which is just how I like it :) I would team the looks with an oversized cardigan or blazer and black tights with the dresses.

Dark Red Molly Jeggings - River Island €45.00
White Leopard Bow Girl Print Tank - River Island €25.00
Black Textured Cable Leggings - River Island €25.00
Grey T-Shirt Dress - River Island €40.00

Flower Patch Dress - Nasty Gal €21.04
Black Draped Across Dress- Nasty Gal €44.86
