Hi everyone!
I wanted to try L'occitane products for quite some time now, as I always heard good things about them! I must say it took me a while! I always was passing by, trying to smell the products, but they never really sold me! and so I just tended to ignore them!
Anyway I finally got some of the 'Amande' almond range products and I'm totally obsessed! With skin/body care I'm all about stuff that smells good! I can't stand putting products on my face or body that don't have a nice smell, and I must say this smell is just so beautiful/luxurious it makes you feel like you're in a spa! I don't know how I could live without it now! I did a post about my favourite body care a while back, and I still like the Laura Mercier body products, but I must say this is just on another level! My new favourite by far!......
Thanks for checking.

Hi everyone!
I'm in the UK visiting my family, and I must say I thought it would be a little bit warmer, but it's super cold! It's still nice and sunny, but it's like 10 degrees! Anyway I'm kind of pleased about it as I can still rock my boots! :) I love them so much, they are extremely comfy.
I don't own any dark blue items, so I got this very cute jacket from Zara. It has a quite thick material, so it's good for the weather. To make this outfit look a bit more fancy I wore these super cute leggings from The Kript.
Thanks for checking.

Hi everyone!
A lot of you have asked me what are my favourite brushes to use for makeup! So I decided to do a post of my current favourites! I must say brushes are one of the most important things in makeup application, if you have bad quality brushes, then your makeup won't look as perfect as it could look and it usually takes even more time to do it! Of course not everyone wants to buy the most expensive brushes, but these days there are so many companies that sell great quality brushes for affordable prices! For me I love good quality brushes! I love to invest in them as I know they will last me for a long time! I'm a sucker for soft and cute brushes! If I see a different shape of a brush that I don't have, I immediately buy it, as I always want to find something better! So far some of my favourite brushes are from Mac, Tom Ford and Make up For Ever!
If you want affordable and amazing quality brushes I would definitely check Sigma , Makeup Geek , Real Techniques and Morphe Brushes. They are amazing!
I have about 100 brushes now and I did have even more!, but I gave some to my sister! I constantly buy new ones as I just love them! It's a serious problem actually! there are so many brushes I would love to try like Hakuhodo brushes, as they are super luxurious! But so far I'm very pleased with my brushes and I love how they work and how they make my makeup application fast and easy.
Below are my daily brushes that I use and take with me everywhere! I also have some other brushes to show you that are slightly more affordable and have great quality! I won't be showing you my whole collection as it's too much!, but here are the ones worth talking about!

Hi everyone!
I've been wanting to do a denim on denim look for as long as I remember! The only thing that was holding me back, was the fact that I'm not a big fan of the actual colour of the denim that everyone is wearing. This dull / old fashion jean colour! I don't know why, but I don't like it! I looked at the denim tops always and I never found one that I liked and which matched with the type of jeans I like.
Well I finally found the perfect denim combo! This light colour denim is very sexy in my opinion and it just looks better. I absolutely love it! I got both of the items a few days ago in Zara, so they have it in store! I wore it with nude heels and a nude bag for a simple, classy look, but you can totally rock this with statement colored heels! I'm badly in need of some colourful heels in my closet!
Thanks for checking.

Hi everyone!
Zara is probably one of my favourite high street shops, as they always have great stuff!
The other day I went to check out the new collections and I saw this dress! I didn't know want to think of it at first, as the print and colour is definitely not totally my style, but I really liked the design, how short it was and just overall cuteness of it! So after trying it on, I was obsessed! Here I decided to pair it with simple nude accessories.
Thanks for checking.

Hi everyone!
Yesterday I went for a lovely Friday Brunch and here's what I wore! I went with a casual / comfy look. I just got a new white waist coat from Mango, so decided to pair it with some ripped jeans I also recently got from The Kript.
I love this type of look! if it's a blazer or a blouse!, I feel like it's always very classy and sophisticated.

Hi everyone!
I've always loved Escada perfumes, they are very sweet and fruity, super light and also quite affordable! I think I might have found a perfume that actually smells like Benefit Bathina oil/body balm! If you saw my review about it, you will know that I said I want a perfume like that!, because I love the smell so much! Well this perfume reminds me of that smell so very much! It's quite amazing actually!
The perfume is described as ''delicious, luxurious and purely feminine, designed for playful, spontaneous and glamorous women of today'' I totally agree with this description, I love how fresh and fruity it is!
The main notes of this fragrance are pear and ambrette (musk mallow). Middle notes are Ylang-Ylang, rose and water notes. Base note is musk, which is very soft. I can very much smell the pear and rose in this composition, it's quite beautiful, and it's definitely one of my new favourites! It's so delicate and classy, but sensual and sexy at the same time!
The longevity of this perfume is moderate I would say, but I like that for the day, and the bottle is quite compact so you can easily take it anywhere with you.
Thanks for checking.

Hi everyone!
Here's an outfit of the day I wore yesterday! I don't know why, but I just love my neutrals! Nude colour is super classy and very sophisticated. I wore my favourite midi skirt from River Island, which is just so elegant! I wore it before, but in that post I paired it with a t shirt. This time I went with a lacy crop top from The Kript! It has a nude lining, so it matched great together with the skirt! I know there is a bit of a nude 'over load' going on here!, but that's how I like it!
Thanks for checking.

Hi everyone!
Purple is not my first colour of choice, especially when it comes
to makeup! But that's one of the colours which looks best with green eyes! It instantly makes them 'pop'!
I don't ever wear colour on my eyes, I'm very much into my neutrals. I don't mind a little colour in my waterline, or just a pop of colour on the lash line, but I finally decided to get out of my comfort zone and create a 'full on' purple eyes! I must say I loved how it came out! and from now on I will try and do more colourful looks! They are just super fun and bold!
For my eyes I used mainly one colour from Urban Decay Vice 2 palette called 'Betrayal' it's a beautiful purple shade with a little bit of blue! It's very sparkly too! I basically used that all over the lid and I added some of that darker purple on the lower lash line and crease. I also added Anastasia Beverly Hills shadow in 'Sienna' and 'Orange Soda' to warm up this look a little! Of course for such bold eyes I will always go for nude lips and here I used one of my light nudes from Charlotte Tilbury. All the products details along with some more pictures are listed below!

Hi everyone!
Today's look of the day is very sophisticated but pretty simple. I'm wearing one of my favourite t shirts from Dead Legacy, which is super cute and girly. I decided to pair it with a simple white pencil skirt and some rose gold accessories!
Pairing a t shirt with a pencil skirt gives a very classy look, but still a little casual and laid back. I love it!

Hi everyone!
If you know me, you know I love colours! Today I felt a little pink! I was looking through my clothes and I found this very cute top I got a really long time ago! I instantly thought of pairing it with a pencil skirt, as this top is quite loose and long. I went with a 'pop of colour' Bebe skirt, as I loved these colours together! On camera they kind of look different, but in real life the fuchsia colour on the top looked very similar to the skirt. Anyway I thought it was a nice colour block!
I also tied my hair in a pony and added some more pink to the mix! I wore this gorgeous liquid lipstick from Laura Mercier called 'Orchid Pink' and that's where this blog post name came from! ;)

Hi everyone!
'See' by Chloe is one of my favourite perfumes out there! I recenly got a chance to try out the new Chloe fragrance - Love Story! It launched in September last year, so it's still quite new. It has a similar feel to the other Chloe perfumes and I really like it! It's a very fresh, floral clean fragrance. I love it for day time!
The main note is Neroli which makes it very fresh, middle notes are orange blossom and stephanotis (jasmine). It's base notes are musk and cedar.
It has a very feminine feel! and it lasts quite well on me. I also adore the bottle, inspired by the love padlocks in Paris!, it's very classy and I love the fact that it has my name on it!! :D
If you love those clean scents, then you will definitely love this one! It's super wearable and not too overpowering. I think the name suits this perfume perfectly! A true Love Story... <3

Hi everyone!
Here's an outfit I wore today! I love wearing jeans with blazers, it's one of my favourite looks! I always think it's very classy and sophisticated, but still has that casual feel to it! The River Island blazer I have had in my closet for quite a while! - it's very light weight, so it's great to wear on a warm day like today and not 'over heat'.
Thanks for checking.
