Update #8

Quick update for y'alllll. : )

# We had the show Celtic Dream at work on Sunday, they're an Irish cast that performed a mixture of songs & dances from Ireland. It was actually really good until the group of guys came out into the audience & made everyone sing, then commented 'Even staff have to sing as well' & pointed to me. How embarrassing. Over 300 Irish loving people, staring at me to sing. I was like.. 'Mmm leaving now..' To add to the embarrassment of that night, I spent half of it walking around with my flies un-done displaying my lovely glittery cupcake underwear to the world. Lovely.

# I still haven't broken my Lent yet! Amazing I know..

# I got my first Easter egg from my friend, Muffin. He personalised it completely, from the box, to the writing on the egg & the tray it was sitting in. So adorable.

# It's another birthday coming up this weekend, my friend Jack is going to be 22, so I'm predicting another heavy night on Saturday - photos to follow as always.

# How was everyone's Mother's Days? I bought my Mum some daffodiles (her favourite flowers) & we spent the day up with my grandparents then I headed off to work in the evening.

# Oh & not forgetting.. I'm seeing JLS this Saturday! I'm SO EXCITED!

Forever Love By Next

Every girl remembers their first perfume, right?
 
Mine was from Avon, in a tiny white plastic-looking tube, about 3 cm high. My mum gave it to me to try when we went out for a family meal one night. I remember it being so strong that I had to wash it off half way through the night as I was convinced people could smell it from the other side of the room & were looking at me funny! After that night, I tended to stick to body sprays for a while..
 
I always thought perfumes were just for posh nights out. Up to a couple of years ago, I would wear my trusty Impulse Body Sprays during the day & then splash out on a perfume if I was going to a posh meal or event. (Which happened once every couple of months). Now, I have a perfume for the daytime & one for evening wear.
 
Of course, finding the perfect perfume isn't an easy task. I remember going with my best friend to Boots, trying every scent on a tester & getting her to sniff them all to chose her favourite. Obviously a completely pointless exercise as she chose totally different ones to me..
 
I wanted to show you my new favourite daily perfume. I got a gift card for Christmas to spend at Next. I've bought perfumes from them previously & it's a bit mix & match. For a day time perfume, I don't tend to spend a great amount, (as long as it smells nice, doesn't matter how cheap it is) & Next perfumes are very reasonably priced.
 
So, here's the one I chose. It's called Forever Love.
 

Obviously, it is the smell that matters the most, (nobody gets to see the bottle when your wearing it) but I won't pick up a bottle to sniff it unless it has a girly, pretty edge. I absolutely love this bottle. How cute is the little heart, bow & shape?! Adorable.
 
Anyway, like I said, the most important part about a perfume is the smell. On the box, this is how it is described:
 
"A romantic floral fragrance with fruity top notes leading to a pretty floral heart of rose petals & magnolia with a white musk & amber base."
 

It is such a gorgeous sweet scent & not over-powering at all. If you love floral, sweet scents, you'll adore it.


It only costs £10 from Next, (you can view it or order it online here) they also do a smaller size bottle, but this is the large, holding 75ml. I think the smaller one retails at £6.


Do you have a favourite perfume? & wear different ones for day & night?

* Please note - I didn't get asked or paid for to write this review.

OOTD - Plain Leopard

It was such a gorgeous day yesterday, I just couldn't resist taking some photos with Honey.








Shirt - Charity shop / Skirt - Primark / Leggins - Tesco / Shoes - Tesco / Necklace - Ebay / Rings - Topshop & Primark / Bracelet - Present / Nails - Barry M Crackle

The last two photos make me laugh, Honey trying to creep in the shots, so adorable. : )

As you can still, I'm still obsessed with leopard print. I got those pumps for Christmas a couple of years ago now from my Mum, they are so adorable but are so painful. I can only wear them if I know I don't have to walk very far in them. The skirt I got just before my birthday, only £4! Seen it in New Look for about £10, so if you want a cheap one, go to Primark. It's gorgeously soft.

Today is quite a lazy day for me, I'm off to work later, going to have to sit through John Carter.. not sure if I'm too excited about that but we'll see. : )

Hope you're all well!

I bought my dress about 3 years ago from one of those shops that appears for about 6 months, then disappears! Everyone was asking where it was from & I had no idea.. Lol. My necklace is from Accessorize & my earrings are from Topshop.

---------------------------------------

Ah & another update, Lent is killing me. Seriously. I've seen so many clothes I want to buy & can't. It's complete torture. So tempted to break it..

& who else has heard this song by Nicki Minaj? Love it so much. : )

Speak to you soon guys. : )
