My Favourite Perfumes

I have my eye on a couple of new perfumes at the moment (including Giorgio Armani's new fragrance Si), but before I splurge on a £60 perfume, I thought I would do a little round up of my favourite ones. 

I am a huge fan of Marc Jacob's perfume, but I really don't like his new one, Honey. It's a bit too sickly for me, gorgeous bottle though as always! I have three of his right now, which I have been using over the last year or so.

First up is my fave, Lola. This fragrance is so beautiful and elegant. it's a slightly more grown up perfume for Marc Jacobs and when I wear it, I cannot stop sniffing my wrists! The bottle is stunning too, a gorgeous big floral applique lid and a feminine purple bottle. This is one perfume that I will repurchase again and again as it's so lovely to wear and so distinctive.

 Next up is Marc Jacobs perfume number 2, Daisy Eau So Fresh. This is similar to Daisy but I actually prefer it. I was sent it to review just before my wedding (2 years ago) and it is such a big bottle, I still have a bit left. It's pretty and fruity with hints of rose and plum. So sweet.

Final Marc Jacobs is Dot. I fell in love with the bottle then the perfume. It's such a cute bottle, you have to have it on your dressing table! A cheeky, sweet smell of berries and orange blossom, this perfume cheers you up just by spritzing it on.

Finally, 2 products of the same scent. I picked up Sarah Jessica Parker's debut fragrance Lovely at Duty Free last year and I instantly loved it! It's so different to anything I own. Lavender, orchid and apple martini come from the top and middle notes. It's such a feminine smell and I love wearing it in the evenings for a more sophisticated scent.

I loved the fragrance so much that when I was in TK Maxx a few months ago and spotted the body spritz of the fragrance, I decided to snap that up too. With the same scent, and a similar bottle, this is like an oil, which you spray on and rub into your body. It leaves you silky smooth and smelling of the fragrance. Just gorgeous!

So those are my favourite perfumes at the moment. Even when I'm finished with a Marc Jacobs perfume, I can never bring myself to throw out the bottles!

Sarah Jessica Parker in GLEE

Eeeeek!!!!!

Two of my favourite things - fashion and Glee have come together to create an amazing cameo for the fourth season of my fave show.

None other than style icon Sarah Jessica Parker is to make a fabulous guest appearance in the latest season of Glee.

In this ground breaking episode, SJP plays the role of Vogue.com editor, Isabelle Wright, who is meeting Kurt, who is a potential Vogue intern.

Naturally, SJP was styled by none other than Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour and her wardrobe features looks by Prabal Gurung, Altuzarra, Belstaff, and Fendi. "It's fashion, but it's not crazy and eccentric" said Parker. "We're doing very strong, simple shifts. It's sexy, hard, and facilitative."

It hasn't been stated how many episodes SJP will appear in, so I guess we'll just have to wait until the newest season airs early next year. Boooooooooo!!!

In the meantime, here is a just released clip of the two most fabulous stylista's on TV first meeting. Enjoy x

Lady Gaga's Debut Fragrance

Back in the summer of 2011, it was revealed that super star and mother monster, Lady Gaga was secretly working on a fragrance with a bit of a difference. She had teamed up with Coty - the company that makes Kate Moss and SJP's perfumes, as well as the likes of Chloe and Mark Jacobs - she's in safe hands then!
At the time of the announcement, Coty were unable to reveal much about the perfume, not even a name! Boo!

Then Miss Gaga herself told US Vogue that she will be bringing out her own perfume and it would have elements of...wait for it...blood and semen. O....K... always expect the unexpected with mother monster.

So now, a year later, the perfume is still a big secret, with no further details being released, until now! New information has been released this week with rumours suggesting that the perfume is to be called "Fame" and will not smell like bodily fluids, but more like "an expensive hooker" Fabulous!

Duty Free Purchase

Hello from a very sunny, hot and beautiful Croatia!

We arrived in this stunning country Wednesday lunchtime, and immediately fell in love with Dubrovnik. I won't go into to much, as I want to do a photo blog when I get home, but wow...it's amazing!

I just wanted to share with you my little duty free purchase. Now I think this must have been the first time I ever really took advantage of duty free. I decided before I left that I needed to buy myself a new perfume. I am running very low on my two favourites, Rose by Paul Smith and Daisy by Marc Jacobs, and wanted to try out a new fragrance. I had a quick look around the duty free at Gatwick, and spotted a some amazing deals. After spritzing for a few minutes, I decided to take a chance on Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker. I was bought the body lotion a couple of years ago and fell in love with the smell. Lavender, orchid and amber mingle with apple martini, paper whites and musk, and it creates a truly gorgeous smell.

So, after spotting it had an amazing 40% off - £23 for 100ml, I had to have it! I'm not one for impulse buys, but as I was paying for my perfume, the lady behind the till showed me a little gizmo which is like an atomiser. You can fill it with your favourite perfume, and it's super handy handbag size makes it perfect for carrying around with you, whenever you need a fragrance top up. It cost £7 but I thought it was so cool, I had to have that too!

Here are my purchases. What do you think of Lovely? Have you ever bought a celeb fragrance? Enjoy x

simply remove the cap and pump the fragrance in! amazing!

Oh and just to give you a little taste as to where I am, here's a pic of my on our balcony, over looking the ocean enjoying a glass of complimentary bubbly! Lovely :o) X
