Magical Delightful Glittery-ness - For Less

Ou La La! Look what I have found!

It really was only a matter of time and someone just had to copy
these ultimate must have sparklies!

You can now get a slightly different version of the aaaaaamaaazing
Silver Glitter and Black Suede Peep Toe Ankle Boots from Miu Miu
from around £550, for only £80 from yours truly, Topshop.

   

I'm not really sure what to think of them, as, to be very honest, Miu Miu's original version is simple shoe perfection; The shape - especially the rounded off back, the heel height, they just look so much more skillfully designed AND you get GLITTER AAAND SUEDE IN ONE SHOE!!!! It's shoe heaven!

What you think about them ! Would you Save and go for the Topshop version or Splurge on the original? x

What A Clever Bean This Is



Can you imagine a world without a nice hot cuppa coffee in the early hours? Certainly not me! Admittedly its not for everyone but I would strongly suggest that you might want to reconsider because you don't actually need to like the taste of it to reap all its beautiful benefits.

A little guilty pleasure of mine is to use the warm grounded coffee that's left after brewing the coffee as a really amazing natural body and face scrub! Simply take a little bit, add a few drops of water should it already be too dry and gently rub it all over your face and body! Should there be any of the actual - drinking - coffee left, I like to mix that into the warm water in the tub as this seems to really do the trick with my skin and hair and leave it ultra smooth and soft.
As you can imagine, especially in the morning, the strong coffee smell will take the rest of any sleepiness that's left in you right out and you'll feel fresh and ready to fight the day!

ATTENTION I do recommend doing this only when you are taking a bath as you will very likely end up with a huuuge mess around the house... And also apply the grounded coffee to exfoliate your skin only at the end of the bathing session as otherwise it will all end up in your hair and is a nightmare to get out (I know what I´m talking about....) !

All welled up

Admittably it was a bit silly of me to bring a piece on winter fashion when in fact actually we have to fight ourselves through the many days of rain and dull greyness before we can even think of building snowwomen, hot chocolate and ice skating... Duh. Please excuse me!

So I dont know how you think about wellies but I love them! Ever since I've been a little munchkin I've been wearing wellies. Pairing them with my favourite lace pluesch dress and a pair of tights, running through the forest or doing garden work, getting everything ruined. Yeah, thats me. I just never got why you have to look dull when you do things like that... ( I was about 7 years old....)

I just can't get enough of them and I personally think they can look really great - not just thinking festivalwise. What do you think of these lovelies?

     

Rainy Days In London

Its that time of the year again...

For some of us it is the favourite time of the year; Cosied up in front of the fire, , hot chocolate, wandering through the first snow and ice skating at night... You have to admit, even if you are a hard core sun shine devotee, it does sound very alluring!

I thought I'd share some of my favourite items to accompany us for the next couple of months:

 

                        

      

My favourite piece has got to be this amazing wooly coat by By Marlene Birger.

Yes, it is a little bit on the pricey site but it certainly is an investment worth the extra couple of pounds! It will it keep you extra warm in the upcoming colder months and you'll be super trendy with the striking leather features over the shoulders and on the sleeves.

The great cut and colour make it a great example of a timeless piece of fashion that you can wear year after year and will always look a 100% gorgeous - guaranteed!

Hypnotise me!

I must admit I seem to have gone into somewhat of a perfume frenzy and just added another little bottle to my drastically growing and growing arsenal of fragrances. It's nothing new and I actually went into the shop having an all together different perfume on my mind but I simply could not resist trying such a pretty little bottle. My new perfume of choice is Hypnotic Poison by Christian Dior!



I have never had a perfume from Dior before and was actually very surprised with this purchase as I usually go for light, fruity scents compared to the heavy, headache causing versions. Also I clearly remember trying this a couple of years ago and didn't like it at all. Now on the other hand it is exactly what I was looking for. I love the vanilla combined with tuberose and a hint of coconut, its heavy but it's a sexy, warm and comforting heavy. Perfect for the day but just as good for a crazy night on the town. It's actually that good that I would count it into my All Time Favourite selection of perfumes!
 I say thumbs up for Christian Dior!

I'd love to know: If you can chose one perfume for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? x
