The Weekend Post #16: Sun, Sun, Sun.

Heat wave? Yes please... With the temperate rising I've been spending more time enjoying the sun than I have been blogging recently, so it's just a quick post today. Apart from eating ice-cream (how can you resist an ice cream in hot weather like this?), shopping and carbooting I've been relaxing and getting burnt (nice).

 Had to take a photo of these lovely flowers

Sunset from the other night

I managed to pick up a stunning black and white striped ruck sack from Topshop in the sale for an amazing £10 too!  - I do love a good bargain - and I'm so excited about Maybelline Baby Lips being released here in the UK (finally!). All I need now is a BBQ.

What have you been up to this sunny weekend?

The Weekend Post #11: A New Fragrance



I love buying new perfumes, almost as much as I love walking into Boots and immediately smelling different scents and seeing a wall packed with a huge variety of fragrances. It can be tricky working your way through the wall and I could stand there forever spritzing away and as usual, I left with a handful of sweet smelling cards. Anyway it wasn't until a few days later that I could smell something heavenly lurking in the pocket of my leather jacket, and I pulled out one of the Boots fragrance cards. That was when I fell in love with Stella - the perfume, not actually Stella McCartney - so I made my way back to Boots and made a very quick purchase. I couldn't wait to get my mitts on it.

Summer by Stella McCartney was released earlier on this year and is housed in a beautifully striking bottle. The smell just makes me think of summer (hence the name), it's light and long-lasting. With top notes of frosted lemon and green apple which then fade into a mix of rose and peony, and warm amber to end off with, this ladies and gentlemen is my new scent. I can't describe how delicious this scent really is in a blog post, but its divine, sweet blend of lemon, apple, rose, peony and amber is pure bliss in a bottle.

Will you be trying this out?
