POTW: Marc Jacobs Daisy Delight - Limited Edition Fragrance

Hello! 

"Marc Jacobs is known for their packaging, and this one did not disappoint!"

Out of all the POTW series so far, there's been lipgloss, shoes and even deodorant, but there hasn't really been an appearance of perfumes... Well, today's the day! 

"'A luminous bouquet of fresh picked florals', the scent did not disappoint either"

Lucky me received this beauty as a present and I couldn't be happier! Not only is it limited edition, so won't be forever available to buy, but it's also incredibly pretty. Marc Jacobs is known for their packaging, and this one did not disappoint! 

"can see it becoming a favourite scent"

Described as 'A luminous bouquet of fresh picked florals', the scent did not disappoint either. If you know me, you'd know that DKNY Be Delicious is my go-to fragrance, and knowing that a top not of Daisy Delight is Apple makes me really happy - it's literally right up my alley and can see it becoming a favourite scent of mine.

"bottle can never fail to make one feel happy!"

Oh, and the bottle can never fail to make one feel happy!

Have you heard of the limited edition Marc Jacobs fragrances - possibly have a favourite?? Share! 

Top Perfumes of 2014

Hello!

Now, if you're like me then you cannot leave the house (or your room) without a little spritz of scent to leave a waft of nice-smelling goodness around you! Whether it be a spicy, sweet, floral or fruity scent - it makes you feel good just spraying it. Okay, maybe that was an exaggeration but it's pleasant when you smell nice!

Well, the point of that was leading on to this: The Top Perfumes of the Moment (in no particular order..)

1. Flowerbomb - Viktor Rolf

I have yet to smell this but I have been eyeing it for a long time! The packing is gorgeous too, and everything seems so glam! Said to be 'a thousand flowers in a bottle'!


2. Lady Million - Paco Rabanne

The fragrance has been famous for a while now and doesn't look like it's getting any less popular. When I was in the lines for the sale shopping I had done, people around me had like 3-4 of these in their baskets and this was AFTER christmas gift exchange-time! Therefore, another one to keep an eye out for! This is said to be a woody floral with fruity undertones.


3. Our Moment - One Direction

To be honest, I'm not a HUGE fan of celebrity fragrances, I mean I won't go out and buy a Lady Gaga perfume because I like Lady Gaga - I would if I liked the scent! This one seems to be really popular right now, though! This is said to be a floral scent with a warm musky undertone.


4. Boss Orange - Hugo Boss

'Crispy Apple, white florals and woody, sandalwood heart' is what this scent is described as. Personally, the thought of having an orange smelling perfume makes me feel sick. I don't like that. You know the scent you have on your hands after peeling a tangerine? Well, I like that but wouldn't want it in a perfume bottle! So, this one is a bit of a weird one for me!


5. Daisy - Marc Jacobs

Ahh, this one is a well heard of one that 'never gets old'. Daisy is said to be 'floral with a vintage edge of violet' and said to be 'elegant and enchanting'. Well, there's two things that makes this sound appealing: the description and the packing. How pretty?!


6. Killer Queen - Katy Perry

Another celebrity fragrance. This one has very interesting packaging - the colour reminds me a bit of 'Heat' by Beyoncé! 'Sexy. Royal. Radiant.' This definitely seems like more of a night fragrance with Dark Plum as one of its' top notes.


7. Viva La Juicy - Juicy Couture 

You might as well be living under a rock if you haven't heard of this one before! The girly and super cute packaging is so nice as well as the fragrance being something to fall for! The scent being 'Wild Berries, Creamy Vanilla and Bright Jasmine' - its a super fun one to go with. I had a sample of this and it is completely used up (unlike my BVLgari one which is still more than half full)!


Well, thats the top fragrances of the moment, great ideas for gifts to anyone… or yourself!
Do you own/love any featured in this list? 
Oh, and HINT HINT: one of these fragrance is likely to be the star of another post coming soon - stay tuned!

Haul: Longchamp Le Pliage

Hello!

I thought I'd write my first haul on this blog for you to see - don't you think it's pretty fun to see what other people buy? Or am I just really nosey like that (...no need to hide it!) ?! Anyway, we have a little festival, called Raksha Bandhan sometime in August where the sisters tie a 'bracelet' around their brother to represent ideas the the sister will care for the brother, the brother returns protection of their sister - we do this every year! As well as that, the sister offers the brother a sweet treat and the brother gives a present - often money.... basically, the girl gets money - yay! haha Who would say no to that?! 

I am the only sister out of 6 brothers. Well, I have one brother and 5 cousins who don't have sisters, so I also tie the bracelet on them - more protection for me! Anyway, so this year I received money, the same as every year, and surprisingly: a present! The present was totally unexpected. It was a gorgeous Bare Minerals gift set! Watch this space for a post if that too...

Anyway, so I decided to invest some of the money I received on a designer bag! I don't really have many big branded bags and wanted to treat myself! I chose the popular Longchamp Le Pliage bag...

I know that everyone and their mother seems to have the Le Pliage, but many people have fake bags and that's one thing I find irritating - I mean, you can buy look-a-likes as much as you want, but if you're going to buy one with the logo of a designer brand yet at a very small fraction of the price, it is likely to be made in sweatshops where people are exploited. Essentially, buying these fake brands we're encouraging sweatshops...
Not only that, the bag would not be as much value as to if we were to save up for the genuine thing!

I chose mine in the colour 'Taupe'. To be honest I was not sure which colour I wanted to purchase - there are a wide range of colours to choose from in the Le Pliage range, seen on the website, and I wanted to invest in one that I would use a lot.

At first I had these colours in mind: Red, Plum, Black, Beige/Cream. I did NOT want the Navy one what-so-ever as they're too common these days! I was torn between a bold colour or a neutral! Hence you can see the split between the colour choices I had.

I went to the store, thinking that the colour I love would just stick out to me - however, as we all know, the perfect bag doesn't just fall out of the sky and land in our shopping baskets - so it wasn't as easy as I thought! Yet, I've got to admit I wasn't too fussy: I asked the shop assistant which she recommended out of the first three I picked up after a quick look at the collection:  Black, Camel and Taupe.

She said that the Camel was very summery, the Black would go with everything but may be too plain and the Taupe is great for all seasons. Instantly my heart fell for the Taupe.

The Taupe goes with many outfits, is a neutral yet not to plain nor too bold - just perfect! I love the material of the bag and moreover, I love that I know it's genuine - and I'll use it loads.

Additionally, it is so practical! I bought the large as all my college work fits in with ease as well as if I don't need it I could fold it up and out of the way! LOVE, LOVE and LOVE!

So, tell me, what colour would you pick?
