Update | New Layout, 100th Post and Future!

You may or may not have noticed the new layout! I'm still not completely happy with it (I don't think I ever will be haha) but as it's the season to be jolly and more important glittery, I thought I'd add a touch of glitter to my blog!

In other news, I just realised that my recent (and crappy) blogpost about Marc Jacobs perfume was actually my 100th post! So happy 100th post to me! :)


didn't know what picture to put here so I thought I'd add a recent instagram picture

Posts I'm planning on doing:

Christmas gift ideas - guys and girls

Christmas Card making!

Red lipstick - tips, review: market vs high street vs high end

lots of Christmas wishlists and OOTD

Marc Jacobs quick review: Daisy and Dot

I wanted to do a quick post on Marc Jacobs perfume. I'm no expert and I've only ever owned Daisy by Marc Jacobs, however I recently discovered his new fragrance "Dot" and it is perfect.

These are the bottles for Daisy by Marc Jacobs that I have owned, however I know there are more variations out there and according to the lady in House of Frasier there's a new one every year. I first received this perfume a few Christmases ago and although it is no use me describing the smell, it is very fresh and floral however with a hint of "grown up".

The bottles for any Marc Jacobs perfume are always so cute and classy, and that is what drew my attention to new (I think) fragrance Dot! A bonus is the scent is lovely too, I think I even prefer it to Daisy (shh don't tell her).

The price range for Dot ranges from £37 - £63 and I think they only do it it Eau de Parfum (which is the only way in my opinion).

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

I'm hoping one day to do a more informed and wider ranging perfume post to make up for this uninformative one. This post was mainly just because I was so excited about the packaging and the smell being divine!
