summer fragrance

Two summers' ago, my summer fragrance was Escada Moon Sparkle (kinda like a sickly sweet fragrance) but since then I've grown up slightly and flit between Miss Dior Cherie, Marc Jacobs Daisy, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh and Paco Rabonne's Lady Million (I used a sample and loved it).

My top summer fragrances from these are the two Marc Jacobs fragrances. You may well ask the question as to why I would have two of the same variant (in Marc Jacobs Daisy and Daisy Eau So Fresh) but the two do have some differences. For me, Eau So Fresh is a more long lasting and summery fragrance than Daisy is. Daisy is perfect for those not so hot but sunny days whereas, for me, Eau So Fresh is more for the very summery days.

Either way, I love both.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh

Marc Jacobs Daisy (normal one):

Not much difference in the bottles as you can see but I promise you that they do smell different! Also, big bottles cos my sister and I share perfumes!

what's in my bag #5

Haven't done one of these in a while! A lot has changed since my last 'what's in my bag' post back in October. (the 6th one in November didn't seem to work? Will correct sometime in the near future though).

What's in your bag? Feel free to do a post on what is in your bag and leave me a link in my comments so I can have a look too! I love seeing what other people have in their bags so I can come to the realisation that I have too much/could add more to it!

homemade paperclips!

I made some paperclips using some craft stuff I found in my local W Boyes (a store that sells odds and ends it seems). They certainly brightened up my revision! Here are a few pictures to show them off.

currently craving...

If only I had a tenner to spare (as Harrods is only down the road and within a ten minute walk)...

My friends got me some Laduree Macarons for my 20th birthday and I have to say, I was touched because they all knew how often (i.e. not often at all) I get to eat these delights! The flavours in the selection box were (from left to right): pistachio, raspberry jam, coffee, vanilla (my personal favourite), lemon and dark chocolate.

They were heavenly.
