Unfortunately it was a bitterly cold day with howling winds, so we…

This COS Apricot Jersey Top is such a lovely shade of peach and looks ultra comfy for Autumn. Even better, it’s now in the sale! 3. I’m slowly building my jewellery collection…
Bvlgari Jasmin Noir
With the arrival of Autumn, I thought it was time to step away from my usual sweet and girly fragrances which make up the vast majority of my perfume collection, and wear something a little more chic and sophisticated. My choice… Bvlgari Jasmin Noir from Perfume’s Club. A captivating mix of jasmine and gardenia petals with accents of almond and woody notes, I love how different this smells compared to the rest of my fragrance…
