Make you...roar

 

Vest: Topshop   Jeans: Primark (DIY cut offs)   Trainers: River Island   Sunglasses: Primark   Belt: Primark   Rope bracelet: H&M   Bead bracelets: Topshop

Bit of a change to the soft and elegant dress of the previous post!!! Have few more images from Ibiza to share, these were taken just before going to the Ibiza Rocks hotel to see Tinie Tempah perform, (as said in a previous post, closed toed footwear is definitely the way forward!). Never underestimate the greatness of a Primark "sale", these sunglasses were a pound and the best things could've had for hol, stood out, not fussed if got damaged and ultimately not bothered when the bf eventually stole them! Oh to be back in a climate when it is still warm enough to wear this once the sun has gone down! 

I don't know if it necessarily kicked off from this outfit but seem to be drawn to all things animal print at the moment. Not just like the repetitive patterns of little dogs on jumpers but like the obscenely oversized images, for example I think I am going to have to hunt down this tee, here, from River Island's mens section and the wolf jumper, here, that I'm sure I saw in the mens, not just the boys, section. Both to be worn oversized with shorts or skater skirt and ankle boots. On the tiger theme also seen this dress, here, from Topshop. Equally to be worn in a more dressed down way with denim, or plaid, shirt and scuffed ankle boots.

Penhaligon's...press event

Dress: Primark

As said in the previous post, at the end of last week I attended a small gathering in Harvey Nichols personal shopping department for the launch of their new Peoneve fragrance, a scent that is trying to capture 'an English garden in summer'. This is to be complimented with the Peoneve Collins cocktail, a blend of William's gin and bespoke tea flavours, all mixed in the traditional glass bottles (see above, there was a bit of daring as to who could finish off the larger one!). These will be available at the Harvey Nichols bar up to 31st August.

Fragrance has never really been something I have thought too much about, generally you smell a smell you like and wear it as a perfume, but talking to the Penhaligon's specialists as they describe what goes into each scent made me pick up on things you don't think about and what to wear for different occasions, if you want to be calm, if you want to be noticed when entering the room or have something memorable when you leave it! Going through the fragrance profiling (think they got bit sick of me as couldn't make up my mind on what I liked best, sampled most of the two tables of perfumes), I was determined as fitting an elegant, jasmine based scent, that is soft, subtle and has lasting impact...not too sure if that is entirely accurate to me but was definitely a lovely smell!

Walk...in the park

Dress: River Island   Sandals: Zara   Bracelet: H&M

Took some other photos previously when I did this post, here, as thought this dress would work really well with the Zara sandals (still my favourite purchase of the summer, as I'm sure they are for many from the amount of images I have seen with them!). The look reminded me of a similar one, here, from Matthew Williamson. Just maybe not in such a glamourous setting as theirs!!!

Got some photos to work on from an event last night at Harvey Nichols, spent the evening  sipping bellini's and scented cocktails in their personal shopping area, decorated with gorgeous peonies and equally delicious macaroons, whilst sampling the latest fragrance from Penhaligon's, Peoneve. Their lovely staff also completed a fragrance profile to see which one of their many titles would suit you best, mine was Eau Sans Pareil, a blend of bergamot, jasmine and many other scents that you don't realise until they are pointed out to you. Did spend rest of evening looking a bit strange constantly smelling my wrist but definitely not too bad for a Thursday night! 

Ibiza...diary

Just few quick diary images from the week just gone in Ibiza. Didn't get images from all week due to the incident with my camera (mentioned in previous post) but have got some more images from the night at Ibiza Rocks to post still.
