Hot Hot Hot

It's been a few weeks since my last blog post (sorry about that) but I have been busy with training for my new job then actually starting it. The training was in London on Oxford street (my bank account is looking very depressing as a result) and I got to stay in a hotel in Covent Garden for 5 days! 
We got told to dress smart as if we were at work but this only lasted a day because of the heat, so for the rest of the training we were allowed to be a little more casual. The pictures below are what I wore each day, however on day 3 I was running a little late so I didn't have time to take any.


Day 1
 Skirt - Topshop Tall
Shirt - New Look

Day 2

Perfume


Today I thought i would do something a bit different and share my perfume collection, it is only small but I don't see the point in using a load of different perfumes all the time as you end up with too much choice. 
When putting on a perfume I would recommend using a body lotion first (preferably by the same brand as the perfume) this is because it helps the perfume last longer and enhances the smell.


Even though i don't have the perfume to match, the Jean Paul Gaultier body lotion it is actually my favorite to use in the summer, although it is not very clear on the picture it does have little bits of glitter in the lotion to give your skin a 'shimmer' effect.  


As for actual perfume I love the Juicy Couture perfumes! I have been using the original for a few years and this is actually only the second bottle I have had to buy. It has a fruity floral scent and one of the reasons i love this perfume is because the smell really lasts, I have had people comment hours after i'v put it on that they can still smell it. 


I got Kylie Minogue's perfume as a Christmas present, normally I avoid celebrity perfumes and go for a brand but this has actually grown on me. It has a floral scent and a very feminine feel. This is the sort of perfume I would wear during the day, where as I would use the Juicy Couture perfume in the evening if i'm going out.  

Kylie's perfume is a little cheaper than Juicy Couture however if you were only going to buy one I would spend the extra money.

OOTD - 11/07/13





Purple dress and Belt - New Look
Top - M&S
Bag - Primark
Socks - bhs

I feel I should start by saying that the top i'm wearing was given to me about 5 years ago (don't know how it still fits!) It is actually longer in length but I have folded it under the belt. This is the sort of thing that could be worn with jeans without the belt to dress it down. 
This outfit is great if you are a pear shape or if you want to make your bum and hips look smaller because the detail on the top keeps the attention there. This could also work the other way if you are top heavy by putting the detail on the bottom and wearing something plain on top. 

Next week I am going away for a few days for training before I start my new job, the fact i'm going to have money again is rather exciting and I know I will go a bit crazy with the spending as I haven't had money to spend for the last few months. Oxford Street here I come!
