Fragrance for Fall.

With the changing seasons we often find new trends, many of which are not just based around your wardrobe pieces, it can apply to many things, ranging from cosmetics and fragrances.

After adding a few changes to my wardrobe, I though the same attitude should be applied to my choice of perfume. Recently I've been using a very mild scent, for a very long time and  it wasn’t doing me any justice. I could hardly smell it, until I realised it was an eau de toilette- one my duh moments. I usually make sure to purchase the eau de parfum, when handpicking my fragrances, period. However that particular fragrance was gifted to me. The smell is wonderful, for about 10- 15 minutes, and then it dies down.   

With that in mind, I went on a mini shopping mission over the weekend to find the perfect fragrance for fall. I found myself in most perfume counters, perfume testing.  Virtually every perfume I came across, didn’t quite work for me… until I couldn’t believe my nose- that's when I found it, a wonderful smelling one… Valentino/Valentina.

I purchased a set, as apposed to the single perfume bottle. It was decently priced, that and the fact the box looked cute. The set includes a scented body lotion, the fragrance and a vintage looking box. This perfume smells absolutely glorious, even my smelling senses approve. The bottle is very cute and feminine. The scent is totally perfect for this season and not too harsh smelling either.  It would also be ideal throughout the winter season.

Lastly, I ensured the fragrance was an eau de parfum type, as the smell last for hours. This perfume exceeded my expectations and I could smell it even after a few hours had passed. A choice well made.

Definitely make that switch from the differing perfume types, you'll be grateful. Have an awesome week... If you tiptoe, you can see the weekend.

Vintage.

Today was an exciting and emotional day, mixed with positive highs. It was my best friend’s graduation and I felt privileged to have been invited. Being surrounded by students in their gowns, there is something quite inspiring about that… what career will they go into, they may become future leaders in some shape or form. I will be graduating next summer, with my degree in Event Management and the idea of walking up on a high platform stage makes me feel nervous- just in case I stumble onto the crowd and squish them. Imagine that, walking in high heels to collect your award and stumbling face forward, with thousands of people watching. Oh the embarrassment. To make things sweeter, I was informed my final year in university will be the most difficult- yet rewarding.  I’m mentally preparing myself for a year of commitment to my studies, even if it means cutting of my social life... well maybe a little balance and prioritisation won't hurt anyone.

I have only ever attended one graduation; my sister’s and I wore a dress for the occasion.  This time I wanted a change, a pretty top and some black jeans did the trick- a mix between trendy and borderline formal. Pairing a pretty green sparkly top, with summer inspired prints and some black jeans, were the perfect combination. This was the first time I wore this top. It was lying in my wardrobe for quite some time and it's now my favourite fashion piece. 

A brown shoulder bag, completed my look and complimented my brown mango heels. The weather had a mind of its own, the transition from sunny to cloudy. Although it was humid, I felt the need to throw on my vintage jacket, just in case...

I hope you all are enjoying your Sunday. Have fun and make the most of the day, because we all know what happens next… Monday! Exciting times.
