Mist you madly

I was initially drawn to Soap and Glory by their retro 40's packaging, so when I recently saw their much raved about products I knew I had to sample some! I have been after a new body spray which I can slip in my handbag and spritz to my heart's content throughout the day as I have recently finished a strawberry scented spray from the Natural Collection. Once I had smelt 'mist you madly', Soap and Glory's body spray, I instantly dropped it into my basket. It was very much an impulse buy, but one I do not regret. And at just £3.50, I don't begrudge a single penny. The body spray I picked up was part of the travel collection: which includes mini bottles of pink hand sanitizer and, of course, beauty blogger favourite-hand food cream. You can purchase the bigger version of the spray for just £6.50 and you get 250ml of the gorgeous scent as opposed to 100ml. If you haven't sampled the spray before, I advise buying the small bottle first and if you love it, as I do, buy the big bottle.

Soap and Glory describe the scent as 'a flirty, floral, fragrant body spray featuring notes of bergamot and blackcurrant, magnolia, freesia, vanilla and musk'. I love this scent as it is a light and fruity everyday scent that isn't too strong but isn't unnoticeable. It reminds me of a weaker version of Britney Spears' Fantasy and of course for a fraction of the price! Everyone's tastes in perfume are different, however if you love light, floral and sweet perfumes that feature notes of vanilla, this spray is for you!

Autumn

 
  
Hola, sorry I haven't posted for a while, I have been planning a bigger post which I hope to publish on my blog in the near future. I was playing around on Polyvore recently, a site where you can explore different fashion pieces and products for the home and compile them together to create what is known as a 'set'. I have seen a lot of bloggers use their own sets from Polyvore so I decided to create my own! 
 
1) First of all, the Converse. This pair are a splurge at £180, but they are a timeless wardrobe staple that can brighten up the plainest of outfits. I love the grunge stud detailing and the bright pattern that is slightly more powerful than the skirt featured in the set.
 
2) This gorgeous cat hat comes from H&M. This fuzzy material is really popular at the moment, I have also seen it in crop top and jumper form. It has a really lovely texture and can make outfits look so much more interesting. It is priced at £6.99, which I don't think is too bad, but you could probably find similar hats in the high-street that are cheaper.
 
3) This deep berry shade 3/4 sleeve crop top comes from River Island for only £5-practically Primark pricing! The depth of the colour really brightens up the neutral skirt I have paired it with (which I forgot number) from Primark. The skirt didn't have a price on Polyvore, but, if I made an educated guess, it's probably around £5-£10. There are so many different ways to style this skirt due to the faint and neutral colour scheme as it really helps other pieces in the outfit to pop, whilst making a statement itself.
 
4) I basically found a photo of knee length socks, I think this outfit would work better with tights due to the temperature but either will provide warmth! You can get knee high socks and tights anywhere-with varying degrees of quality and price.
 
I hope you enjoyed this post!
