My New Favorite Perfume!

Hey guys! Since it's winter break I have some time to create some new posts! Just a couple of days ago, I stopped by Sephora after doing some last minute Christmas shopping to look at some fragrances. At first, I was thinking of purchasing the Taylor Swift wonderstruck rollerball to try it out but I realized it wasn't the scent I was looking for. After sniffing the various rollerballs on display I settled on Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs.The scent is amazing! 

The description on Sephora's website says it is "A whimsical interpretation of the original Daisy fragrance, this scent is more fruity, more bubbly, more fun! Open the bottle and you'll be transported to a field of sunshine that bursts with the flirty scent of flowers and the cheerful sweetness of fruits. Its light, woody base infuses a subtle but sharp glimmer of musk for an unexpected twist of radiance."

Um... I think most fragrance descriptions a tad bit exaggerated. Don't worry, the scent is still quite sophisticated. Even my mother really likes it! 

The notes are "Natural Raspberry, Grapefruit, Pear, Violet, Wild Rose, Apple Blossom, Musks, Cedarwood, Plum".  

I would describe it as light and sweet. The fragrance is very floral and fruity (well isn't that obvious, I am horrible at describing scents!). I would recommend it as a daytime scent since it's not overbearing and spicy. Spicy scents turn me away. I'm drawn the the sweeter scents. 

Another aspect I like is the packaging!
It comes in a cute light pink box with little daisies on the border. 

The bottle is adorned with tiny daisies and even the cap has a daisy! How pretty!

I have heard of the Daisy line of fragrances by Marc Jacobs however I wasn't originally intending on trying them out. Boy, was I glad that I did! This perfume has quickly become one of my favorites! I would totally recommend it. What is your favorite perfume?

Fall Shoe Trends

Lately, I've been noticing a lot of combat boots, riding boots, smoking slippers/flats/loafers, and boat shoes! Boots and flats are always  classics but this season they have some edginess added to them with lots of studs. The "smoking slipper" style is relatively new. Do you guys like that style? They seem to have a loafter, flat, slipper mix to it. 
These are some of my favorite of each category:

Combat boots:

Steve Madden Troopa

Steve Madden Tarnney 

Big Buddha Amber 
Riding boots:
Frye Melissa Button

Ayana Boot (Delia's)
Smoking Slipper:

BP Butler Flat (Obsessed with mustaches!)

Topshop Vectra Flat
Boat Shoes:
Sperry Top-Sider Bahama Sequined Boat Shoe
Sperry Top-Sider 'Authentic Original' Leather Boat Shoe (Rose gold)

What's your favorite shoe trend? I have to say I am OBSESSED with all of them! :)

Update

Hey guys! I just wanted to do an update since I haven't posted in awhile. First of all, I am so behind on my posts and I am terribly sorry. I just haven't had the time to write posts because of school, moving, and other activities. I'm doing my best to manage my time. Being a freshman in high school is a bigger jump than I anticipated. I created this blog as a hobby so I'm going to be cutting back on how many posts I can do. Education is very important to me. I'm not going to lie- it's not easy to balance school and other activities. Here's a fun fact: I play the piano and flute. So I have those to practice too. I know there are bloggers that post everyday but I am not able to do that. 

There have been some blogs that I really admire like A Beautiful Mess, Amarixe, Michelle Phan, and Wonder Forest. I hope someday that I can build up my blog like how they did. 

I want to thank every one of my followers for supporting me. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to read my blog. Out of billions of people, you found me? I'm flattered. :) I'm not quitting blogging but I am just letting you guys know that I won't be posting as often as before. I initially planned a part 2 school supply haul but I think it's too late now.

If any of you guys are interested in guest posting or have a post request please let me know!

Have a great week!
