Dreaming in Portofino

My new favourite scent has to be Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue Dreaming in Portofino. I've been looking for a new perfume for a while now and this is everything I've been waiting for. I am not a fan of sickly, sweet perfumes (think the Britney perfumes - my sister wears them and gets complimented all the time but they're just too much for me) and I prefer fresh, summery scents. It sounds cheesy but every time I spray myself with it, I think of lazy, summer days lounging in the sun. Perfect.

From the Sephora website:

"Go on a sensual journey through dream locations of the Mediterranean. Named for the picturesque fishing village and resort of the rich and famous on the Italian Riviera, this spellbinding fragrance, Dreaming in Portofino, bursts with an utter feeling of summer, precious pastimes, and true delight. Notes of sweet litchi and musky ambrette seed join with rich floral tones of soft iris and exhilarating osmanthus, bringing to mind summers filled of relaxing getaways and vivacious voyages. 

Notes:
Citrus Accord, Pink Pepper, Crisp Aquatic, Geranium, Amber, Patchouli. 
Style:
Sensual. Adventurous. Fresh."

 PS. It's also on offer at Boots at the moment for a bit of a bargain price.

Last minute bikini dilemma.

My sister and I plan to book a last minute holiday in the next week or so, which of course is lovely. However, it has left me with the problem of there being F*CK ALL swimwear left in the shops. All my bikinis are looking a bit grotty and so I definitely need at least one before I go.

So here we go, my best of what's left:

ASOS also has some half decent things left but sadly it's a roulette game of whether they have your size left at the moment. Fingers crossed ey?

Move Along.

My week of boredom, rabbit food, homemade carrot and coriander soup (this recipe), slouchy jumpers with hot chocolate before bed and day-to-day dressing.

Sleepy streets and a really pretty blue sky.
