Escada Cherry In The Air Review

I'm a massive fan of things that smell like Cherry, so when I saw Escada had released a new cherry themed fragrance I was really keen to see if it would live up to my expectations. 

It's a very sweet scent said to be inspired by french landscapes and bicycling through orchards. it has notes of Black Cherry, Raspberry, Marshmallow and Coconut. It's very light and In my opinion quite a young scent, perfect for the Summer. The minute I sprayed it I could immediately smell the notes of Black Cherry, and as it settled into my skin the notes of Marshmallow become much more prominent.

Overall a lovely fresh young scent, the notes of Cherry aren't synthetic at all and it smells really natural.

This is the 30ml bottle which I bought for £25, it is also available in 50ml and 100ml sizes.

How To: Make A Jellybaby Cocktail

As some people may (or may not!) know, when I was a uni student I worked part time as a bartender, most of the time it was a complete nightmare however I did have some fun along the way, we got to attend things like cocktail making classes and have a general play around, so I present to you - how to make a Jellybaby cocktail!

This is a really sweet cocktail, so I would definitely recommend it if you are a person that isn't a big fan of alcohol actually tasting like alcohol (if that makes sense!)

You Will need: 

When making a pitcher of this cocktail it is recommended that you use :

Pineapple Juice -  Just under a carton of juice

Vodka - 25ml 

Blue Curacao 25ml

Grenadine 25ml

Peach Schnapps 25ml

Malibu 25ml

As you can see from the pictures I'm just making a glass, so I just scaled down the measurements accordingly, depending on how much of this cocktail you want to make just base your measurements on how much a pitcher should contain! Also depends how strong you like it I guess!!

I started with the grenadine poured over ice in my glass, I then topped it up with pineapple juice, leaving a little gap at the top

I then added all the remaining spirits into a little tumbler glass (malibu, schnapps, curacao, vodka)

I then layered the blue liquid over the top of my pineapple juice and grenadine using a spoon, and voila! A jelly baby cocktail! You may want to stir the mixture before drinking, but I think it looks pretty cool to display!

Let me know if you try this!

Stylesnob Bracelet

When I was contacted by Zalando a little while back and asked If I would like to review one of their products I couldn't say no.  The site sells loads of awesome pieces of clothing and accessories from loads of different brands and they even have a dedicated section to more higher end brands like DKNY and Nicole Farhi

After a lot of debating I opted for this pretty bracelet by Stylesnob*, it does up with a little buckle very similar to a watch strap. I really liked the dusky pink colour, and the fact that it had little crystal bows on it.

The only drawback about the bracelet was the fact that as my wrists are relatively small I had to do the strap up quite tight, which meant that there was loads of leftover strap after I had done the buckle up, and there was nowhere to tuck it in to, meaning that it kind of just flapped about and got in the way a little bit.

Aside from that I think it's a really cute piece of jewellery, I've seen a lot of these types of bracelets about recently! You can take a look at it here, and if you're interested in any of the designer clothing or simply want to have a look round their clothing section can be found here!

ALDO Spiked Celine Dupe

I love a good bag dupe, so when I saw this Celine look-alike from ALDO I couldn't resist. Couple that with the fact that this bag has studs and I think we are on to a winner. It's quite spacious inside and holds all the usual rubbish that I cart around with me on a daily basis! It has a zipper closure with gold detailing and studs on the zips, the strap is long enough for me to carry it on my shoulder or to just hold it in the crook of my arm.



Basically this bag is awesome. Who needs Celine when you can have this for a tenth of the price!? You can have a look at it on the Aldo website here.
