Pictures of August!

Hello! ♥

As I haven't posted much this month (or last for that matter but we will let that slide!) I thought it would be a nice idea to share with you what August has consisted of for me in pictures!

You may, if you follow me on instagram (Ashlee_yy), have seen some of these already as I'm rather obsessed with taking pictures and uploading them to insta! Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Explanations from top left to bottom right:

The first picture is the beautiful view on one of my runs along the rail way track. Literally one of the only things I love about living in the countryside. 

Then we have my new white blazer and pink top. Obviously I've shopped a lot during August, as I do every month! But this has been one of my faves, I've wanted a white blazer for the longest time and this topshop one is just beaut!

Nandos. What more can I say, I'm obsessed!

New top, but most of all fave lipstick! You all know since I bought Rimmel's Apocalips lip colour I haven't been the biggest fan, but this month it really is growing on me in the colour galaxy and I have to admit it has been my most worn.

Eggs. I have been trying to eat healthy, workout loads and hopefully loose my fatty wee tummy! I used to hate eggs but I've been experimenting and I can honestly say, I no longer despise them.

Pink sky at night. See, the most beautiful thing about countryside living is the views. So pretty!

Scone with eyes? Yes, I'm mature. You will have seen from my birthday haul that my sister got me these edible eyes and obviously I've been sticking them on all of my families food.

This has been one of my favourite hair styles this month, so easy to do, so comfortable and still looks cute. Sometimes I just wear the doughnut alone but I think the bow adds a girly cute touch to boring outfit days.

Lastly, my new Chanel nail polish phone case. I've been loving this thing to bits. Its downfall would be that it scratched so easily but, what did I expect for under a fiver? 

Anyway, there has been my favourites for the month of August!

Hope you enjoyed them,

What have your favourites been this month?

Perfect Summer Perfume Picks!

Heyy ♥

I'm majorly obsessed with perfume, i love pretty much every perfume i smell and it's rare that i find one i really hate, although there are a few out there!

I love to smell nice so perfumes are my must-have product everywhere i go, i always have a little sample in my bag to touch up during the day and i always have a few on my shelf in my room. However, i hate sticking to the same perfume for prolonged periods and like to switch it up all the time and go back and forth to different ones. Therefore, i thought i would quickly share with you guys my top five picks for this Summer!

These are just the five fragrances i think stand out and are really fresh, fruity and summery! It was hard to just pick five as i had about ten that i would have loved to include but, i managed to just pick five of my faves that i am going to be wearing through Summer 13!

At No.5 i have Forbidden Euphoria by Calvin Klein.

This is a beautiful sweet, floral perfume. It is a bit of a modern, young fragrance in my opinion but it is really lasting and it is great on a night out or when you want your perfume to be quite noticeable  I also love the bottle of this, it has an unusual shape to other bottles and it's purple transparent glass makes it quite girly and pretty.

No.4 is Miss Dior Cherie by Dior.

Another of my all time faves. I buy this a lot and i wear it pretty much all year round not just one i go to for summer months. It is a real all rounder, really fresh smelling and girly with an equally girly bottle. It is an amazing perfume. My one, if you're wondering is the 2012 edition of this perfume as there are a few versions since it's launch in 2005.

Ok so up at no.3 i have Dot by Marc Jacobs.

This fragrance is really summery! It's fruity and girly and really appropriate for Summer. First off, the bottle! I could not love this bottle more. Some people probably hate it but, i absolutely love it. So pretty and summery and it's just something that really appeals to me. This fragrance is really fruity and reminds me of a summer holiday somewhere sunny and beautiful. It's just lovely.

No.2 is J'adore by Dior.

I am a massive fan of Dior perfumes  i think they are really mature and quite sexy but fun and fresh at the same time. This particular perfume is quite feminine and floral rather than sweet. It is definitely one of my go-to perfumes and i have re-purchased this, as well as others from Dior quite a few times. Really long lasting and a major fave of mine.

And up at my current Summer No.1 i have Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel.

Oh, what can i say about this? It is amazing. I love all the Chanel Chance perfumes but the Eau Tendre has to be my favourite. It is quite a floral one again with a bit of a fruity tone, it lasts quite a long time and the bottle is just classic Chanel, simple but effective. Definitely worthy of my number one Summer fragrance. 

I genuinely love all of these perfumes and as a review i would absolutely recommend each and every one of them if you are looking for a new Summer fragrance! 

What are your top Spring/Summer perfumes?

Any you can recommend to me?
