Hey my lovelies!
Just wanted to share a little review with you!

A few weeks ago I received the Lotion from Diane von Furstenburg's perfume, DIANE.
I have been using it quite religiously and it is one of the best scented creams I have come across.
A little description of the product :)
From her signature silhouettes to her bold prints, Diane von Furstenberg is synonymous with effortless chic. As a Vogue Influencer, the fashion legend invites you to experience her new scent DIANE. “Everything I know about seduction is in the bottle,” says von Furstenberg.

Created in collaboration with industry maven Chantal Roos and master perfumer Aurelien Guichard, DIANE opens with bold notes of Frangipani, intertwined with subtle hints of Violet and base notes of myrrh, musk and patchouli. Seductive and feminine, DIANE is the ultimate accessory.

The scent is lovely. Many scents give me a headache but this one was real enough (does that make sense) that I really just enjoyed the smell.
Now about it specifically being a lotion. I find many perfumed lotions are just about the smell, not at all about the moisturizing qualities and to be honest I expected the same from this one.
Out of all the perfumed lotions this one is by far the best. It didn't irritate my skin at all, even when freshly shaved, and really smelt and felt amazing on.



If any of you have tried it let me or are thinking of trying let me know!

Clarasonic Update! (beware! no makeup! ;))




Hey everyone!

Just wanted to let you all know how my clarisonic has been working! And let me tell you! It's soo amazing! I think I have fallen in love! lol I have been using it for about a week now and have really noticed a difference in my skin! It's way smoother, way clearer, and just seems more radiant all together! It also has soo many cool features that are just so handy.

1. It's waterproof! - I love this feature! I can jump right into the shower with it and scrub my face and then switch the heads for the body brush and do that at the same time! So handy!

2. The fact that it comes with a body brush and body polish! Soo nice! My skin just loves it :)

3. How great it feels on your skin! It's like a massage! Just soo relaxing! I don't ever want to stop! lol

4. The timer! This is one of the most handy features! When you have the facial brush attached and you turn on the clarasonic it gives you a beep and starts spinning. You start with your forehead and it's set for 20 seconds, then it beeps and pauses and then another 20 seconds for your chin and nose and then 10 seconds for each cheek!
This is so great because you really focus on each are without ever over scrubbing your face!

5. I also love the 4 different cleansers that come with the set! There is one for dry skin, oily skin, and normal. Soo handy you can try them out and see which one works best for your skin type. Then there is also the body polish which just feels sooo amazing!!


Trying it out! I think I'm addicted! lol

Let me know what you think! Is it worth the money to you?! Personally I think skin care is worth quite alot to me. Also because it claims to slow signs of ageing which is great! :)

Talk to you soon darlings!

And the bride wore Mcqueen

Wow! I must say I'm a bit of a suck for for a good love story haha.
I got up extra extra early this morning to watch the Royal wedding.
Did any of you?


I thought she looked amazing! The Sarah Burton dress was gorgeous!
It kept that traditional standards fitting for a church like the Westminister Abbey,
but had such a modern flair at the same time.

Look at that back origami detailing! Gorgeous!
It was meant to look like a opening flower.

How adorable was Wills face when he saw her for the first time.
You could see he said 'You look so beautiful'
Awwww!


The earring were a gift from her parents.
They were handcrafted and inspired by Kate's very own Coat of Arms.

The gown was created with hand made french lace.
The bodice was a typical Mcqueen design as it nipped in at the waist and
was padded on the hips.
I thought her veil was soo ethereal - absolutely beautiful!

Her welsh gold band was so simple but still is valued at $11,000!
Isn't that insane!

I loved the double kiss! Sooo cute!
It definitely made my heart melt!

And how adorable was the get away car!
I love how they kept a lot of very traditional elements -
it made it seem very down to earth.

And we can't forget about the Maid of Honor!

Pippa, I thought looked stunning! In fact some people are saying she stole the limelight from Kate.
I don't think so though. She look incredible graceful - also in McQueen.
She wore a very chic ivory silk dress made out of the same fabric as Kate's dress.

Plus she looked too cute standing next to Harry ;)




What did you think? Did you find the event exciting?
Or are you sick of the whole affair?! lol

Let me know :)
