Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede Cologne

Hello Everyone!
Now, I have to admit I am pretty late on the Jo Malone hype! I've of course heard about the desirable perfumes and candles, and of the brands brilliant reputation. I have also read so much of Jo Malone herself, as I have a high interest in those that build up powerful businesses themselves, and I really respect her. 
I have wanted to try a Jo Malone perfume for some time, but to be honest, I just thought the perfumes were a tad too pricey for my liking. But, my cousin Zoe (a fellow blogger), has always raved about the perfumes so I decided to take the plunge and purchase one.


There were so many scents to choose from I felt a bit overwhelmed when I first entered the shop. The incredibly friendly assistants were on hand, however, and helped me to pick out a scent I felt suited myself and my personality. 


I decided to purchase the Peony and Blush Suede Cologne, as I absolutely fell in love with the scent. I felt that it suited me perfectly. It isn't sickeningly sweet like most perfumes on the market. It smells girly, yet sophisticated. It is not overpowering at all, but is enough to be noticed, which I like as I hate when women walk past me and I am suffocated by themselves drenched in perfume. 


I am completely in love with the packaging and presentation of Jo Malone products. They look so high end and expensive (which they are), and are just amazing really. I feel like words cannot do the beauty of the elegant bottles and classic packaging justice. 


Now that we have discussed the prettiness and loveliness of this product, let's discuss price. 30ml costs £40, and 100ml costs £82. At first glance this seems a lot. But the quality of this product really justifies the price. It smells expensive and lovely, not sickly and cloying like cheaper perfumes. The cologne lasts on me for the whole day, unlike other perfumes, and also only a little spray is needed. I am more than happy that I paid this price as I know this will last me for ages, and that it is of good quality.

I am sure that I will purchase more Jo Malone products in the future!

Links of London Pearl Ring

Hello Everyone!
I hope you're all well! It has been so long since I've written a post! I have been so busy doing college work and revising for mock exams!

I went shopping with my Mum today, which was lovely as it feels I haven't seen her in ages! On our way back to the car we walked past Links of London. We decided to peer in the window and we saw such a pretty ring! My Mum encouraged me to go inside and try it on, and I'm so glad I did! It was absolutely beautiful! As a treat, my Mum decided to buy it for me... so spoilt! 




I absolutely love the chic, classic packaging. The black and cream go so well together and feel really sophisticated. 



 

I think this ring is so pretty and classic. The silver beads are on an elastic cord so it is very comfortable to wear. The pearl in the centre is beautiful, I especially love it because my Grandma and Mum love to wear pearls so I feel this is perfect for me! 

I hope you all like this post, it was only a quick one! I plan to get back into more frequently blogging as I'm more on top of my work load now!

Speak Soon,
