Gucci Guilty Stud Limited Edition Fragrance

Hi Lovelies,

I fell in love with Gucci perfumes when I purchased a miniature gift pack of 4 Gucci fragrances from Dubai Duty Free. These fragrances were so beautiful! The original Gucci Guilty has been a favorite of mine. It is a warm yet striking oriental floral with hedonism at it's heart.

This time I was lucky enough to come across Gucci Guilty Stud Limited Edition eau de toilette 50 ml which has an amazingly sexy bottle. With its intertwined Gucci logo and covered with more than 400 metal studs (in Gold for Her and Gunmetal for) this velvety, feminine scent just became more sophisticated and irresistible. The bottle combines metal and glass to give it a modern, chic look. This limited edition packaging was created to celebrate Gucci's signature mix of rock and glamour and is no doubt a collectible item. It can just lay there on your vanity table and shine like a big chuck of pure gold.

The aura..

The fragrance is powerful - as I would like to describe it. It is sexy, daring and made for a woman who shatters expectations. I love the warmth of this fragrance which makes it so seductive. This rich, floral-oriental fragrance opens with a burst of citrus with the first spray. Alluring notes of lilac and patchouli mingle with voluptuous hints of amber for a velvety scent that is unmistakably feminine. Overall I see this fragrance as young, stylish and eminently wearable - a daring sense of sexiness and sensuality that captures the essence of Gucci.

Initially, I thought I would keep my Gucci Guilty Stud Limited Edition for formal occasions only, keeping in mind its bold characteristics. But then the day I officially took it out of its packaging (Christmas, just the right occasion) and sprayed the first spray it never went back in the hiding. Instead, it is now my companion and travels with me everywhere in my handbag. I wear it to work, to shopping, to movies, to gym! It gives me that feminine confidence and surely makes me stand out of the crowd along with loads of compliments.

My #Christmas Nails | Maybelline's Crushed Candy & Gold's Night Out

Hi lovelies,

My Christmas look is absolutely incomplete without pretty nails. I am so bored of pale, frosty shades of white, silver, blues etc. I need the brightest, the most glitter-bomb kind of shades that lift my spirit in this extremely frosty weather! But then I want it to be economical as well. I don't want it to be heavy on my wallet. My search ended at the Maybelline's counter where I found exactly the kind of shades I was looking for. Instead of one, I picked two very pretty shades.

Crushed Candy 180

Gold's Night Out 815

Crushed Candy is a beautiful pink from Maybelline's Color Show range that will remind you of Barbie and everything girly. It's a delicious, hot pink with a good amount of fuchsia and violet shimmer. It requires at least 3 coats to make itself stand out. It is one of my favorites pink nail polishes ever. The second nail polish Gold's Night Out is from Maybelline's Color Show Sequins range. It's a mixture of regular gold glitter, holographic gold glitter and very tiny specs of gritty gold glitter. The combination is beautiful and comparatively really easy to apply. This polish is a sparkle-bomb! This is one of the best party nail polishes ever! 

I created a cuter version by gliter-fying only one finger to create a balance. 

What do you think?

My #NextmasWishlist!

My absolute favorite season of the year is here!

Christmas season is on full bloom. A wonderful time for families and friends to get together and take some time off from the routine. My blogger friends are going crazy with their wishlists which inspired, rather forced me to create my own. This season I wanted to kick-start my Christmas wishlist with NEXT hence the #NextmasWishlist! I was actually invited by Next to create a wishlist and I just couldn't wait to get started. The official website of NEXT is loaded with Christmas sparkle and everything festive. It is so hard to choose just a few things. The decorations and gift ideas are adorable! My #NextmasWishlist this year seems more inclined towards Christmas decor this year. So here are my top 10 picks from NEXT.

1. The Sequin Gingerbread Christmas Sweater Top £ 26 is as cute as a button. To be honest I do not own a Christmas jumper but this one is beautiful. I love the blue color and the sequin gingerbread in the middle for that Christmas-y feel. 2. Lit Mink Crystal Effect Star £ 16 is a super cute crystal star wreath which I think is another great idea if you are looking for a different wreath than a traditional one. 3. Another decoration item that caught my attention is the Lit Hanging Basket £ 45. It is faux floral with led lights both great for indoor or outdoor decoration. 4. I can definitely make good use of this bumper Set of 50 Tree Decorations £ 15 which includes a selection of baubles, pine cone and felt decorations along with a beautiful tree topper. 5. I'm in desperate need of ankle boots at the moment and  these Block Heel Platform Ankle Boots £ 65 with 9.5 cm heel look super cool! 

 6. The Gold Sequin Wrap Skirt £ 42 looks perfect for the season when wore with a white shirt. 7. This Lit Gold Ivy Garland £ 25 with warm LEDs is your perfect fireplace decoration. 8. None of my wishlists are complete without a fragrance. Instead of going for other brands I usually go for my pick this time is the Just Pink Bumper Gift £ 20 set. It's a fresh, green floral fragrance with soft fruits and pink blossoms. The gift set includes an EDP, body wash, body lotion, bath essence and a body spirtz. 9. There is nothing that makes you feel warmer in the festive winter season than a lantern. This beautiful Bark Lantern £ 14 is my favorite Christmas decoration. 10. Last but not the least, getting in bed with this Brushed Cotton Woven Check Bed Set £ 35 - £ 65 will surely make me dream of Santa! I love the reindeer motifs on the bed sheet and pillows along with check pattern duvet in a lightly brushed fabric which gives it a soft, warm and cosy feel. 

So what do you think of my #NextmasWishlist?
