What is the point of perfume adverts ?

I understand that "smell-o-vision" technology has not yet been created so please make this a perfume advert because I honestly don't believe that If I buy Irresistible by Givenchy that some gorgeous Italian man will come chasing after me.

Filmed in black and white, a starved woman with artificially immaculate hair and airbrushed make-up gets into her boat wearing stilletos and sunglasses in the middle of the night when her coat just falls off and she has no back to her dress. Then her hair sweeps and she looks sensually at the camera , meanwhile the boat drives itself and she looks blankly at the camera. Then she looks so hungry that she might eat the camera man.

What sincerely worries me about these adverts is that somebody has actually written them! I imagine a board room scene with a team of marketing experts, brain storming ideas on how to create the perfect advert that will show the scent without actually smelling it.

"Black and white...make sure it's black and white. Yeah get that guy from that film, and that director....the French guy that made that film that won those awards. Urmmmm what should we call it? Something that says success, class, elegance and creates nice imagery. Cool water? Fluid Iceberg? Pour Monsieur? Yuppie por homme? or very irresistible Guys we've done it again!"

JuJu Wellies

To add to my many posts about wellies , here is another.

As many of you readers know , I am an avid collector of wellies . Living in the countryside, alot of my social life involves wellies so buying a new pair of wellies is equally important and buying a new pair of shoes.


I am constantly on the look out for funky and original wellies and these JuJu wellies come into this category . JuJu sell wellie ankle boots ! I think that these would be ideal for dog walking in the sunshine , perhaps not through boggy fields though as your toes might get a little wet.

These boots would also be a stylish and waterproof alternative to riding boots and I am definitely going to be wearing these next time I go hacking ! I think that these should have been part of the Olympic Show jumpers attire as they are so stylish , but maybe a little too on trend for the Queen.

These revamped takes on traditional Chelsea boots are sophisticated (the black pair) and they are fun so these are added to my Christmas list this year , what about you ?

They are £29.99 from most retailers. Find these fabulously fashionable boots HERE .

Party in style and in print - Myofashion

 It was love at first sight when I saw this dress at Myofashion.com . The triangular Aztec print is crazily hypnotising and the patterned contrast is sensational.

 If you are a practising indie then it is for you because it has over 200 triangles on it and you can't really fit anymore on to be honest , considering it is made up completely of triangles !

This is called the Karen Tailored Lace Print Dress and it has a massive silver zip down the back which is really pretty ,functional and on trend !

I styled this fabulous dress with gorgeous black tights from Jonathan Aston that have a line of glitter down the back seem to add a bit of sparkle to the outfit. I wore nude heels because they are plain and they don't take the focus away from this amazing dress.

This dress is a lace body con dress  and it feels quite velvety. It is such a heavenly dress to wear as it is comfortable , cute and it will definitely turn some heads .

It is exceptionally phenomenal as it does look very hypnotising and so people will be staring at you all night also it is a slimming and flattering dress on anyone .

You can accessorise it with anything because it is black and white . This makes colour choice a whole lot easier . I opted for a stack of bracelets on my right arm . Notably the Links friendship bracelet.

It gets even better ,

It is only £12.99 a complete bargain . So that's your New Years Eve dress sorted .

Order this flattering wonderfully whacky dress from Myofashion !!

Disney Lip Smackers - The perfect Stocking filler or girly gift

So I have a few loves in life .

 1. Since I was about 3 years old a love of all things Disney mainly Princesses but most of all Belle from Beauty and the Beast because my name is Bella . I also had a massive love of Minnie mouse spotted bows and anything that looked a like her !

2. Lip balm . If I was left on a desert Island with two things they would be fruit smoothies and lip balm as I have a slightly crazy collection of lip balms, butters ,sticks, creams and sugars. I can't stand having chapped lips plus I love a bit of colour and yummy tasting and looking lips.

GUESS WHAT .....................

 Disney and Lip Smacker collaborated to make a Disney Lip Smacker !!
They come in different flavours for different characters .

 The first lip balm shown in the picture is 'Minnie' and it smells of deliciously sugary cupcakes ! The lip balm tint is a light pink.

The second lip balm shown is 'Minnie' again but the smell is 'Very Bow Berry ' this is my favourite smell because it reminds me of Forrest fruits and blackberry crumble. The colour is a hot pink tint and it tastes so good !

The third lip balm is 'Daisy' and the flavour is 'cutie pie' it smells of cookie dough and reminds me of my younger childhood. The colour of the balm is a light rose pink.

The fourth Lip balm is 'Daisy and Minnie', it is 'Berry BFF 'flavour and smells like strawberry slush puppies . It is a clear lip balm and has the cutest packaging !

All of these lip balms are so moisturising and deliciously colourful . They also happen to taste amazing as well ! What more could you want ?

These lip balms leave your lips looking and tasting delicious. They would also make great stocking fillers of gifts for girls as they are not only tasty,colourful and bright but they only cost  £2 each at Primark so run and get them before the Fairy Godmother buys them all for herself !

Red Label Leggings

Red Label leggings are the most abstract , colourful leggings that I have seen in a while . They follow on from the summer filled with bright Aztec prints and shapes , except now they are in more earthy tones and personally I prefer these as they are just gorgeous to look at.

They add an instant colour update and bring fun to any plain outfit. I have styled them with a simple black over sized jumper and black boots . I think that wearing something plain and not to overstated with such patterned leggings is important because otherwise you create a massive colour clash . There are good and bad colour clashes and it is important to be able to see what is the good clash !

I love the fact that they can be worn as both in day and in the night styled correctly .They are also thick enough to wear as leggings but thin enough to wear under dresses or shorts.

Red Label also have many more pairs of abstract and colourful leggings .
They also sell some really nice affordable other clothing pieces which stand out from the crowd and keep you up to date with the fashion trends of this season.


The Red Label leggings that I am wearing are the Geo Ethnic print legging. Available here .
They cost £12.99 which is a bargain for what they are and I also think they would make a great fun and different gift for friends.

Miss Oroblu Tights

  Miss Oroblu  is a stylish hosiery brand that sell original , funky and luxurious  tights at really reasonable prices . These tights are clearly influenced by Scotland and I love the modern take of this classic design . They have also injected bright colours such as blue , pink and purple that will add instant glamour and fun to any outfit.

  All of their range is creative , new and really stylish they add an inexpensive crazy and yet elegant touch to anything in your wardrobe .

This is also a great way to update your work wardrobe for example if you wear a suit skirt everyday then instead of black tights try a pair of these and you will stand out from the crowd and become one of the elitist suit skirt wearers in your office. Trust me , you will turn heads.

The tights I am wearing retail around £16 dependant on stockists.

Also if you are off skiing anywhere or just like the warm and the woolly then these are for you. These fabulously on trend tights are so pretty and they are snugly AND fashionable which is even more practical.These retail around £26 dependant on stockists.

They would make a great Christmas present or stocking filler as they are fun , funky and reasonably priced !

 If your ever stuck for buying Christmas of birthday gifts for girls ,woollies such as hats gloves and scarfs are always a pleaser and are a safe present as they can't offend the receiver if you buy them 5 sizes too big. Pj's are always a winner for girls as you can never have too many Pj's !

In the pictures I am wearing some gorgeous Ralph Lauren Holiday Flannel Pj bottoms in red and green with a plain black T-shirt . The Bottoms are so comfy its unbelievable , and they are Christmas colours ! Great for opening a stocking in style on Christmas Day .
