    Tis’ the season to take on next season’s trends! Rebecca Taylor‘s pretty feminine style with an infusion of sport luxe was one of my favourites from the New York runway. It was fresh and definitely encompassed everything exciting about a new Spring collection, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be worn during Autumn/Winter! The pastel colour scheme is a trend that’s manage to work its way into the high streets already, so I’ve picked out some of my favourites to help you rock this trend a few months early…

  • Festive Fortnight | Review | Marc Jacobs ‘Daisy’ gift set

    ‘Daisy’ Marc Jacobs gift set | RRP £67.50 | The Fragrance Shop
    The first of my Festive Fortnight posts and something I’ve been lusting over for while. Marc Jacobs’ Daisy is one of the brands most iconic scents. Light, bright and fresh, Daisy is full of pretty violet tones and reminds me of Spring and sunshine. Though we’re in the midst of Winter I still think this is a great day-to-day fragrance and something a little refreshing for an early evening scent. And of course there’s the bottle itself, which looks perfectly at home on any blogger’s vanity!
    My dad was lovely enough to get this particular set in the duty free section whilst on a business trip for me – along with my part payment! The set I have has the 150ML and mini 4ml bottles of Daisy, plus their luminous body lotion – which I can’t wait to use! I’ve found an almost exact version of the gift set here and there are sets with the body lotion and shower gel. Not only is the set itself great, but the box itself is oh so adorable too!
