Mummy's scent

Introducing Jo Malone's Wild Bluebell; my new fave perfume. I don't know if it actually smells like wild bluebells, but it does smell flowery. It's not too floral and not too sweet, but just the perfect combination of both worlds. I'm terrible at describing scents so I'll just leave you with the description from the website: 

Vibrant sapphire blooms in a shaded woodland. The delicate sweetness of dewy bluebells suffused with lily of the valley and eglantine, and a luscious twist of persimmon. A mesmerising fragrance.

Russian Red

My London shopping pour moi focused mainly on beauty products. One of my purchases was Mac's matte lipstick in the shade Russian Red. I love the combination of natural glow makeup with a matte red lip. Very sophisticated.

I've been kind of playing around with it and I'm not really sure about the result. Maybe more "chic-messed-up" rather than "chic-Paris". Oh well, I still love the red lipstick though. Maybe I'll be brave enough to sporting it out one day.

London love ❤

My annual trip to London came and went a lot quicker than expected. My expectations were high, but I knew that the city would never disappoint me. As always it was exhausting, but wonderful.

I did my best to boost the British economy with my Christmas shopping. Ended with a fair bit of presents  and a whole lot of beauty products for myself. Didn't get to renew my wardrobe this time around, but bought a couple of essentials like a pair of jeans from Topshop.

As always I didn't manage to take that many pictures, although I vowed to myself that this would be the trip where I would kodak every moment.But somehow, I just got preoccupied with something else, like checking the balance of my debit card....

Here are some really random (and the only) pics I took:

Baglady part three: Drool

OMG, this is by far the prettiest thing ever and just my luck I can pick it up at a boutique in London. Unfortunately the price is around 13000 kr. I'm not sure if I can justify it to my hubby or even to myself.....

Still forever searching for the perfect brown bag and as I'm heading over the pond in November, my main goal is to come home with the exact one. I've actually found three perfect candidates:

Medium Leather Totebag from Michael Michael Kors

Daria Satchel in Oak Soft Spongy from Mulberry

Travel Muse Two Leather Shoulder Bag from YSL

The Mulberry one is my favorite at the moment as it's the only one I've seen live. Plus I like the fact that the straps are adjustable. Not to mention the luxury feel of the leather. It would be great though that I actually would prefer the one from Michael Kors because it's a lot cheaper, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Who knows I might end up with something totally different when I come home from London!

Rule Britannia

I'm sure I'm not the only one who benched in front of the tele today to watch the Royal Wedding. I even shed a tear. Would have blame it on my hormonal pregnant state, but the truth is I would have needed the kleenex even without the bump. Being a huge fan of the UK, feeling like it's my second home (or first if I could choose), I feel a real attachment to the British people. It helps having spent many summers over the pond and having lived there for a year.

Although I had to leave in the middle of the ceremony to make my doctor's appointment, I did manage to get a glimpse of the most important thing; her dress. One word; stunning.
