I really should stop looking at websites for clothing and accessories. Ever since I started looking for a winter jacket I’ve done nothing but check out other things I can buy on Saturday when I go shopping. One thing that I have decided on is perfume. I’ve been wearing Red Jeans since I was about 15, and Victoria Beckham - Intimately Beckham since April. As much as I adore them both I fancy something different.

I love Hugo Boss - Deep Red, but for me that’s more a ‘going out’ perfume and I want a ‘wear to work’ perfume. There’s a perfume that I used to wear constantly called ‘Anna Sui EDT’ by Anna Sui but it’s no longer made and I’m gutted. It was an amazing perfume, I can still smell it now even though I’ve not worn it for around 5 years. The bottle was very pretty too. I’ve tried out other Anna Sui fragrances but I don’t really like them, they mostly smell very sweet to me.

I’ve heard good things about ‘Be Delicious’ by DKNY, but everybody’s wearing that these days. I want to stand out from the crowd, which is why I went through a phase of wearing Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab scents, especially ‘White Rabbit’, which is a mix of ’strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen’, sounds completly mad but it was to die for! I also liked ‘Alice’ which is ‘Milk and honey with rose, carnation and bergamot’ - I obvioulsy have a thing about the smell of milk…even though I don’t drink the stuff!

What perfume do you wear from day-to-day? Give me ideas!

I am so happy that I get paid tomorrow. Not because I’m desperate for the money, I’m not for a change, but because I want to splash out on a new jacket since it’s getting colder every day. My believing was that it was August and I was still waiting for summer to start, not that I should be going out to buy a new winter coat. My problem with winter coats is that I get far too bored to quickly, so I buy a cheap one. Then I need to buy an other one a few months later because the one I have is falling apart / no longer in fashion / I’ve changed my mind about it.

I’ve check around and I quite fancy this one from TopShop. It’s £75, which is a good price in my mind for a great jacket that should last me through to February. Saying that, I’ll have a new one by December, you mark my words.

What do you think? Buy the semi-expensive one that I can just about afford, or go with a cheap Primark or New Look jacket that will cost me half of that amount?

Agh, can’t decide!
