L'Occitane | Rose Discovery Collection

Be still my beating heart.  Just when I thought Spring would never arrive, it's done so in the form of the new L'Occitane Rose Discovery Collection.  I know we're still knee-deep in winter but I can't even begin to explain how excited I am for the warmer, brighter days ahead and so with this in mind, you can imagine how thrilled I was to find this beautiful package landing on my doorstep!  The pretty pink packaging alone is enough to make anyone swoon; or is that just me?  I adore L'Occitane's wide range of fragranced skincare, although more often than not tend to lean towards the warm, musky and almond scents.  Because of this, the Rose Collection is a welcome switch-up to my routine.  Having just started a new job and about to move to a new place in a new city (ah! more on that soon!), I'm embracing the opportunity to also adopt a new fragrance.  In this case, it comes in the form of a sweet, floral aura...

Texture Play | Winter Styling

Oof, is there anything more exciting than getting your legs out?!  Seriously though, yes I was cold but I'd been trapped inside for days after constant snowfall.  I wake up, the sun was shining and the snow had started melting.  One thing led to another and before I knew it, the legs were out.  Don't worry, denial and optimism kept me warm.  Anyway, I've always been out here playing around with textures but even more so of late since so many gorgeous textured pieces have found their way into my wardrobe!  I've said it before and i'll say it again, I'm not a huge fan of this time of year.  Because of this, I'm constantly on the hunt for new ways to inject some colour and interest into daily life.  The quickest way?  In the way we dress.  Ladies, it's time to dive into a pool of textures...
