DKNY Be Delicious Perfume Giveaway

In celebration of the 5th birthday of Donna Karen's perfume Be Delicious, I have very generously been given a 30ml EDT bottle and makeup bag to give away to one of my lovely readers, as well as some for me to review. In order to enter the give away please just leave a comment on this post. The prize is only available to UK residents and the closing date is 31st October. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you will get an extra entry into the giveaway.

The DKNY Be Delicious perfume is perfectly described by its name. With a refreshing hint of apple it smells almost good enough to eat. The bottle is even apple shaped and looks lovely sat on my dressing table. I have been advised in the past that you should keep perfumes in a draw out of the sun light to stop them going off but I am guessing this will all be used up long before it goes off. For me, it is the ideal daytime scent, a sort of fresh and sweet smell that is not too overpowering and makes me feel energised, just what I need in the winter. It is perfect for wearing with both casual and smarter outfits.

Check out the Core Club tab on the DKNY Facebook page to find out about a great competition that DKNY have launched with a trip the New York City to win. Entrants have to design their own « Be Delicious » bottle and Donna Karan herself will select the best design.

Oh btw I have also become a Style Councillor on a new website called the Shopping Forecast. A great place to get fashion inspiration and discover new fashion.

A growing number of people arewearing vintage clothing, either because they love the styles of clothes from a particular era, want to find something a little different to the clothes they would find on the high street or to be sure that their shopping has a minimal environmental impact.

Sarenza Shoe and Outfit Contest

I was recently invited by Sarenza, a French online shoe retailer that has just launched a UK site, to enter a competion to win a shopping trip to Paris. All I had to do was choose a pair of shoes from Sarenza, wear my most fashionable outfit to match the shoes and take a picture of myself. The blogger that gets the most votes between 5 and 10th July will win a shopping trip to Paris. You can follow the competiton on the Sarenza Blog. I will be eternally grateful for any votes (I shall post a reminder a bit nearer the time)

The shoes that I chose were by Pare Gabia whose range I have a crush on because they combine elegance and wearabilty and flatter my feet, yes gorgeous shoes that I can actually walk in.

As I wouldn't consider any of my clothes to be the height of fashion, I decided to wear my faithful beige dress which fits in well with the summers trend for neutrals but is also is the perfect back drop to show of gorgeous accessories and of course these shoes.
