ASOS - House of Harlow by Nicole Richie

Monday, 2 May 2011

I totally love Nicole Richie. I love her effortlessly cool boho/hippy style, she has the most gorgeous hair and a hot rocker husband ;) and her own fashion/jewellery line. So jel!


I've heard great things from across the pond about her House of Harlow jewellery line and when i found out ASOS started stocking it i literally stopped what i was doing and logged in for a sneak peak.




I must say i am a little disappointed. Firstly the selection of items on ASOS is limited and secondly the prices, OMG! I will not be forking out £130 for a bangle, no sirree! I darent look at Nicole's clothing line Winter Kate!




I'm not sure who to blame here; Miss Nicole Richie for her incredible expensive, but beautiful jewels or ASOS for realising they're onto a good thing and doing a major price-hike overhaul throughout their entire site (yes ASOS, i have noticed the cost of your items increasing over the last year or so! Free Shipping does not make up for this!) *little dig at ASOS now over*

Needless to say i will not be buying any of the House of Harlow items (unless i stumble across a large pot of gold at the end of a rainbow).

Guess i'll have to manage with my trinket box of treasures from Primark *sigh*

Jelly Belly ...

Sunday, 3 April 2011

I have recently been testing out these delightful bath gel's by Jelly Belly ...

They come in 3 divine flavours; Raspberry, Blueberry and Strawberry Jam. I was really excited to try the Blueberry bath gel as i have previously owned the 3D Air Freshener and my car smelt like blueberry muffins for a month!!

Blueberry actually turned out to be the flavour i liked the least :( it smelt gorgeous in the bottle but lost all its blueberry goodness once hitting the water. This also happened with the Raspberry flavour; slightly disappointing, no?!

The stand out item from this gift-set was the Strawberry Jam bath gel. It smelt exactly like strawberry jam and the scent lasted well throughout the bath :) It was so yummy smelling that i was totally tempted on more than one occasion to lick it but resisted the urge... (do you ever get that with food smelling bath/skin products?!)

The gel was a really thick consistency, very much like jelly cubes and lathered up quickly once you've swooshed the gel around in the water. There were plenty of bubbles which lasted with minimal melting.


I picked up this gift-set in the ASOS sale on Boxing Day and have finally used up the last little drop! I actually saw these on sale in Debenhams on Friday so snap them up quick!

Have you seen the Jelly Belly lip balms? I really want to try them :)

Updated my layout a little bit - what do you dolls think?
