CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle Intense New Oversized Bottle
Just in time for fall, one of my favourite perfumes has just released an oversized edition its woody, amber scent.
The 200ml bottle of CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle Intense Perfum is a “warm, soft and feminine ambery accord with Venezuelan tonka bean and Madagascan vanilla heightens the sensuality.”
While the “an extreme and luminous concentration of Indonesian patchouli reveals a voluptuous dimension.”
The scent is sultry and mysterious, warm yet feminine and definitely gets the attention of my husband.
In addition to the oversized bottle, CHANEL Coco Mademoiselle Intense Perfume has extended the fragrance collection to include a Velvet Body Oil Spray, Shower Gel, Body Lotion, Hair Mist, and the Twist & Spray purse sized bottle.

“I wanted to remain close to the original formula, while giving it a whole new dimension. I wanted to increase the proportions of fractionated patchouli. Push it to the limit.”

Fall Must-Have: The Leather Trouser
With fall just around the corner, I’m getting really excited about wearing hoodies, sweaters, and yes, leather pants.
It’s all about leather weather in my eyes and I already have a ton of outfits that I want to wear with my these trousers. Here I wore it with an oversized Balenciaga shirt, though it looks equally as amazing with a simple white tank, a black sweatshirt, or even a camel coloured blazer, which means these leather trousers are the ultimate fall must-have.
If you prefer faux leather, check out these ones from Nanushka. They’re ridiculously soft, easy to care for and best of all, they’re high quality so they’ll last season after season.

Trying Pantene’s New Sulfate-Free Rose Water Collection
A couple of years ago I was excited to try this incredible smelling sulfate-free shampoo that I had received from PR. The bottle retails for around $50 and was the hottest thing in sulfate-free hair care at the time.
I stepped into the shower, excited to lather up only to find nothing happened. No lather whatsoever. It felt like a cream had taken the place of my normal shampoo and somehow this cream was supposed to wash my 4-day old hair. Um, Okay.
I let my hair air dry like normal only to find that my roots felt weighed down with shampoo residue. The whole experience didn’t exactly leave me with clean hair which was extremely frustrating, to say the least.
Since that experience, I’ve stayed away from sulfate-free hair products because I just assumed they don’t work on my thick hair.
As you might already know, I’m a BIG fan of Pantene so when I was sent a bottle of their sulfate-free Rose Water collection, I was intrigued but didn’t want to get my hopes up.
I tried the Rose Water shampoo for the first time just shortly after getting a fresh balayage knowing that the formula is:
- colour safe
- sulfate-free
- paraben-free
- dye-free
- hydrating
- rich in antioxidants
Plus I trust Pantene and have always had a positive experience with their shampoos and conditioners.
To my surprise, the Rose Water shampoo worked into a luxurious lather in my hair. The shampoo is clear and smells subtly of rose water, which I love.
After shampooing, I worked the Rose Water conditioner into my hair and let it sit for a minute before rinsing it away, along with my tangles. This formula is said to instantly release nutrient-rich hydration leaving hair replenished, shiny and smooth. I kid you not, Pantene makes some of the best conditioners around and this one didn't disappoint.
Okay, so it passed the lather test. Seeing whether or not my hair was actually clean once I dried was the next test.
Once dry, my hair felt clean, hydrated, and soft. No residue weighing down my roots either. Pass!
For a few months now I’ve been alternating between the Rose Water collection and my other Pantene fave, the Smooth & Sleek collection. My balayage colour is still in check and I’m really happy with the health and manageability of my hair.
I have to say that Pantene’s Rose Water collection outperformed that high-end $50 bottle by a long shot. It didn’t leave my hair weighed down with a film like the other brand. I also didn't have to sacrifice the lather in my shampoo and still had the benefits of a hydrating, antioxidant rich formula. There were no compromises and it worked as effectively as expected from Pantene.

Wearing Neon Is Easier Than You Realize
A wardrobe built on core staples (well-fitting jeans, classic blazers, and basic t-shirts), will allow for a lot of versatility each season. I believe that accessories are the way to go if you want to bring your outfit to life and drastically change the vibe of what you’re wearing.
For example, the addition of this neon yellow Balenciaga Ville Top Handle XXS small tote to my black and white outfit just makes it come to life. Not to say there’s anything wrong with black and white, but sometimes I just want a pop of colour.
Since I bought this bag at the end of summer, I had to be thoughtful about how it would fit into my fall wardrobe. I can see it going well with a leather moto jacket, a black wool coat, black trousers, and black ankle boots.
It’s all a matter of incorporating neon into my closet in small doses via a handbag or a pair of shoes.
When you’re wondering if you can rock neon yourself, go small and see if it’s right for you. Of course, you don’t have to invest in Balenciaga to try this trend for yourself - which is why I added a section below on how you can shop my look for less.
Remember, it’s fashion, so enjoy yourself and don’t overthink it!

URBAN DECAY'S Waterproof Perversion Mascara WILL NOT SMUDGE (even in this hot & humid summer)
Admittedly, trying new mascaras is not my favourite thing as I know that I’ll inevitably end up looking like a raccoon at some point in the day. My lower lashes happen to be freakishly long, which is both a blessing a curse.
If you’re a smudger, like me, then you know how hard it is to find a good mascara. Because of that, I have a very small roster of brands that I can rely on - CoverGirl, CHANEL, Maybelline, and, well that’s pretty much it.
As much as I love Lancome and L’Oréal mascaras for their volume building, clump-free, lengthening qualities, they will eventually smudge throughout the day so I’ll never wear them for a night out.
SHOP MY LOOK
In addition to the smudging, I also have the sort of lashes that will, without a doubt, lose their curl and straighten out again if I don’t use waterproof mascara. Yes, this is a thing and I’m very jealous of people who can curl their lashes, apply any mascara, and move on with their day. That, however, is not an option for me.
Upon receiving Urban Decay’s Perversion Waterproof mascara as PR, I was excited because brands very rarely send waterproof mascaras for review.
I tried it for the first time on a hot and humid day, where I was working away at my desk up until about 5 pm and had to attend an event later that evening. Those types of days are very stressful for me because I’m trying to get as much done as possible before facing an hour-long commute into the city. I digress.
The first stroke of mascara thickened and lifted my lashes as I applied it in a zig-zag motion from the root to tip. The second coat, which I’ll do for more volume, was even better with no signs of clumping along the way.
SHOP MY URBAN DECAY LOOK
As I went on with my day, I actually forgot that I was testing out new mascara because I didn't find myself wiping away any annoying smudges.
I got back home at about 10 pm exhausted and ready for bed. My lashes were still intact and it was clear that Urban Decay’s Perversion Waterproof mascara held up beautifully without any signs of smudging or flaking.
With the price tag of $32, it’s more expensive than its drugstore counterparts but cheaper than my beloved CHANEL mascara (which I’ll buy once a year as a beauty treat).
Well done Urban Decay, you get two thumbs up from me!

Outfit Idea: How To Dress Up Without Wearing A Dress
It’s not often I dress up, but every so often I will. Leather trousers instead of the standard dress keeps me true to my style.
Here I paired it with a sheer polka dot blouse from Zara that features a bow and voluminous sleeves. To keep the top modest, I added the Knix Evolution tank underneath which has a built-in bra, so there are fewer straps, and layers to deal with.
From leather pants, to pretty blouses, and pant suits, there are so many more options than ever before. If dresses aren’t your thing, just think about wearing what makes you happy but polish off the rest of your look. Keep your hair and accessories elegant and chic and no one will blink twice. ;)
WHAT I’M WEARING
BLOUSE, Zara sheer blouse with bow
PANTS, Leather trousers from Revolve
TANK, Knix Evolution tank
BAG, Balenciaga XXS Everyday Tote
SHOES, Balenciaga BB Knife Mule

13 Hailey Bieber Outfits To Copy
Hailey Bieber's style is laid back and effortlessly chic, basically everything I want in my own style. Whenever I need some outfit inspo, I always turn to her. Here are the best Hailey outfits, in my opinion anyway.
I've linked similar items below so you can get her look.
1. Hailey wears a bright pink pair of pants with a a light grey sweatshirt, and Alexander Wang pouch.
2. This post gym outfit is perfect for running errands on the weekend.
3. Hailey takes an elegant satin dress and makes it day time appropriate by pairing it with sneakers and an oversized khaki jacket.
4. A white suit with a contemporary twist via Off-White sneakers.
5. The only way to travel - in comfort.
6. Another post gym outfit, this time with neon green biker shorts.
7. Love the Louis Vuitton biker jacket but it’s not the must budget-friendly option. Copy Hailey’s look by going for a printed leather jacket instead.
8. I’d like to know how many biker shorts this girl has in her closet. I’d also like to know if I can work out with her. LOL
9. Similar bright pink pants to the first outfit, but this time worn with a Fear Of God oversized denim jacket and pink Balenciaga slides and earrings.
10. Here Hailey wears a cropped Champion hoodie and high-waisted pants.
11. Colour coordination at its best. Take note blondes - camel looks phenomenal with your hair colour.
12. Fall is just around the corner and I’m already making a mental note that I need a gorgeous camel coat like the one Hailey is wearing.
13. Last but not least, camel toned sweatpants, with a plaid blazer, and a black beanie.
