I do love pretty office stationery and sending cards and invites to those closest to me. When I got asked to try out Paperless Post it was perfect timing as I am hoping to have a baby shower and wanted to find some invites. For those of you who don’t know Paperless Post, it’s an online invitation company that allows you to customise and send invites for all occasions including birthdays, anniversaries, wedding stationery and thank you cards. The great thing about Paperless Post is the huge variety of different designs and styles to choose from, even collections from designers such as Kate Spade which I love. There must have been nearly one hundred designs to choose from as I spent about an hour browsing the different collections!

With summer well and truly settling in, what better way to start the week with a few of my favourite summer fragrances. I regularly change my scent depending on the season and the occasion which is why I like to have plenty to choose from. If your looking for something feminine and floral, then look no further as Miu Miu has the perfect scent for you. For those of you who like a citrusy scent then Chloé Nomade or Gucci Bloom Acqua Di Fiori is the one for you. If your like me and love a gourmand fragrance and something sugary then Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf, which was recently included in my holiday beauty essentials post is a winner. Not forgetting the guys out there, there is always a new fragrance that wins me over, that is why my husband has enough fragrance to last him a lifetime! Although a little pricey, Clive Christian is amongst his favourites, usually worn for those special occasions! As the world’s leading perfume house, they have so many different fragrances and a great way to try them out is their Twist Discovery Set, which features the perfect summer perfumes, including citrus, floral and gourmande scents. My Favourite is the citrus floral fragrance with black cherry, acacia and cedarwood, very addictive!

It’s that time of year when you want to just cosy up on the couch and watch Christmas films, eat chocolate and burn a beautiful smelling candle! This time of year I’m always on the look out for lovely gifts for both myself to indulge in and also for my loved ones. Who doesn’t love a luxury candle? This Jo Malone Candle was bought for me as a moving in gift and I was really excited to use it however the packaging is so beautiful that I kept it in the box for a good few weeks. My favourite scent from the Jo Malone collection is Pomegranate Noir as it combines fruity notes of raspberry, pomegranate and plum with pink pepper and spicy woods, a must have winter scent. A little pricey for a candle at £45 but it does burn for approx 45 hours!! To buy this Jo Malone Candle click here.

Manchester House is one of the most talked about venues in the city and this is why…it’s well known for the fine dining restaurant led by head chef Aiden Byrne but what many people don’t know is that there is another level of excitement in this venue, a very elegant lounge and bar area on the twelfth floor serving all kinds of cocktails, spirits, champagne and a selection of snacks. Each of the tables are located by the window so you can enjoy an afternoon cocktail with a fabulous panoramic view of the city!
