GENERAL CURIOSITIES #21

It’s good to be slowly getting back into blogging. As I’ve stated in my previous posts, I’ve been snowed under with work and all other spare time I have had I have been using it to relax. I have been relaxing by watching television, watching movies, eating and shopping! I haven’t been doing anything too riveting but I thought that I would show you with some of the stuff I have purchased this week.

I bought new perfume called Wish by Chopard. It is a parfum that has a very rich vanilla, caramel and sandalwood smell that is overlaid with a light sent of fruit and florals. And of course, being a sucker for packaging I was in love with the bottle as soon as I saw it.

I have started getting sick of lugging around a monstrous hard drive so I decided to buy a tiny 1TB USB 3.0 portable hard drive. It is so nice and light and weighs about one tenth of my other hard drives.

Here are some additional purchases that I couldn’t resist but take photos of. He bought an adjustable mouse that is aesthetically mind boggling.

This is mechanical keyboard that has no markings on the keys. It is fantastic to use (if you can touch type that is).

It’s good to be getting back into blogging. Hopefully I will have some swoon worthy posts for you soon!

GENERAL CURIOSITIES #10

This week (well technically last week since I was supposed to post this yesterday) has been all about leather, suede and motorbikes.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a leather skirt from the Height of Vintage store on Etsy. It finally arrived this week and I am absolutely in love with it! The leather is so soft and it is in fantastic condition for something that is vintage.

I also tried my hand at OPI’s suede nail polish (no pun intended). The colour I used is called We’ll Always Have Paris. It is amazing. It has flecks of glitter in it and is 100% matte. It requires no base or top coat and dries in 30 seconds. It is the perfect nail polish for the gal (or guy) on the go. I definitely want to get more suede colours.
