Keep yourself warm

23:26 Cupcake Splendens 0 Comments


Hello!
Do you live in Spain or any other hot, sunny country with a long summer and pretty blue sky?If so,you are so , so lucky!
But if you live in England , you must know that summer is very short , and the temperatures are not so high.
When I first moved to the UK I wasn't expecting so much rain and such low temperatures!
My first rent was very nice,a small cozy flat with only one room but enough for me and my boyfriend.

The cold weather gets me down very easy ,so when I'm in my room,I want to feel the heat.
I was super happy that my landlord had installed electric radiators .What a relief!
Such a quick and simple way to warm yourself and the room !

They are safe to use,safety is the no.1 priority for me.
I really prefer electric radiators because they are so simple to use,and you can also programme them to start heating the house just before you come home from work.
Also,they can be a great alternative if you want to save money on your  heating bill,some types of radiators can help you save up to 50% .

If you are redecorationg your house or just want to change your radiators , you can see HERE more options of radiators at good prices.

kisses,

How to Make Your Bedroom Look Luxurious

16:20 Cupcake Splendens 1 Comments

 Hi,loves! :)
If you have spent any time in a high end hotel, you already know that those rooms are luxurious and soothing at the same time. The room seems to grab a hold of your in comfort and give you one amazing night sleep. Can you imagine having that feeling every night when you get ready to go to bed? I was able to transform my bedroom with a few simple changes, and now I feel like I am sleeping in a five start hotel room each night.


The first thing I did was throw away my ten year old mattress and started looking for a new large mattress. I found a great selection of super king size mattresses online at CutPriceMattresses.  Even better still this enormous mattress was delivered the very next day. Now the first thing I did was pile up the pillows on the bed. Rather than just the two pillows at the top of the bed, I placed eight different pillows, ranging in size from really large to small, arranged in a way that made the bed look extremely inviting.
The next thing I did was upgrade my ceiling fan. Although that old white ceiling fan did provide a vital service, it was dated and looked like it belonged in a child's room. So I choose a nice bamboo paddle fan, something you would see outside at a Tiki bar in a tropical paradise. It was both elegant and functional, and really helped to create a luxurious feel in my bedroom.


The next thing I did was get longer and heavier curtains for all the windows in the bedroom. The length of the curtains helped to make the room appear bigger, providing me that extra focus to my beautiful king bed posts. The curtains also were heavy enough to block out light at night and dull noises from the neighborhood, a huge plus for my sleeping habits.


I purchased some candles that matched the bed set and curtains, then placed them on the dresser, end tables, and the top of the tall dresser. They help to set a romantic mood as well as give the room that classy look and feel.

One thing I loved about the hotel rooms I frequent is the cozy sitting area. I took my cue from there and got a comfortable chair for the corner, a unique overhead lamp, and placed them on a thick rug. The area helps to give me a place to unwind rather than laying down on the bed.

Have you done any changes to your room?

OOTD: These red boots are made for walkin'

17:40 Cupcake Splendens 0 Comments

Hello!

I am slowly packing for my holiday and looking through my stuff I found this amazing pair of red boots .
When I look at them I always remember Jessica Simpsons video ,where she looked her best while wearing those red boots.I think this might be the reason why I chose to buy them.




Because the boots are the "star" of the outfit,I wanted to wear a simple black top and some black  leather leggings.
My makeup is also very simple to do,I chose to do a black cat eye and wear a red-orange lipstick that would match my outfit.


       

Shoes - Jessica Buurman
Leggings - USC

Have a nice week! :)

Lasts drops of Summer

17:46 Cupcake Splendens 0 Comments

Hey!
I can't believe it's already the mid of August!
Even if these are the last days of summer,I want to make the most of them,so in a week I will be heading back to my home country ,where the temperatures are much more higher than in UK.
In my town there's a salted lake ,and  people say that the water is so salted that you don't even have to swim,the water will keep you on top.
I really can't wait to go there again . :D



For my holiday I picked a new swimsuit from a site called Rosegal.com.
The prices are quite small,so give it a try .:)




This is the swim suit,it looks a little bit different from the website,but it's a nice one .
If you have big hips like moi , than you must order a bigger size. I ussualy wear M, but this time I should have opted for L.


Also I picked this bracelet,which I like a lot!
It reminds me of currants,I want to eat it. :D
.

Tell me,what are your plans for the last days of summer?

kisses,

Perfume Collection - Lancome Paco Rabanne DKNY Kate Moss

23:49 Cupcake Splendens 2 Comments


I just realised that I have quite a few perfumes and my collection is getting bigger and bigger so I told myself,why not do a post about it?
Having a nice,quality perfume is essential for me.
These are the perfumes that I have right now,I am not a fan of fresh perfumes,even if it's for men,I prefer sweet ones that I can wear all day long,so 4 of them smell like roses,while another one is a little bit fresh and the other one is musky.



Black XS - It was love at first sniff...
I actually waited for 3 years to buy it...but I eventually got it this year!It's my all time favourite.
I know that it might sound strange,but I feel more confident and positive when I wear it.
I tried more Paco Rabanne perfumes,even Black XS L'exces ,but I prefer this one.



007 For HER- my boyfriend bought it for my birthday,it reminds me of my very first perfume that I received as a gift from my mom almost 18 years ago.
It smells like berrys,it's very feminine and I really like to wear it in the morning.
Unfortunately,it's not very persistant,I cannot feel it anymore after a couple of hours.


Midnight Rose
I usually wear this perfume in the evening.As the name says- Midnight Rose- is a soft , nightish perfume,that I usually like to wear if I go for a date with my fiance or have dinner with friends.
It's a very delicate perfume,and the bottle has a perfect purple ombre.I love the details.


Kate Moss Summer Time- I had every Kate Moss perfume except Vintage.And yes,I consider buying it.
Each and every one of her perfumes are unique,but quite similar.They are gentle,romantic,feminine.
This is your perfect scent for a hot summerish day.


Before buying  DKNY -Be Delicious I tried it at a store on a piece of paper.Such a big mistake!
On my skin it smells totally different so I had quite a surprise realising that it was smelling very fresh-and strange- on my skin.I will give it to my aunt soon,it totally doesn't suite me.
But what I like about it is that the smell is very persistant,I can feel it even after 8 hours.



Rise-Beyonce- my boyfriend bought this one for Christmas.
I wear this perfume when I feel like doing something different.It's a musky perfume.
You see,I like wearing my clothes and my perfume depending on my mood.
And if I'm wearing Rise,than I'm feeling myself .

Do you have a favourite perfume?Which one?

kisses,
