Hugo Boss The Scent Fragrance Launch

Earlier this month I went along to the fragrance launch of The Scent, a new fragrance for men by Hugo Boss. I was rather excited for this event as I was going along with fellow blogger L’Oréal and it was at Manchester’s Hotel Gotham in their private members bar, Club Brass.

As soon as we entered we were served with cocktails that were perfectly fitting to the theme of the event, with ingredients similar to those in The Scent and small squares of leather clipped onto the straws to give the leathery essence.

We were given a fragrance master class by fragrance scientist William Andrews, who helped develop The Scent. It was really interesting to learn about the process that goes into creating a fragrance. I had no idea how long it took to create the finished product, which can often be a few years.

The Scent is all about seduction. The fragrance has a sweet yet masculine scent; There’s a tingle of ginger, fresh lavender scent and then the leather smell comes later. So did the fragrance seduce me? Well it’s like William Andrews said ‘It’s the scent plus the man that makes the seduction’, so it’s a good job I got a bottle to take home to my boyfriend.

The Versatile Jumpsuit – Casual OOTD

I love owning garments that are super versatile. What better way to simplify your wardrobe than by purchasing items that can be worn for a variety of occasions.

You may recognise this jumpsuit from my previous blog post, where I styled it for a Wedding look. It’s funny how just by losing the bling and throwing on simple pumps and a cropped denim jacket, it’s instantly transformed into a cute and casual day to day outfit.

I wore this whilst wondering around Hamburg last weekend and was able to keep it casual whilst still feeling elegant.

I’ve been wearing this jumpsuit a lot recently and I’m already seeing it become a staple piece in my wardrobe. It’s so versatile and I love how I can wear it casual or dressy and even a simple jacket switch can change the look completely.

I think it’s great when you find garments that you can get lots of use out of, it often makes things so much easier when you have a ‘go to outfit’ to hand.

Wedding Guest Worthy? – The Black Culotte Jumpsuit

They say ‘never wear white to A wedding’ but what about black?

For a time I would have said black was far too morbid a shade to wear to a wedding. I love my brights, so any excuse I have to wear them and I usually jump at the chance (prints galore). Recently however, I’ve been seeing how simpler pieces can sometimes be a good investment, as they can be worn for more than one occasion.

Styling a classic black dress, or in this case a jumpsuit, the right way can easily make it wedding guest worthy. I’d say the key is to liven up your outfit with brighter accessories and avoid black shoes/accessories if possible. Remember you’re not going to a funeral and if it looks like you could be, change it!

The great thing about wearing black is that you have more opportunity to play with colours and patterns when picking out your accessories. A statement pair of shoes can really add that wow factor to an otherwise simple outfit. I went for this bold metallic pair that I recently purchased from Primark and this gorgeous gold/pearlescent effect bag from The Vintage styler. My gold chunky necklace added just a bit of bling and finished off my outfit perfectly.

Culotte Jumpsuit – M&Co

Heels – Primark (In store only)
