Hi!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found myself in a store a few days ago looking for a dress to wear for a wedding today. I didn't find anything, or more like I did but they were too expensive to consider actually buying, but I found this camo print shirt which was just N3,000...of course I was there for that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was buying it, I pictured it with jeans or leggings...'cause it has a longer than usual hem. But here I am wearing it with a skirt :D</div>

The Review: Decadence - Marc Jacobs

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Heyyyy,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So! This perfume I'm going to tell you about, quote me when I say discovery of the century.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ok, let me not get ahead of myself. Instead, I'll stick with my regular script. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">THE BOTTLE:</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Ok, let the gushing begin. What?! Do you see the prettiness of this bottle too, or am I just in love all on my own? Like, who thought this bottle into reality? The purse shape? That person deserves an award. It is PERFECTION! Like, so cute. Can I just hang it on my shoulder though. I actually held it by the chain strap (with so much fear and trembling) to see if it would hold up and weirdly it did. I figure it does this by od'ing on magnets to keep the cover stuck to the bottom half.  </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ok, let's pretend the handbag idea wasn't already cute on its own, what of the faux python skin top cover??? So lush. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Prettiest bottle ever, I'm sorry but I can't stop gushing. I can stop this review here and say make sure you buy this just for the bottle alone. Hands up if you would. </span></div>

<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">THE SMELL: </strong><span style="border: 0px currentColor; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">Guys, how can I explain the smell of perfection to you? I'm lost for words. Ok, enough drama, but this is honestly my fave fragrance of the year. Considering we're in the 5th month already, I wouldn't say it's too early to come to that conclusion. What are the odds of finding another smell this heavenly? Let me tell you what Marc Jacobs says. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">"Decadence is a sensual, luxurious, woody fragrance, embodying the spirit of irreverent glamour.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">The fragrance opens with sultry top notes of Italian plum, iris flower, and saffron. The heart opens with luxurious notes of Bulgarian rose, jasmine sambac, and orris. The indulgent dry down reveals the base notes of vetiver, papyrus woods, and liquid amber".</span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">THE VERDICT: </b>I love this smell, it appeals to me on every note. It's husky, musky and sweet at the same time...it smells like sweet musky wood mixed with fruits and roses, there's no other way to describe its luxurious scent. It's truly decadent. 100% in my books.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you're in Nigeria, the good people of Essenza sell this for about N22/N27,000? Can't remember exactly, but be ready to spend about that much.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border: 0px; clear: both; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">

Hi Guys!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you shopped <a href="http://www.the5kshop.com/" target="_blank">The 5k Shop</a> ever? Well, if you have, then you're ok. If you haven't, whyever not? They sell a variety of stuff, beauty, accessories, clothes, for just 5k...well, I haven't seen anything above N5,000 and from the name of the store, I'm guessing that's what they were trying to achieve. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I bought the waterfall jacket I'm wearing from them for N5,000 and it's so pretty, don't you agree? It also comes in Houndstooth, Rust/Orange and Cobalt Blue. You should know that it's pretty thick wool, so if you plan to wear this out in the sun and all that, nah. Don't consider it. Consider it as a sleeveless "coat" because it's almost that thick and should be worn in cool temperatures e.g., in my church where I believe their plan is to freeze us all to ice cubes. </div>
