...We stayed in the Fairmont Palliser, Calgary last weekend after a week long Ski holiday to the Rocky, Purcell and Kootenay mountains. (6 mountains in 8 days - just to make any skiers reading jealous!!) It was a great place for some luxury after skiing all week! We didn't really use too many of the facilities as we only stayed one night but the public areas of the hotel are exceptionally grand but not at all stuffy. This is Calgary, after all! One thing I would say is that the prices advertised on Ciao for a stay here are a ripoff. We paid C$130 (~£75) for a queen room on a Saturday night. Our room was very clean and comfortable.

...Princess by Vera Wang. Princess has been beautifully crafted and designed by Vera Wang. She already has a collection of three other designer perfumes for women, and one for men. But this one is completely different. -The aesthetics- The prefume is presented in a heavy, glass, heart shaped bottle. The name is delicately wriiten in black italic writing across the front. The colour of the actual perfume is a light, airy lilac. On the top of the bottle, is the cap, a lovely gold detailed crown with mini, sparkling amethyst gems. Which insides, holds a secret ring. -The scent- Its exotic, fruity and floral. One spray, and its left lingering sweetly in the air. its definetly a 'girly' perfume. Its romantic and sexy, to be worn casually or formally. The dramatic twist of vanilla and pink guava, makes is smell divine and completely... Read review
