Ooh la la… that’s the word I murmured when I smelled YSL’s latest creation Parisienne. Like the commercial, the perfume is definitely sensual and feminine. To me, it’s really pretty floral and is light enough for work, wear day & night.
I like everything about this perfume… the fragrance, the bottle, its name… makes me want to put on a sexy dress and enjoy a night out in Paris. The perfume is supposedly meant to evoke the morning after, well, a hookup.
The essence of a woman who is incredibly free.
She is not from Paris but Paris adopts her.
Because she knows how to love, how to live.
PARISIENNE, the fragrance of ultra femininity, ultra sensuality.
A grand floral with a woody structure, luminous even in its mystery.
I’m happy that there is a Parisienne Gift Set $65 ($93 Value) where you get not only the spray but lotion & shower gel as well. What a bargain!
One of the hottest fashion trends for fall/winter 09 is undoubtedly leopard prints. And, of course, no one dresses in leopard better than Kate Moss! Kate has been flaunting her love of leopard prints for several years now. She has an amazing collection of “leopardy” stuff - dresses, tops, coat/jackets, shoes, scarves, handbags, etc. I’m a sucker for leopard things as well. Even more so after I see how chic Kate looks in her leopard coat… undone glam at its finest.
The faux fur is the best option when it comes to leopard coats. A classic, rich looking jacket like these go a long way.
It’s a bold pattern so you have to dress smart like Kate. Sedate the rest of your outfit by keeping it simple. Stick to just one item, don’t dress head to toe. To satisfy your inner feline, wear it with:
Keep your feet cozy & stylish like Kate with these utterly adorable Original Muks! I keep telling myself… why didn’t I buy these before cause now my sizes are gone… only a few sizes to go around and maybe you are one of the lucky few to get yours!
Pick one up at Jildor Shoes for $400. Yes, not so cheap but seriously, they are the perfect winter boots, so fabulous… so plush… incredibly soft… I mean, you really have to see these in person, walk in them. Pictures don’t do justice. And those adorable pom-poms are to-die-for!
I flipped when I saw this pair - Juicy Couture Suede & Faux Fur Boots! Only about half the price of Muks, you can get both cuteness from the pom-poms & the coziness of faux fur. Dress it up or down, these babes will last and last… love Juicy Couture’s amazing quality! Sooooo cute! Yours for $195.
Today, Topshop launched the Kate Moss Autumn/Winter 09 Collection! I’m not as impressed with the SS 09 collection but a few pieces really stood out. Here are my favorites including the auburn blouse & the sequin playsuit from the Limited Edition which has some smashing glam pieces. Wow, my sizes on some flew out the door already!
The clothes look more expensive & chic on Kate… do you see that? I call it a Kate Effect! I’d rather prefer the color photos instead of these black & white though. So I can really gauge how they look on her.
I so crave Kate’s messy hairdo. Just like her fashion, her hairstyle is effortless, undone sexy. The straight-out-of-bed hair is easy to do and you can achieve this look on all lengths.
There are plenty of ways to get that messy yet sexy hairstyle. The way I do it is as simple as 1-2-3! Two things I skip here though - brushing & blow drying! Remember, the key to this look is imperfect and undone style!
Wash your hair.
When hair is slightly damp, apply your favorite texturizing cream. Finger comb through the hair with your head flipped.
Let air dry naturally!
If want that piecey look, apply just a little bit of mousse or gel.
I finish it with a bit of serum to tone down the frizz. Voila!!!
