Carthusia...what I'm wearing today

It's been a while since I dusted off my most treasured bottle of perfume  

Carthusia Mediterraneo.  I've been in the mood to be transported to the island of Capri where scents of lemon, jasmine, magnolia, and fig linger through the mediterranean.  

When Jackie O used to visit the island, she would often stop in at the perfumery and buy a bottle of Capri, her signature scent.

I've been to Italy, but never to Capri.  It's one of my top places to visit - I can't explain it, but I just have a special place in my heart for the Mediteranean.  How great would it be to sit here perched on top of the sea drinking Limoncello??  I can just picture the smells of the island in the air.  

My Capri will have to be in L.A. lounging at my pool, with sunglasses, beach towel, and rag mag in hand.  

God I need a vacation!

Beige is the new black

I'm so excited that beige, camels, tans, and nudes are THE colors for fall and winter! To start, Chanel's Beige perfume tops my list! When I hear the word "beige" I don't necessarily think of perfume, but this one just sounds clean, feminine, and the perfect splash for daytime.

This is how I will be updating my wardrobe post-pregnancy. I will be adding lots of beige, creams, and tans to my existing dark staples. Season after season, I am in search of the perfect creamy closet staples and I am sooooo excited that this color has popped up everywhere this year! Notice the gold signet ring, love that, and those boots are to die for!

Seriously, can I get one of these creamy tufted chairs with nail head trim? I think it would be killer in a room with black walls!

Use beige in the bedroom to contrast with crisp whites.

I love a beigy headboard to stand up to all the white.

Happy Fall weekend my friends!

Things I Love

Chanel Gardenia is something I wear daily and I couldn't get my day going without a couple of spritzes of this!

Tea and French macarons my favorite! And pretty to look at!

Anything that reminds me of Paris j'ai adore

Pretty Perfumes

It's that time of year again when perfume gift sets are in abundance at my favorite department stores. Take a peek at the prettiest bottles yet! Better yet, next time your at the counter, give yourself a spritz or two and have fun! There's nothing more transforming than a seductive scent to bring out your better self!

Chanel No. 5, need I say more??!!

Try any of Tom Ford's many scents laced with musk, tobacco, and vanilla.

Jo Malone is always a classic! I just love her rose and citrus fragrances.

I have Versace Crystal Noir in my own personal collection, the bottle looks beautiful on my dressing table, but the scent is to die for! I always get compliments on this one.

Perfume

I don't leave home without it.

The best gift I received for Christmas was a huge bottle of Chanel's Gardenia that is now discontinued!!! It looks so pretty in the center of a big tray on my vanity!
