now smell this

Some people like perfume. I love it. Yes, I know there are those that wear too much and that is not what I am talking about here. True fragrance admirers are always on the search for their next pick. I fall in love with a new scent about every 1 - 2 years. Right now my favorite is "pure grace" by Philosphy (the brand has like 5 styles of grace - baby, amazing and others). It is soft and sublte like clean clothes or fresh soap, it is very light and feminine. Love this scent so much.

Perfume is all about memories. I have many bottles and just seeing them makes me happy. Chanel No. 5, Shalimar, Fracas, Halston, Love's Baby Soft, Crystalle, L'air de Temps, Blue and my all time favorite The Perfect Veil. It makes me swoon. Each one gives me memories through my life. A quick spritz can take me back to a 7th grade dance, a good friends wedding, my first real job, a romantic night or a reminder of someone I love.
And if you are a child of the 70s you will remember this:

"I can't seem to forget you. Your Wind Song stays on my, Wind Song stays on my, Wind Song stays on my-y mind." Prince Matchabelli baby!

Sesame Street was so flipping cool. So hip. The cool glasses and the crazy one's vest and hair! I loved this as a kid and it is still cool. Cool for parents too. Now I miss the ladybug picnic.

i love shopping bags

Yes fall 2009 shows are now in NYC, but spring is is around the corner, so here are a few accessories from spring fashion 2009 Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld's leather shopping tote is classic and I love it. Plus his glamorous and very girlie heels that are vintage Hollywood, especially with the sheer black stockings w/seam. Sexy.

sooo good. must see

Slumdog Millionaire is my favorite movie this year. A must see. The children will steal your heart. Also, the soundtrack is filled w/super dancy trances. Jai ho and the popular Paper Planes by M.I.A. Check out a you tube remix or Jai ho.
