Yves Saint Laurent's Elle

I just got back from Paris and I'm recovering from walking, shopping, talking,Nuit Blanche, Jardin de Tulleries and my visit to the Basque Country.
Lots to share! Pics, stories and of course...Maquillage ( Makeup) and Fragrance.
First off, I'm going to share the fragrance of my dreams...literally. Yves Saint Laurent's Elle, its what I call the jeunesse fragrance- along the lines of My Dior Cherie by Dior and Chance by Chanel.
Normally, I am not enamored by Fragrances but this one hit the spot. Its fruity sophisticated mixed with Jasmin,Freesia and Pink Berry's- I can't wait to wear my samples. The Galleries Lafayette had an event for the fragrance which equaled beaucoup de samples.
Elle should be out in the states come November.

My Milan Fashion Week Lemming

Yes, it is Milano fashion week. No, I haven't covered any of it... yet.
But when checking out Style.com, I ran across Blumarine's eye-catching slip dress. The lace detail around the edges and the fluidity of the material turns my eyes into saucers.
Natasha Poly was first on the runway with a yellow one but the colors that caught my eye were the lavendar and the fuschia worn by Isabeli Fontana.
Now would Iwhere this as a dress? Not in public. But its so beautiful- I just had to share with you.

Welcome Back Shu!

Shu Uemura has returned to Sephora!
Well..at least to Sephora.com.
Th cult classic Shu Uemura Eyelash curler is back too! And they are introducing us to some other goodies.
Gloss Lacquer looks promising, I can't wait to try the fucshia to see the color pay off.
What I'm really hoping to try is the Deep Sea Water. When Shu was at my local Sephora in Fashion Valley they had these. I tried it on my hand and walked out the store. I figured.. this was useless but I was wrong. It moisturized my hand surprisingly so I'm anxious to try it again.

Lacroix's Going To Paris

That's right! I'll be in the City of Lights just in time for Fashion Week this year. Starting October 2nd I will be in Paris.
I'll be giving you the latest on Fashion and Beauty while away. Gearing up for my trip has been a challenge, the last time I went to Europe, I was at least allowed to bring some bottled water. Now I'm struggling with what to bring and what to buy when I get to my destination. Should I buy my Caudalie here or there?

Cavalli for H&M- November 8th

Get ready to mow someone down...j/k of course.
Cavalli for H&M would be perfect for all of you show stopping partyers that will parlay during the holidays.
Expect lots of leopard print, metallics, golds, pinks and silvers. Also expect the line to enter the store to be out the door and around the block.
Last year I participated in the Viktor and Rolf for H&M opening at the Beverly Center. It was one of the best experiences ever! I don't know if I will be hanging out of the store this year for Cavalli.. though I need a nice b-day and holiday dress..hmm.
