Perfume: The Ultimate Accessory

“A woman’s perfume tells more about her than her handwriting.” – Christian Dior

I used to be the type of girl who didn’t like perfume.  It’s such a personal thing and  I never found one I could identify with.  My fear with perfume was that I’d choose one that people associated with someone else or that they didn’t like.  I used to know a girl in college who wore the same perfume as my grandma!  It was something that was really hard for me to get past!

My reservations with perfume melted away with my first test of Jo Malone’s Red Roses Cologne.  It actually smells like a gorgeous fresh bouquet of roses.  I have yet to meet anybody that doesn’t like the smell of roses!  Now I’ve become the girl that uses perfume as the ultimate accessory.  One spritz before walking out the door and my look is complete.

Book Review: The Little Dictionary of Fashion By Christian Dior

I love to read.  Especially books that ooze fashion!  I picked this one up on a whim and I’m really glad I did!  It’s exactly what it says: a dictionary of fashion terms through the eyes of Christian Dior.  He does give some good tips on how to wear items specific to your body type and you can definitely visualize his rules in his own couture line.  There are a few comical lines, though probably true, made me laugh.  One in particular, “I would not advise anyone to wear big jewels and expensive furs before marriage,” really got me giggling.  Overall this is a cute book and would make an excellent gift for any of the fashionistas in your life.  Enjoy!
