A New Face For Balenciaga Perfume!

     Balenciaga has brought on the starlet from The Twilight Series, Kristen Stewart.  She is currently their new face for their fragrance, Florabotanica.  Stewart says that the imagery of this fragrance is one of a girl sifting through a garden, gorgeous but intoxicating.  Flowers in gardens can be sweet and soft along with poisonous and dangerous.  The fragrance is meant to be worn by women who are mysterious and daring.  I think Kristen Stewart is a perfect face for this scent because she is trendy, edgy and generally plays mysterious characters.  Go out and test it and tell me what you think!

Smells devine!

Ain't It Ombre!

     What do you all think about this ombre trend that's been going on for a while?  Started off with the hair and slowly moved to nails, clothing and then shoes.  Kinda cool, right?  

     Ombre is a slow fading of colors on a surface.  It can be subtle, harsh, from color to color and so on.    My opinion on ombre's is that they surely are eye catching because it's a little different, interesting to look at and draws your attention to the whole garment or accessory.  On the streets of New York guys are always checking you out.  You have the he-man construction worker that sees you coming from a mile away and waits until you've passed to say, "lookin' fine today baby".  Then you have the buttoned down, corporate, navy suit guy who is drinking you in with his eyes but when he opens his mouth nothing comes out.  An ombre however, even gets the women staring.  It's a hook, a catch, a physically attracting site.

     Will they be the haute of style for ever?  No, probably not.  I mean after all, we humans have short attention spans!  So, they tend to either love it, hate it or embrace it for a certain grace period and then move on to the next new thing.  Try it out, even if it's just to say you did!

   

I'm faded!
