SCENT

As I get older, I start to appreciate certain things like: quality pajamas, a great swimsuit, and 

fabulous perfume. I'm one of those people who only had perfume if it was gifted to me during a holiday. On the rare occasion I purchased my own, it was Ralph Lauren Blue (which was great by the way). The most recent perfume I purchased was Miss Dior which smells great. Now, I want something new. 

I was introduced to some amazing fragrances when I went to the Beauty Week preview at Saks a couple weeks ago. I love scents that aren't super "flowery." Not surprisingly, I'm drawn to unisex scents because they remind me of cologne. All the scents below are unique and certainly unforgettable once you smell them. 

Carven Le Parfum

Bond No. 9 Signature (for men and women!)

Miss Dior Cherie

Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb

L'Eau de Chloe

Tom Form Violet Blonde

Elie Saab Le Parfum

NAVY LEATHER

Alexander Wang "Rockie" Bag - Lanvin Contrasting Leather Trainer

Zara Straight Leather Midi Skirt - Gap Large Leather Tote

Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Top Handle Satchel - Chloe Scalloped Leather Flats 

Zara Basic Heel Leather Court Shoe - Lita Leather Biker 

One thing that has been catching my eye lately is all the navy leather items I've been seeing around. I have always been a fan of navy but never really considered how great the color looks on a great structured bag or moto jacket. It offers a great, subtle departure from traditional black. I'm really liking that Gap tote. It would make a great work bag. 

TO: MOM

Clarisonic Mia (similar more affordable option here) // J. Crew necklace // J. Crew vintage pajama set // Chloe eau de parfum spray 1oz // Rifle Paper Co. Mother's Day cards  // Monserat De Lucca necklace set // J. Crew Tartine Satchel

I love Mother's Day gifts. I think it's the one time where you can buy something your mommy can indulge in. I personally won't buy my mom something that I wouldn't want to borrow.

What are you getting your mom for Mother's Day?
