My Wish List.... Prada Fall/Winter 2013/14

This whole look is on my wish list. I love all about it: proportions, color combination, textures, and slightly undone vibe that comes from this look. I find that perfection can be boring. To me, this look is as exciting as an ocean breeze, and what can be better than that?

Perfume...Which One Is Your Favorite?

Perfume counters at the department store are so appealing to me!  Beautiful perfume bottles, alluring scents... every time I am tempted to stop by and try something new.  Even though I stop by very often, rarely I find something that smells as good as I thought it would be after 15 -20 minutes of me wearing this new perfume.  Most often than not,  I would want to get rid of that new fragrance as soon as possible.  This is the reason why I even don't dare spraying any of new scents on my hand any more, paper stick only.  I am not convinced yet that I want to smell like newly unwrapped MacBook, a new perfume Fashionista reported on recently, so... search is on.

Now you understand why I have hard time changing perfumes, even if I want to.  Currently I use Chanel #5, Prada Infusion D'Iris and Jo Malone Amber & Lavender.  You can say that those three scents cannot be more different and I totally agree with you.  This is exactly why I like it.   I like wearing different perfumes depending on my choice of clothing for the day.

I wear Chanel # 5 when I feel like wearing classics.  Prada Infusion D'Iris has very light floral scent and  I like wearing it when my look is natural and simple.  Jo Malone's Amber & Lavender I associate with fashion looks that is minimalistic and straight lines. 

Tip for sensitive noses:  The smell of Amber & Lavender is pretty strong compared to other two I use.  To make it easier on my senses I use the trick I learned from one French lady: I spray it on the BACK of my neck.  This way I have the scent I like but smell it "from the distance." 

In the past I used Chanel #19 and Coco Mademoiselle, which I liked a lot.  Probably I will get back to them if nothing else will catch my attention.  I would love to find THE one I don't know about yet.  What perfume do you love?  I need something new!
