Beauty Must Haves: Perfume

To me, perfume is an essential inexpensive luxury.  Wearing it and experiencing its scent can transform your mood (for better or worse!), and is a great way to express your personal style.  Here are a few of my faves:

Stella McCartney "Stella"...rose scented perfection.

Sage Machado "Pearl": a musk, indian sandalwood and vanilla scent that's both subtle and addicting.

Chanel "Coco Mademoiselle" is a good choice for evening.

"Kai" perfume oil, for gardenia lovers everywhere, is a perfect summer scent.

Jo Malone "Nectarine Blossom and Honey" : a beautiful, fresh scent perfect and light enough for everyday use.

Home Decor: Wall Flowers

I love the inexpensive yet chic design elements of wallpaper and even beautiful wrapping paper.  Why not use it as wall art...?

Street Style Muse: Kate Hudson

This girl has always been one of my favorites.  Kate's style is effortless chic.  She always looks cute, sexy and feminine.

Friday Favorite: Fashion Blogs

How fun is it to get style and fashion inspiration from real people?  It's one thing to admire a fashion editorial in a magazine, or carefully styled celeb, but to see what actual women wear on a daily basis? Brilliant!  There are many a fashion blog out there to keep you informed, entertained and inspired.  The Sartorialist, Sea of Shoes, Closet Visit, Stylelist, lookbook.nu the list goes on and on, and there's something for everyone.  One of my favorites is Stockholm Streetstyle, an online look book that features beautiful looks from beautiful people around the world.
