I have a new favorite in my perfume collection, a recent addition that seems perfect for winter – Lola (by Marc Jacobs). I just adored Pulp (by Byredo) for spring and summer but felt that I wanted something more spicy for fall/winter. Lola is the older vampier sister of Marc Jacob’s Daisy (a more sweet [...]

I have always been a fan of oils in beauty and skin care and have tried numerous types and brands throughout the years.

In L.A. I visited Barneys (Beverly Hills) absolutely divine perfume section and sniffed around even though I was not even looking to buy something. I stumbled upon the scents of the Swedish perfume house Byredo which my brother recently told me he has fallen in love with. I tried all of them and felt nice, [...]
