Champaca Absolute

Purchasing perfume has become an average event for the average person.

Today, you can walk in to a drug store to grab some gum and "perfume."

As a child, I remember my mother having a distinct scent.. it was Guerlain's Samsara.

I knew when my mother was present.

It was comforting.

Perfume was never meant to be cheap or to be used excessively.

I personally only have two.

Guerlain's Samsara & Tom Ford's Champaca Absolute.

It's not because I can't go out and purchase more.. or that I can't go out an purchase $20 scents.

But it's because I want to stay true to the tradition of perfume.

And I wish to have the same scent recognition with my family as my mother did with us.

Work

I have been in love with maxi dresses lately!
I love this outfit!
Silk maxi dress with an open white Alexander McQueen blazer over top!
Not to mention the maj Celine Trapeze bag and Michael Kors Parker Watch!

I'm in love.

Tom Ford Beauty

I have always been a huge believer in Tom Ford.. the man is quite frankly a genius. When he began making his own line of clothing, handbags, sunglasses and fragrances.. I was 100% on board from the moment I heard it. Then I heard that there was going to be a Tom Ford line of beauty products.. and of course I needed to have them! Here's a little sample of what he has going on.

Intensive Fusion Daily Moisturizer ($230 - Neiman Marcus)

Foundation ($78 - Neiman Marcus)

Nail Laquer ($480/Box Set - Neiman Marcus)

The line includes an extensive line of beauty treatments, make-up (including face, eyes and lips) and brush sets (which can only be uber luxe).. I can't wait to get my hands on them!
