*Currently Listening: I Am The Best by 2ne1 (did I just openly admit that!?! Yep, totally listening to K-Pop Pandora to wake me up!)
I really want to write about two things: 1) how it makes my blood boils that any man has that audacity to tell me what I can and cannot do with my uterus and how much I want them to LEAVE PLANNED PARENTHOOD the F alone!!!! They don't just perform abortions you twits!! and 2) the AMAZING nude patent leather Jimmy Choo pumps I found at Second Time Around yesterday. Don't worry, I'll post pics....of the pumps - not my uterus - at the end of the post. Instead, let's talk about fall fragrance cravings.
September 1st signals moving day in Boston. The city, particularly the student neighborhoods (which I live SORT of in one), turn all kinds of crazy! I don't think anyone in my house is moving, I haven't heard the tell-tale thump, thump, thumps of packing. While I hate the craziness that moving day brings, I can't help but think about FALL! I love FALL!!! Something about the cool, crisp air makes me feel particularly alive and my self esteem tends to be just a little bit better!
I'm doing to SERIOUS craving for two of the Tom Ford Private Blends: Tobacco Vanille and Tuscan Leather. To me Tobacco Vanille smells like the bedazzled cigar bar of my dreams where everyone looks like Don Draper and Joan Holloway. I've already written about my thoughts of Tuscan Leather on the blog: leather and raspberries....mmmmm sexy!
Speaking of raspberries, I really feel that I need to put Byredo's Pulp in there. Not that berries are particularly fallish, but there's a dark quality to Pulp that I think lends itself to the cooler temperatures, especially for daytime wear. Well, I've also been readings the Hunger Games books as if my life depended on it. That may have something to do with the berries.
What are you craving for the fall fragrance-wise? Share with us in the comments and have a fantastic smelling and safe Labor Day weekend!
Oh yeah...THE SHOES!!!!!

ReplyDeleteit's heading up to 90 degrees here today - I cannot wait until autumn and sweaters!
LOLZ! I finally enjoyed a blissfully quiet ride home on the train last night. It's just the first week of school. They're all still studying.
DeleteI want to read Hunger Games! I need to find them at Half Price.
ReplyDeleteLately, I've been craving woodsy-mossy things. Sort of weird for me. It's that time of year though! I have been wearing the two Tableau de Parfums perfumes nearly nonstop (both of them, to me, have a strong emphasis on woodsy drydowns) and this Hove Parfumeur perfume Diverti I tried yesterday has the most amazing mossy-woody drydown. Love it.
Looking at that picture of moving freaks me out a little. We're moving in April and I'm already dreading it.
I JUST finished the second book this morning.
DeleteGood luck w/ the move! Start purging your things NOW!
My fall cravings are Ormonde Jayne Ta'if edp (saffron/rose) and Vero Profumo Rubj edp (passionfruit/cumin). I completely swoon over both of these. Everyone says Ta'if is for evening but I don't get that from it--not sure what the deal is, it seems fairly casual to me for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI read the first Hunger Games book and though it was very good, it was *hard* for me to read as a parent!! (About which I feel a bit silly...Hey me! It's FICTION!) My 11-year-old daughter was disappointed in the movie: "Not enough gore!" Huh? How did I produce her when I was The Biggest Movie Fraidy-Cat Ever?

I could TOTALLY see Ta'if for the day, but then again I tend to get a bit "heavy handed" w/ my "night time" fragrances.
DeleteI liked the movie BECAUSE it wasn't super gorey!
Oh thank goodness someone else agrees with me on Ta'if for day!
DeleteI prefer low-gore myself--I can't imagine where she got that yen from! She thought low gore = not true enough to the book. Personally, I'm happy not seeing the nitty-gritty on kids killing each other! I haven't seen it yet but I LOVE the images of the main character with her bow--she is badass!
Makes me wish I had learned archery. I'd love to learn how to fence as well. I just downloaded the third book onto my iPad. I don't know what I'll read after I'm done!
DeleteYes, it took us 2 hours to get from my boyfriend's friend's new apartment to our new apartment. 2 blocks away. It was great running into you though the other day! I hope you have a happy birthday...and I LOVE the Jimmy Choos!
ReplyDeleteOh the part of the city we live in! I hope y'alls new place is working out well. Yes! Glad we ran into one another. We should definitely find some time to hang out soon!
DeleteNot quite sure why I haven't seen before, your blog is amazing. Brazilian Blowout Price
