NEW Product: benefit b spot »

Brand: benefit
Name: b spot
Size: 50 ml / 1.7 fl. oz.
Price: $38 USD

“Every gal’s got one (a few, actually)… b spots, that is. Awaken your most seductive pulse points with this new fragrance from Benefit. It’s a sexy combo of lush mango; faster, faster, freesia; provocative peony & steamy sandalwood… and don’t forget to shake, shake, shake your amber, baby!” (from the Benefit web site)

Although I’m all for light, summery scents as soon as the warmer weather hits town, I’m not sure about the “mango” in this fragrance. I mean, I love the smell and taste of mangoes, but not sure if I want to walk around personally smelling like one.

Hopefully the other scents in this product balance out the fruity fragrance - I can’t wait to check this out and give it a whiff!

Just Admiring the Resort 09 Collections: A Few Favourites »

Even though the Resort collections are becoming more and more important, they don’t seem to have the directional importance that greatly infleunce trends. But the clothes are usually also a lot more practical and relateable. So this year I actually looked through most of the collection on style.com and picked out my favourite outfits:

3.1 Phillip Lim
As usual, his collection is very loveable. Most of the clothes look so young, modern and perfect for people who have the parties to go to (and the money to spend.)

These day dresses are so cute. I love the colour combinations -of the jacket with the navy dress and of the light green dress with the dark green belt. I’m really loving the long jacket with mini dress combination at the moment.

Phillip Lim’s cocktail dresses never disappoint. They look so customer-friendly and imagine if you had loads of events to attend about town, then the dresses look like they’ll be suitable for so many dresses.

Nina Ricci
Everything is so delicate and so etheral looking (-maybe it’s just the models,) with a bit of edge.

Lanvin
The Lanvin collection was great to ooh and ahh over as usual, but there’s a bit too much of eveningwear and expensive dresses to truly imagine them being worn by myself in real life. I love the loose-fitting, silk, white jacket with those large pockets (on the right.) It’s so casual yet cool and luxurious at the same time.

There were a lot of sharp colours, as expected from Lanvin, although it seems to be the general trend for next year too, especially yellow and orange.

OK, this post is obviously not so much of a fashion analysis post and more of a ooh-this-is-so-pretty post. These clothes somehow look so much cooler and more modern than this season’s floral dresses.
