magic spell

c'mon get happy

1. arctic breeze scented soap, representing the eventual washing away of antarctica// via soap is beautiful, a blog about beautiful soaps. splish splash.

“I’m interested in this intangible, changing phenomenon that can’t be trapped or owned….I was taking this thing that is remote and far out from us, and soap [has] this idea of purity or hygiene, and I felt that there was an equivalence to our notion of icebergs and we have this uncomplicated view of what Antarctica is or what unspoiled nature is.” - David Kennedy Cutler, artist

2. illustration// via hello sandwich, a blog that makes me want to wear colors and be happier.

3. cloudy day meringues. to cheer you up when it's raining gloom// via griottes, a beautiful blog that makes me an even bigger french wannabe.

my scents

CK ONE: 

calvin klein's androgynous fragranance created in 1994. this makes me want to wear light washed jeans, a tank top, no bra, and messy hair. notes of subtle rose, sandalwood, patchouli, papaya, and jasmine.

RALPH LAUREN WILD:

smells like wild summer nights and the morning after sunrises. to be worn with cut offs over bikinis and on warm, tanned skin. it's a blend of wild strawberries, watermelon, cherry blossom, pink peppercorn, red petals, jasmine, amber, sandalwood and musk. though it is most definitely coy, it's not too girly.

 it's strawberry feilds forever.

CHANCE BY CHANEL:

young and classy. for women who love elegance, but will pass on the tweed and patent leather. should be worn under a gown that will soon be slipped off. it smells like patience and expectations and the heavy tension before a kiss. notes of hyacinth, white musk, pink pepper, jasmine, fresh vetiver, citrus, iris, amber and patchouli make it deeply feminine and passionate.
