So after being at Coachella all weekend, I’ve actually been thinking about getting a second tattoo. Ok, well I’ve actually been thinking about a second tattoo for about three years now but as of this past weekend, I’m getting a little more serious about it. As a strange coincidence, I just received some info on this cute link of tattoo-inspired fragrances by Inky, all of which are customized to fit individual personalities. Perhaps one of these fragrances will be a good placeholder until I can figure out my sitch? We will see. Sadly, they are not available online but you can grab one (or all of them) at your local Target for only $5.99!

Harajuku Lovers G of the Sea
So I’ve stated like 1,000 times how much I <3 Gwen Stefani so it should be no surprise that I’m currently obsessed with her latest fragrance, Harajuku Lovers G of the Sea.
Since “The Little Mermaid” was a childhood favorite, naturally I was drawn to this bottle. I mean, even if you’re not a Gwen fan, you’ve GOT to give this to me…the packaging is adorable. But packaging aside (we all know I’m a sucker), the limited-edition summer fragrance is an aquatic and fresh scent with top notes of crisp apple, water lily and sweet crushed berries. Summer perfection.

David Yurman Exotic Essence
So I’ve already done two posts about David Yurman beauty products because in all honesty, they are fantastic. I became obsessed with the body wash a few months back and while I was in New York recently, I smelled my friend April Franzino (from Fitness magazine) and had an “OMG, WHAT is that perfume?!” moment.
April told me that it was David Yurman’s Exotic Essence fragrance, new to his beauty line. I had to have it. According to the site, Exotic Essence is inspired by the sensual gemstone citrine and has top notes of sparking mandarin, mid notes of exotic woods (similar to my perfume fave, Narsisco Rodriguez for Her) and dry notes of amber, peach skin and vanilla absolute. Seriously, if you like oriental/woodsy scents, this is a must-have.

Three Questions With Diane Kruger
So I recently attended a fabulous luncheon at the Four Season in Beverly Hills in honor of Calvin Klein Beauty, the fragrance. The fragrance’s face, Diane Kruger, was also in attendance (gasp!) as well as some of my favorite bloggers- Emily from CupcakesandCashmere.com, Annie from BellaSugar.com and Katherine Power from WhoWhatWear.com, just to name a few. The lunch was delish and we all got to go around ask Diane a few questions. Here’s three questions with Diane Kruger, as told by me. =)
Q: If you could give your 22-year-old self any advice, what would it be?
A:(chuckling) It would be to relax. I was a model in New York when I was 21/22….and I wouldn’t want to be that age again.
Q: I heard that Karl Lagerfeld is your neighbor for your Paris apartment. What kind of neighbor is he?
A: Karl is a great neighbor but he stays up very late! He also always has groupies waiting for him downstairs, at all times of the day and night. He’s also the only person in Paris who drives a Hummer and he owns nearly half the block and he’s constantly trying to buy my apartment.”
Q: What are your beauty and fashion obsessions?
A: I love fake lashes- I’m obsessed. I’m currently using Cetaphil, L’Oreal Triple Active Jour Day, Kiehl’s Blue Toner and CoverGirl concealer.

Thierry Mugler Womanity
So I’m definitely not perfume-obsessed but when I received samples of Thierry Mugler’s newest launch, Womanity, I have to say…I’m kind of obsessed. I’ve said time and time again how I’m a big sucker for pretty packaging and Womanity is a sick mix of feminine sexuality, plus a little hard metal, for good measure. My faves are the Shower Gel and the Eau de Parfum Refill Bottle, perfect for traveling. The fragrance is beautiful an intoxicating – notes of fig, caviar and wood leaf.
The collection is available this August at ThierryMugler.com and also check out Womanity.com, the company’s manifesto, signed my Thierry Mugler, inviting women to discover and contribute via an interactive platform.

Fresh launches an “Eat, Pray, Love” fragrance collection
So in all honestly, I’ve been trying to read Eat, Pray, Love for the past year…and I’ve been pretty bad about it. Elizabeth Gilbert is just so completely and utterly into herself and once I got past the Italy chapter where she just eats everything in sight, I got kinda bored. I’m still making attempts but I’m beginning to come to terms with the fact that I might end up just seeing the movie to figure out how her journey actually ends. Even though I’m apathetic about the memoir, I’m SUPER excited to check out the fragrance trio from Fresh cause seriously, I bet “Eat” smells amazing.
The Eat, Pray, Love Fragrance Collection will feature one scent dedicated to each section of the book – Eat, Pray and, of course, Love. And, since I’m a sucker for expensive candles, I’m also excited for the candle trio, which will retail for $45…not actually that bad for three prestige candles. You can check out the collection starting July 15, not-so-coincidentally about one month before the movie is released on August 13.
