When it comes to fragrance, I’m actually pretty particular.  I tend to stick to my classic favorites, but when a new product gets dropped off at my doorstep, I like to think that I give each perfume an equal opportunity to impress me, if you will.  Well, gotta say, I’m pretty into EXPRESS GLAM, the fragrance.  GLAM is EXPRESS’ second fragrance for women and is designed for the fashion-forward girl who’s sexy and stylish, but with downtown sensibility.  Hello, that pretty much describes me and all of my friends.  Now, as far as actual scent, GLAM boasts top notes of black currant and mandarin vodka (yum) with mid notes of sheer jasmine petals, lily of the valley and sandalwood flower.  Base notes include praline, creamy musk and white woods (one of my favorites).  I think I found my new favorite fragrance for fall or, “FFF,” as I like to call it.

ABOUT TIME

AbouTime3

I love nothing more than a romantic comedy and so, naturally, the movie ABOUT TIME is right up my alley.  ABOUT TIME (a film from Richard Curtis, the creator of Love Actually, Notting Hill, and Four Weddings and a Funeral) tells the story of a  man who has a  gift that allows him to go back and relive any moment of his life. But instead of making every moment perfect, he learns that life and love are most extraordinary when you embrace all of its imperfections.  There was something about the fact the he embraced the imperfections that really resonated with me.  I got to thinking about SO MANY moments that I would love to relive and, of course, edit to be a more perfect version…but then I think about how those awkward and imperfect moments have really shaped who I am as a person, and I wouldn’t want to change that.  Plus, Rachel McAdams is always amazing and critics are already calling ABOUT TIME “the first must-see movie of the fall” and “easily the most heartwarming, feel-great film of the season.”

ABOUT TIME opens on November 8th!
