February in Paris is chilly and grey however I can’t complain because it’s nonetheless a lovely metropolis – you simply want your layers – and we’ve got a lot of burst of sunshine right here throught the day.
I like so as to add a lot of colours to my outfit whether or not that be a vibrant pink beanie or an orange floral scarf – I’m all about brightening issues up. Some days although I do go all black as a result of it’s really easy after I don’t know what to put on black simply pulls an outfit collectively effortlessly.
Perfumes have turn into my new obsession! I can’t go anyplace and not using a splash or dab of this or that and I’ve been so taken up on Fragrance historical past, Nostril, Sculptuers (bottle Makers), and many others. All of it obtained out of hand after I went to the Braderie de Lille (the most important flea market in France!) final September and picked up some 10 tiny miniature bottles of tremendous cute fragrance bottles ( that I largely purchased as a result of they had been the cutest!). And now I’m being transported by their scents in each which method. Earlier than that final yr, I purchased my first bottle of Chanel 5 – gasp! I understand how is it that I’ve been residing within the land of Coco and never given in. I do not know as a result of this perfume merely takes my breath away! One other thrilling buy I made final yr was investing within the Silk Temper Oud fragrance from Maison Francis Kurkdjian – it’s the very best long-lasting fragrance I personal. I purchase fragrance from in all places now – I like the gathering at Yves Rocher and &Otherstories and I used to be even shocked that some made by H&M got here from some highly regarded Nostril.
On our method again from Jamaica I finished at my mother-in-law in Lille and as we had household over for our common – hmm what can we name it? Form of an annual begin of the yr lunch we’ve got that’s in the midst of January the place her sister brings over some Ache Shock – kind of a large bread reduce out and plenty of little sandwiches made and stuffed again in. It’s a household custom I like for the gathering however couldn’t care much less concerning the meals, as a result of we drink champagne and eat bread all afternoon – hahaha , however I digress. So my aunt-in-law got here and as quickly as I leaned in to do the double kiss – bisous – we do right here I may scent a floral punch in essentially the most magnificent method. Seems she was sporting Amarige by Givenchy! I’ve by no means even owned a bottle of something Givenchy, so you realize I obtained a bottle delivered to our house ASAP. hahaha. It smells like a wealthy auntie hahaha.
Final evening we went to the film premiere of DAAAALI and it made me need to get some Dali fragrance I’ve been eying on eBay and vinted. Apparently (assessment on fragrantica.com), a few of the fragrances are divine and the bottles are so distinctive! If you happen to’re in Paris undoubtedly go it see, DAAAALI comes out the second week of February in all theatres and it’s hilarious!
