How great would it be if perfume bottles all still looked like this? Chanel has always stayed true to Coco's belief that every woman should be two things: classy and fabulous.

Shoe of the Day

I wish I could afford these beautiful Christian Dior heels. They are perfectly feminine with a hint of adventure. See product details here.

Princess Tea Party

I turned 21 last month and decided that instead of having the typical "I can legally drink now" party, to have a princess tea party (typically for 4-year-olds I know....). Everyone had so much fun (including the boys, surprisingly). There was lots of pink, frill, and glitter!

City Sunset

Finally the weather got nice and we were able to enjoy a glass of wine on the roof.

Fragrances my Memoire Liquide:

Encens Liquide ~ “The memory of gently wafting ceremonial incense in Japan, soft smoke trailing its mysterious and sultry veil. Soft Amber Resin, White Musk, Black Tea and enchanting Hinoki Incense.”

Fleur Liquide ~ “The memory of dew soaked flowers at dawn and night blooming flowers just before sunset. Orange Blossom, fresh Mimosa and Night Blooming Jasmine.”

Amour Liquide ~ “The memory of exhilarating romantic love, at once soul soothing and breath taking. Pure Madagascar Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Incense.” <-- This one's my favorite!

Soleil Liquide ~ “The memory of warm sunshine on a dazzling, bright summer day. Fresh Grapefruit, Tangerine, Blood Orange and Neroli Flowers with Santal and White Musk.”

Vacances Liquide ~ “The memory of a vacation on an idyllic tropical beach with warm, white sand and azure waves lapping the shoreline. Tiare Flower, Fresh Coconut Milk and Tahitian Vanilla with Oceanic accords.”

Escape

{ photographs from Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts }

It's almost April and officially Spring. Yet last night we were walking (more like slipping) through a snow/sleet/hail and lightening storm. I think I'll just close my eyes and imagine being at Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts in the Maldives.

Inspiration: Dining Design

Some inspirational dining designs from DIFFA Dining By Design NY at the Architectural Digest Home Show today (too bad I didn't have my good camera and it was dark, but you get the idea).
