Chloe 1999, euro scents, DIY, a vintage belt and an acne-prone rec

1. Chloe Fall 1999 - Fur stoles, silky asymetric skirts, sparkling starmoon prints, gradient shades, and lace.

   

   

   

   

   

2. Frederic Malle perfume is my favorite. I can honestly say that each unique scent is subtle, attractive and evidently European. I wear Carnal Flower, but I visited the shop with my husband’s dad and he wears Cologne Indelebile which is delicate and orange blossomy. He’s French, so use that as valued credibility if you want. Iris Poudre used to be my go-to, it’s a cross between your friend’s mom who’s Polish but speaks Italian and a villa in Costa Rica. And wow, I was very impressed by Une Fleur de Cassie, powdery, fruity and honeyed.

3. My recent etsy search result for loose wool and fiber swatches to make my baby a sheep costume.

   

4. This silver leather prada belt with Italian circle ring buckle.

   

5. This week I tried my first Sofie Pavitt face product. So far so good. I got the mandelic serum from Violet Grey. It’s super thin, meant to slick on after cleansing and before a lightweight moisturizer. I’m very curious about her benzoyl peroxide mask, as my acne-prone skin Loves this ingredient.

   

   Check out the Jan Marini benzoyl peroxide products too - they’re fabulous and extremely effective in clearing breakouts. In a pinch, I’ll also use the Cerave BP wash.
