Fashion Week Wish List- Givenchy Iris Print Skirt

Any fashion lover has the wish list . And each season we see more that we add to that list. We have just that season's wish list. Fall always gives me a big list . Add to that having the wonderful opportunity to attend fashion week and you get the fashion week wish list . In other words, what you would most want to wear there. That's a whole separate category.

 This Iris print skirt from Givenchy is my most wished for  to wear to fashion week next month.  I am skirt person vs. dresses and this just hits all the buttons.  Pair it with a simple black top  and off you go.

Givenchy New- Ange ou Demon le Secret Elixir

Givenchy will release in August the next installment in the Ange ou Demon line - Ange ou Demon le Secret Elixir.


This is a an EDP Intense and it does have solid lasting power and nice light sillage.

It begins with lemon right off at the top , green tea and then the jasmine comes in with a slightly menthol bent that could also be the neroli but that fades fast and the fragrance becomes more and more floral until the drydown brings in the cedarwood note most predominately to my nose with a touch of vanilla

Ange ou Demon le Secret Elixir is sweet but not candy sweet and I freely admit I like sweet fragrances sometimes. Not all of them but I liked this one at first sniff. I think it was the citrus top that grabbed me. If it's citrus, it's me. The overall scent though is definitely floral and softly pretty .

Top Notes: Italian lemon, green tea and neroli

Heart Notes: Sambac jasmine, orange blossom and frangipani flower

Base Notes: Vanilla, patchouli, cedar wood and white musk

Ange ou Demon le Secret Elixir will be available in August at Macy’s, Dillards, Lord & Taylor and Sephora .

30ml Eau de Parfum - $56.50

Givenchy Candide Garden Quad Spring 2011

Givenchy's   Candide Garden is their LE quad for Spring. It  features 4 great colors that are very me, and I find myself using the deep brown and  light peach a lot right now and saving the green for hotter, (self) tanner  days.

 I know many think with quads, that  the idea is to use all 4 shades together. I have never thought that way. No idea why, but to me when looking at a quad, I need to like the shades individually to be interested and I often wear quad shades  only 2 at a time, 3 at most.  I  pretty much never use all 4.

 These colors are very summery and the shades  go on lighter than they look in the pan  and blend easily.  The compact is tiny enough to stash easily in any bag , to have it handy for after beach or pool day touch ups as well as simply mid day workweek ones.
