Versace Perfume from Nordstrom

My friend of 3.5 years ignored my calls, so I was forced to purchase a perfume to cheer myself up.  I called Nordstrom Beauty to ask them for their advice on what perfume I should get.  The woman was very patient and talked to me on the phone for half an hour.  At first, I wanted to get an eau de parfum since those have a higher concentration of aromatic essence.  However, the woman told me that an eau de toilette can still be smelled and that it does last for several hours.

I decided to get the Versace Bright Crystal eau de toilette.  Because I wear Versace clothes, I felt that it would have a sentimental value for me.  My father purchased it in Nordstrom Valley Fair.  He got some samples as well.  When I received the perfume, I put it on top of my bed.  I keep glancing back at it and wondering if this is real life, because it is so beautiful.

    

Versace&Versace

Blouse from Versace

When I saw this blouse on Versace's website as part of their spring/summer 2014 collection, I felt like my birthday had come early.  Versace is infamous for its gold-toned baroque prints and largely draws upon Roman themes.  This pattern imitates the decorations found in Roman/Barocco architecture, gilded with gold leaf.  I have always loved these details of Roman architecture; the golden vines, flowers, and angels (not on this shirt) have always seemed to whisper to me from a heavenly world.  If you look carefully you'll even find the Medusa head from Versace's logo on the back of this shirt.

I ordered it from the Fifth Avenue store.  I was disappointed that the person I originally contacted to enquire about the shirt failed to e-mail me back for a week when I asked him a question.  Normally I just buy it from someone else but I thought it would make the guy happy to make the commission, so decided to buy it from him and mention that I didn't receive a reply to his e-mail.  He did not even apologise :-(  He didn't seem particularly friendly either.  I find that with designer boutiques around half of the sales assistants that I work with are indifferent.

Blouse from Gucci

Today is Valentine's Day :)  I'm excited!  Not because I have a boyfriend and we're going to get married and put reed diffusers and quaint soap containers in our home - but because I purchased a fabulous top from Gucci (the Madison Ave one).  I believe it's part of the permanent collection as it's been around for years.  Now I have to admit that up until yesterday I had been thinking of buying dresses.  But that wouldn't fit my lifestyle at all.  I'm not so sure what I'll be doing a year from now, but I don't think it would be convenient for me to sit in the soup kitchen, sit in the park getting fucked up, or going to the police station wearing a fancy dress.

Here's the top:

 

I would wear it with my white boot cut True Religion jeans or J brand jeans in bengal (any salmon colour) or ice blue

 

With white jeans you could wear it with boots of this colour

And with pink or blue jeans you could wear it with boots of this colour!

This ring would go well with it as well (McQueen)

I ended up wearing this shirt with YSL's 5 colour harmony garden of eden.  I wore the olive colour on the bottom right corner, on the lid and blended the middle colour which is like a shimmery green, onto the crease.  It's a springtime look.

When people see you walking down the street in their outfit the music playing in their mind will be something like Owl City- Galaxies.  They will be inspired by your amazing and unreal beauty.  Trust me trust me ;-)

Chanel Poudre Universelle and Dior primer

Recently I also purchased the Chanel poudre universelle and Dior Capture Totale makeup base.  I'm not sure they make a difference to be honest.





I got samples of a Chanel sunscreen, CC cream, Dior J'adore fragrance, and Dior's hydralife serum.

Eyelash Curler and Concealer from Chanel

Today I purchased an eyelash curler and a concealer (I'm actually using the shade 20) from Chanel.  I got a sample of the Le Blanc serum and last time I got a sample of CC cream.  I felt that the salesperson was rude because she was not friendly.  I tried to talk to her but she ignored me and I asked her for a sponge to apply the concealer with but she said no even though in other stores they would give you 10 if you asked for one.

Eyeliner from Chanel

Today I decided to purchase a Chanel eyeliner: the stylo yeux waterproof one in Noir intense.  I moved to another city and my Dior eyeliner is on its last legs, and don't have my other eyeliners with me.  It may have just been the lighting in the mall, but when I applied the eyeliner in the mall, it looked super dark, which is a good thing.  At first the sales associate showed me a look where it was brown on the lid and a gold-ish colour on the crease.  I was not impressed at all because that's too common, but the eyeliner made everything look fantastic.
