MFA

Oh, Hey People. Today was FRICKING awesome... My Fashion Illustration class had a private showing at the MFA in Boston. We saw a wide range of archives of ORIGINAL Illustrations from Givenchy to YSL (I was totally inspired and someday i'll post a blog of my own Illustrations) We went to a room that displayed Textiles that were bought or donated to the museum, one in particular was a gown that I loved from the Dolce and Gabbana, SpringRTW, 2008... there is a story that goes along with how they got the dress which is actually entertaining, but I will keep it to myself and save it for a rainy day. Another gown on display was a Dior gown waaaaaay back when he had just released 'The New Look' and it was still in pretty good shape. surprisingly.

...Afterwards we went to the Hollywood Glamour Exhibit, where they showcase amazing gowns worn from the goddesses of the silverscreen. I'll keep this post short, and you can watch a video I made with all of the photos I captured today.

Top 5 Perfumes For Women

Chanel No. 5
$130
My rate:10

1. Discover Chanel No. 5 perfume. This Perfume first launched in 1921, this is the fragrance that Gabrielle Chanel commissioned to smell like a woman. This scent will forever live to be the most timeless scent in history, with its elegant and luxurious scents. It possesses many different notes; a spectacular blend of May Rose, Vanilla, and Jasmine. Chanel No. 5 is the most famous scent of all time. It's a classic!

Clean Warm Cotton Parfum
$38.00
My rate: 8.4

2. CLEAN Warm Cotton Eau De Parfum is for you. Don't want to smell too perfume-y and just want a scent that makes you feel refreshed and CLEAN? Warm cotton is for the modern day minimalistic women; with hints of Citrus, Watery Green Pear, Verbena, Floral Essences, Fruit Essences, Marine Essences, Jasmine, Orange Flower, Musk, Fougere, Amber; that gives that natural fresh out of the laundry smell.

Daisy by Marc Jacobs eau so fresh
$97.00
My rate: 9.9

3. A spin-off from the original Daisy Perfume by Marc Jacobs, Daisy Eau So fresh is a twisty bubbly more vibrant perfume! The scent is a fun fragrance, both fruity and flowery. This fragrance is very nicely balanced with hints of Natural Raspberry, Grapefruit, Pear, Violet, Wild Rose, and Apple Blossom. There is also a musky plum and ceder-wood undertone that keeps it from being overly sweet. Perfect for Spring!

Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel
$90.00
My rate: 10

4. Launched as a tribute to herself, Coco Mademoiselle was created in 2001. This fragrance I would describe as very sexy, fresh, and light. It smells both elegant and youthful; notes including of Morning Rose, Jasmine, Vanilla, and Mandarin. When to wear this? -on a first date. I bought this perfume a few months back, I grabbed the Limited edition 200ml, and i have to say that this is basically HEAVEN in a bottle!

Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet 
$98.00
My rate: 9.8

5. Created for the flirtatious, irresistibly-charming women. This complex fragrance gets you in the mood for spring! It is chic, romantic and lets be serious; what girl doesn't LOVE a bouquet of flowers? This flowery scent is adorned in a creative blend of Sicilian Orange essence, Pink Peony, Damascus, and to top it all off; notes of White Musk. Defiantly one of my Favs!
