NEW Marc Jacobs Lola Eau de Parfum
Move over Daisy, Marc Jacobs has a new fabulous fragrance launching for fall and it's being touted as Daisy's vampy and more sensual older sister.
The intoxicating scents starts out very fruity-floral with notes of pink peppercorn, pear, ruby red grapefruit, peony and rose with a second layer of oriental scents (but not too heavy) with notes of vanilla, tonka bean and musk.
Not to mention the fun, flirty bottle which is the perfect accompaniment to vanities every where.
Currently a Bloomingdales exclusive, Marc Jacobs Lola will be available at most perfume counters (Sephora included) in September.
$65.00 by Marc Jacobs at Bloomingdale's

Happy Shopping,
It all began with Hemline Theory, the theory that the hemline du jour on ladies dresses rises and falls as the stock market prices move up and down. The floor-length maxi dress trend in the past few years for example has been concurrent with hard economic times.
But forget Hemline Theory, there's a new trend on the market. In the midst recent tough times, the short hair-do has been all the rage.
A study based out of Japan has found that women tend to wear their hair long when the economy is good and short when the economy is in a slump.
Many celebs, like Rachel McAdams above, and trend-setters alike have reverted to cutting their locks short in search of a more manageable low-maintenance do, which also assumes less upkeep.
Other celebs like Carmen Electra and R&B singer Cassie have taken short hair one step further by shaving a portion of their signature lengthy locks entirely.
So how about you? Are you embracing this anti-extension trend in search of something easier to upkeep and maintain?
As much as I love getting dolled up and going out at night, staying home to watch What Not to Wear seems to be the perfect way to relax and start my weekend off right. I've watched this show pretty much since the beginning days when Wayne Scot Lukas was co-host (now replaced by Clinton Kelly).
While I love seeing peoples train-wreck outfits and love fantasizing about how I would spend the $5,000, the best part of the show, in my beauty addicted opinion, is the makeovers! The haircuts, the makeup these things really make the whole transformation complete.
In my many years watching the show I've seen hair stylist Nick Arrojo transform many from drab to fab, although he did have a penchant for similar short cuts he really helped make the transormations complete. But alas there's a new hair guru on the block, Ted Gibson.
Known for his amazing work on the runways and celebrities alike, Ted Gibson brings his expertise and a fresh image which is bound to be a perfect compliment to the show.
As much as I'll all miss Nick's cuts (an accent) it's time to ring in the new with Ted Gibson (Ted and Carmendy sounds good right?) be sure to watch his debut this Friday, July 24th at 9 p.m.
