White Diamonds

You may be wondering why this post involving No white OR diamonds is called 'white diamonds'.

I sometimes put together an entire outfit based on a fragrance.


She's so glamorous I can't even stand it.


My husband brought me home some white diamonds last night. What a sweetie. It's the quintessential 80's fragrance really. I think everyone's mom had it. I have a very strong 'smell memory' if that makes any sense. This scent takes me right back to the 80's and makes me think of 2ND wave feminists with shoulder pads and leopard print wrap blouses under their power suits. It's all very working girl.(Not That kind of working girl-the movie!)




I do happen to have this leopard printed wrap blouse that I thrifted a while back and so I decided to rock it with some jeans and my 'mom glasses'. I spritzed on some white diamonds-and Voila!





Have a stylish weekend!

Bonjour. Je suis tres stylish.

I always secretly envy all of those beautiful french women who wear black all of the time. Some people can work black and neutrals so well and look so damn chic and simple. And then I come along with my neon pink nail polish and mustard yellow t-shirt and ruin it. Ohwell. It's who I am. I'm going to own it.







On that note, today's look is all black. I love this cute little dress. The detail is lost on my shitty bathroom pitures but it's a very sweet empire waist with a cute grosgrain ribbon under the bust and a nice full skirt. Of course, I had to tame the 'sweetness' of it all with this awesome necklace($3!) and leopard heels which I LOVE. I've seen a million pairs of leopard heels in my life but these are just right. I like how my hair turned out with the whole outfit as well. So I'm going to try to be as chic and aloof and 'fashiony' as I can in my all black outfit today. Aurevoire mes amis!
