I’m curious to know- do you guys wear perfume at all? If you do, do you have one signature scent or do you like to wear different scents throughout the day? I myself fall into the second category- I put on a little perfume every morning and if I’m going out at night I’ll reapply the same fragrance or put on a new one. I like my daytime fragrances to be light and fresh, while my nighttime perfumes are a little more bold.
Have you heard of the new perfume from Vera Wang- Vera Wang Be Jeweled? It has several fruity notes, such passion fruit, pomegranate and currant and is described as “sprited, feminine and independent.” The bottle is very girly with a pink crystal shape and jewel embellishments. I can definitely see myself spritzing this on a night before meeting up for drinks with some girlfriends. Check out the video with ballet dancer-turned-model (how cool is that?) Laura Love and let me know what you think in the comments below if you’ve tried this perfume!

![TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW, AND TOMORROW by Gabrielle Zevin (@aaknopf #gifted) • Everyone was raving about this book, including several people whose taste I trust, so I had to pick it up a few months ago. Well, y'all were right! I loved it and I thought this was a beautiful book, both inside and out.

It’s interesting to see how the friendship between Sam and Sadie, the two characters at the center of the novel, evolves over the years. At their best, Sadie and Sam really see and understand each other. They both describe how the intimacy they share is both different and in some ways better than their romantic relationships. But at the same time, there are things that they don’t know or misunderstand about each other, even after years of being friends.

These characters really grabbed me. This is definitely a slower-paced, more character-driven story. But every time I picked it up, I was excited to get back to these characters and read more about their lives. Zevin’s writing in this book was beautiful and I liked the way she played around with the writing style at certain points in the book.

As several people have mentioned, you do not have to be into video games at all to enjoy this book. It's about artistry, craft, relationships, and friendships that are difficult to categorize. It’s about the ability to build or escape to a world that’s better than the one we live in. This book was excellent and I’m not over these characters yet. I’ll be thinking about them for a while.

If you've read it, what did you think?

I mostly wear the same two. One by Victoria’s Secret and another from AE. I do have a couple Coach samples that were sent to me that I’ll take out from time to time too. I’ve never really got around to trying a designer perfume. Might have to some day!
I get a lot of samples via Birchbox and such, so it’s actually been a long time since I purchased a full-size perfume!
I’m very sensitive to fragrances, so I don’t wear perfume all the time, and if i do, it’s something light. I have been known to dab on a little of kate spade’s twirl for an occasion.
Oh, I love that one- I’m wearing it today! :)
Totally impressed with this campaign– then I saw that it was directed by Ann Street Studio. Should have guessed!
Yes, all of their work is so good!
