getting ready for low necklines

Brides Magazine says that low necklines and low backs on dresses continue to to dominate the runways.  Earlier this week I got a sneak peek at what Armani will be supplying to Saks for the rest of 2017.  Indeed, a gorgeous butterfly back dress with a low neckline and a low back appeared.

For those ladies that need a little skin tune up, here are some tips. Healthy looking skin is generally free of inflammation related blemishes, excess dead skin, and dryness.

If you're a little oily, I suggest Kiehls exfoliating lavender soap.  This soap will dissolve excess oils, gently exfoliate dead skin and the relaxing lavender will help you destress. 

If you're a little dry, a light moisturizer will be needed.  I recommend Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion.



Acne can occur whether you are you are dry or oily.  Too often this is part of an underlying inflammation problem or hormone imbalance.  One of the most reliable products to help treat and compensate for this problem are foundations and concealers that contain salicylic acid.  When left on during the day, the salicylic acid encourages skin shedding.  In a pinch, the makeup part of these products are great for compensating for stubborn acne.  Clinique Acne Solutions makeup is my suggestion.  It's available in 10 shades.

Bond No. 9 Chinatown

Smell can be a powerful trigger for memories.  For me, many of my happiest days involve being with my grandmother visiting her mother in an old apartment building in Chinatown.  As a little girl I remember playing at my great-grandmother's vanity, where she had two bottles of perfume.  When I tried Bond No. 9's Chinatown scent , I immediately got transported back to that time and place.  The Bond girl at the counter told me that this was a more oriental fragrance.  Notes include peach blossom, Gardenia, and cardamom.  It was a very floral kind of sweetness.  Bond No. 9 Chinatown

Proenza Schouler Arizona Eau de Parfum: capturing the red rock mystique in a bottle

Image
Proenza Schouler, a New York–based womenswear and accessories brand, has launched their first fragrance.  Arizona , a fresh floral mix of living cactus flower accord, creamy orris accord, is contained in a  bottle with an interior shaped like a splashing raindrop. The designers, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, designed the fragrance after being inspired by a roadtrip through the desert lands of Arizona.   One of the wonders they visited on this trip included Antelope Canyon in the Navajo nation.  The canyon is a narrow passageway that is only safe to visit a few times a year.  At various times over the seasons it's on the pathway of migrating antelopes.  The mineral rich red rock has been smoothed into sandy groves along it's walls, and the top of the canyon features natural skylights that create colors ranging from deep purples, reds, and yellows as the sun shines into the canyon at different times of the day.   This ...
