While you might not think of leaving the house without your fragrance carefully dabbed on your wrist and neck, have you ever thought of making it an actual part of your wardrobe? With some of the latest styles and fashion innovations, you can actually build fragrance into the clothes you are wearing. Here are some of the latest styles to consider.

Jewelry with Built-in Perfume

When you add some bling around your neck, you can now add fragrance as well. Necklaces with compartments that hold perfume allow you to wear your fragrance around your neck. Instead of spraying it on your pulse points, simply don your necklace and you will both look and smell great. These compartments are refillable, so when the fragrance starts to wear off, simply refill and continue enjoying your great new scent.

One version of the perfumed necklace is the aroma necklace. The aroma necklace does more than just add a fresh scent to your outfit. These necklaces are often filled with essential oils that provide relaxing or healing properties in addition to their great smells. Imagine wearing lavender around your neck as you seek relaxation throughout the day, or fill it with vanilla extract for a natural, pleasant scent.

Scratch and Sniff Clothing

Do you remember scratch and sniff stickers? As a child, a scratch and sniff sticker made the reward of a sticker way more satisfying. Not only could you decorate your shirt or your sticker book with a new image, but that image held a delicious scent that simply had to be freed with the scratch of your finger. [Read more…]

Jewelry Shopping in Vienna

By

Planning a trip to Vienna can be very tricky – with so many things to see, you can’t count on getting through all of them, so sometimes you just need to make your arrangements in a way that you’ll get to see what interests you most. If you’re going on a jewelry shopping trip, Vienna definitely has a lot to offer you – the city is very well-known for the large number of different jewelry stores and large chains of shops it features, so whatever type of jewelry you’re into exactly, you’ll likely find something for yourself here.

The Jared Galleria of Jewelry is a very popular store, so when you’ve arrived, make sure this is at the top of your list of priorities for visiting. The store has quite a lot to offer and all of their products are unique and exquisite – and like we said above, any taste can be satisfied in Vienna, and this is really well represented in this particular store.

Also, there’s a Swarovski flagship store in Vienna – if you’re a fan of luxurious jewelry, you really can’t say no to paying a visit here. However, if you do, make sure you load up your wallet quite well, as you’ll likely find more than one opportunities to spend your money in this store – after all, we all know of the quality of Swarovski’s jewels and related products, but also the price tag commonly attached to them. Plan well and know what you’ll be buying!

Whats More Ear-isistable Than Giant Earrings?

One of the things I noticed immediately during the Oscars were Angelina Jolie‘s supersize-me emerald earrings. Even the hubby, who rarely notices these things, was like “Whoh! Those can’t be real!”

Apparently, Angelina took a lot of time hunting for the perfect pair to wear for Oscar night, wanting it to be a real show stopper. Well, she obviously did the job (with $2.5 mil beauties by jeweler-to-the-stars Lorraine Schwartz) and along with Kate Winslet, who also donned large chandelier earrings, now started a fashion trend because statement earrings are now officially HOT for 2009.

Why? Well, the economic downturn is to blame (again), because look-at-me earrings can revamp a look instantly, so you can recycle an outfit and freshen it up with bold accessories – the eighties also have a big influence here. Think bright, glam and bold…okay, not flawless gargantuan emeralds, but you get the idea.

Other statement earrings seen on the catwalk were Chanel‘s Mademoiselle offerings and Louis Vuitton‘s colorful beads.
