Favorite Fragrances For Warm Weather

TGIF! This has been a really rough week for me...I cannot wait to relax a little over the weekend. How about you, any exciting plans?

The past few weeks, I have been so happy about the wonderful weather we have been experiencing! Think mid 70s and 80s with gorgeous sunshine! All the weather experts around these parts say it's here to stay! Naturally, I had to break out my "summery" fragrances.

Although I own over thirty bottles of perfume, I tend to stick to the same few that I rotate with the seasons. Here are my favorites for spring and summer!

"Beach" by Bobbi Brown. This fragrance is my number one favorite for warm weather. It has a light blend of sand jasmine, sea spray and mandarin. Another reason I love it - Beach reminds me of "old school" Coppertone suntan lotion that I used as a teenager (without sunscreen, I wasn't smart back then).

"Juicy Couture" by Juicy Couture. Although JC has released many fragrances over the past few years, the original is still my favorite. This perfume has notes of watermelon, mandarin, pink passion fruit, and many others. Everywhere I wear it, I receive compliments. Even my Father says it smells nice, and he's a tough critic and very perfume sensitive!

"Beachy" by Lilly Pulitzer (the one in the blue bottle). A mixture of fruit, citrus and sea breeze notes, the base dries down into a more vanilla and amber note once applied. Beachy is a great option for warm weather fragrance. Know this: it has been discontinued and is no longer being produced. If you love it like me, you might want to consider stocking up. Because when it's gone, it's gone.

Do you have a favorite seasonal fragrance, or do you prefer to wear the same scent year round? What fragrance(s) do you wear and love? 

Have a Fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend! Hope you are able to get out and enjoy some nice weather!

    I tend to wear the same year round (Coco Mademoiselle), but that tends to be a bit heavy in the summer. My friend who works for Victorias Secret just sent me a bottle of Bombshell and...hello! I think I walk with a bit of a strut when I have it on.

    My try Bobbi Brown Beach. If Bobbi Brown could just send me a box of every product she makes, I would die a happy woman. Well, I'll already die a happy woman, I'll just die a happy woman who was known for her excellent makeup.

    Love, love, love Beach!!! Every time I wear it, it makes me think of walking on the beach, listening to the waves roll in, running my toes through the sand, feeling the warm sun on my cheeks and it instantly brings a smile on my face.

    I tend to stick with the same perfume year round (boring, I know!). My best friend collects perfume though and she LOVES Viva La Juicy.

    I love Chanel Cristalle Eau Verte in warm weather. It doesn't resemble the regular Cristalle, rather it is a spritz of lime with a hint of vanilla. Fire Island by Bond No. 9 is my go-to beachy fragrance. Last but not least, Bulgari's Green Tea perfume in the "extreme" version (cause it lasts longer) is my all time favorite, wear anytime perfume and is especially nice in the summer down here in Houston, TX!

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line...

***Just in time to celebrate the holiday season, Shopaholic In Alabama has partnered with favorite brands and designers to bring you a series of festive giveaways! In addition to giveaways, there will be Shopaholic Special discounts to help with your holiday shopping! Please join me today in welcoming The Tracy Negoshian!*** You have probably noticed from previous posts that Tracy Negoshian is quickly becoming one of my favorite designers. During recent Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, I ordered so many new dresses and tunics, it was like an early Christmas present when they all arrived.  Tracy's designs are a favorite of preppy girls everywhere. They are easy to wear - the comfy jersey fabric is flowy, but somehow fitted just enough to be feminine. Many of the items I ordered work for all seasons here at the beach. Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke...
