Harajuku Lovers Fragrance: N.1. A Fatal Attraction to Cuteness

snow bunny (snoh) (buh neh) n.1. An uber fashionable girly-girl who uses the snowy streets of Harajuku as her own personal catwalk

Ugh. I try not to covet based on packaging, I really really REALLY do, but this is too cute to pass up. They're the same Snow Bunny scents with some of the most adorably irresistible packaging EVER. Each scent is unique and unlike any other scent in the collection, and all are a nice fit with my chemistry.

Good news for lovers of Jennifer Lopez's GLOW fragrance, a new version is being released this fall...
"For Jennifer Lopez now is the most perfect moment in her life. Poised between pride in the past and promise for the future, she feels fulfilled as never before. Her spirit is soothed with serenity, her heart overflowing with tenderness. There is no deeper love, no greater happiness than this. No words can describe it, but a fragrance can capture it."

If the original Princess fragrance is meant to be a delicate, feminine, girly, innocently demure scent, Rock Princess is that girl's bad ass sister. You know the one I'm talking about...skinny jeans and 4" heels on her boots with too many bracelets, a lowslung belt, and a loose tank top. Her liner's black and winged, and her hair's probably got a chunk of purple, pink, or red in it somewhere. She's the sister you meet and you just know...she won't take mess off anyone.

I can't hear the word 'daisy' without immediately flashing in my mind to Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday saying, "You're a daisy if you do" in that movie Tombstone, from the 90s. Totally one of my guilty pleasures.

I can say that Daisy ($57) (the Marc Jacobs edition, not the Val Kilmer edition) is a true pleasure, and not a guilty one. I've wanted, for a long time, to try this fragrance. I have a picky nose, so I hate walking into any store that has perfumes stacked all atop one another because the scents mix and mingle and make me sneeze...that's my excuse for dallying so long in adding this to my collection.

Summer for me always smells like citrus, storms, and salad. I'm so not kidding. Well, it also smells like brisket, beer, and small explosive devices, but that's just really 4th of July at my family's house...anyyyywayyy...there are just certain smells that hit me and really make me inhale deeply and say "God. THAT. That is what summer smells like to me."

Marc Jacobs Summer Splash 2009 collection was designed with summer in mind...to capture the casually vibrant lazy hazy days that we all love so much. This year Marc Jacobs has introduced the Lemon Splash, and brought back the perennially popular Cucumber and Rain splashes.

I love Stella McCartney's Stella perfume. Never too heavy and always deliciously redolent of roses. Stella has a new, fresh take on her signature scent for the summer with 'Sheer Summer'.

Like the original Stella, the top note is rose, but you will also catch delicate whisps of lemon, green apple and amber in 'Sheer Summer'. Very light and fresh. I absolutely loved it! Give it a spritz during your next haul.

Isn't that bottle design to die for?

Price: $58.00USD/3.3oz

Available: Nordstrom, Nordstrom.com, Sephora and Sephora.com

Any Stella fans out there? Have you tried Sheer Summer yet?

I adore Anne Hathaway. She is such a true beauty. Gorgeous looks paired with an enchanting smile and genuine personality. Lancome really got it right when they chose her to represent their new Magnifique fragrance.

The gorgeous Anne Hathaway dazzles in the latest Lancome commercial celebrating their classy and comfortable Magnifique perfume. You can see a clip here.

Magnifique is amazing (yes, I already nabbed a bottle). It is infused with spicy saffron, roses and the smoky exotic nagarmotâ wood. When I wear it, I completely sense the warmth of the scent. It is one of those truly classic scents that subtly catches your senses and never seems overbearing.
