Does anyone else have trouble finding a fragrance? To me, they’re all too sweet, too strong, too generic or just plain stinky. I’ve been on the hunt for a long, long time, and recently picked up a roller ball of the Tocca Cleopatra. It was only $20 and I thought it smart to start with that rather than a $60 bottle to make sure I loved it. And… I’m happy to report I do! It’s sexy, perfect for day or night, works in summer and winter and doesn’t turn foul on me! Yay! My only wish now is that it had a bit better staying power. But, that might change when I have someone I can spritz onto clothes vs. rolling only on skin.

The perfect spring sweater. I adore the 3/4 length sleeves, the drape and the bright cherry color (that looks fantastic with leopard print flats). Seriously, look at it on the model. (Shhh… don’t tell anyone, but I’m going to get it in another color; I love it that much.)

Have I shared my love for Downton Abbey? It’s my new favorite show and as soon as it’s over, I’m always wishing there was another episode. The writing is smart, the family is lovable, the stories are realistic and I can’t get enough. It’s a PBS Masterpiece Classic mini-series that I definitely recommend you check out.
