Those seeking modern high-fashion brands are also in luck. In fact, an emerald one stays in rotation for Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. Velvet cocktail dresses and silk evening gowns designed by French-born American couturiere Pauline Trigère - who dressed Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor - have proven timeless since their mid-century debut, while an overcoat by Alexander McQueen is the perfect finishing touch. By exploring the vast array of vintage collections on these pages, you can transform your closet into a retreat that is as retro as it is royal. Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Chanel remain classic for haute couture advocates and beyond. I hope everyone had a great weekend! Back to the grind….From museum-worthy vintage Oscar de la Renta evening dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing available on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement.įor fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers - think Galliano and Cavalli - but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. As for the fragrance, I would personally take a pass – unless you find the scent to-die-for, reapplying constantly is kind of a hassle and a terrible waste of money!
#HANAE MORI BUTTERFLY TEAL SKIN#
I think if you have less sensitive skin than I, you might really enjoy the body washes, if you can get your hands on them. Also, it seems you can’t order the fragrance online in Canada…damn restrictions! On Sephora‘s website they no longer carry the body wash…but it’s still available at. Price of the body wash is $20USD and the rollerball was $19USD. At least it’s travel-friendly so I can reapply often, but at this rate it will be gone in a couple months. The staying power of the fragrance leaves MUCH to be desired I find it dissipates on me within an hour or two. Since I was on a major spree, I grabbed the rollerball version of the scent and have been enjoying it – the scent at least. Instantly I was drawn to the Vanilla Grapefruit scent (notes are: sparkling grapefruit, crisp sandalwood, lime, and Madagascar vanilla), which reminds me strongly of Hanae Mori’s ‘Butterfly’, which I wore all last summer. When I visited Sephora last week, for some reason I was compelled to smell the Lavanilla fragrances just out of idle curiosity. It doesn’t strip my skin of moisture, to be sure, but I think all the botanicals and extracts are too much for my sensitive skin. Sadly, I immediately felt itchy and uncomfortable once I applied it to my skin, and even rinsing thoroughly didn’t help matters – my eczema flares every time I use it.
Even more disappointing, I had high hopes that due to the natural aspects of the wash, that it wouldn’t irritate my eczema and leave my skin feeling comfortable rather than dry. It’s described as an ‘exotic blend of fresh coconut oil, Tahitian tiare flower, and warm Madagascar vanilla,’ and unfortunately for this non-floral loving gal, I get more flower power than vanilla coconut. The scent, while definitely not ‘fake’ smelling, isn’t really all that pleasant either. Unfortunately, for all the great reasons to love the product, I was left disappointed with both the scent and the gentleness of the body wash. When my Sephora package came, I eagerly hopped in the shower to try it out. Additionally, the brand touts ‘all-natural’ ingredients and is ‘free of harsh and possibly toxic chemicals,’ using coconut oil to gently cleanse the skin, and cocoa seed & shea butters and olive oil to keep skin hydrated, among a host of other good-for-your-skin ingredients. The description of the scent sounded right up my alley – I love anything coconut scented, and I’m often drawn to fragrances with notes of vanilla, so – match made in heaven! I read some reviews that said the fragrance wasn’t cloying or fake-smelling, which sounded promising as well. Last month, I ordered the Vanilla Coconut body wash from Lavanilla.
