One of my guy friends used to wear Kiehl's Musk 1921, which is the greatest scent. Luckily, it also works on ladies (deep, rich, tomboy-ish, awesome), so I've been trying it out myself. I have to say, I'm really into it. The sexy scent pairs well with T-shirts and jeans, and you won't be able to stop sniffing your wrist.
When I was growing up, A Room With a View
was one of my favorite books and movies. (I remember reading the book while lying on our trampoline in the backyard!) So I was thrilled to hear about this new perfume inspired by the passage where George and Lucy kiss for the first time in a field of violets.
Wild mushroom apron, $36.
Baaah, a sheep's milk soap, $12.
Lavender sachets to make even socks smell sweet, $39.
Paris decoupage plate for her desk, $48.
Chunk honey, made in Maryland by cutting a piece of raw honeycomb off the hive, $24.
Victorian cameo ring from the 1800's, $190. (Can you imagine all the lovely ladies who have worn this ring? It's probably played the piano, ridden in horse-drawn carriages and held lots of babies.)
Perfume that smells like snow! $12 to $60.
Born Round, the hilarious memoir of a former New York Times food critic, $12.97.
Veggie candles, $50. Made in England, but they feel so French!

My friend Caroline and I went perfume shopping this week (as a sidenote, she wore her ponytail ever-so-slightly to one side, which was so chic), and we visited a fancy New York perfumery. But in the end, the scent we both liked best was Chanel No. 5. Some people say it smells like a grandma, but, to me, it feels feminine, floral and beautiful. Coco Chanel wanted "a woman’s fragrance that smells like woman," and I think she did just that.
I'm really, really bad at picking out perfume. I can't tell what smells good and what doesn't, and when I'm drawn to something, Lina usually tells me it smells like a grandma.
