New YSL Scent Will Sweep You Away
Posted by girlpaint | Filed under body, fragrance, gifts, perfume, wedding
Young, fresh, breezy, beautiful. Words that describe Yves Saint Laurent’s newest fragrance, Parisienne. Perfect for daytime wear or anytime you’re feeling a little — or a lot — romantic (can anyone say wedding?), Parisienne is reminiscent of its predecessor, Paris, and yet it’s distinctly different.

Lately I’ve been so uninspired. Can you tell? FYI: that’s NOT me in the picture; it’s actually the photographer. The expression on his face so perfectly represented how I’ve felt lately, I had to put it up.
Anyway, as you’ve probably noticed, I haven’t posted since election day. And let’s face it: that was a lazy [...]
