Escada Turquoise Summer

Escada launches its annual new fragrance (this has been a tradition of the house since 1993), summer limited edition for season of 2015. The fragrance is named Turquoise Summer, inspired by the serene atmosphere of summer, vivid orchards and butterflies.

Escada Turquoise Summer invites you on a fragrant holiday with its irresistible and mouthwatering fruity-floral mixture. The fragrance opens with pineapple, strawberry and tutti frutti accord, crosses the floral heart and ends with the base of blackcurrant and vanilla.

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Cavallini washi tape

Cavallini & Company manufacture high quality products. This paper tape set of 5 rolls is no exception.

 It has a vintage look & feels to it which I love. The container it comes in is just as nice. You already have a way to store the 5 rolls.

These Cavallini number tapes are expensive, but they are really fantastic!

They are the quality washi tapes (not normal decorative paper tapes) and worth the extra money to me because they are really thin, semi-transparent, have gorgeous designs, and I have so much fun using them. I cannot think of a brand of washi tape that measures up to Cavallini. 

Clinique Aromatics in White

White color definitely replaces the years-long trend of black color. One fragrance in the long line of very interesting editions arrives from the house of Clinique as a successor of the classic from 1971—Aromatics Elixir. As the oldest fragrance of the house of Clinique, Aromatics Elixir takes special place in the collection of the house but also an envious place for the quality of the composition in the perfume industry in general. Its chypre-floral composition highlights tart floral essences of carnation and rose, cooled with aldehydes and moss.

In October 2014 Clinique presents Aromatics in White, a women’s fragrance which lures with tart notes of Sichuan pepper, elegant violet leaves and labdanum in top notes. The gentle transition towards the heart comes with floral shades of roses and orange blossom, surrounded with patchouli, creating a harmonious union of floral and earthy textures. Depth and sensual aromas are ensured by leather musk, intertwined with warm grey amber, benzoin and vanilla. United this way, they leave a soft, oriental signature in the base. The new composition by Clinique is signed by perfumer Nicolas Beaulieu.

LEUCHTTURM 1917 MASTER NOTEBOOK

I came across Leuchtturm 1917 Notebooks about two years ago and can't recommend them enough.

 In that time I have stocked up to replace each one as it fills, but have ended up gifting them to increase their presence.

 I would compare this to Daycraft, Moleskine, Rhodia, JOTTRR and third-party journals by Paperchase etc. The paper quality in all of these journals is excellent, but none is as suitable for more water-based inks as this.

 The attention to detail as specified in their mission statement is without bounds. It feels like a journal made for journal keepers. 

There is a versatile pocket that outdoes the Moleskine's, there are labels of the perfect size provided for archiving, each page with its own number, a usable index and pages that lie flat to be written on, rather than folding back and forward like a see-saw.

 If you are a fan of blank pages, the company provides a lined/squared grid as standard for those times you need direction.

ICONIC 2 Way Deco Pen

To throw a splash of colour on my notes and greeting cards I use these Two-Way Deco Pens.

Set contains five different coloured pens, each with both a fine nib and a felt nib.
I  use the fine nib to take notes and   the  highlight nib for the important sections .I also make beautiful diary and notebook entries.
