Jennifer Aniston Fragrance

Jennifer Aniston is one of my favorite people alive! We've all gladly invited her and the rest of the Friends gang in our homes and even after the tremendous success of the show and her numerous big screen appearances, she's managed to keep it real and stay incredibly sweet and genuine. After all the drama that the media created following her divorce and  consequent relationships, Jen Aniston remains immune to nasty rumors and the tireless pursues of the paparazzi.

Yesterday, at Harrods in London, Jennifer Aniston launched her very own debut fragrance! Celebrities like Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker and many others have launched a number of fragrances and I think millions will appreciate a product by their favorite style icon Jen Aniston.

The fragrance was initially named Lolavie which, in translation from French means 'laughing at life', but Jennifer Aniston finally decided to use her own name for branding the product. As Harrods report, "The Debut Fragrance is a fruity/floral perfume, inspired by Jennifer Aniston's earliest and most treasured recollections of scent. A captivating blend of blooming jasmine, citrus notes and a sensual musk base evoke long sunny days at the beach and balmy summer evenings." The top notes are: citrus grove accord and rose water. Middle notes: blooming jasmine, wild violets and Amazon lily. Base notes are: sensual musk, golden amber and sandalwood. The fragrance comes in three different sizes. The 85ml bottle sells for £36.00 at Harrods.

The bottle design, which I really love, was inspired by Jen Aniston's love for modern architecture.

At the opening event, Jennifer Aniston was her usual fabulous self and showed of her toned and tanned body in a beautiful Valentino nude mini dress.

Mario Sorrenti is the photographer behind the the fragrance campaign (he's worked with Jennifer Aniston before on the Smart Water campaign).

I am very curious to try this fragrance, but I'd probably have to wait until it's launch in the US, or make a quick stop to London ;)

Love,

Vacation in Europe

Hello Darlings!
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer, soaking up the sun and the beauty of the season.

I am currently on vacation in Europe and it is blissful! I'm spending more time seeing people and going places than blogging or browsing through the internet, but I really enjoy this change from my 'compulsive e-mail checking' daily routine.

I will post pictures and comments on the fashion trends I see here, in the Old Continent!

Love,

This Blog is Carbon Neutral

Air is a sacred element. It surrounds us all and breathes life into everything. The atoms that I exhale is inhaled by the person next to me and vice verse. Air connects us all as living things and all living things require air! You need proof? Just try not breathing for a while. Soon enough you will realize your whole being demands air. That's because breathing is controlled by one of the oldest parts of the brain - the respiratory center of the brain stem. It was one of the first brain parts to evolve - that's how critical air is, and has always been.

This vital elements is for all of us to share, without boundaries or privileges. Breathing air is a right that we have enjoyed and the generations to come deserve the same right. Yet, we pollute the air more rapidly than ever before in human history. We not only dump poisonous chemicals in the atmosphere, but we take away the Earth's natural Oxygen-supply-system - forests. We buy gadgets to filtrate our tap water, or buy bottled water. We are concerned with eating organic food, or ,to say the least ,we don't want to consume anything poisonous. However, we forget to pay the same regard to the quality of the air we breathe, because too often, we take it for granted. Well, I am afraid that, soon enough, clean air will not be as freely available. If that happens, will we just buy bottled air? How  are we going to filtrate it for our children? I say we don't wait any longer. I believe that everyone has a choice and  if we collectively exercise the power to make constructive decisions, good things will start happening. I say, let's plant a tree! =)

If you are not able to go out there and plant a tree yourself, you can support the  "Make it Green Programme" and the Arbor Day Foundation. They will plant a tree for you, so that it could minimize your carbon footprint.

I want my blog to be carbon neutral and I support the 'Make it Green Programme'!
