Bye Bye Betsey!

This is something I wasn't too much expecting. Famed designer Betsey Johnson is planning on retiring after her September show. She, along with partner Chantal Bacon, just wants to travel, with not too many cares in the world. She says she wants to live a life similar to Ralph Lauren.

"But I’ll be a megaconsultant. I’ll go in. I want to be like Ralph [Lauren]. Like, I always imagined the perfect life is like Ralph, where he goes in, and his wonderful expert crews show him work, and he goes, 'Love it, love it, love it, um, we’ll just put that aside for the moment, love it, love it, hmmm.' You know what I mean?" she said. "And be that — be the inspiration, the light at the end of the tunnel, the fairy godmother that comes down."

And don't worry about who's taking her spot, she already has that under control. Johnson believes Eric Sartori, who previously designed for Vera Wang, Hervé Léger, and Azzedine Alaïa, will become the brand’s head designer. “He is the one,” she says. “He’s much better than I am. He just has to Betsey-fy himself.”

Betsey Turns 30!

Ok, not the real Betsey Johnson...we all know she's bout old as dirt...but her clothing line is now celebrating its 30th anniversary. And guess what... you get to celebrate with her! She has all kinds of anniversary goodies so you can hold on to the memories. 30 years is quite the milestone for any designer, and Betsey should get extra kudos for overcoming breast cancer while maintaining her ultra hip and trendy brand. She's the definition of young at heart, so lets all do a cart wheel in honor of 30 years strong!

Mmmm You Smell Good!

Nothing is better than walking by someone and them saying "Wow you smell really good what is that?" and of course I say "My pores!" lmao...kidding. But seriously some scents are so mesmerizing and yummy that they linger on for days, and when you smell them again they bring back all sorts of memories. Now these scents listed below are my ultimate favorites. They're not new parfums, but hey not all the new scents are the best scents. So I advise you to spray on these fragrances while you're at your local Macy's (and piss off the sales girl :-)) to see if you agree with my choices.

Hanae Mori

During the brief time I lived in Atlanta I was in the mall and of course I got attacked by a beauty sales woman. She gave me a blotter card of Hanae Mori and when I say I fell in love...I mean I fell hard! I sat there and let her explain the whole history of the brand to me just so I could keep spraying on the sample and slathering on lotion. It's a really soft sweet scent (most of these scents are sweet) and it lasts all day! I have yet to purchase the parfum because now that I'm (temporarily) in Michigan I can't remember the exact version I tried on (BUMMER). They all smell amazing though.

Betsey Johnson

I wear Betsey faithfully! I remember being in the store for at least 15mins trying to decide which smelled better, Betsey or Heiress by Paris Hilton....obviously Betsey won. This is a very sweet scent as well with notes including grapefruit, tangerine, and sandalwood. And not only will you smell great, we can't forget Betsey makes clothes so of course the bottle looks fly sitting on your vanity. This parfum may just make you do cartwheels like the designer herself!

Calvin Klein Euphoria

When I use to work for Calvin Klein I'd spray on Euphoria every time I walked in the door. Funny thing is I had never even smelled it before I worked there, then I was suddenly addicted. Honestly this list probably isn't fair because all the scents are fruity and sweet...I'm just not into mature old lady scents yet...oh well. This is by far the best fragrance from Calvin Klein...by far! And I'm sure it comes with a really cute free with purchase item, lol.

Donna Karen Cashmere Mist

I've saved the best for last. Just saying the name Cashmere Mist takes me to a place of inner joy! I got Cashmere Mist for a Christmas gift one year and I used it like once every other week because it was too special for everyone to get to smell it, lol. I would say this scent is more or a very light floral scent that really just sneaks up on you and does pleasant things to your nostrils, it's amazing. This is reminding me that I need to re-cop Cashmere Mist ASAP!

So enough about my favorites, what's your favorite smell goods?
