My inspiration for my cosmetic line comes from just about everything; jewelry, fashion, furniture, nature, colors— you get the picture. Today I’m focused on a timeless fashion staple… black and white. I’ve had a thing for this color scheme for about 7 years now… I’m so fortunate that it never goes out of style! At any rate, I’m in search of some interesting perfume and/or apothecary bottles and I thought “how classy would a black and white bottle be?!” So armed with inspiration from two very fashionable dresses, I began my hunt for some haute fragrance bottles. TaDaaaaa!!!!
I think the best way to compliment such a straight forward look is to soften it with feminine makeup (no lipstick, just gloss or stain) and a light fragrance– something floral or citrus. Let’s face it, when wearing the most contrasting color scheme you’re commanding enough attention!!!

From the runway to the streets, feathers are a hot item for fashionistas worldwide! Fashion forecasters predict this trend is going to carry on well into the spring/summer season. The look is neutral and romantic; more for the elegant and classy… not quite for the bold and the flashy. I would however love to see how someone more adventurous with their style would incorporate a smashing feather piece.
This trend caught my eye and got my wheels turning to create a fragrance from matched inspiration. I imagine a rich and smooth scent with a sweet vanilla and nutty vetiver base, blended with soft woody undertones and a touch of creamy coconut.
Its all just melting together wonderfully in my mind… now to make it work in The Glam Laboratory!
