Fragrance Friday: Abercrombie & Fitch no.1


Hello Lovelies! 

Finally I'm here with the second Fragrance Friday. I've been thinking about doing this for weeks, but every Friday I'm busy, and posting a Fragrance Friday on a Saturday just doesn't feel right ;)

I recently got this new perfume for my Birthday and I'm absolutely obsessed with it. I've been obsessed with Abercrombie in general. I bought it on my actual B-day, which I just thought that was cool, and hey, who doesn't want to look at the gorgeous AF models on your B-day.

A couple of months ago I was in Paris, and I smelled this perfume. If you smell it directly from the bottle it's not really like, gosh I love it. But I sprayed it on me and on a little card and during the day I just kept on smelling the card and I was addicted to it. I'm always hesitating whether to buy stuff or not. Since I just bought a Dior perfume I thought that 1 perfume was enough. So when I was home I regretted it so much that I didn't bought it, so then I knew I loved the perfume.

First of all I love the bottle. The shape is very classic, and I love the detailing on the side. Obviously I love the navy bow, I love anything that has a bow on it.

Second, the smell. I would describe it as a clean, fresh, feminine smell but still girly and sexy. It's definitely not the typical sultry, floral scent. It's the perfect all around scent, day and night, summer and winter. I don't know what they add to it, but it's addictive. It's a more mature scent, but still girly (but not in the sweet, floral way). I just feel very clean, fresh and I just think I smell very good when wearing this. It's my new everyday signature scent. I love it because it is very different than my other perfumes.

AF describes it as: Fresh, effortless and undeniably feminine, perfume no.1 is incredibly luxurious and uniquely carefree. af’s sexy signature scent was created by the world’s most sought after perfumers; the fragrance combines fresh peony, tangelo, white pepper, sandalwood and crisp white pine

Top Notes: Tangerine and Pomelo (Tangelo) 
Middle Notes: Fresh Peony (My favorite flower)
Base Notes: Sandalwood and Crisp white Pine


I also got a lot of mixed comments on it. It's definitely a yes or no perfume, you love it, or you don't. A lot of people said it smells amazing, and others didn't like it that much and thought it was a little to unisex, which makes sense because sandalwood is used in a lot of male perfumes.

Anyways, I love it and I'm addicted, and that's what counts. I hope you loved this post and found it helpful. Let me know below what your favorite all around signature scent is.

Which perfume do you want to see next?

Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

Spring/Summer trend: Pastel and Neon

I'm so inspired by the Louis Vuitton S/S 2012 ad campaign and the fashion show. So gorgeous, and so me!


Hi Lovelies


How are you doing? Flowers are growing and trees are popping...yes, do you smell it too? Spring! I'm so excited that the weather is changing en the sun is shining.


The fashion trends this season are so fun, especially the color trends. Creamsicle pastels and bright neons.


My favourites are the pastels, they are so delicious, sweet en soft, just like a macaroon. I love mint green (which is huge this season) and baby pink as well as soft yellow and a soft tangerine. As for the neons I love neon pink and that neon orange, coral color.


Nanette Lepore S/S 2012


You can color block with the pastels or neons but what I like to do is keep it a little more subtle. What I do is wear eg.: a mintgreen skirt with a white blouse and baby pink accessories, or mintgreen pants with a white top and a neon orange clutch. I feel like this way you still  follow the trends but in subtle way. I love following trends but don't forget to always keep your own style !
