MJB To Celebrate With Gucci For New York's Fashion Week

Everyone's excited about New York's Fashion Week - Spring 2010. A week dedicated to Fashion, Beauty, and Parties - oh my (who wouldn't be)!?! Speaking of celebrations, on September 16th, 2009, Mary J. Blige will be teaming up with Gucci to host an exclusive evening of cocktails and charitable event. Smack in the middle of Fashion Week, the Italian Fashion House and Grammy Award-Winning singer will join forces in Gucci's 5th Avenue boutique to benefit the Foundation For the Advancement of Women Now. This duo will definitely serve a punch of fashion fusion. Why do I have a sneaky suspension that there's more to come out of the collaboration with these two?

Perfume of the Month: Flora by Gucci

This month’s perfume will be the fresh and elegant new Flora by Gucci.


The very fresh and floral scent that Gucci says is meant for young, sweet but somewhat daring people, was originally inspired by a pattern this Italian brand made exclusively for Princess Grace of Monaco (formerly known as Grace Kelly) in 1966. In Europe this pattern is very well known, used, and copied by many people, regardless their age.

Rose and Osmanthus flowers compose the heart of this fragrance, while it’s top note is citrus fresh, in an attempt to bring sexiness into the symphony a good perfume should be. As most, if not all, Gucci fragrances, the bottom note is woody, being that sandal and patchouli are the main ingredients.




In my opinion, and having worn this fragrance already, I’d say that the mixture of the velvety Osmanthus with the warm Sandalwood reminds me of Musky scent. If the perfume had a better staying power, I am pretty sure that you could clearly smell the bottom notes by themselves. The bottle is somehow both clearly retro but undeniably classic. Its clean strait architecture inspired lines don’t allow for it to look dated but the vintage feel is still very clear. Overall, if you really love floral perfumes, this is a good choice despite that fact that it dies fast and only leaves a soft trace after 4 or 5 hours. Otherwise, this might not be the perfume for you.

Micky's Secret Weapons

Olá! (That’s how we say hello where I came from.) Maybe you saw that there’s a new contributor to this blog and you’re wondering who is Micky? I am a 21 year old, Portuguese pharmaceutical sciences student. As all the other contributors to this blog, I embrace my love for fashion, cosmetics and art in general and I am here to share it with you. Being that "Fashion Is Foremost Inspiration", I truly believe that everybody has something to teach and a lot to learn and I try to live my life by that motto every single day.

Now that you know who I am I’d like to talk to you about weapons. That’s right, weapons. The weapons YOU have in life. You have your external weapons such as your beauty, you’re sense of style, your smile and that occasional raised eyebrow that tells people they don’t want to mess with you right now. You have your internal weapons such as you intelligence, your skills, the unique way you can handle a confrontation on your work place, the way you can make your best friend smile when everything seems just wrong. And then you have the secret weapons. Of course these are the ones you need to discover by yourself but I’ll give you a hint of one of them- Perfume! That’s right. You can’t see it but all the other senses magically wake up when you smell a lovely perfume.

In my opinion perfume should fit your moods. You’re going on a hot date? A warm, velvet like perfume will make you feel instantly sexy and will put that lovely naughty smile on your lips. I suggest Hugo Deep Red by Hugo Boss, one of my personal favourites







So it’s a job interview and you’re nervous? A soft and fresh perfume with calming scent to it will give you that extra confidence that shows through. I suggest Gucci II (2) by Gucci






Night out with the girls? A sweet candy like scent will surely give you that hint of fun that’ll get you started on an awesome Lady’s Only night out. (My personal suggestion is Kenzo Amour by Kenzo since it's also a bit sexy and you never know who you can stumble upon...)
My last tip for you is something I read in an etiquette book years and years ago. People should only be able to smell your perfume when they are close enough to kiss you on the cheek.
