Gucci 'Guilty' & LANVIN for H&M


Gucci 'Guilty' Directors Cut


How hot is this commercial for the new Gucci fragrance 'Guilty'? The ad stars Chris Evans of 'Fantastic Four' fame and Evan Rachel Wood, who you should all know from her on-again-off-again relationship with Marilyn Manson or some of you might remember her from the 2003 film 'Thirteen'.

With her fiery red hair, against a whiter than white completion she's appeared on the covers of not one, but two fashion publications this month...



I'm sure you've seen her on the Elle and Nylon covers at your local news stand and I'd suggest picking them both up if you haven't already. If not both, then I'd suggest the Nylon article which gets quite in-depth... but both are absolutely worth a read.

And the fragrance? Oh, I fucking die. It starts with a patchouli base, one of my favorite essential oils, but it's not too overwhelming... which can be a tricky thing to accomplish with patchouli. It follows with notes of pink pepper, mandarin, peach, lilac, geranium and amber and describes itself as a "floral oriental" fragrance. Personally, I love it and can't wait to actually purchase a full bottle... 30 mL goes for $55, 50mL @ $75 and 75mL for 95$. The line, as with most perfume lines, is also offered in a shower gel, body lotion and body shimmer. The luxy gold packaging with the interlocking 'G' would look so fabulous on my vanity as well.






And this Saturday at 8:00 a.m. ...drum roll please...

I know you all are just as excited as I am and have been anticipating this like crazy! The H&M here in downtown Vancouver will be opening their doors two hours early. Information for queues, bracelets, ect. for the event should be online by tomorrow or Thursday at the latest, so be sure to keep H&M as your home page until then... if it hasn't already been for the last month.
I managed to narrow down my absolute favorites to ten, roughly. I'll be up bright and early, bleary-eyed and starbucks in hand ready to scope out a good spot to wait in line so I can hopefully head home with one or more of these babies...





and the next two, I really want in not one, but both colors offered... because they are fabulous pieces, because it's LANVIN - one of the most noted Parisienne Haute Couture houses designing for a chain-store that most of us can actually afford... and I am way too indecisive for my own good....




Saturday, will be a great day. I'll try and get some snapshots of the madness if I can.
I've got a few more events to be attending before the end of the month - into December and Christmas madness... So as usual, I'll be keeping you posted on the run down of all the goodness going on here in Vancouver.

Speaking of Christmas madness, the coming week is the week of November 22, meaning all POOQ Purse Hooks will be discounted to 60% off @ socialshopper.com. The perfect gift for a classy, practical woman.


and with that I'll leave you with the fashion video for LANVIN for H&M. Enjoy!...
