L'Eau De Prep

Following in Ralph Lauren's footsteps, Tommy Hilfiger just launched his new line of fragrances, "Eau de Prep" this month.   The collection features two fragrances,  Eau de Prep Tommy Girl and Eau de Prep Tommy. The fragrances reflect sporty yet elegant style, quite similar to the Tommy Hilfiger way of life.

Eau de Prep Tommy features red grapefruit, wild clary sage and passionate granadilla top notes, Egyptian Geranium, wet greens, a splash of tonic, white pepper, lavender absolute and juniper berries middle notes and finally rich amber, and georgywood, oak moss and white suede base notes.

The flacons are very elegant, made of see-through glass and embellished with golden inscriptions and capital while also featuring a new crest from Tommy Hilfiger.

The collection was developed by Hilfiger licensee, Estee Lauder Cos.' Aramis and Designer Fragrances unit. Fragrances Eau de Prep Tommy Girl and Eau de Prep Tommy is available as 50 and 100 ml from the Tommy Hilfiger website where they retail for $65.

Happy 4th of July!

Fashion Forward #15 - Addicted To Brogue

If you've ever worn a good pair of leather boots you'll know just how empowering it is and how that solid first step can set the tone for the rest of your day. A lot of the past Fall/Winter runway shows featured solid boots and one in particular, the Brogue Boot, was more popular than the others. I am a big fan of the perforated look (brogueing, or perforating the surface of the shoe originated with the purpose of allowing water inside the shoe to drain out when the wearer crossed wet terrain) and I am glad more and more boots are manufactured using this technique.

A nice pair of Tricker's Brogue boots can be found at OiPolloi.com

Urban Inspiration #2 - 2011 Wird Alles Besser

Happy 2011, may you all have a fashionable and happy new year! A combination of WearPalettes.com and LookBook.nu brought me to Simon Schmidt, a 14 year old blogger from Germany. Even if he were older I'd still be a fan of his looks, however for someone to have developed a unique and interesting sense of style at such a young age is what makes Simon that more special!
