Dolce & Gabbana “The One” is a beautiful, warm fragrance which has been on the market for several years. For 2014, Dolce & Gabbana has redesigned the popular eau de parfum and housed it in a beautiful polished, golden bottle. This fabulous bottle launches November 2013; just in for the holiday 2013 season! Love it!

Dolce & Gabbana “The One” EDP is on of my favorite fragrances. It is a light yet warm and sensuous fragrance experience which is easy to wear lightly during the day with one spritz, and heavier at night with two or three spritzes. “The One” by Dolce & Gabbana can also be worn heavier by layering it with the corresponding body lotion or shower gel.

The 2014 edtion of Dolce & Gabbana’s “The One” offers the same, woody floral fragrance experience yet offers the luxury of a golden bottle. Perfect gift for the holidays!

Dolce & Gabbana “The One” 2014 edition starts off with a fresh, fruity floral scent. After about thirty minutes the fruits settle down and a warm, smooth floral scent takes over from the Madonna Lily heart. As the day wears on, the floral scent mixes with a woody, warm base which lingers at the end of the day. The overall fragrance experience is a warm, woody floral which is smooth and not too sweet. Perfection!

Top notes: mandarin, lychee, peach, bergamot

Middle notes: Madonna Lily, muguet, jasmine

Base notes: amber, musk, vanilla, vetyver

Dolce & Gabbana “The One” 2014 edition is priced at $108 and can be found online here and here.

Here it is! The fabulous dress I picked out during my visit to the Jigsaw London San Francisco shop last week. I adored the entire collection in the store and wished I could bring home all three of the dresses I tried on, but this one was the winner! I wore this dress to my cousin’s wedding in Sonoma. It was perfect. The long sleeves kept the crisp, evening fog from giving me a chill and the dress was easy to dance the night away in! Love that!

The print was also a hit with my family! They loved it; and it also happens to be an exclusive print designed especially for Jigsaw London! I love exclusivity!

I love the high quality of Jigsaw London’s clothing, comfortable fabrics and flattering cuts. It is my new favorite store! What are your favorite pieces from Jigsaw London? To view the collection, please visit Jigsaw-London.com.

Jigsaw London Holiday Shopping Event recap

Jigsaw London on Fillmore Street in San Francisco held a fabulous shopping event on November 7, 2013 which helped kick off the holiday shopping season. The store was jam-packed with customers shopping for the holidays; as well as themselves!

I was impressed with the delightful treats and champagne which were placed at the front of the store among beautiful clothing and accessories. Not only was I surrounded by a festive atmosphere, I was surrounded by beautiful clothes! Even the décor was amazing. I fell in love with everything hanging on the wall!

Jigsaw London has a beautiful collection filled with Holiday ensembles, dressy attire and daytime looks. I feel in the love with the three dresses shown in the photo above. Of course, one of those dresses came home with me! Which dress do you think I picked? Stay tuned to find out which dress I decided to keep!

If you are local to the Bay Area, please take some time to stop by Jigsaw London San Francisco located at 2121 Fillmore Street. If not, they have a fabulous website at Jigsaw-London.com.
