Spring has sprung! This means it is time to think about which fragrances to wear in the warm spring months. So, I thought I would share with you my all-time top five classic spring fragrances from my collection; it also happens to be National Fragrance Day 😉

One of my favorite indulgences is fragrance. I love trying new scents, and adding new perfumes to my collection. Over time, I have found I always gravitate towards classic, seasonal fragrances which work for the weather, the occasion, and the outfit I am wearing.

The five spring fragrances pictured above are my top five picks for the spring season. I love these fragrances due to their complex fragrance experiences (with the exception of LaVanila, which is just a beautiful, two note perfume), their long lasting scents, high quality ingredients, and beautiful compositions.

LaVanila Vanilla Coconut is the perfect, everyday scent for the spring season. It has a warm vanilla base, which when combined with the coconut heart, creates the perfect, gourmand scent for the warmer weather. It is definitely my everyday go-to fragrance of the season!

Creed Spring Flower is serious business. It was Audrey Hepburn’s favorite perfume. It is a green floral which is ideal for warm, and hot weather. I love wearing it with dressier ensembles. Creed Spring Flower is great for evenings, and special occasions!

Dolce Floral Drops is such a pretty floral scent! It is my go-to fragrance on casual days when I am out and about. It is great to wear to fundraising luncheons, business meetings, and anytime you want a lighter floral fragrance in the spring. Love!

Escada Turquoise Summer is really a fabulous spring/summer scent. I love the combination of florals and woods. This is a great scent to wear to the beach, a backyard BBQ, a pool party, or a girl’s night out. It is a fun, and lighthearted fragrance. I love fun!!

Bond No 9 Chintown is my heaviest spring fragrance. Actually, I wear this scent throughout the year. It really transcends season. I chose to highlight it for spring because of the pink pepper top notes. There is something springy about pink pepper top notes! I love the spicy floral composition of this fragrance. It really cycles through different combinations of notes. If you like complex, heavier fragrances, this is the spring perfume for you! I reach for Chinatown when I am dressed up, or attending a formal event; but have found myself wearing it on random, casual occasions too. It is simply beautiful.

What are your favorite classic spring fragrances?

chanel longwear nail polish new formula

Pictured: Chanel Roubachka nail polish from the new for spring 2016, longwear formula collection

Chanel Roubachka nail polish is a deep, dark purple hue from Chanel’s new longwear nail polish formula collection. This new for spring 2016 color offers a dark, vampy color which is mysterious, and alluring. I am in love!

If you have not tried Chanel’s new nail polish formula yet, you must try it! You can find the entire collection online here. This nail polish DOES. NOT. CHIP! I cannot even begin to describe to you how amazing this is! My nails grow, and that is the only time I see my actual nail. The polish stays put; even after cleaning the house, washing dishes, and working out. It is truly magical!

For spring 2016, Chanel Roubachka nail polish is a new color from the longwear nail polish collection. This color is a classic, vampy purple which could be worn during any season of the year. I would love to wear this color in the fall months. I feel like it works perfectly with the upcoming color palette for autumn we just saw on the runways. It is true perfection!

I tested out Chanel Roubachka nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and one top coat. There were zero chips after eight days! I cleaned my house, without gloves, in order to test the strength of Chanel’s new nail polish formula. It withstood scrubbing the kitchen, four bathrooms, mopping the floor, picking up toys, picking up legos (you know how tedious this can be), and dusting. I also worked out with weights at the gym, which can chip nail polish. Nope! No chips! I had to pinch myself to make sure I was not dreaming. Chanel Roubachka nail polish, and Chanel’s new formula in general, is amazing.

There are fifteen new colors from Chanel’s new longwear nail polish collection. The collection includes several favorite hues, as well as new colors for the spring season. I never thought Chanel could improve upon their formula, but they did! Wow!

If you see a color from Chanel’s new nail polish collection you would like me to test out, let me know in the comments below. I cannot wait to see more colors added to the collection in this new longwear formula. It is so fabulous!

Chanel Roubachka nail polish can be found online here, here, and here.

dolce gabbana dolce rosa lipstick spring 2016 review dolce rosa lipstick spring 2016

Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa for spring 2016

Dolce Rosa is a new, fabulous lipstick color from Dolce & Gabbana for the spring 2016 season. Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa lipstick is a vivid pink hue which blends perfectly with the designing duo’s spring 2016 nail polish color Bonbon. The two look perfect together!

Vivid pink nail polish, and lipstick, is a hot trend in beauty for the spring 2016 season. So it is no wonder that Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa lipstick is the perfect color for the warm weather season. I love how it looks on; this pink can be worn during the day, or for evening occasions. Love that! Dolce Rosa can also be worn now, and into the summer season. Now how’s that for perfection?!

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa lipstick is a matte lipstick which glides on smoothly. The lipstick is long lasting, does not run, does not smudge, and does not move a muscle. I love lipstick that stays where I put it!

I also love how moisturizing Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa matte lipstick is on the lips. I do not need to apply Chapstick, or any lip balm before applying Dolce Rosa. This lipstick is perfect on it’s own; without any help from a base or moisturizer. Simplicity is everything.

This is a lipstick I plan to wear on a daily basis throughout the season. Dolce Rosa matte lipstick is the perfect pink color! I am definitely in love!

I rate Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa lipstick for spring 2016, five out of five stars!
