I am so excited to talk about the L’Oreal Paris Ever Hair Care Collection with you! This collection features a hair care product for every type of hair; which is so amazing! The collection is made from botanical ingredients, and is 100% sulfate-free, dye free, paraben free, vegan, and gentle on color treated hair. Love!
So my teenage daughter will get really mad that I am writing this, but, in order to give a proper review, I need to let you know what works! My adorable teenager has dandruff, so she has been testing out the L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Anti-Dandruff shampoo and conditioner. She washes and blowdries her hair everyday; without any heat protective product. Her hair takes a daily beating, so dandruff has been a problem. She has been using the L’Oreal Paris Ever Fresh Anti-Dandruff shampoo and conditioner for about two weeks now, and she loves it! It has eliminated her dandruff problem, and her hair remains well-moisturized, without any film. She loves it!
My middle daughter has fine, curly hair. She loves to make sure her curls are in ringlets, yet has volume. If her hair looks flat, she rewashes it! I gave her the L’Oreal Paris Ever Pure Volume shampoo and conditioner to test out. Her curls are staying bouncy, and her hair is fluffy with volume. She is very happy with this shampoo and conditioner! So if you are looking for volume, this works!
My hair tends to be dry from continual use of a flat iron and blow dryer. Since I need moisture, not oil, added to my hair, I decided to test out the L’Oreal Paris Pure Moisture Shampoo and conditioner. It does the job without leaving my hair with an oily film. Love it!
I have a feeling the Ever Creme collection will come in handy this summer when my whole family has dry hair from the pool, and the beach. Since the L’Oreal Paris Ever Hair Care Collection is free of parabens, dyes, and sulfates, I feel confident letting my kids use it on their hair.
This is a great collection of hair care products, all affordably priced! Love that! You can find the collection available to shop online by clicking on the photos in the widget below. I would love hear what you think of this collection!

So this is the yellow dress. THE yellow dress I had planned to wear at the rewardStyle “Escape to Tulum” pool party a couple of weeks ago. It was in my suitcase, and I was ready to wear it! Unfortunately I could not wear it because I forgot to pack my strapless bra. Ugh! Total faux-pas.
I did wear it shortly after returning from Dallas to my friends house for some yummy BBQ. We snapped a few photos in front of our oh-so-picturesque garage door before leaving the house. I didn’t want to start peacocking at my my friend’s house, so it was better to snap a few photos at home before we left. I really wanted to share this dress with you!
Mustard is a hot color trend this season, and it is a new color for my closet. I tend to gravitate towards shades of blue, pink, purple, and green. Of course, I wear my share of black and white too! This season, I decided it was time to break out of my normal color pattern and try the mustard trend. I am so glad I did!
Do you know what my husband said when I came down the stairs in this dress? He said, “Wow, that’s a really nice dress. It looks pretty on you. Aren’t you overdressed?” haha This is a casual dress silly! I was surprised he said that because he tends to like form-fitting clothing, or short hemlines. It was really nice to hear him compliment a maxi dress! Love that!
This will be a really fun dress to wear during the spring, and summer seasons. It looks cute for a pool party, backyard BBQ, or as a beach cover-up; plus this mustard dress is under $20! Love!
So have you ever packed an outfit, or a dress, for a trip, and not been able to wear it on the trip, only to wear it later on?
OK, you might be looking at the title of this post and asking yourself, why is she writing an article about how to match your perfume to your outfit on her blog. Well, there is a backstory here!
When I get dressed in the morning, I always choose my fragrance based upon what I am wearing, the weather outside, and the occasion. I always feel that you are never fully dressed without the proper perfume. Shortly after I started this blog in 2010, I thought it would be fun to start a second blog dedicated to matching your perfume to your outfit, but I soon realized, I could only keep up with one blog plus work, homeschooling my daughter, and the activities of my three children.
It has been a few years since I wrote about matching perfume to an outfit, so I thought I would bring the concept here; maybe it interests you?
I am a firm believer in investing in good perfume. Many people think fragrances have a shelf life of up to three years, but this simply isn’t the case. If stored correctly, eau de toilette’s, eau de parfum’s, parfum’s, and other fragrance types, can easily be kept for years and years. This means it is OK to have a warm weather fragrance wardrobe, and a cool weather fragrance wardrobe. If you have several types of perfumes to choose from, you can easily match your perfume to your outfit, or match your fragrance to a current fashion trend.
Without further audieu, here are five current fashion and style trends, and the perfect perfume type to wear with them for a complete look!
Florals
The most groundbreaking of all the current trends, the floral trend. 😉 It is pretty safe to assume that most people own at least one floral item. Florals are a classic spring trend; despite their reinvention every year. That being said, if you are going to wear florals, wear a perfume which is geared towards warm weather, and offers a fruity-floral fragrance experience.
Fruity-florals are the best types of floral fragrances to wear with the floral trend. The fruity notes turn an otherwise sticky sweet floral scent into something playful, and ideal, for warmer temperatures.
For summer 2017, my favorite fruity-floral fragrance to wear with the floral trend is Escada’s limited edition “Fiesta Carioca.” It is a playful scent which evokes a party feeling; making it perfect for spring, summer, and wearing florals! You can read my review here.

Gingham
There is something classic, feminine, and preppy about the gingham trend. Although many gingham pieces this season are offering asymmetrical lines, exaggerated ruffles, and other non-preppy features, there is something inherently timeless about the trend. That being said, a classic, warm floral scent is the perfect type of perfume to wear with this trend.
My favorite warm floral fragrance to wear with the gingham trend this year is Lacoste’s new “L.12.12 Pour Elle Magnetic.” This is a classic floral fragrance which combines violet and jasmine notes with a warm vanilla base. It is easy to wear in warm or hot weather, and offers a modern yet timeless fragrance experience. It is perfect for the current gingham trend since it is a timeless fabric pattern which has been modernized this season through ruffles and asymmetrical lines. My review of this scent is online here.

Ruffles
Ruffles most certainly do not have ridges, in fact, they are soft and fluffy for 2017.This is a huge trend for spring and summer 2017. Since ruffles are so playful and sassy, they are perfectly paired with a citrus fragrance.
Citrus scents are sassy by nature. They aren’t sugary sweet like florals, and they offer a slightly sweet and sour fragrance experience. Citrus scents are perfect for hot weather, and they are light and fluffy; much like this season’s ruffle trend. Perfection!
My ideal citrus perfume to wear with ruffles this year is Hermes “Eau de Mandarin Ambree.” This is a medium strength citrus scent which is so refreshing, it evokes a feeling of a newly peeled mandarin orange. Yes, it might make you crave mandarin oranges, which isn’t a bad thing, they are yummy!

Greenery
Greenery is the color of 2017! Therefore, it is only natural that this hot color trend have a perfume category of it’s own. Actually, I am giving the greenery trend two fragrance categories to choose from; green-florals, and fruity.
You might be asking me, why two? Well, green-florals do not suit everyone. So, if green based scents aren’t your thing, fruity fragrances will work! BUT, not all fruity fragrances; it is a little more complex then just any ol’ fruit.
Let’s start with fruity. If fruity fragrances are more your speed, look for fruits which are not sweet. My favorite fruity fragrance to wear with the Greenery color trend is Wen’s “Cucumber Basil Tea.” It is not sweet at all, and offers a fresh, warm weather fragrance experience which is perfect to wear with green. So when looking for a fruity fragrance, look for one mixed with vegetables and herbs, it will offer that non-sweet, mature fragrance experience which is natural and ideal for greenery.
Green-florals are an acquired taste. People tend to love them or hate them. I have a hard time with green-florals, but I have to admit, they really are perfect to wear with Greenery. My favorite green-floral to wear with Greenery is Chanel’s “No. 19 Poudre.” It has the green fragrance experience with a powdery base from Iris. This is the only green-floral scent I will wear, and it is a classic.

Blush
This is the trend that won’t stop! I remember being shocked when it flooded the runways last September for spring 2017 in New York. I feel like blush has been in style for so many seasons, I have lost count! That being said, it is an easy color for many people to wear, and it is also easy to wear with other colors; it almost acts like a neutral. Although, unless your personal style is feminine and airy, it can be a hard color to pull off.
Since blush is naturally feminine and sweet, it is only natural that the ideal perfume to wear with the blush trend is a sticky-sweet floral scent. When pairing your fragrance with blush, most pink liquids will yield that sweet floral scent which works perfectly with this fashion trend.
My favorite sweet-floral fragrance to wear with the blush trend this season is Gucci Bamboo. It is sticky-sweet without being sickly-sweet. It is a mature version of a sweet floral. Love it!
