Stella McCartney POP edp review

stella mccartney pop edp review

Fragrance: c/o Stella McCartney POP edp

Stella McCartney POP eau de parfum is a woody floral scent from famed designer Stella McCartney. POP by Stella McCartney is a warm, medium floral fragrance with a warm, woody base. It is a fabulous fragrance to wear now, and well into the fall season. Love!

Top notes: Tomato Leaves, Violet Leaves, Green Mandarin,

Middle notes: Violet, Tuberose, Plumeria,

Base notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musks

Stella McCartney POP edp starts off with a fresh, almost-green scent which is quickly met with the warm, smooth floral scent of violet and tuberose. The plumeria sits softly behind the violet and the tuberose. The floral scent has a slight woody lace throughout the day. After a full day, the florals settle in and you are left with a warm, woody base which is smoothed out by the musk note.

This combination of florals and woods makes POP by Stella McCartney perfect for moderate to cool weather. The scent is warming, yet bold; offering a cozy way to wear florals when the temperatures begin to dip. Love that!

I also would like to give this bottle design a shout out. The bottle evokes a carefree, 60’s vibe which is right in line with our current vintage trend in apparel. I always feel like an outfit is never complete without the right fragrance. POP is easy to wear with fall’s trends, making it the perfect finishing touch to any ensemble this autumn season.

I rate Stella McCartney POP edp five out of five stars! Love it!

Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey

The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey circus is currently in town! My husband and I took our three kids to see “The Greatest Show on Earth” at SAP Center on Friday, August 26. The theme of the show was “Out of this World.”

We were thrilled to see a space theme! My son, who is in third grade, wants to be an astronaut when he grows up, so to see a space theme circus, as his first-ever circus, was a dream come true for him!

The 3D light show made the circus ring come alive. The lights and theatrics really made the space theme feel real. It was so amazing! My ten year old daughter loved all of the animals and seeing them do tricks. She thought the dogs were so cute, and she was mesmerized by the horse vaulting!

My oldest daughter loved the acrobats, which were my favorite too. I was amazed by the way they could twist and manipulate their bodies. How in world do they do it!? My husband loved the animals and the acrobats. We also loved the ice skating tricks! My favorite skit was the basketball game on unicycles. It was hilarious and my husband’s absolute favorite. We were all amazed!

We also loved how the clowns came around the audience before the show started, and chatted with people, took photos, and made us laugh. They were so personable, nice, and hilarious!

Of course I have to give a shout out to the amazing costumes! The fabrics, quality of craftsmanship, texture, colors, and design were outstanding. In the photos above, there is a female animal trainer, that was my favorite costume of the night! My iPhone photo doesn’t do it justice. The purple was vibrant and the texture was incredible. All of the costumes were beautiful; it was unreal!

If you have never been to the circus before, you must go! It is fun for all ages, so even if you don’t have kids, you should go! I saw pairs, and groups in their 20’s enjoying the show just as much as the families.

You can learn more, and find tickets for Bay Area shows, or shows in your area, by visiting ringling.com.

One of the big trends for the fall 2016 season, is the fall florals trend. Dark hued florals, and bold floral patterns, are huge this autumn season. So when I spotted this fall dress donning a fabulous fall floral pattern, I knew I needed it in my life!

I am always on the hunt for a fabulous, versatile dress. This kimono style dress from Karina Dresses is perfect for the fall season. Not only does it reflect the current fall trends from the runways, it is incredibly comfortable. Love that!

This dress can easily be worn casually, as I have styled it, or paired with pumps for a dressier look. It will also look amazing when the weather gets cooler with knee boots. For a more bohemian look, this Karina dress can be paired with flats, a fringe handbag, and layered necklaces. Love!

If you are looking for a versatile dress this fall, which can easily be worn casually or dressy, then check out Karina dresses! You can find their entire collection online here. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
