Laura Mercier has a new fragrance for the fall season which has been added to her line of body products this month; the new scent is warm “Ambre Vanille!” Ambre Vanille is perfect for the fall season as it combines warm woods, florals and sweet vanilla to create a warm and cozy fragrance expereience for the moderate to cool weather found in autumn. Ambre Vanille by Laura Mercier also happens to contain Fall’s ultimate “HipNote” of sandalwood. Love this!
Top notes: tangerine, coconut, almond

Middle notes: tiger orchid, milk flower, helitrope

Base notes: vanilla beans, brown sugar, sandalwood

Laura Mercier’s new fragrance Ambre Vanille is available at Sephora.com in a honey bath soap at $40, a bath scrub priced at $46 and a body cream priced at $55.
I tested out the Body Cream and it was A-MA-ZING! As is always the case with Laura Mercier’s body cream, the Ambre Vanille body cream is moisturing without leaving a greasy film and locks in your skin’s moisture. As someone who has sworn by Laura Mercie’s body creams for the past ten years, I am in love with this new scent! Ambre Vanille is a must try.
I rate Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille body cream five out of five stars!

Laura Mercier’s Ambre Vanille can be found online at Sephora.com and at Laura Mercier counters.

This fall, silhouettes are more structured and casual clothing has taken on an edgy yet comfortable vibe. With skinny jeans and black leather leggings being the go-to casual pants of the season, tops will automatically be long and have a natural flow to them. These types of ensembles call for a long and versatile necklace which offers the perfect symmetry to the season’s long sweaters, tee-shirts, tops and blouses.

The new “Urban” necklace from Twisted Silver offers a long necklace style in antiqued silver. The pendant offers a geometric, 1980’s vibe; yet is simple enough to work with a blazer or thrown over a long blouse andleather leggings.
