Santana Row’s annual Poolside Soiree took place June 7, 2014 and gave Fashionistas in the Bay Area and beyond a snapshot into what is hot for summer 2014. There was a large amount of flowing fabrics, hi-lo hemlines, boot-cut jeans/pants, softer hues than in season’s past, boho prints, boho silhouettes, pops of orange, pops of fuchsia, and form-fitting suiting for men. The overall vibe of the show was playful and fun; essentially what summer in the Bay Area is all about!

If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, make sure you come down to Santana Row in San Jose for a day of fabulous meals and even more fabulous shopping! I already have my eyes on several of these ensembles for summer. . .

Prada Luna Rossa Extreme is the new fragrance for men from Prada. Debuting in December 2013, this popular men’s fragrance has quickly become one of the most coveted scents for men. For Father’s Day 2014, Prada has introduced a limited edition gift set which contains a 3.4 oz eau de toilette and 3.4 oz. after shave balm. This is the perfect set for Father’s Day; or any gifting opportunity for that matter!
We tested out both the eau de toilette and after shave balm from Prada Luna Rossa and loved the scent! The overall fragrance was warm with a peppery top which settled in after about twenty minutes. The heart of the fragrance is amber which is slightly sweetened by a light vanilla base. The fragrance experience is warm and offers medium strength; making it appropriate for everyday wear. Love that!
Top notes: Italian Bergamot, black pepper, fresh lavender
Jay Z “Gold” eau de toilette is a fruity-wood based fragrance for men. The combination of grapefruit, vetiver and woody base notes create a soft, sweet, and smooth fragrance experience which is easy for a man to wear on a daily basis. We tested out Jay Z “Gold” edt on Rob for a few days and loved the results!
Rob wore Jay Z “Gold” while working behind a desk, doing yard-work, going for a jog and attending a backyard BBQ. Throughout all actives, Jay Z “Gold” cycled through the top, middle and base fragrance notes without wearing off too early or becoming overbearing while doing yard-work, jogging or being outside in the sun at a BBQ.
Jay Z “Gold” edt started off with a smooth, fruit scent which was soft and enticing. As the day wore on, Jay Z “Gold” offered a smooth, woody scent which was soft and masculine. At the end of the day, Jay Z “Gold” left a slight vetiver and musk scent which was perfect on a cool spring night.
Base notes: grapefruit, ginger, cardamon
Middle notes: Vetiver Base
Base notes: Amber, Myrrh, Teak Wood, Bourbon Vanilla
Jay Z “Gold” edt is a soft, men’s fragrance which is ideal for wearing on a daily basis. Due to the soft fragrance experience, Jay Z “Gold” edt can easily be worn to the office, the theater, and any activity where there could be tight quarters. Since the fragrance is soft, men will not have to worry about washing it off prior to working out; since many fitness facilities have a “no fragrance” policy. The fragrance notes used in Jay Z “Gold” edt are commonly loved by men; this means it will make a fabulous gift for Father’s Day or any gift-giving occasion! Love that!
Jay Z “Gold” edt also has companion products including deodorant, aftershave balm and shower gel. Use of companion products will layer the fragrance giving it a strong, long lasting scent throughout the day. Jay Z “Gold” also has several gift sets which will be perfect for Father’s Day!
