Marc Jacobs Splash - Rain

When it’s hot out and the sun is beating down, don’t you wish it would just rain one of those wonderful summer rains, just a little bit, enough to cool you off? That’s part of the idea behind Marc Jacobs’ successful line of fragrance splashes. Each season, he brings three or so limited edition scents that evoke the smells of the season. This summer, he’s brought Orange, Amber, Cucumber, and my personal favorite, Rain, all of which aren’t direct evocations of the titular scent, but rather fresh, rich interpretations that smell oh-so-good! Marc Jacobs Rain is available from Sephora for $65, which is a steal when you realize that these are 10 oz bottles! They’re lighter than normal perfume, so Marc meant them to be splashed on quite liberally (and literally!). They’re the perfect antidote to all the less pleasant smells of summer, from smog to sweat, so do yourself a favor and get drenched!

Love it or Hate it: Marc by Marc Jacobs Headband

I’ll usually believe Marc Jacobs when he tells me something is cool.  I have a weakness for his clothes that combine great design with comfort.  However, I’m not sure how I feel about this headband.  Headbands in general can be ok if they’re simple and classic and adding a touch of conservativeness to a brazen outfit, but I’ve never been a fan of the bigger, louder headbands.  Despite being in a muted, neutral color, this one is definitely on the louder side.  Denim on the head?  Are we channeling Tiffany here?  Do you love it or hate it?

Prada Gaufre Clutch - New Trend Alert

The new "Day Clutch" was all the rage during the Fall runway shows. Everyone, including Prada, Marc Jacobs, and Salvatore Ferragamo showed clutches in monstrous sizes. These bigger versions of the stylish evening clutch are big enough to hold all your worldly belongings, and if your like me you need to be able to carry everything around in your purse. This Prada Gaufre Clutch is huge… and I mean huge.  It measures at 11 1/5″H x 15 1/5″W….. Could be a little hard to hold on to. Doesn’t seem to be a concern of most fashionistas’ -  Neiman Marcus took pre-orders of this Prada clutch and are no longer doing so due to the high demand.  Keep your eye open for these come Fall!
