PINROSE
Monday, October 13, 2014
PINROSE is a perfume service that subscribes to the try-before-you-buy model. Potential purchasers take a personality test where based upon one's answers and an algorithm, they are matched up with and shipped a few samples that are hopefully to their liking.
The founders, two FEMALE Stanford grads, concoct these fragrances themselves. Pretty impressive, eh? Currently, PINROSE has 10 scents available for purchase, at $50 a bottle--a price that doesn't break the bank!
After working my way through their 'petal pack' (includes all 10 scents), I have discovered my new "go-to"; Merry Maker. Find yours NOW!
BONUS: no phthalates - no parabens.
Find out more about these intoxicating scents after the jump!
But First…Let Me Take a #shoefie

So here it goes...
- Aim the camera straight down (standing)— the edge of the frame should land somewhere on the thighs, fairly close to your hips. This angle makes your legs look appear longer than they actually are.
- Find your light— keep the sun or other light source in front of you.
- Set the scene — consider the backdrop of your picture.
- Face your phone's camera away from you — takes higher-resolution photos. We don't want blurry #shoefies, now do we?
- Experiment with filters — depending on the look and feel you are going for.
- Grab a friend to be in the photo — it'll be visually interesting and fun for other people to look at and share.
There ya go! Now don't you feel profoundly wiser after reading this post?!

“What I found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany's. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it;nothing very bad could happen to you there. ” -Breakfast at Tiffany's

Last week, I had the opportunity to host a Fall fashion event for Maison Scotch, an Amsterdam-based street style clothing company. The team at the Grant St. location was beyond hospitable, not to mention impeccably dressed.
Thank you to all of my friends who stopped by and for the new faces I had the pleasure of meeting. It was a wildly successful night and I had a beyond amazing time!
