i tried the tresor midnight rose ,i had a sample. not quiet a fan of it. | |
For awhile now Ive been curious as to what Wonderstruck by Tay Swift smells like and have been tempted to buy a bottle! I see its on the list here so I guess I should go try it :) | |
I like that pink dress. | |
I'm absolutely loving Kenzo's FlowerTag right now! I didn't think I would because I also thought Kenzo was a more mature brand but the scent is grown up without being too musty or mature. It's very modern and light and floral. | |

I love the dresses for the holiday and girl's night out just saying! |
