Bond no. 9 Silver Factory
3 people recommended this item
Description
Silver Factory is of ambiguous male-female gender. The scent was conceived as a smooth, smoky, spicy blend of interlacing incense (a key scent of the ‘60s), wood resin, and syrupy, seductive amber. Slightly dissonant florals - heart of jasmine, iris, and violet, a scent that Warhol was especially fond of - combine to evoke a metallic effect—that of warmed-up, molten silver. And then, for the merest hint of coolness, a handful of cedarwood was added. Now Smell This reviewed the fragrance and notes that “it’s easily the most interesting scent from Bond no. 9 since Chinatown.” I agree! I love it too!

Description
Written in Nina’s own confident and unapologetic voice (She unabashedly declares, “I love fur!”), you can almost her her say “Impeccable!” when you read it. (Project Runway fans, you know what I mean!) Nina promises that it “is not a book of rules… I am going to help you build your style confidence, find what works for you, edit your closet, teach you what to look for, and give you a few tricks of the trade. This is a crash course on style references, insider tips, and avoiding being the fashion victim. ” The insider tips are from fashion industry notables such as Diane Von Furstenberg (on inspiration and confidence), Cameron Silver (on buying vintage), Gilles Mendel (on fur), Victoire de Castallane (on jewelry), Christian Louboutin (on shoes), Vera Wang (on weddings), and more. Nina also offers suggestions from where to draw style inspiration from, and lists fashion history cliff notes from the 1920s to the present.
What I love most about this book is that it literally is a little black book of style. It is a small book with a black hardcover and is styled to be effortlessly read. The illustrations by Ruben Toledo are amazing! They are sprinkled throughout the book and are a visual delight. You have got to see them!
The Little Black Book of Style is a fantastic little book that’s got style as well as substance. You’ll want to buy several: one for yourself and the rest to share with your girlfriends!

Bond No.9 - Chinatown w/Swarovski Crystals

Description
An artfully blended scent that had me smelling my wrist every so often. It is spicy, fruity, floral, woodsy all at the same time and balanced very well. Excellent staying power - lasted about 6 hours on my wrist. Very unique and interesting! Full-bottle worthy!

Love the silver turn lock clasp, leather black patent and silver chain strap. It looks like a Chanel reissue 2.55 but it's can stand on its own. Best of all, it's only $295!

Description
Roger Vivier’s new sunglasses evoke an icon-inspired elegance that we all wish we could exude everyday. The first frames in the collection boldly show off an oversized, Forties silhouette in red, black, white and tortoise shell, with Vivier’s signature gold buckle adorning each temple in quiet homage. Mysterious, forward, effortless and desirable all at once, what more could a girl ask for?
