Stop To Smell The Roses

The sense of smell is the most sensitive of the senses. People can remember smells with 65% accuracy after a year, while visual recall is only about 50% after three months. Which is why it’s important to keep those scent memories good ones.

SweatTheStyle_StellaMcCartney Stella McCartney’s Stella scent is a modern feminine floral combination of roses and Amber. The Stella McCartney glass rollerball bottle is convenient to pack in any gym bag and easy to apply. The key to long lasting perfume is to apply on areas of the body that have a good amount of veins and arteries under the skin. These help give warmth and projection to the fragrance. Roll on to the nape of the neck, the inside of the elbows, and the area just above the hip bones for the best results.

All Samples Cleared!

AdrianneHo_SupremeGivenchy_1#HoKnows there is nothing groundbreaking about florals for Spring. But what makes Givenchy’s version of a Birkenstock Arizona this season the perfect balance of style and substance is the levels of sampling and quality in this iteration of a classic.

SweatTheStyle_GivenchyBirkenstocks_1This Italian made pre or post workout essential, features a premium soft footbed that is therapeutic and supportive. But the more interesting tale is the print of the sandal. What started as a painting by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour entitled, “A Basket of Roses” was reproduced by designer Peter Saville for New Order’s second studio album, “Power, Corruption & Lies.” In a collaboration with Raf Simons in his 2003/4 “Closer” collection Saville graphics were featured. Almost thirty years later Supreme brilliantly re-appropriates the floral graphic for a collection of fleece, t-shirts, hats, sneakers, and skate decks. The following year we find Givenchy creating their own version of history.
