I managed to escape all of the Gucci Guilty hype when the scent launched a couple of years back and I’m not quite sure why. Perhaps it was the ad campaigns. I’m not the “edgy” type nor am I daring…I’m more slap on some pink on it kinda gal, but the scents themselves sound interesting.
When a sample of Gucci Guilty Black landed on my desk a few months back, I relegated the black and red bottle to my perfume wardrobe and saved it for a rainy day. That day has come and I’m kicking myself for not wearing this more often!
An oriental floral (floriental??) fragrance, it has notes of red fruits, pink pepper, raspberry, violet, amber and patchouli so it starts of bright and somewhat intense. Let it run its course and by midmorning I was smitten with the lingering scent. It’s warm but not burrow your head into your scarf warm and intense but not migraine inducing.
A word to the wise: only apply one or two spritzes. Any more than that and it quickly veers into the wrong direction.

Makeup wise, Kim Kardashian can do no wrong in my eyes. She always knows how to add the drama whether it’s an intense smokey eye or wickedly bold lip. At the 61st Annual Prime Time Emmy Awards, Kim wore a white asymmetrical dress by Ina Soltani, shoes by Gucci, Swarovski clutch and Siera ring. Her makeup was done by her über talented makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic (follow him on Twitter!). I need to find out these products stat, especially that blush!
So remember last time when I introduced you to Rue La La, well I’m going to gab on about it again! I freakin’ love this site (LOL!). Maybe its all of the pink or it could be the routinely deep discounts that they offer, but I’m in L-O-V-E.
Check this out: This week they have Tory Burch, William Rast AND Theory all on sale (as well as other brands *shem*Gucci*ahem* and Waterford Crystals- which my mom ADORES!). These Tory Burch “Aiden” sandals went from $250 to $119 (there are only one more day left of this sale so hurry up!)
