A women who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.


Coco Chanel said : A woman who doesn't wear perfume has no future.

Since when I have started to study wine I do not wear perfume.
Perfume interfere with wine's scents.
And when I go out, I always taste wines.

The perfume of the perfume brand is popular recently.
In these days I often hear the name of the London's perfume brand, JO MALONE.

JO MALONE



The price was more affordable than in Japan, I wanted to buy JO MALONE's perfume when I was in London. 
The store in heathrow airport was TAX Free, 
But I had transit, so I could not purchase the bottle larger than 100ml.
There were tremendous kind of perfumes so I could not choose easily. The products and store are classy and elegant.
I want to make my home's wash room like the store.

My scent is blackberry & bay.
Fresh and little bit sweet scent.
I want to be a woman who has future so I will wear the JO MALONE perfume every day except a day attending wine party.


Bond №9 Roger & Gallet


Fashion bland perfumes (like CHLOE,CHANEL,GUCCI and so on) are attractive, But I am fascinated by perfume blands like Bond №9 in New york and Roger & Gallet in Paris.

I want to go the store and find my scent.

BLACK OR WHITE

I am wavering in between buying white bag or buying black bag.

White bag is classy and perfect for summer.
But I am messy person so I should get it dirty.

Classy white bags







 Black bag is very versatile and perfect for all season.

Cool black bags



Black bag goes well with cool coordinate. 
And not get dirty easily. 
 I think white bag goes well with classy casual but does not match dresses.
Black bags are better for dress up style.

I tend to gravitate towards combi colored bag. It goes well with casual style and add some points to the style, but sometimes it doesn't fit some outfit.

left:DIMONI center:Milly right:MODALU

DIMONI is spanish bag bland.
It is made with raffia so good for summer.

Milly's dress are sweet but this bag is cool.  It can tighten sweet style.
Problem is it is little bit heavy.

MODALU is LONDON's bland.
Milly and MODALU are alike so I worried when I buy it.
But MODALU is shoulder bag so it is very useful and it is lighter than Milly.

Which combi bag do you like?
And do you recommend white bag or black bag?

Thank you for reading and have a great monday!

My car and my dream car.

Gas price rises day by day.

My car is gas guzzler. So maintenance fee is exceptional.
Japanese cars are popular because of good fuel consumption.
But, I like elegant European car.
I was thinking of buying a previous version Jaguar XJR.


Jaguar XJR



Since Jaguar changed its styling, I wanted to own the distinctive elegant car before disappear from the market. 

But my husband chose Mercedes.
The size  is as same as Jaguar, but Mercedes is too popular in Japan.
We do not like things too popular.

But, he seemed to like the engine in the car.
The car was equipped with AMG V8 engine.

AMG S55L


Frankly speaking, I like luxury car, but I am not interested in powerful engine.
The big engine should be cause of bad mileage.

The suspension equipped  to realize comfortable ride broke down and we paid a lot of repair fee.
The larger the engine, the higher tax we have to pay.

But  now, I feel like the car is our bad son.



And I like the elegant beige seats.



Maserati Ghibli


My husband dreams of buying Maserati.
His dream is my dream.
And I am not appreciate sports car so when porsche's panamera had released,  I craved it very much.
But when  I saw the original, I changed my mind.
I thought that tail design was too big and not elegant.
So I changed my mind and now, My dream car is Maserati.

What is your dream car? 
Thank you for reading! Have a nice weekend!

Aromatherapy:Ultrasonic Aroma Diffusers from MUJI

Hi, Happy tuesday!  Today, I would like to share about my recently concern.

Aromatherapy

 I bought  to  Ultrasonic Aroma Diffusers from MUJI to
 make my house filled with scents .


 Ultrasonic Aroma Diffusers from MUJI

I tried many products to cover the bad smell.
My kitchen is contiguous with the living room so smell of foods remain after dinner time in the living room.
Of course it can not remove all of them, but the scent is not cloying.

Aroma oil of a lavender and the sweet orange were set with the diffuser. I liked them very much but I bought Eucalyptus and lemon oils.

Eucalyptus and lemon


I went to MUJI to purchase new essential oil.
You can use other maker's essential oil for MUJI's diffuser, but I think MUJI's oils are reasonable.
I was very happy to find limited oil set of Eucalyptus and Lemon because I could get two oils for one oil's price.

I bought them because I heard that Eucalyptus scent is insect repellent and cockroach hates scent of lemon and lavender.
I mix these oils. 
I do not know the effect yet.
I hope that I will not come across bugs in this summer.

Valentino beach sandale

Post about shoes again! 




My husband bought me Valentino's beach sandals.
usually don't  spend much money on a beach sandals.
Frankly speaking,  it was discounted 80%!

My husband also like shoes so when we find luxury shoes were discounted, he encourage me to buy it.
I think some of men do not have understanding of  luxury goods.


Since this sandal is very chic, I want to pair it with black swimwear.

I am craving for the right black swimwear from  ZIMMERMANN.



Not only pairing with swimwear, the sandals goes well with relaxing outfit.

Even though I am high heel lover, I also love flat shoes' relaxing mood.
But when I wear flats, I wish my legs were more slim and long :)

Here is typical Kobe night view.
Streetlight and tranquil waters of a sea was very beautiful.

Kobe is a mid-sized city surrounded by sea and mountains.
Old western style buildings are remained and there are many fine restaurant and good boutique in this city.
