A quest for a Spring perfume: Salvatore Ferragamo 'Signorina'

We had daylight saving last night, so for me historically that trivial event marks the begging of spring.

I don't know about you, but I love Ms. Melania Trump's choice for the President-elect victory acceptance speech. It had it all. The symbolic suffrage white, the modern vibe,  the clean and fresh feel: unadorned whole that simply screamed sophisticated 21st century woman..

Falling into Fall! Ok I don't mean that literally -- but it is that time of the year when going for a jog, a long walk, or taking up a trail in the Santa Monica Mountains is the thing to do.

Stay healthy and happy my Friends!

XOXO, Mimi

P.S. And if you are on the market for great sneakers, just point your mouse on the pair above and it will take you directly to the retailer.
