Welcome sunshine! It is such a beautiful day today and I am wearing one of my favourite colour combinations at the moment: Pink and Black.
My look: Pink fine-knit wool jumpsuit, Mathilda wool-twill blazer, peep-toes in faux python with neon pink detail and matching new Grace multizip shoulder bag, all by Stella McCartney, Audrey wayfarer sunglasses by Céline and necklace by Roberto Cavalli.

Interesting choice: CHANEL has selected world renowned actor Brad Pitt to be the face of the upcoming advertising campaign for CHANEL N°5. The actor is the first male to represent the women’s fragrance. At least I cannot think of somebody else.
Chanel No. 5 was the first perfume launched by legendary French designer Coco Chanel in the early ’20s. It became associated with Marilyn Monroe after the actress famously said the fragrance was all she wore to bed.
I am pretty curious how the new campaign will look like and you?

All good things come in threes. Here is the final “Bestsmellers” post for Mother’s Day. I hope that you will find some inspiration for a little odorous surprise. Those four flankers below are lighter versions for summer, mostly related to the original fragrances.
A great gift for the warm season.
