Carnival Wax: Black Amber Perfume || NEW IN

This post is a long time coming. For the fact that it's been sitting as a draft for about a month and I've also been coveting this perfume for three years. THREE. YEARS.

This, my friends, is Black Amber. And yes, it comes in this badass pouch.

Look at it!

I literally have been wanting this perfume since I tried it at the Blush Beauty Bar three years ago when I was in Portland for Musicfest Northwest. Every time I went back I put some on and literally the next day I could still smell it on my skin. 

So I finally gave in last month and bought it. And guess what? I freaking love it.

If you like leather, cognac, amber, musk, patchouli, and anything dark and mysterious and witchy, you need this perfume.

BUY IT HERE.

NEW IN: Converse + Ten Hundred

So I bought a pair of shoes the other day. They're pretty sweet, right?

I saw Seattle Met post an article about the collaboration of local artist Ten Hundred with Converse a couple weeks ago, and I thought - hey way a minute I know that name! Ten Hundred actually designed the new logo for the music blog I write for, Back Beat Seattle. Small world.

Also come to find out that Ten Hundred is also known at P Smoov, a local musician that has been in the Seattle scene for years. The world is even smaller.

So when I had some time to kill before shooting an acoustic session in Pioneer Square, I stopped at the downtown Nordstrom to check out the Converse Pop-Up shop to see if they had any pairs of Ten Hundred's handpainted shoes left.

Turned out, they had plenty left! So I picked up a pair, not only because they're freaking rad, but also because I love supporting local artists. I'll just have to find some water repellent shoe protector spray to coat these bad boys so I can show them off with a pair of jeans.

Seriously how awesome are these?

If you like Ten Hundred's designs, you can check out his online shop for shirts and framed artwork.

NEW IN: Pomme Frites Candle Co. Teakwood & Tobacco

 

Let me first tell you - this candle smells like a sexy bearded man. No joke.

NEW IN: Thierry Mugler "Alien"

I thought about doing a perfume collection post, but decided against it in favor of a perfume collection video (which will be uploaded on Monday) and a couple key posts on here about my newest scents. The first of said posts concerns this here perfume from Thierry Mugler called Alien. How fancy is this bottle, seriously?
