SOTD: Le Chasse aux Papillons

Perfectly beautiful spring day means super pretty fragrance, what do I reach for L'Artisan's Le Chasse aux Papillons, something unusual is happening today with it though, instead of lemon tinted tuberose and jasmine I usually get from it, I am instead getting warm linden blossom. Linden blossom is another scent I associate with my early teen years, along with loving the scent of muguet, I had a big love for linden blossom, and remember my bottle of fragrance spray of linden blossom by Pre de Provence. 

On other news: I am really pretty disappointed in Luten's Nuit de Cellophane, just not my cup of tea, but then again money saved.

Oh how nicely it has cooled off. It feels like spring again and not summer; which by the way I don't want for awhile. My one complaint is that is overcast. Update on Sienna Musk: that was definately not for me, my skin had a reactioning of just amplifing it way to much, so much so that I got a bit of a headache from it. So I am going with the super pretty and light Le Chasse aux Papillons today.

Let the pretty begin! Everything is blooming beautifully and it makes you want to put on spring dresses, but it is still to chilly to do that, so I will content myself with the loveliness of Le Chasse aux Papillons. This is also the weather where I want to sit outside and enjoy a good book while sipping fresh mint tisane. So damned gorgeous!

So I will start with the positive of yesterday, it actually weatherwise turned out to be a gorgeous day, the weather was well just perfect. Bad news once again car issues, but now seem to be officially fixed, but definately have me considering buying a new vehicle in near future. Spent night at boyfriends so new I would need a fresh and bright fragrance so went with the epitome of fresh and bright, L'Artisan's Le chasse aux papillons. As you can see I am playing around with my blog.

SOTD: Le Chasse Aux Papillions

I adore Sundays, I adore them for neither sleeping in nor going out early to Church, but rather I love them because when I get up early for a Sunday, the quiet of the morning keeps on going into the afternoon. There is a relaxed quality to chores, I drink my cup of tea relaxed with no worry of the rest of the day's chores needing to be done soon. I can putter around thinking of what delicious meal I want to make myself.

Today I am probably wearing the girliest floral I have ever liked: L'Artisan's Le Chasse Aux Papillions, I admit I feel dorky liking this one considering for many it is the easiest to like floral out there, but then again being not the greatest floral lover in the world, this is probably perfect for me.

Yesterday, was one of those days that make you grateful to live in the Bay Area, Francisco and I went to Lake Temescal in Oakland, the temperture was perfect a cool breeze coming off the lake, and lots of sunshine to make all the greenery sparkle. Below are few images I found, behind the Beach House is a gorgeous fountain area and garden. The second area shows where we picniced which was at the other end of the lake.
