One major work goal for me this year was to get back to the reason I got into blogging in the first place – to write. In a new addition to my blog, I am delighted to include chats with some of fashion and beauty’s key figures to learn more about them, their brands, their work ethos.

YSL Beauty’s much anticipated fragrance has been a long time in the making. Master perfumers, Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaim turned a masculine scent structure into something undeniably feminine.
