Your Summer time Fragrance, Sex and the City Inspired!

So I've been seeing this scent everywhere lately, and that's no surprise at the Sex and the City 2 is coming THIS WEEK! (Some of the amazing ladies from Maddy K are attending the preview, including myself!! Yes, I'll blog about it!!!)

Sarah Jessica Parker explains the scent here:

"A large part of the inspiration was what I now understand to be people's impressions of seeing Carrie Bradshaw walk down the street and what feelings that evokes for her and for them -- a real sense of freedom and possibilities, a love for the city around her and, of course, fashion, but the most surprising aspect [of SJP NYC] is the strawberry note that looms nicely at the top of the fragrance," Parker continued. "The reason it surprises me is because I have this idea in my head that strawberry is very youthful and juvenile, but this fragrance doesn't smell candy sweet. It amazes me that this essence of strawberry mixes so beautifully with the more sophisticated floral notes and the musks that I love and will always have as part of my fragrances. In a million years I would never think, 'Let's work around strawberry.'"

It's just fabulous as a daily scent and definitely something that's great as a little gift for one of your best girlfriends or... .bridesmaids! :)

Boudoir Photography in Montreal - Andrea Hausmann Photography

It's you on a totally new level! Andrea Hausmann Photography is the ultimate in boudoir, burlesque, sexy and tantalizing photography. Everyday women are turned into sexy and strong Diva's at an Andrea Hausmann shoot.

I was inspired the first time I saw her website - I thought, wow, I want pictures just like those for me and for my boyfriend. Our friend Robyn has had pictures taken with Andrea, and they are simply breath taking!

The way their team pampers you, and treats you - it's the ultimate experience! You can go as clothed or not as you'd like - it's simply up to you. In the relaxed environment, you'll have no pressure to take it all off!
It's a little something for you, and if you want... something for your boyfriend/fiance/husband. He'll definitely remember why you two got together in the first place, we guarantee it!

"A photoshoot at the studio means letting yourself be spoiled for a few hours. You’ll have the opportunity to try on fabulous gowns, custom lingerie and drape yourself with jewels, all the while sipping bubbly and nibbling treats. The goal is to inspire you to explore and reveal a side of yourself that is not seen everyday. The experience is made complete with a custom wardrobe, make-up artist, hairstylist, and the wonderful space that is my studio. "

Reviews by real women:

"Thanks a million for making me look and feel gorgeous. Everyone agrees this has been the best pictures of me ever!" ~Mallory

"I had such a blast hanging out in your studio on the day of my shoot... all the dress up stuff, plus hair and makeup and champagne to sip... it was a very fun time. And on top of it, a set of gorgeous photos to have as a memory for all time - icing on the cake!!" ~Tracey Steer

Fashion Fridays with the Boudoir!

Here are two looks we really love! Both gowns are a bit edgy, yet soft enough to be beautiful bridal wear! What we're loving about this is the POP of colour! It's a classy and simple way to add a little colour or incorporate your theme to your dress.

Need something blue? Show it off with these GORGEOUS gloves! They are perfect for pictures after the ceremony or reception! Easily matching them blue shoes - sex and the city Manolo Blahnik's would be a PERFECT match to these wonderful gloves!

Manolo Blahnik

Speaking about Manolo Blahniks - the Maddy K team found the BEST spot for some great Manolo deals.
About 1 hour north of New York City (and around 4-5hours South of Montreal) lays a fabulous outlet mall called Woodbury Commons. (Or as we often refer to as Mecca!) This amazing place has loads of fashions a amazing prices! Coach is by far the BEST DEAL - we were picking up purses and wallets for a fraction of the CND prices! And of course - we stooped into Manolo Blahniks - it was like heaven on earth!

I highly suggest you go to Woodbury Commons, even if for a day! It's amazing!

Have a great weekend!
