CC’s cocktail fascination often expands to her scent collections thanks to Demeter Fragrances. As the temperature drops, it’s time to leave the summer cocktails behind for a fall classic: White Russian. A soft and sensual combination of coffee liquor, cream and vodka, Demeter’s White Russian is a balanced approach to the bitterness of the coffee scent, the sweetness of the liquor, and the richness of the cream.

CC has never been a fan of the pink eye shadow, which until now, was reminiscent of a “too-cute pre-teen”. Endlessly gaining inspiration through Pinterest, the above image stood out: a pink eye shadow popping off the models crystal eyes. How could CC bring this look to life without looking like a tween dabbling in her mother’s make-up for the first time…

Cue MAC Purple Shower, which gives the right shade of a pink-purple without being overwhelming. Typically, CC steers clear of MAC (besides their lipstick), but finding it at just the right price and you have CC sold! Apprehensive about only paying $10 instead of the usual $15 for fear that it is not authentic MAC products? CC took the risk just for you!

Men have football and women have shopping, which has quickly become one of our favorite pass-times to compete in. No matter the day, where we are, or whom we are with, the thrill from shopping causes our Choos to twitch and our tummies to rumble; it’s time to consume…fashion.

We make no apologies to our boyfriends, whom we drag along, treating as clothing racks. If we have to miss The Bachelor to watch Monday Night Football, just this once you can carry our suitcase-like totes. As if the thrill itself wasn’t enough, here are ’10 Reasons To Shop’ (as inspired by Glamour’s September issue).

{10 Reasons To Shop}

.one. You got dumped and are now forced to compete (again) in the New York dating scene: The dating scene is more competitive than ever, which means you have to bust out the big guns [the frozen 'in case of emergency' credit card] when it comes time to impress!

.two. You got a new job (and a hot new boss): Remember there is a fine line between business casual and Monica Lewinsky.

.three. You’re on your period and chocolate will only make you fatter: It’s scientifically proven that when women are on their period they seek fulfillment; often this fulfillment comes in the form of sex, chocolate, or even shopping.

.four. You’re helping the economy. Really, it’s your civic duty: Morally, it’s the right thing to do.

.five. How else will you build your credit…daily?!: That penthouse apartment on the Upper East Side isn’t co-signer friendly.

.six. It’s good exercise: Use your gym time wisely…to gaze hopelessly at the male trainers.

.seven. Your summer bonus won’t spend itself!: That is, unless your bills are set to auto-pay.

.eight. Speaking of summer, Summer Fridays were meant to be used (for shopping): A new concept to this LA native, Summer Fridays appear to have been invented by New Yorkers eager to shop before their Hamptons’ weekends.

.nine. Your statement pieces no longer make a statement: You can only wear that ONE LBD for so long.

.ten. WWCD: What Would Choupette Do?: Chances are, the fuzzy fashion feline would encourage your unhealthy shopping tendencies, especially if Daddy were paying for it!

For as long as CC can remember, she’s eyed the H&M European Home section with green envy. Today, WWD announced the H&M Home launch in the US market beginning early ’13, where the [until-now] fashion company will offer linens, decorative storage, and accessories. From dorm room decor to budget-friend first apartment shopping, H&M will now offer Americans “the same dose of cheap chic as their wardrobes.”

According to WWD, “The collection made its debut in Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria in 2009, and the U.K. the following year. Applying its fast-fashion doctrine to home products, H&M produces three main collections each season and introduces a large number of accessories and furnishings every two weeks.”

No need to start saving, come 2013 you can have a fully decorated home UNDER budget!

As you know, CC has an unhealthy obsession with Demeter Fragrances so why not combine that obsession with my love of cocktails?

. . .

{Between the Sheets}

 An exotic and alluring blend of mango, guava, passion fruit, orange liquor, lemon juice and rum, irresistible to anyone who experiences it.

{Gin & Tonic}

End of the day slight intoxication: strong, sweet with a sweet-deep juniper finish and citrus twist. A light, crisp fragrance that is right just about any time and anywhere.

{Malaga Cooler}

A very pleasant balance of sweet wine and the tangy citrus of the lime juice.

 . . .

 Spritz, shake, & stir up some fun with these cocktail-inspired summer scents!
