How often do you wear fragrance?
Every day. I put it on as soon as I get out of the shower. I wear it onstage, in the studio, on dates.
How many fragrances do you own?
I’m very loyal. I find one and wear it for years. I wear Heat and Heat Rush—I really do! It was important to me that they work for all occasions because I don’t like to switch up. I like to have a signature scent so that when I walk past, everyone knows it’s me. My mother always wore the same fragrance [when I was a kid] and every time I smell it, I think of her.
What perfume is that?
She wore 273. I remember it was the first thing that I wore because I used to steal it from her!
I used to steal my mom’s Liz Claiborne! Do you have any particular scent memories attached to 273?
Yes. I kind of put that fragrance together with stilettos—because I would smell it and hear her footsteps on the hardwood floor.
When you have your own perfumes, does everyone you know get them as gifts? Who have you given Heat Rush to?
All of my family. It’s funny because I don’t like to give my own CD to all of my friends—it feels a little strange. But I gave Heat and Heat Rush to all of my nieces and my extended family. A lot of them were like, ‘You better give us those fragrances! Because we don’t want to have to buy them!’
What at-home beauty treatment do you find most relaxing?
There’s a scrub by Carol’s Daughter—Ocean Sea Salt Scrub—it feels like the beach and it has the most beautiful scent. I’m always rushing, and this scrub is moisturizing, so it cuts out a step for me because I don’t have to completely cover myself with lotion.
What’s your must-have beauty product?
I love the Rosebud Salve in the blue can. [Ed note: It's Smith's!] I wear it with my lipstick. I did this trick last summer, when I was on vacation: I used it to prime my lashes before curling. It was like a natural mascara. It made the lashes hold the curl and look shiny. I use it for everything! And I love [L'Oréal] Elnett hairspray. It’s very light and holds whatever hairstyle you want.
What’s you favorite hair look from your real life—not from a movie or red carpet?
In real life, I like natural curls as opposed to ‘I just put a curling iron through my hair’—almost bedhead. Not too perfect. I love when my color grows out a little bit and the tips of my hair look sun-kissed.
What’s the best trick you’ve learned from a pro while in the makeup chair?
[Makeup artists] have a spray, it’s an after-spray. They sell it in every line, MAC has one. [Ed note: MAC Fix+] After you put your powder on—I don’t know how it does it—but it makes your skin look like skin again. It takes away the chalkiness. That always makes me look more natural—you can see my pores and the shine in my skin. I use it every day now. I won’t wear a powder if I don’t have that. I keep one in my purse!
Who are your beauty icons?
I have many. I really appreciate Audrey Hepburn, and of course, Marilyn [Monroe]. I like risk takers like Cher and Diana Ross. I like people that find what looks really good on them. I think that’s the most important tip. There are things that I love that I know won’t work for me—these women found the perfect silhouette for their bodies, the perfect cut of suits and dresses, the perfect hairstyle. Their choices made them more beautiful rather than distracting from their beauty.

Some accessories junkies look at certain handbag designs and see faces, but this exhibit by British artist Billie Achilleos takes that phenomenon to a whole new level. louis vuitton commissioned several animal sculptures from her made entirely out of louis vuitton handbags and accessories to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the louis vuitton SLG Savoir Faire collection. What Achilleos was able to do with leather goods is amazing (not to mention amazingly adorable), and we’ve got more pictures of her creatures, plus a video of the construction process, after the jump. Here at the Purse Blog, we don’t do fakes. We don’t particularly condone them, neither would we really ever get one. You’re walking the ultimate walk o’shame Michael Kors Outlet when you get caught in the act of sporting a blatantly fake purse. Not glamorous, at all!! The only place to score guaranteed authentic, 100% real and brand new louis vuitton outlet bags is at eLuxury’s exclusive LV boutique. Period. We’ve thoroughly discussed louis vuitton outlet’s plans to target more up-market customers and discourage entry-level luxury shoppers from flocking to the brand like they have in the past, and now that more and more of the brand’s Fall 2013 handbag collection is becoming available via its website, the ways that those plans will shape the brand’s leather goods going forward are coming into stark relief. Not only does Vuitton’s repositioning mean more all-leather bags, but it means the iconic monogram canvas will be used in more high-end ways. Among the first of those attempts are the louis vuitton purses Monogram Exotique Bags. Logos have really strong associations with consumers in general, and that’s particularly true for fashion consumers, who expect logos to telegraph very particular things about their very expensive purchases. When a logo becomes a bit dusty or a brand loses some of its luster, a business built on prominent logos can quickly turn into a liability. No company in fashion is as reliant on michael kors outlet the popularity of prominent logos as Vuitton, so it’s not surprising that instead of limiting its production of logo-covered goods, LV would instead try to elevate the image of those through more luxurious finishings like python and ostrich instead of the expected vachetta leather. The theory to these bags seems to be that if you surround the the monogram with the most Christian Louboutin Outlet high-end of materials, the association can elevate the entire product. Whether or not that theory will produce results michael kors outlet depends entirely on execution, and for this first round of bags, the designs feel a little bit overcooked. In most instances, there are too many competing colors, textures and materials for the design to achieve the high-end subtlety that is en vogue right now, although the bags on which the contrasting materials are rendered in burgundy fare the best. As you probably guessed, the fancy trim significantly affects the prices of the bags – they start at $5,750 via top out at nearly $8,000. Check them out below. We’ve bee
