Fall Freebies
It’s finally feeling like fall around here, and I was lucky enough to receive two freebies for the season in the past few weeks. I’ve always been a fan of violet perfumes, and my mom recently ran across one of favorite scents, Violetta di Parma. She picked it up for me on one of her perfume hunts and the bottle came with an atomizer! I’ve never used one before, and it’s definitely an elegant way to apply my perfume each morning. Perfume lovers hold strong opinions when it comes to violet scents, but I’ve always loved this soft and powdery fragrance. I found a bottle years ago at Anthropologie in San Francisco, but haven’t seen it since, so I was thrilled when my mom surprised me.

(My new Gräf & Lantz clutch from Grechen’s Closet.)
And Grechen recently held a giveaway for a Gräf & Lantz clutch, and I was the winner! It’s a really lovely clutch and tech case, and I’m planning to use it this fall and winter as a catch-all within my tote bag.
I’m still hoping to get a few things for fall, though I’m waiting for even cooler weather. Are you stocking up on anything this month?

You are so glamorous. I love that about you! I am not stocking up but hunting for the perfect nude lip color for fall days and the perfect muted berry lipstain for night, new running clothes that are acceptable to wear to preschool drop off, and chicken stock. Really.
Ha, that’s totally stocking up. It’s about finding things that fit your needs. 🙂
That clutch has such a beautiful colour scheme! We’re stocking up on boring practical things like snowblowers. 😉
Your fall and winter are no joke!
You girls are so funny!! And, we all know what Mama (with an accent) is stocking up on…along with the organic beef stock!
And, didn’t I just buy the above commenter a perfect nude lip color the last time we were together? Talk about needs..
Ha ha, you are terrible!
Um, NO, you did not buy this daughter the perfect nude lip color. Or any lip color. You must have confused our grocery shopping trip with your FUN shopping trip with your third daughter. 😉
Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle is a really great nude shade. I was never a fan of nudes until I tried it with a little pink gloss on top.
Oooh, I’ve never had a perfume atomizer before. I thought about getting this mini atomizer from Sephora a while back, but it was very basic, no fancy bulb or anything. Pretty!
Yes, it’s not the kind of thing I would buy for myself, but it’s fun to use!
