Tocca Bianca Eau de Parfum

Tocca's Eau de Parfum in Bianca (1.7 fl oz/ 50 ml, $68).

 

If you follow my very random twitter account, you may recall me raving about having lunch with my dear friend and sniffing completely up her arm after having been intrigued by a scent that was so light and delicate, with soft floral hints. I was willing to place my usual Chloe perfume down and indulge in a new treat. Tocca's Bianca is perfect. 

Fifi Awards 2011

The Fragrance foundation's FIFI Awards took place this week in New York City's Lincoln Center. An event that highlights the year's top fragrance launches and is referred to as the "Oscars" of the fragrance industry. 
Showing the highest appreciation to the best in the world of fragrance, it was an glamourous evening, with the highlight being the Fragrance celebrity of the year award renamed in honor of Elizabeth Taylor as she was inducted into the FIFI Hall of Fame. 

 There was an abundance of celebrity presence and though we wish everyone could have been winners at this years FIFI gala, there were some definite winners in fashion amongst glitterati attendees including Fergie, Halle Berry and Mary J Blige.
