SJP Launches SATC Fragrance

Feb 22, 2010 @ 3:00 pm

Sarah Jessica Parker launched her sixth fragrance, the Sex and the City-inspired SJP NYC. “We live in New York, which is a fragrant city, and some of the smells are good, while others are very bad. So we tried to capture the good,” Parker told StyleList.com. The result? A sweet scent with notes of Italian mandarin, strawberries and honeysuckle. SJP NYC’s breezy ad, which features Parker in a floral Oscar de la Renta dress, also embodies her inspiration. “I wanted to capture a freeze frame in Carrie’s life. A snapshot of her walking down her favorite street in the spring, in a floral dress,” she said. SJP NYC is now available at macys.com.

Feb 22, 2010 @ 11:00 am

At the Oscars this year, the Best Actress winner will not only receive a covetable golden statue, she’ll also take home this custom mirror compact from L’Oreal Paris and Carelle. The one-of-a-kind accessory is studded with pave diamonds and amethyst rose de France stones, which are believed to have stress-reducing properties. Valued at $7,000, the compact’s stones are set in 18kt rose-gold-plated silver, and will be presented to one of the following nominees: Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan or Gabourey Sidibe. Sure, an Oscar is an actor’s finest achievement—but diamonds are still a girl’s best friend.
