Boyfriend in a Bottle

Do you ever miss the warm, musky scent of your boyfriend (or manfriend, for that matter) on your skin? Well, actress Kate Walsh's men's-inspired Boyfriend line for women has captured just that.

Filled with a seductive yet sweet balance of golden amber and vanilla woods scents, the Boyfriend line of fragrance, pulse point oil, body cream, and candles remains elegantly feminine despite its masculine edge. Best of all, the fragrance lingers on the skin, evoking memories of inhaling his shirt and waking up in a bed that still has his musky man scent. And seriously, what girl wouldn't want to be reminded of that smell all day long?

Maybe this scent isn't for everybody, but if it's up your alley, you can get the perfume/cologne in-store or online at Sephora for $65. Already tried it and fallen in love? (Of course you did!) Get the Boyfriend kit, complete with mini versions of the perfume, pulse point oil, body cream, and votive, exclusively at Sephora for $95.

"Freak" Fragrance from Illamasqua

In the spirit of all things kooky, spooky, and going bump in the night, we currently have our eyes on a fragrance that is sure to become the signature scent of this and all future Halloweens. Known for their typically gothic aesthetic, British cosmetics brand Illamasqua has launched Freak as their debut perfume and, we have to say, the elixir is quite potent and perfectly wicked for the season. Captured in a sleek, black art deco bottle (and accessorized with a silver snail, too), the fragrance contains exotic base notes like Poison Hemlock and Black Davana. The essence of the fragrance captures all things exquisite, mysterious, and freakishly beautiful.

Watch the freak-tastic video for the fragrance here, and get an exclusive, in-depth explanation of the inspiration behind the scent. Also, check out the Illamasqua's tips for some seriously dramatic Halloween makeup!

Diane Von Furstenberg Flash Mobs

If you happened to be taking a stroll along the Seine last Wednesday, you may have been lucky enough to experience a group of 100 women swathed in the iconic DVF wrap dress, dancing to Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman.” Don’t believe us? What if we told you that Diane Von Furstenberg was there herself, dancing among the women? Perhaps mentioning that the impromptu dance party was to promote Diane Von Furstenberg’s latest perfume launch will help clarify any doubts. After the dancing died down, the designer signed autographs at the Sephora flagship store on the Champs-Elysées.

The Parisian flash mob fête is one of several to come — with more scheduled for Lisbon, Madrid, Warsaw, and Milan. So, if you happen to find yourself suddenly surrounded by throngs of dancing DVF-clad women in one of these cities, why not join in? You can practice your moves here.

Who Knew Kristen Dunst is The New Face of Bvlgari?

You may have noticed Kristina Bravo blogged about Kirsten Dunst is starring in an upcoming film, Melancholia, but what she didn't mention was Dunst's new role as the face of Bvlgari's Summer 2011 Sunglasses Collection as well as the jewelry designer's new fragrance Mon Jasmin Noir. Of course she is also modeling the brand's latest jewelry collection, as well.

If you don't recall, I wrote about Julianne Moore modeling with lion cubs a few months back. During that time, cubs were a huge hit all over every magazine in ads and photo spreads. Now, we are seeing full grown animals on the pages, such as in the current Bvlgari ad campaign. At first, the brand was showing Dunst in sunglasses, and I personally did not know who the model was. In each issue, I would see this woman with odd lips and wonder what the significance was. In the May issues, they have finally revealed who she is: Kirsten Dunst. Wow, this was not expected at all. The actress has been nowhere to be scene in recent years. She was considered highly fashionable about six or seven years ago. She was the face of Miu Miu in the Spring 2008 Collection, then disappeared from the spotlight for a long period of time. Now, she is back shining directly in the fashion world through Bvlgari. Does this brilliant Little Women, Marie Antoinette and Spiderman star know how to make a comeback or what?
