										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s that time again. 2017 is just around the corner and with it an opportunity for new beginnings, or at least, a mindset of fresh opportunities.&nbsp; Many of you may be disheartened with failed resolutions in the past, so we at DelectablyChic! have made it easy for you.&nbsp; We’ve put together a list of 5 easy-to-start resolutions with tips.&nbsp; We’ve chosen areas that are both important and ones that we feel our readers would find most useful.</p>
<p><strong>New York’s Resolution #1:&nbsp; Meet New People</strong></p>
<p>It’s so easy to get bogged down in your busy life between work, family and friends, but we feel personal growth is very important to happiness and one of the best ways to grow is to interact with new people.&nbsp; And, if you are single, this one is even more important.&nbsp; Tip to Start:&nbsp; Check out <a href="https://www.eventbrite.ca/">Eventbrite</a> or the local gym and register for an event or class, anything that interests you. Try to register before January 15<sup>th</sup>!</p>
<p><strong>New York’s Resolution #2:&nbsp; Read More</strong></p>

<p>In this age of video, digital and social media, reading almost seems obsolete.&nbsp; However, it’s proven that the most successful people make it a point to read. Whether it is a self-help book or a classic, we recommend getting a book that is not more than 200 words and committing to reading 20 pages a day every night for 10 nights.&nbsp; We recommend The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (163 pages) or A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf (148 pages). The latter has an estimated read time of just 123 minutes!</p>
<p><strong>New York’s Resolution #3:&nbsp; Learn to Cook</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p>It’s a real shame that most schools and families don’t teach cooking and cleaning as they are universal must-knows for all men and women, especially millennials.&nbsp; Even if your office has you having three star restaurant lunches and dinners with clients, basic cooking is a must have.&nbsp; Make it a point to learn one new dish each month of 2017 and begin in January with something super simple (even if it isn&#8217;t a new item) like quinoa.&nbsp; It is quick to make and this recipe for Quinoa Grecian Salad can be made to last for a week worth of lunches!&nbsp; Recipe: Place quinoa in a large bowl, cover with water and let stand 5 minutes before draining. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Uncover, fluff with a fork. While the quinoa is cooling, combine oil, and hints of fresh mint, lemon rind, lemon juice, sherry vinegar and sea salt. Add this to the cooled quinoa, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, radishes, cucumber and olives.&nbsp; Enjoy!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" data-attachment-id="25801" data-permalink="https://www.delectablychic.com/top-5-recommended-new-years-resolutions/freekeh/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Freekeh.jpeg?fit=540%2C368&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="540,368" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 7 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1482916780&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0083333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}" data-image-title="Freekeh" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Freekeh.jpeg?fit=300%2C204&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Freekeh.jpeg?fit=540%2C368&amp;ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25801" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Freekeh.jpeg?resize=540%2C368" alt="" width="540" height="368" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Freekeh.jpeg?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Freekeh.jpeg?resize=150%2C102&amp;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Freekeh.jpeg?resize=300%2C204&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Freekeh.jpeg?resize=65%2C45&amp;ssl=1 65w" sizes="(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>Another Tip:&nbsp; Use rainbow quinoa for variety.&nbsp; Or freekeh (above), another &#8220;supergrain&#8221; made from green durhum wheat (which means it isn&#8217;t gluten-free).&nbsp; Regular freekeh takes much longer to cook &#8211; about 40 minutes, but cracked freekeh cooks in half the time.&nbsp; Find it in the same aisle as all your other grains.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>New York’s Resolution #4:&nbsp; Spend Less Time on Social Media</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img decoding="async" data-attachment-id="25799" data-permalink="https://www.delectablychic.com/top-5-recommended-new-years-resolutions/no-social-media/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/no-social-media.jpg?fit=540%2C360&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="540,360" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}" data-image-title="no social media" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/no-social-media.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/no-social-media.jpg?fit=540%2C360&amp;ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25799" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/no-social-media.jpg?resize=540%2C360" alt="" width="540" height="360" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/no-social-media.jpg?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/no-social-media.jpg?resize=150%2C100&amp;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/no-social-media.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>The concept of Snapchat is that your “stories” ie postings get deleted after 24 or so hours.&nbsp; All the time you spend filming, adding filters and giggling, ends up evaporating.&nbsp; While Facebook, Twitter and Instagram stick around, possibly much of the posts (pictures of quinoa lunch anyone?) probably should disappear. Instead of complementing your entire day with social media, why not try instead to budget your social media time. For example, limit to three times a day (1 hour morning, afternoon and evening) that you post or troll.</p>
<p><strong>New York’s Resolution #5:&nbsp; Do Something Different</strong></p>
<p>We began this post with the suggestion to meet new people. Even more than that, it is important that you, our beloved DelectablyChic! readers do something fresh in your lives.&nbsp; Do different is a term that is often advised when someone is heartbroken or in a rut and needs to immediately take a U-turn or different path.&nbsp; We recommend not waiting for those down in the dumps scenarios, and to actively seek fresh opportunities. Whether that is take a different path to work, vacation at a different time this year or simply to take up a hobby that you may not think you might be interested in – such as knitting – just try something out of the ordinary and out of your orbit. You might find it brings good luck and new joy into your life.</p>
<p>We wish all our readers a fabulous 2017!</p>

<p><a href="ca.shop.ecco.com/Officia">Ecco</a>’s Crossbody bag is one of the It bags this season.&nbsp; With its retro-inspired look and distinctive hardware detailing, it’s intelligently designed to contain your work documents, or if you remove the shoulder strap, it changes to an evening stylish design.</p>
<p><strong>Best Bath Product to Gift Yourself:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="25744" data-permalink="https://www.delectablychic.com/holiday-gift-guide-2016-part-iv-best-selfies-gifts-to-self/calgon-body-wash/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Calgon-Body-Wash.jpg?fit=130%2C300&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="130,300" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}" data-image-title="Calgon Body Wash" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Calgon-Body-Wash.jpg?fit=130%2C300&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Calgon-Body-Wash.jpg?fit=130%2C300&amp;ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25744" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Calgon-Body-Wash.jpg?resize=130%2C300" alt="" width="130" height="300" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Calgon-Body-Wash.jpg?w=130&amp;ssl=1 130w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Calgon-Body-Wash.jpg?resize=65%2C150&amp;ssl=1 65w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 130px) 100vw, 130px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>We have discovered <a href="Calgon%20Hawaiian%20Ginger%20Shea%20Sugar%20Scrub">Calgon Hawaiian Ginger Shea Sugar Scrub</a> (above) Daily Wash and <a href="https://www.loblaws.ca/Home-%26-Lifestyle/Personal-Care/Bath-%26-Body/Deodorant-%26-Antiperspirant/Hawaiian-Ginger-Body-Mist/p/20092528_EA">Fragrance Body Mist</a>. These products have great scent and feel fabulous on the skin.</p>
<p>For something a bit more girlie, we like <a href="http://bodyfantasies.pdcbrandsusa.com/body-fantasies/view-all/body-fantasies-signature-twilight-mist-8oz-fragrance-body-spray">Body Fantasies body sprays</a> in Japanese Cherry Blossom, Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy and Twilight Mist.</p>
<p>If you want something more luxurious, we cannot rave enough about <a href="http://www.moroccanoil.com/ca_en/body-care-shower-milk-fragrance-originale-ca">Moroccanoil Body Shower Milk</a> which we tried in original scent as well as in Fleur de Rose.&nbsp; While both were decadent, we preferred the alluring original scent best.</p>

<p>We recommend <a href="http://www.simonandschuster.ca/books/The-Diabolic/S-J-Kincaid/9781481472678"><em>The Diabolic</em></a>&nbsp;by SJ Kincaid. Although it’s a teen read, it’s similar to Divergent and Twilight and so is appealing to women of all ages. If you prefer something more heart-warming, we recommend <a href="http://www.simonandschuster.ca/books/The-Swan-Riders/Erin-Bow/9781481442749"><em>The Swan Riders</em></a> (above) by Erin Bow.&nbsp; A follow up to&nbsp;<em>The Scorpion Rules</em>, winner of the 2016 Monica Hughes Award for Science Fiction and Fantasy, <em>Swan Riders</em>&nbsp;explores the “complicated nature of love, family, peace, war, technology, and most importantly&nbsp;what it means to be human.” Both these books are racing off the shelves and hot sellers this season.</p>
<p>That’s our Holiday Gift Guide 2016.&nbsp; From all of us at DelectablyChic!, we wish you a wonderful holiday season. Happy shopping!</p>

The soaps are vegetable-based with a scent&nbsp;customized to&nbsp;the personal traits of the particular sign.&nbsp; Although the sugar-scented Virgo was a favourite of ours at DelectablyChic!, the entire collection is premium quality and beautifully packaged.</p>

Pair with a <a href="https://www.maybelline.ca/en-ca/lip-makeup/lip-gloss/lip-studio-shine-shot-lip-topcoat?gclid=CPDBzuuLytACFRBYDQodUGQNKA/prismatic-lip-topcoat">Maybelline Shine Shot</a> prismatic lip topcoat for a glittery prism effect. &nbsp;If you would rather gift a lipstick, we like the Violet Vixen shade best.</p>

<p>We at DelectablyChic! are in love with<strong>&nbsp;</strong><a href="http://www.moroccanoil.com/ca_en/body-care-shower-milk-fragrance-originale-ca">Moroccanoil Body Shower Milk</a>. Although it comes in Fleur de Rose and Fleur d’Oranger scents, we much prefer the classical original scent.&nbsp; The magic of Moroccanoil is in its signature ingredient argan oil which both hydrates and cleanses.</p>
<p><strong>LIPSMACKERS</strong></p>
<p>Disney has come up with the cutest Winnie The Pooh Lip Smacker lip balm in the shape of a Winnie jumbo headed honey pot!&nbsp; Mega Lip Smacker is another stylish tower that fits perfectly in a stocking and comes in the delicious watermelon flavor.&nbsp; These are perfect stocking stuffers for kids.</p>
<p>Alternatively, Hello Kitty has launched Softlips stackable lip moisturizer cubes. We tried “cupcake” flavor.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai, UAE, has a special ladies floor for women who are traveling on their own.&nbsp; Launched in association with luxury brand Chopard, there are just 10 tower rooms and one Apex Suite, all located on the 40<sup>th</sup> floor with stunning views.</p>

<p>The idea was a response to industry reports have shown that the number of female executives travelling alone has increased considerably and more specifically, the average spending by women travellers on an annual basis is steeply rising.&nbsp; Not only are women traveling more on their own and spending more, they have increased expectations when it comes to quality service. Jumeirah Group partnered with Chopard&nbsp; and the rooms feature amenities by Chopard exclusively including turn down fragrances such as Casmir, Casran and Infiniment Chopard.</p>

<p>DelectablyChic! decided to check it out and expectations were exceeded. The rooms are simply stunning. A deep pink-based maroon and white colour combo, the rooms are opulent and elegant. It is as a magic wand was used and the rooms were designed not just for pampering but very thoughtfully, understanding a specific woman’s needs. For example, the mirrors in the main room are full length throughout one wall, while there isn’t a full length mirror in all of the other rooms, even some of the premium rooms. Each Chopard room includes a cosmetic mirror, a cosmetics fridge, original flower arrangements, luxury bath products, comfortable bathrobe, in-room yoga facilities, as well as a very special scent.</p>
<p>Catered to and serviced by an all-female staff, the wing gives both privacy and luxury to its guests.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Toronto women love to travel. Whether for work or for vacation, we enjoy seeing new places.  With Silicon Valley a hotbed of cutting edge technology and progress, as well as beautiful weather, Northern California makes for one of the favourite destination spots.  While NAPA Valley is much lauded for honeymoons and retreats, main San Francisco itself is full of some hidden gems that we are highlighting here, just for you.</p>
<p><strong>Secret Tiled Staircase</strong></p>

<p>There is an artsy hidden staircase on 16<sup>th</sup> Avenue that leads to some of the best views of San Francisco.   163 steps of mosaic tiles, this colorful staircase in the Sunset district of San Francisco has stunning views of the city, as well as a garden design. The site is actually a waypoint on San Francisco&#8217;s famous butterfly-bolstering Green Hairstreak Corridor. Completed in 2005, the landmark was made by artists Collette Crutcher and Eileen Barr with the help of many neighborhood volunteers. The project was inspired by the Selarón staircase in Rio de Janeiro.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.slanteddoor.com/food">Slanted Door</a> restaurant in San Francisco is known for decadent, Asian fusion cuisine, but one hidden gem there is most definitely their Confection plate or essentially their Cotton Candy gourmet dessert.  We tried the Strawberry Lemonade Cotton Candy dessert and it was truly the piece de resistance to what was a fantastic dining experience.  The size makes for a dramatic and impressive presentation, but is a very easy dessert for 2-3 people to share and a happy note on which to end a meal.</p>

<p>Hidden in the Mission District of San Francisco is <a href="https://web.facebook.com/biritecreamery">BiRite Ice Creamery</a>, that you really can only spot for the long lines around the block!  One taste of the iconic salted caramel homemade ice cream and it’s no wonder people say it’s “worth the wait and the extra weight!” The service is impeccable and there are plenty of flavor options, although we most recommend the addictive salted caramel.  Sold by the scoop, the ice cream can also be bought by the pint, and groups of 4-5 college students were spotted sharing a pint old school style.  If you don’t want to wait, the Ice Creamery offers a quick soft serve window, but the really divine stuff requires lining up!</p>

<p>If you are planning a beach or hot weather honeymoon, sun protection is a must.  We are in love with <a href="http://www.shiseido.com/ultimate-sun-protection-lotion-spf-50-wetforce/0730852114845,en_US,pd.html">Shiseido 50+ Ultra Sun Protection Lotion WetForce</a>. This product uses SperVeil-UV 360  and WetForce technology to become even more effective after being exposed to water for 15 minutes or sweat for 30 minutes.  As an added bonus, this lotion helps prevent skin dryness, and yet is very comfortable on the skin.  Just remember to reapply after tower-drying.</p>

<p>Impressive your guests with the decadent <a href="https://www.yardleylondon.co.uk/english-lavender-luxury-soaps.html">Yardley London Luxury Soap</a>.  We tried these soaps out in English Rose, Lily of the Valley and Lavender, and fell in love with all three.  Each contains moisturising shea butter are are triple milled to enhance lather, and then delicately scented.</p>

<p><strong>Your At Home Scent:</strong></p>
<p>Perfumeries talk a lot about identifying your personal scent.  For millennials in particular, who believe in experiences more than clinging to one signature scents, there are ideal perfumes for you to wear for different occasions, such as a formal affair versus entertaining at home or candlelight dinner for two.</p>

<p>For at home entertaining, we highly recommend <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/aerin-beauty-mediterranean-honeysuckle-eau-de-parfum/4253119">Aerin Mediterrannean Honeysuckle eau de parfum</a>. Feminine, while effortlessly sensual, this scent enhances your attractiveness and will subtly charm your guests.  The notes of this scent include sweet Honeysuckle, Sparkling Grapefruit, Italian Bergamot, Mandarin Oil, Lily Of The Valley, Gardenia, and Jasmine Sambac Absolute.</p>
<p>For something a little stronger, try <a href="https://www.esteelauder.com/product/9781/35526/Product-Catalog/Fragrance/For-Women/Bronze-Goddess/Bronze-Goddess/Eau-Frache-Skinscent">Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess perfume</a>.  Elegant, sexy and warm, this scent is a blend of Bergamot, warm Amber, Tiare Flower and Vanilla, combined with delicious creamy Coconut.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>DelectablyChic!</em> is back with its highly anticipated Bridal Gift Guide Series by T. U. Dawood.  We continue with Part III:  Bridal Perfume.  So many articles have been written about bridal make-up and hair but there is very little information on how to select the perfect perfume to wear on your wedding day.  We at <em>DelectablyChic!</em> have discovered some gems.</p>
<p><strong>FEMININE SCENT</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="25384" data-permalink="https://www.delectablychic.com/bridal-gift-guide-2016-part-3-perfumes-for-the-bride/aerin-mediterrean-honeysuckle/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Aerin-Mediterrean-Honeysuckle.png?fit=540%2C414&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="540,414" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="Aerin Mediterrean Honeysuckle" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Aerin-Mediterrean-Honeysuckle.png?fit=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Aerin-Mediterrean-Honeysuckle.png?fit=540%2C414&amp;ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25384" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Aerin-Mediterrean-Honeysuckle.png?resize=540%2C414" alt="Aerin Mediterrean Honeysuckle" width="540" height="414" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Aerin-Mediterrean-Honeysuckle.png?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Aerin-Mediterrean-Honeysuckle.png?resize=150%2C115&amp;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Aerin-Mediterrean-Honeysuckle.png?resize=300%2C230&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>Weddings are just made for flowers and celebrating your femininity.  One of the most feminine scents we discovered was <strong><a href="http://www.sephora.com/mediterranean-honeysuckle-P405269">Aerin Mediterrannean Honeysuckle Eau de Parfum</a>.  </strong>Sweet honeysuckle and sparkling grapefruit combine for a burst of warm floral combined with a citrusy Italian bergamot and mandarin oil, imparting a lingering scent.  Notes of Lily of the valley and lush gardenia come next, enhancing the sensuality, until a rich Jasmine Sambac Absolute tops up the magic of this scent.</p>
<p><strong>SEXY SCENT:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="25385" data-permalink="https://www.delectablychic.com/bridal-gift-guide-2016-part-3-perfumes-for-the-bride/estee-lauder-bronze-goddess/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Estee-Lauder-Bronze-Goddess.png?fit=540%2C398&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="540,398" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Estee-Lauder-Bronze-Goddess.png?fit=300%2C221&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Estee-Lauder-Bronze-Goddess.png?fit=540%2C398&amp;ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25385" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Estee-Lauder-Bronze-Goddess.png?resize=540%2C398" alt="Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess" width="540" height="398" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Estee-Lauder-Bronze-Goddess.png?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Estee-Lauder-Bronze-Goddess.png?resize=150%2C111&amp;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Estee-Lauder-Bronze-Goddess.png?resize=300%2C221&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>The sexiest scent we discovered was <strong><a href="http://www.esteelauder.com/product/9781/35526/Product-Catalog/Fragrance/For-Women/Bronze-Goddess/Bronze-Goddess/Eau-Frache-Skinscent">Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess perfume</a>. </strong>A perennial favourite, this sensuous, sun-drenched blend of Bergamot, warm Amber, Tiare Flower and Vanilla combines with Coconut for that unexpected, alchemic hint of mystery.  The scent doesn&#8217;t linger so you will need to reapply frequently, but if you love the scent as much as we do, it will be worth it.</p>
<p><strong>CLASSICAL SCENT:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="25386" data-permalink="https://www.delectablychic.com/bridal-gift-guide-2016-part-3-perfumes-for-the-bride/yardley/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Yardley.jpg?fit=540%2C434&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="540,434" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}" data-image-title="Yardley" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Yardley.jpg?fit=300%2C241&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Yardley.jpg?fit=540%2C434&amp;ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25386" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Yardley.jpg?resize=540%2C434" alt="Yardley" width="540" height="434" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Yardley.jpg?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Yardley.jpg?resize=150%2C121&amp;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Yardley.jpg?resize=300%2C241&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p>There is something quintessentially classical and timeless about <strong><a href="https://www.yardleylondon.co.uk/eau-de-toilette.html">Yardley London Eau de Toilette</a>. </strong>Whether English Rose, Lily of the Valley or Lavender, these scents epitomize class and sophistication and are ideal for the most elegant of brides.  Scents like lavender also instantly relax and calm you, so are particularly ideal for brides.</p>
<p><strong>MODERN SCENT:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="25387" data-permalink="https://www.delectablychic.com/bridal-gift-guide-2016-part-3-perfumes-for-the-bride/clean-reserve-blonde-rose/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Clean-Reserve-Blonde-Rose.png?fit=540%2C475&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="540,475" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="Clean Reserve Blonde Rose" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Clean-Reserve-Blonde-Rose.png?fit=300%2C264&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Clean-Reserve-Blonde-Rose.png?fit=540%2C475&amp;ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25387" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Clean-Reserve-Blonde-Rose.png?resize=540%2C475" alt="Clean Reserve Blonde Rose" width="540" height="475" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Clean-Reserve-Blonde-Rose.png?w=540&amp;ssl=1 540w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Clean-Reserve-Blonde-Rose.png?resize=150%2C132&amp;ssl=1 150w, https://i0.wp.com/www.delectablychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Clean-Reserve-Blonde-Rose.png?resize=300%2C264&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.sephora.com/reserve-blonde-rose-P404360">Clean Reserve Scent Blonde Rose</a> </strong>is ideal for the modern bride. It is more woodsy than floral, undoubtedly feminine and boldly sophisticated with a very 21st century edge to it.  Ideal for millennial brides, the composition is a memorable blend of Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Musk, along with rose, jasmine, and peony.  What&#8217;s very unusual about this scent is that instead of evoking memories of the past, it makes one dream of a future of unlimited possibilities.  Each note is linear rather than transitioning from highs and lows, creating within it endless possibilities of layering and blending.</p>
