Warning About Marc Jacobs Daisy In The Air

I always thought Marc Jacobs Daisy smelled great in the bottle, but not so hot on me. I'm much more of a Lola gal, myself. So, today, while perusing Sephora.com, I noticed a new version of Daisy - called Daisy In The Air - and thought I'd check it out.

But after doing some research, I found that Daisy In The Air isn't a new version of Daisy at all. It's actually the original Daisy fragrance in a limited-edition bottle, adorned with light blue flowers. It comes with "a scented daisy chain to hang in your room for a touch of inspiring scent and playful visual appeal."

It's not clear at all, on Sephora.com, that this "new" Daisy isn't a re-imagination of the original scent. So I just wanted to warn Daisy owners not to be fooled into purchasing a bottle of Daisy In The Air - that is, unless your bottle is almost empty and you need to replenish anyway.

I have one thing to say to Elaine Chang, Naomi Shapiro and Shaun Spangler - cut the cord!

Spoiled Pretty Street Style: Dayna In Philadelphia

Because I know how much you love themed posts, like Recessionista's Fabuless Pick of the Week and my celebrity articles, I'm adding another one to the roster...

Welcome to Spoiled Pretty Street Style - a new column that shines a spotlight on fashion and beauty trends, and how they're being interpreted in your neck of the woods.

For the inaugural post, I'm spotlighting Dayna, an impossibly chic Philadelphia lawyer.

In the photo, Dayna is rocking: a Black Halo dress, J. Crew cardigan, Marc Jacobs sunglasses, Heidi Klum earrings, Lagos ring, David Yurman and Charriol bracelets, Louis Vuitton handbag, and Boutique 9 sandals.

SP: What are your top five beauty products for summer?
Dayna: Darphin Cleansing Foam Gel, NARS Bronzing Powder, NARS Blush in Orgasm, Diorshow Black Out Mascara, and Chanel Aqualumiere Lip Gloss in #72 (Bubble Plum)

SP: Are there any celebrities whose style you admire?
Dayna: Rachel Bilson, Kate Bosworth, Lauren Conrad, Diane Kruger, and Nicole Richie

SP: What items are you currently coveting?
Dayna: Burberry trench coat and Gucci sandals. Oh, and a Chloe Paddington bag. I just don't think I should be living without it.

SP: What is your #1 beauty tip?
Dayna: Use a heated eyelash curler. They make a travel one at Sephora. It's amazing.

Want to be featured in Street Style? Take a photo of yourself or someone you know, stylin' and profilin'...with a breakdown of the fashion and beauty products pictured. Then send it to my inbox. If you're chosen, I'll feature the look on Spoiled Pretty - and I'll send you a beauty goodie for your troubles!
