Fashion is not only a trendy word, it is the whole world with its own rules and principles, stars and enemies. This world is opened to everybody and you will for sure take your own place there. The only one BUT! If you are just a fashionista, people will admire your style and nothing more, they will never take your talents seriously and you will never become a part of fashion history; and if you are a fashion designer, people will ask what is hot this season, they will admire you and pay thousands dollars in order to visit the same café you like))) I think you feel the difference.
Nowadays, we will hardly find a woman possessing the only one perfume. Almost each woman has not less than 3 fragrances and one – the most beloved one, her unique, her absolute favorite.
People have used perfume, and oils for thousands of years in lesser or greater amounts. The early Egyptians used special perfumed balms in religious aims. Many plants such as rose and peppermint were used to extract perfumed oil from them. It is amazing, but after trying a plenty of ways of perfume creating, we still make fragrances in the same way as our ancestors did.
Never fit a dress to the body but train the body to fit the dress
Elsa Schiaparelli
Once I came across this phrase, I made my mind to find more about its author and I was shocked, shame on me I haven’t told anything about Elsa Schiaparelli yet.
… Bright, talented, aristocratic, secretive, Elsa had friends everywhere from Paris to Hollywood, she liked the Surrealists and said her word to the world of fashion…
Frankly speaking, I am going to tell you about the most expensive perfume in the world – simply No 1 called Imperial Majesty by designer Clive Christian (which costs $215,000 a bottle – 30 ml). This fragrance was already given the Guinness World Record award (the 1st fragrance to receive it) on a party held at Saks on December 8th 2007.
The perfume is a limited edition of the Clive Christian signature scent. The all 10 Imperial Majesty perfume bottles are handmade in Baccarat crystal, circled with the 24-karat gold-plated sterling silver and encrusted with a diamond solitaire. The perfume contains extremely expensive sandalwood from India and vanilla from Tahiti.

The scent from Clive Christian belongs to floral/oriental family of fragrances.

Story of Valenki
Valenki are traditional Russian winter boots made of felt. They used to be extremely popular and still a prefect symbol of the Russian Federation. Their story started many years ago, the technology of their producing is unique: each valenok is made from a seamless strip of 100% lamb wool. Thus, they are extremely warm and healthy felt boots. They are “bathed” in special acid and then in boiling water and before the final step – drying – they are given a form of a foot.
Valenki are perfect for healing of cold-flu, rheumatic disease. Hairs of wool gently massage feet, make blood circulation much better and take care about immune system. And now, valenki are ideal for cold weather, you’ll stay warm even when it’s 40 degrees C below zero. According to a reliable source, they are more reliable than Swedish or Norwegian ones. Russian valenki were worn by both common people and members of tsar family. Valenki are not waterproof, so most people adore wearing them together with galoshi – special rubber clogs to protect valenki from water, wear and tear.
