Smell the roses
A good way to get into spring mode, even if it’s still coat whether outside, is scent. Specifically rose, which these days manages to be both fresh and outdoorsy yet calm and comforting.

This is one for casual days to wear with a chunky Barrie sweater, white 501s and biker boots. (Buy it at Diptyque, Net-a-Porter and Space NK.) (more…)
