Love the scent of clean laundry? Downy has ingeniously taken it one step further with the creation of Downy Infusions, a liquid fabric softener previously known as Downy Simple Pleasures, available in six luxurious scents: Honey Flower, Lavender Serenity, Orchid Allure, Spice Blossom, Citrus Spice, and Sage Jasmine. I recommend treating your linens to one spectacular scent, and wash your delicates in another. Pair the new scent of Downy Unstopables Beads in Shimmer with it’s mate — the Honey Flower from the Infusions line for extra longevity and lasting power, up until your next wash!

At this Style Coalition/ELLE Magazine/Downy event, I learned about the creation of the scents, and us blogger gals passed around samples to guess which scent was which (see pic above). Leaving with some samples in tow, I can’t wait to do my laundry and test them out; I think that is certainly a first!

A Hi Low dress seamlessly blends the sexiness of a mini dress with the flowing elegance of a maxi dress. You’ll turn heads even in the most basic Hi Low dress; its uneven hemline is an instant attention getter. You can also dress them up or down with ease by switching out accessories.

For the month of August at all Drybar locations, you too can give the retro-glam hairstyle a whirl.   And, it’s the same price as Drybar’s other menu blow out styles ($40 in NYC, $35 elsewhere). Channel the glamour of the style while you relax at a gorgeous marble bar and watch the FOREVER MARILYN: THE BLU-RAY COLLECTION as it streams on large flatscreen TVs throughout the salon.
