Hello again recessionistas! We're survivors as women and we certainly know how to save luxury items for the most important times and splurge accordingly... or do we? At this point, some people aren't working and jobs aren't exactly popping up everywhere and people are really concerned about what they spend and where. Even if people are going out shopping or socializing, they're doing it on a penny for happy hours or massive sales. Some designers are really taking heed of what they're seeing in retail sales and designing on the dime just for us!

Badgley Mischka has answered our fragrance needs with the Badgley Mischka Couture Parfum Elixir. Back at the last New York Fashion Week, when I covered the event, I introduced you to the new Couture scent and amazing packaging. Now you must have the small, on-the-go item that goes anywhere. The roll on gel leaves a lasting impression and leaves your skin soft as well!

You can find the Parfum Elixir on your next sale spree in a fine department store for the low price of $48. This product seems to last forever, so don't think you're extra purchase is all for just a month of people recognizing you by scent. I'm off to Nordstrom for some fragrant shopping!

Fashion Week: Badgley Mischka Launches Couture Fragrance #NYFW

--By Jules Newmark

Jules is live and on the scene, scouting select shows and parties at New York Fashion Week for Stiletto Jungle.

James Mischka and Mark Badgley have emphasized yet another integral part of their American couture dream of dressing women... a luxe fragrance called Badgley Mischka Couture. This golden gem shaped bottle with crystal look top is oh-so-luxury and makes every owner feel like a princess! "Our new fragrance, embodies our passion for making women feel beautiful," say the two designers.

At the Badgley Mischka Fragrance Launch Party

When listening to them rave about their new creation during Fashion Week at the Red Door Spa by Elizabeth Arden on Fifth Ave, you could really see their vision to make a woman feel like she was slipping on a gown with each spritz of the scent. A blend of plum, jasmine, gardenia and musk, the fragrance is sexy, feminine and indulgent smelling.

Also with this fine creation comes a new and super chic addition for your purse. Try the Parfum Elixir going for $48.00... it's a gel form of the Couture that goes on smooth and leaves a nice after effect of moisture and beautiful smell! This team really knows how to brand a luxury item - they've been at it for 20 years! Anyone who's first words about couture and luxury that are "glamour and elegance" as Mark says and "comfort and ease" from James is my kind of design team... that's all for me - I'm out the door to buy some more Badgley Mischka Couture... parfum that is!
