I bought this Rough and Tumble bag last summer and love carrying it because the leather is so soft and supple, with the tobacco colored suede on the interior. It rests nicely on my shoulder, laying flat, yet it’s sturdy enough to carry a load if I need to. Hand crafted in Maine, the silvery shimmer dresses it up a bit, so it’s perfect for most any occasion. TINY SLING, etsy.com, $158
Seeking to create a perfume that was less sweet than the other fragrances coming out in the market in the 50’s Christian Dior launched Diorissimo. The fragrance is light and simple, yet luminous.

This has been my favorite fragrance for decades and I always receive compliments when I wear it. Read more of the history of this beautiful scent at Fragrantica.
