Play Stylist: What Women’s Perfume Do You Think These Hollywood Celebs Should Wear?

It’s red carpet season and that means we’re seeing not just the celebrities and their winning moments but their fashion choices as well. As our favorite celebs grace the red carpet at the Golden Globes, let’s play stylist and figure out what women’s perfume goes well with their gowns and dresses.

Cate Blanchett – Winner, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture (Drama)

Always regal and sophisticated, Cate Blanchett won the best performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture for her role of Jeanette ‘Jasmine’ Francis in Blue Jasmine, a Woody Allen film. She’s one of the best dressed this season, wearing an elegant black lace dress over a skintone bodice by Armani Privé. The back of the dress has a low dip that accentuates her long spine. For a million dollar Hollywood star that exudes pure sophistication, we’re thinking Emporio Armani Diamonds for Women is the perfect perfume accessory. Emporio Armani Diamonds is created for a woman with grace and timeless beauty.

Jennifer Lawrence – Winner, Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture

A beautiful face you love to see at the red carpet, Jennifer Lawrence is one humble and quirky Hollywood star who instantly rose to fame when she won the best actress award for Silver Linings Playbook at last year’s Oscar. She’s also popular for playing the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movies. Although many fashion critics think J. Law’s gown by Dior is a miss this year, she’s still the perfect female star to wear Dior haute couture. While she’s currently Miss Dior’s endorser, we think she could give justice in wearing the playful and romantic Forever and Ever by Christian Dior for Women. After all, she planted a kiss on boyfriend Nicholas Hoult’s lips before accepting her award. Well that’s one romantic ever after for Jennifer.

Kerry Washington – Nominee, Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series (Drama)

Even when pregnant, Kerry Washington never fails to walk on the red carpet with refined style. In fact, she never misses to be part of the best-dressed Hollywood stars. The actress nominee for her role in Scandal proves that she’s not only a beautiful face but a talented artist worthy of a nomination. A white custom-made Balenciaga dress donned Kerry Washington and we think L’eau de Chloe for Women would be a perfect perfume for the mom-to-be. L’eau de Chloe is a subtle, refreshing scent that’s mild – just perfect for a pregnant woman.

Sofia Vergara – Nominee, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television
Who wouldn’t recognize this Colombian bombshell who’s not only drop-dead gorgeous with all those curves but downright funny, especially in her role in Modern Family? A nominee in this year’s Golden Globes, Sofia gave good justice to Zac Posen’s creation. The black, strapless ball gown, flawless hair and makeup, perfect complexion, her megawatt smile and her cleavage definitely dominated the red carpet. Sofia Vergara looks like a Latina princess, that’s why Love and Glamour by Jennifer Lopez is the right perfume choice for her. This alluring scent is dreamy, combining fruity and floral scents enclosed in a perfume bottle shaped in a woman’s body.

Before You Get Plugged In: Three Points to Think About Before You Buy Your Headphones

When it comes to buying headphones, there are a substantial number of options to choose from within today’s emerging market. You may have already found the pair that you really want to own, but are quickly forced to change your mind because you happen to find a pair that you like even better than the others that you have seen.

Purchasing headphones can be much more difficult than purchasing the actual music or media players that you listen to with the headphones, primarily because of the wide variety of options from which you can choose. In order to make things much easier, there are several points you can follow to narrow down the list of options and find the perfect set for you.

Focus on the Purpose

The first step that you need to focus on when it comes to purchasing headphones is the purpose and overall objective that the headphone will serve once you have bought them. Even though this might seem like a common question with a common answer, you might be surprised to find out that the exact opposite is the case. While there are many consumers who purchase headphones, such as Layla headphones, to listen to music and media, there are many other consumers who simply enjoy headphones for noise cancelling purposes on long flights and business trips. Identifying your specific purpose will help you to narrow down the list of options, because it will allow you to eliminate the options that simply do not serve the desired purpose.

Set a Strict Budget for Your Purchase

If you have been in a major department store or online website for electronic products recently, you more than likely have already noticed that headphones are no longer as affordable and feasibly priced as they used to be. Years ago, there was not a single set of headphones that was priced more than $100 in most cases. Nowadays, there is an expanding line of premium headphones that are priced well over $200 and $300 that have helped to boost the yearly sales generated within this market alone past the $1 billion mark, according to OurStage.com.

Therefore, you need to come up with a strict budget that you can afford for your headphones and search for a set within that price range. For example, if you are searching for a high quality set that is priced under $200, there are quite a few in-ear and over-ear Layla headphones that might be the perfect fit for your needs and budget as well.

Do Not Focus Too Much on the Brand

One of the worst mistakes you can make when shopping for any type of headphones or audio equipment is to focus excessively on the brand name. Many consumers overlook some of the best equipment that is available on the market today when it comes to performance, efficiency and quality simply because they aren’t able to easily recognize the brand name. For example, many people that have never heard of Layla headphones would not give them a second thought even though case studies and surveys have proved that they are some of the best quality headphones available today. The best course of action to take in order to make sure that you are getting the best possible deal is to conduct thorough research on the actual product more than the brand associated with it. At the end of the day, you are going to be stuck with the product – not the company that made it. Therefore, you should want to make sure that you are getting the best deal possible that you will be happy with for many years to come.
