Mrs. Perfume's Picture
Mrs. Perfume, DC Age and Occupation: 36, Consultant (and Part-Time Professor) Fiance's Age and Occupation: 41, Consultant Engagement Date: May 13, 2008 Wedding Date: May, 2009 Venue: The Homestead, Hot Springs, Virginia About Me: I'd like to think that I'm a modern day Little Edie Beale. Only not as..."talented". More realistically, I'm a foodie who can't bake; a dancer and dilettente; an art collector with a penchant for the whimsical and subversive. I live in the city and adore the country, but not much in between. I like smart design, great craftmanship and good value. Most of all, I love the new vintage aesthetic: classic, sweet, delicate, bespoke. If I had to do it all over again, I'd go for a culinary arts degree rather than a PhD; but wouldn't trade Mr. P for the world.
About Mrs. Perfume

Don’t hate me. I’ve been a bad blogger and went on hiatus, adjusting to married and normal life!

I last left you with the overview of the wedding. Before I do a full rewind, I’ll warm up and ease my way back into blogging with some snapshots of our foodie honeymoon in northern Italy (Bellagio, Italian Riviera, and Venice).

Here’s Part 1: Bellagio. Run your cursor over the show until the drive buttons come up. Click ’caption’ to view captions.

@Mrs. Penguin: @tea: The tickets were basically free! We got them using all the miles that Mr. P racked up on business trips!

Amazing pics Mrs. P! Totally drool-worthy food and scenery.

P.S. Maybe it’s because I’ve been watching too much Mad Men, but Mr. P looks a lot like Don Draper!

@Jennifer:The Shard Box store in Beijing. HOWEVER, I got those to replace a pair that I had previously purchased years earlier from a place called Fire and Ice.

@Lillindy: Yep, the extreme close-ups were p-shopped! I was breaking out like a teenager. Also, for the rest, Mac Studio Fix makeup is the best.
