I’m spending this summer in an ethereal daydream with Marc Jacobs newest fragrance, Daisy Dream. It’s a
sophisticated and airy perfume that reminds me of sweet and simple days. I think as a career woman it’s easy to get
side-tracked by work and forget to not take ourselves so seriously. This summer I’m determined to relax more by
spending time with the hubs and frenchies, and not forget to still dream.
When I’m choosing a fragrance, I’m always inclined for a scent that can evoke more than just a pretty scent. The blackberry and jasmine notes in this perfume is the perfect combination for the sophisticated woman who is still young
at heart. Decorated with daisies and gold details over a petite blue bottle, this perfume bottle is possibly the most
beautiful bottle I’ve ever seen. It’s currently available at Sephora & Bloomingdales. I was in love with this scent from
the moment I first encountered it, and I hope you love it as much as I do!

I am so excited to show you guys the photos I took of the new Marc Jacobs fragrance- Daisy Dream. Inspired by the bottle design I wanted to emphasis the floral element. What is more dreamy than laying in a bed of fresh wild flowers. Set in the calm and ever so beautiful, Switzerland. When I think of a dream capsule, I think about entrapping an idea or a goal or a plan. No matter how wild or seemingly impossible that dream may be, when you give it space and power, it Will come true. When I held the plump bottle up against the sky, I saw the sunlight shine through to me, the pastel colors of the vast sky marinated the perfume with its energy. The mirrored cap gave a perfect reflection of myself taking the picture and the grassland behind me. At that exact moment I realized i’ve just captured my dream…the sun, the earth, everything in between and me, capturing every moment- sharing every moment. What would your dream capsule look like?

If there’s one thing every woman needs it’s a signature scent. There’s nothing more personal, lasting and feminine than perfume or even essential oils that leave just a hint of beauty in the air. I’ve always been fascinated by smells, how they can bring back memories, leave an impression or lure you into a bakery or shop. It’s a powerful sense that triggers something different in each person. I have a slight obsession when it comes to beautiful bottles and scents. When Marc Jacobs Fragrances asked me to test out the new Daisy Dream perfume I gladly accepted. The lace-like daisy pattern on the bottle was enough to grab my girly side’s attention but the light, floral fragrance is something I could wear everyday—and this week I have been.
In collaboration with Marc Jacobs, I shot this series in Santa Monica to show my take on a free and dreamy vibe. Decided not to take this opportunity not to roll around in grass and instead shot these just after it got dark on the beach. Perfect 80 degree summer nights are the best thing about thousand degree days so it’s good to maximize those. I love this new version of Marc’s Daisy along with their idea of creating a dream capsule around it. Create your own capsule here and you’ll get it back in a year’s time! You’ll probably smile upon receipt.
Marc Jacobs has done it again with a new dreamy perfume called Daisy Dream. I love the scent of my Daisy perfume and the new Daisy Dream perfume smells
sweeter yet still light and airy with an equally adorable bottle covered in daisies. They say never judge a book by its cover but it’s ok to judge a perfume by it’s bottle right? I love all the daisies covering this bottle and all the gold accents! I never stop daydreaming and neither should you! To celebrate the launch of the Daisy Dream, Marc Jacobs wants to know about your dream for a chance to win tons of gifts. Make sure to make your own Dream Capsule and submit here. Below is
my Dream Capsule. My dream consists of pretty flowers that remind me of romantic getaways, my happy place that is the beach, traveling to a city with great historic architecture… kind of sounds like my recent getaway, no?
To celebrate the launch of the new Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream perfume we were asked to share some of our dreams. Which is kind of the perfect time right now, because I love to travel and I’m about to see some of the most beautiful places of Asia in the next days. The Flacon will travel with me this time. Since I have visited the Fragrance House myself I know how difficult it is to create a really good perfume and I really appreciate it. Marc Jacobs’s new perfume comes with a fruity headnote (blackberry, grapefruit and pear), the middle notes are blue wisteria, lychee and jasmine. You can smell a little bit of the cocos. To me it’s a very innocent and light perfume, just right for the day. Marc Jacobs Fragrance has also created a dream capsule around Daisy Dream, where you can share your own personal dreams. After one year, it will be sent back to you. Maybe it will become true… untill then… I’ve made my own. If you want you can also instagram your dreams with the Hasthag #MJDAISYDREAM!
Have you ever felt like dreaming with your eyes open? Feeling sensually surprised by a fruity sensation, suddenly left brightened, but curious …
Discovering yourself disturbed by a stunning incense, feeling bristle stroking you … strongly but softly. Looking for words to put onto this experience, ephemeral but unforgettable… You detest the idea of waking up? Well this is your dream, and as long as you are day dreaming, Marc Jacobs makes you feel awake. I encourage you to create your own Dream Capsule HERE and feel the Day Dream vibe.
This is only the second creative editorial I’ve taken on this year. Last year it was playing creative director, model and stylist for luxury brands Dolce &
Gabbana, Louis Vuitton (in creative collaboration with Zanita) and Lancome – all collaborations I had complete creative control over and worked
tirelessly on to create unique content for both Gary Pepper and each respective brand.
This year it has only been Lancome, as I’m so particular with what brands I work with and how I work with them. Often one element is wrong; there’s no
creative freedom, it’s not a strong brand alignment, it’s too commercial, they have little or no budget – the list goes on. I can truthfully tell you I decline
perhaps 90% of the work that comes in for the various reasons above, but the remaining 10% is when everything falls into place and I get to present work
like this, work I truly love creating for you all and work that takes weeks to develop concepts, plan and execute to the quality I am happy with.
So, with much joy, I can finally share with you all some of my latest work in collaboration with Marc Jacobs to celebrate their new Marc Jacobs Daisy
Dream Fragrance. I played the role once again as creative director, model and stylist while Luke was the photographer working his magic behind the
lens.
When I smelt Daisy Dream for the first time I knew straight away how I would interpret it for Gary Pepper. Its fresh floral scent was incredibly light and it
softly lingers around the rim of your nose as the seconds pass. It’s ethereal and dreamy with subtle notes of sweetness, keep ing this fragrance true to the
playfulness of the Marc Jacobs brand. I wanted to keep the concept and styling very simple – it’s about how fragrances make you feel. In this case, I felt
like I was floating through an ethereal dream…
There’s also the element of the Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Capsule – a fun little concept where you can join the thousands of dreamers and create your
own dream capsule which Marc Jacobs will send back to you in one year. Anyone who has followed my brand from the beginning will know how much
of a believer I am when it comes to following your dreams, which is why this concept couldn’t be more fitting.
