    Ok, so here’s the Shape coverage for the month! (I know you’ve been dying to know!)

    Actually, a good month for perfume in Shape. Their fashion spread this month was fashion paired with perfume, called “Scents of Style.” Recommendations and pairings include Michael Kors Gold (getting around!), Chanel Jersey, Burburry Body, and other recent releases. The blurbs are pretty much the same as the press releases we see here, but I was surprised to see so much coverage, even if it’s lacking depth.
