By the way, we used the word Juxtaposing in our post.  In case you are not sure the meaning and have to look it up as I had, it means, "place or deal with close together for contrasting effect".

Vera Wang Hippie Princess Eau de Toilette is spirited, carefree, cool. Rings on her fingers and flowers in her hair, she's brave, happy and destined for greatness!
Vera Wang Hippie Princess
Topnotes: Red mango, white freesia, apple blossom
Midnotes: Lotus flower, apricot nectar, Jasmine petals
Basenotes: Blonde woods, pink musk, vanilla

Spirited, happy and carefree, Hippie Princess is the newest fragrance in Vera Wang’s iconic Princess line. Inspired by bright color and bohemian-inspired prints, this princess has rings on her fingers and flowers in her hair. She’s brave and effortlessly cool, revealing the happiness that shines from a life lived fearlessly.

Hippie Princess brightens in a swirl of exotic fruits and gentle florals, opening with playfully indulgent notes of Red Mango and floral White Freesia. A heart of juicy Apricot Nectar and smooth Lotus Flower softens into an aura of Soft Blonde Woods, sheer Pink Musk, and indulgent Vanilla, warming the fragrance as it lingers on the skin.

The vibrant shapes and swirls of the classic Princess bottle feature a cool magenta paisley pattern featuring an oversized teal heart, while a shiny gold crown perches atop the colorful bottle, adorned with vibrant turquoise stones. It’s a true style statement -- for a laid-back princess destined for greatness.

Vera Wang Mother's Day Gift Ideas for 2015

Each of these exotic fragrances from Vera Wang delivers a stylish blend of beautiful floral scent, in gorgeous packaging that perfectly celebrates the women in your life.

If you are purchasing for your own mother, you may want to try Forever Vera.
Forever Vera Fragrance
As timeless as a mother’s love, Forever Vera wraps the exotic notes of white peach, gardenia, and coconut water around a tender heart of luxurious Orris and blooming lilac. Deeper notes of creamy sandalwood, tonka beans, and sheer musk linger delicately on the skin. Inspired by Vera Wang’s Wedgwood collection, the bottle’s delicately hammered glass and elegant rope detail hint at classic femininity – the perfect gift for a woman comfortable in her own skin.  You can purchase this fragrance at Kohl's or another retailer.

If you are purchasing a gift for your sister that happens to be a mother, you may want to try Vera Wang Princess.
Vera Wang Princess Fragrance
You’ve pulled her pigtails and worn her favorite jeans. Now that she’s a mom, you can make it all up to her with one gorgeous gift: Vera Wang Princess. Blending the fullness of Tahitian tiare flower and ripe pink guava with delicate lady apple and vanilla chiffon, it’s perfectly suited to a woman coming into her own. A graceful fragrance fit for a princess, the bottle’s cut glass facets, bejeweled crown cap, and crystalline adornment in amethyst hues tell her what a true treasure she is.

If you already have your mother and sister covered, you may want to think about buying a mother's day gift for your BFF.  Her kids may forget to get her something nice, so it may be a fantastic idea for you to pick up a bottle of Vera Wang Be Jeweled to surprise your best friend for Mother's Day.
Vera Wang Be Jeweled
The essence of the perfect girls’ night out, Vera Wang Be Jeweled blends top notes of pomegranate with a splash of champagne, as sparkling as your best friend’s smile. Mirroring the deepening of lifelong friendship, this fragrance’s flirty florals swirl with passion fruit against a background of pink sugar crystals and musk-infused woods. A bright, eye-catching bottle sparkles with intricate facets of purple, pink and champagne -- the gem your dearest friend deserves.

Above are three perfect gift ideas for Mother's Day 2015.  If for some reason you would like to review additional options, you can view the other gift options posted here on the Fashion Blog (the following are not from Vera).
