Quick Introduction

Wanted to introduce myself so you know who is behind all this.

I am a blogger, fashion designer, fashion consultant, tv host, model and the best job yet, I am a dreamer!

Market research is another main thing I do, and I get to travel to the big cities in search for the coolest , cutest, yummiest anything! Wether its a store, cafe or person. I am always in the look out for something new and finding another favorite spot!

Hope I get to show you what I like and that it will spark some interest to you as well!

Santa Maria Novella

You probably already know this place.Some people find out when they make a trip down to Italy.(One of the worlds oldest perfumeries located in Florence, Italy)But I found out while I was in NYC in the 45rPM store. I walked in and immediately asked the staff what the smell was and she told me it was the store incense and the Santa Maria Novella potpourri. Unfortunatly I didn’t have the time to walk over to the LAFCO store, but luckily there was a store right here in LA on Melrose Place.Sparsely available throughout the world…the line is incredibly exclusive and hard to find!

Great place to buy gifts for anyone and yourself!
They have soaps, scented candles, body products and known for their perfumes and signature scents.Their colognes are legendary for their quality of oils, lasting power and originality.
This place smells amazing!

A little fact I found on YELP! :
Many people are familiar with Santa Maria Novella from the JAMES BOND movies, in the film “Casino Royale” in one of the final scenes you see James going through his girlfriends handbag searching for clues, Then you see the perfume in Eva Green’s handbag is “Melograno” from Santa Maria Novella.

Hello world!

Welcome to Rove with Me!

Nice to meet you all!

I am not new to the blogger world, but I am going to try something I have never done before! This has been on my mind for a while now and am so happy to be doing my first post!

I get to travel around the world for work and find so many amazing places to eat, shop or just places to walk around and get inspired. Also I realized that I have been living in LA now going for 8 years and still find neat little spots that I fall in love with that I never knew existed!

Have you ever been in a town and wanted to go shopping but didn’t want to go to the  towns shopping center? Or a mass marketed store?Or you wanted to walk around and be around people and not in front of your computer online shopping? Or want to sit down and people watch at a cute little cafe but had no clue on where to go?

I have searched everywhere for a site that has this type of “tasteful” information. Thats the key word, Tasteful!  You can look online and find stores here and there, but is it what you are actually looking for?And not one site has it all …. at least not yet!

Now, I want to share these places with you. I want you to be able to come to my site and find new places or comment and discuss what we like and dislike about those places. This page will be a place to discover new boutiques, cafe’s and hopefully new friends!

I want to post places I have been and places I hope to see and explore one day. And I hope that you guys will share that with me too!
