New Fragrances to Fall For.

There are some very nice new fragrances that have been recently launched. Any of these would be perfect for fall.

Donna Karan WOMAN
A new fragrance created by iconic designer Donna Karan, Architect Zaha Hadia and Perfumer Anne Flipo. Just like a woman, the fragrance is a dichotomy of softness and strength. With notes usually found in masculine fragrances, they are wrapped in white florals to create this scent that is both feminine and sensual.

Coach Poppy Blossom
Inspired by the playful nature of the Poppy Woman who adores city life, but craves the beauty of nature, Coach Poppy Blossom is like her urban garden - a blossoming oasis. The fragrance combines fruits, flowers and woods. It's a sparkling yet vibrant fruity floral bouquet.

Oscar de la Renta Essential Luxuries
This tailored line of unique scents is imbued with Oscar de la Renta's love of beauty and luxury. Comprised of specially sourced ingredients of the most exceptional quality, each one of these six fragrances echoe the close connections to Oscar’s vibrant life and loves, and perfectly speaks his language—find joy, be sparkling, feel gorgeous.

Fall 2012: Estée Lauder Pure Color Beyond Black & Metal Mania Nail Lacquer Collections.

This fall, nails are either dark and vampy or full on metallic. Estée Lauder launched the new Pure Color Nail Lacquer Beyond Black and Metal Mania Collections just in time. The two collections bring on all the seduction, beauty and fantasy of the City of Lights at night, which encompasses the new nail trend.

Beyond Black is made up of five deep shades that saturate nails in rich and dramatic color, capturing the allure of the Parisian Femme Fatale.

• Caviar
• Bête Noire
• Blue Blood 
• Black Plum 
• Viper

Estée Lauder Pure Color Beyond Black

Metal Mania is made up of another five shades that dresses nails in glam glitters for a modern metallic finish.

• Nouveau Riche
• Explosif 
• Chaos 
• Smashed 
• Fiery Hot

Estée Lauder Pure Color Metal Mania

Don't be shy when you are doing your nails for fall. I love the darker shades and I do like metallics, but prefer a twist on both. Accenting a dark manicure with a metallic french tip or one metallic accent nail is a gorgeous way to go and fully embrace both trends.

Each Pure Color Nail Lacquer sells for $20.00 and is available right now at Estée Lauder and esteelauder.com.
