Shades of red for fall 2011

 in Color Trends / General Fashion / Trends  tagged fall 2011 / red by

Move over honeysuckle, there is a new hue in town!

When designers sent their fall collections down the Milan, Paris, New York and London runways earlier this year, the fashion world was seeing red; literally. Red came in many shades and forms on the fall runways. There were red coats, dresses, shoes, handbags and anything that could have a color, did, and it was red. Red was shown in various shades ranging from bright red down to deep burgundy. Red was shown alone as well as color blocked with black; a throwback to the 1980’s.

Red is a color that seems to flow in and out of style every year; making it an easy way to invest in an item that is not only on-trend but classic! Fabulous!

What is our favorite red investment item for fall? The burgundy handbag. We here at Bay Area Fashionista love the deep, rich tones of burgundy and her warmer sister maroon. The shade can easily be worn with cool color tones and is an understated pop when paired with black. Burgundy is also an autumn classic which allows it to be the perfect investment color for fall. Happy shopping, and stay fabulous.

Eternal Egypt by Nocturne Alchemy

 in Beauty / Fragrance  tagged nocturne alchemy / reviews by

Nocturne Alchemy is a niche perfumer who has designed an entire fragrance collection around Egyptian mythology. Eternal Egypt by Nocturne Alchemy is the perfumers’ signature scent and embodies the mystery behind ancient Egypt through a warm and slightly spicy fragrance experience that evokes memories of Pyramids and Obelisks while offering the perfect fragrance note combination for the dry and warm Silicon Valley weather.

Nocturne Alchemy’ Eternal Egypt starts off with a mildly spicy and warm scent. After about thirty minutes the mild spices fade into the background and a warm mixture of amber, which is both rich and complex, takes you through the day. When the sun goes down, Nocturne Alchemy’s Eternal Egypt leaves you with a warm and smooth, musky dry-down.

Fragrance notes: White amber, red Egyptian musk, Egyptian amber, Sands of Egypt

Although Eternal Egypt by Nocturne Alchemy features a warm combination of notes, the mild spice and medium-heaviness allow the fragrance to be worn in both warm and cool weather.

Nocturne Alchemy’s Eternal Egypt is available in both a 5 ml bottle and a sample or “Skarab” form. The 5 ml bottle is currently priced at $13. For more information about how to purchase from Nocturne Alchemy, please visit nocturnealchemy.com.
