Chanel Exception nail polish fall 2014

Pictured: Chanel Exception nail polish from the late fall 2014 collection.

Chanel Exception is one of three nail polish hues from Chanel’s late fall 2014 beauty collection. The nail polish collection features classic hues in burgundy, red and dark nude. Exception is a pretty, mid-burgundy color which offers a flat, timeless hue.

Burgundy is arguably the most important color of the classic autumn hue spectrum. Every fall season we enjoy clothing and accessories in vibrant shades of burgundy, oxblood and maroon. Therefore, it is no wonder that a fall nail polish hue should be part of any nail polish collection. Chanel rarely offers a burgundy in their red nail polish collection. Normally, Chanel offers every shade of classic red imaginable; without crossing into burgundy territory. Although there have been a few burgundy’s over the past decade, it has not been offered as much as classic red.

Exception by Chanel is a beautiful nail polish hue which is both classic and ideal for the current season. This pretty interpretation of burgundy is easy to wear and works well with all of autumn’s hues. Chanel Exception nail polish is also a great investment color to keep in ones’ nail polish collection. 

I tested out Chanel Exception nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. The nail polish held up really well and did not chip until the sixth day. Love that!

Jackets for fall 2014 and winter 2015 are offering a wide range of styles. The moto jacket trend from last year is still going strong; and we are also seeing an uptick in the waterfall jacket trend which has been popular for the past few seasons. In addition to the moto jacket and waterfall jacket, traditional puffer jackets, tailored blazers and waisted windbreakers are also du rigueur for the fall 2014 and winter 2015 seasons. 

One of the great things about jackets this fall/winter 2014/2015 season is that the styles are timeless. There is a good chance we all have a moto jacket in our closets as well as a blazer, puffer jacket, windbreaker or waterfall jacket. This makes finding a jacket for the fall/winter 2014/2015 season an easy and inexpensive task since most of us will be able to shop our closets! Love that!

In addition to classic moto jacket styles, this motorcycle inspired jacket style has taken on new life for the fall/winter 2014/2015 season. Moto jackets are being shown in more than leather and faux-leather styles for this cool weather season. Designers have used fabrications including tweed, wool, polyester and more to add texture and dimension to the traditional moto jacket silhouette. If black leather or faux-leather isn’t your thing ,look for a moto jacket this season in pastel pink, a bright color or neutral hue made from wool, satin, sequins and more!

If you are shopping for a waterfall jacket this fall 2014 or winter 2015 season, look for one in grey, pale pink or any shade of blue. Waterfall jackets tend to be lighter weight than other styles of jackets and they are going to continue to be a big trend in jackets as we move into resort and spring 2015. By purchasing one now in a spring color such as pale pink, grey, or blue, you will save money in the long run and get a lot of wear out of your waterfall jacket. Love that!

I love moto jackets and waterfall jackets this season. What is your favorite style of jacket for fall 2014 and winter 2015?
