While I can't complain about the weather in Scottsdale most of the year, the least fun transition is always from summertime, when we go from scorching, sweaty, make-up melting hot temperatures, to the autumn months when we can expect slightly less scorching, sweaty, make-up melting hot temperatures.
As if it's not enough that we have no real change of seasons, such as leaves turning colors, or a crispness creeping into the morning air, we are also forced to look longingly as fashionistas in cooler climates who get to rip into all the brand new fashionable digs that go along with the biggest season of the year. Cute fall coats? Wool dresses? Forget it! Fall is virtually non-existent here in the Sonoran desert, where temperature extremes transition practically over night from sweltering heat to a winter's chill, leaving fall in the dust.
So, how can we desert dwellers get our autumn fashion fix? Through fabulous new makeup and nail colors, of course!! My new favorite color on the PLANET is Estee Lauder's Black Amethyst limited edition nail color, brand new for fall from their Sensuous Gold Collection. I almost want to lick it right off my fingers! Also, one coat of polish is enough to lay down a rich, deep, slick plum color that is almost black. This is a MUST-Have item for anyone pining away to wear a a new MaxMara suit, but the weather just won't permit! Wear this nail color with lightweight clothing in shades of nude and camel, and you'll be right in step with fall's hottest look, without spontaneously combusting due to high temperatures!
Cheers for now,
The Maven
