Fall's Best: Provocation from Chanel


Summer has arrived in San Francisco, a bit late for my taste. After waiting grumpily through a very winter-like summer, the fall fashion magazines started arriving in my mailbox. Now I'm ready for crisp days and cool nights. And it was 80 degrees today! So I'm back in summer clothes, but I have moved toward fall with my nail polish. 

Chanel created limited edition colors for Fashion's Night Out in September. I fell in love with Provocation and bought it sight-unseen on chanel.com. Chanel describes it as a beautiful rich plum, and it has dark red and dark purple undertones. 

With short nails, I think it's the perfect mix of uptown chic and downtown cool.
Happy fall!
