Red nails.
1.
I'm on the prowl for just the right shade of red nail polish for my complexion. Unfortunately, it mostly ends up looking berry or fuchsia on me, which must have something to do with my undertones. Who knew a classic color could be so complicated? But I take comfort in the fact that I am not alone in my dogged pursuit.
N.B. So far, Chanel Pirate (year-round) and Essie Clambake (summertime) have met the required standard.

Today, I put my shorts away for the season.
The temperatures have dropped, and the air is crisp. It feels like fall is here to stay in NYC.
