This gold Pucci clutch is a little bit avant garde, a little bit retro-futuristic, and a lot totally amazing. To be honest, I might be a little obsessed with it. But just imagine it fitting neatly in the palm of your hand with some gold Louboutin peep toes and a slim sheath gown. I have to warn you that it is pricey. Like $1,385 pricey. But, as I’ve said before and will inevitably say again: Think of your wedding as an opportunity to invest in designer pieces that you will wear the rest of your life. Available from Net-A-Porter.

Kat Von D Saint ($55) – Is she the innocent type? This scent is a blend of mandarin and plums with dashes of caramel, exotic florals, vanilla and musk.
Kat Von D Sinner ($55) – Or is she a little more dangerous? This scent is similar to Saint but it has deep spicy notes of cinnamon, patchouli, vanilla and woods.
Pucci Vivara Black Edition ($80) – This fragrance is perfect for a cocktails or a hot date. Bergamot, amaretto and florals are blended with vetiver, patchouli and narcissus flower to give this scent an intense vibe.
Versace Versense ($85) – Mandarin, pears and florals are paired with cedarwood, olive tree and musk in this new fragrance for fall.
Michael Kors Very Hollywood ($85) – Mandarin, vetiver and gardenias are blended together to create this new scent that is sexy, glamorous and sophisticated.

Boss Hugo Boss Hugo Element ($65) – This scent is for the guy who is confident and sophisticated. It has notes of ginger, cedarwood and coriander.

Some of these new scents would make great transitional fragrances to wear for fall.  They’re available at Sephora or department stores near you. Pick them up for yourself or someone you love.

Fall Fragrances for Him and Her

Metallic printing and sequins have been combined in a way on this Pucci gown that makes the shimmery fabric look like it is falling in waves. The ornately embellished bodice is balanced out by the delicate simplicity of the chiffon skirt.

The metallic sequins on this Calvin Klein gown are clustered into an almost giraffe print pattern. When I think of sequins, I usually think of prom type gowns, but this is an utterly classic and chic print. The asymmetrical hem of the skirt and the simple silhouette keep the print from going over the top.

This dramatic Zac Posen gown is one of my absolute favorites. The combination of the deep sweep and elaborate sleeves is just breathtaking, and the interwocen metallic threads create subtle striping that enhances the long lines of the gown.
