Tracy Reese Fall 2012 Collection



 
 
Tracy Reese created these nail colors with Sally Hansen for the Fall/Winter 2012 collection. "Scarab" is a shimmery teal blue and "copperhead" a metallic copper. These colors have real silver in them giving them a 3D effect. The nail collection will come out this Fall in an unnamed collection.




 
 Love the rich colors of the clothing. The color pops on the models.

Fall Wreaths



Fall wreaths are usually hung between early September through Thanksgiving. Fall wreaths are also known as autumn or Thanksgiving wreaths. Fall wreaths often have a fall leaf theme with orange and red, rust colored leaves. Fall wreaths may have a Halloween theme as well. Greeks and Romans used wreaths as Trophies. Greeks and Romans wore wreaths around the head or neck by Victors (Winners) at celebrations and afterwards hung the wreaths as trophies. The wreath was also said to bring good luck. The round shape or circular pattern symbolizes no beginning or end much like a wedding ring symbolizing the flow of the years.
