Like it or not, this weekend the clocks change and our days get darker. For us here at Mama’s A Rolling Stone, that means revamping our beauty regime to include rich new nail colors that, while still colorful, suit the melancholy fall weather. Specifically, we’re thinking plush purples, rich reds, and deep berries. Happily, a slew of nail color brands also have dark days on their minds. If you naturally lean towards a bohemian-luxe aesthetic, opt for Chanel’s Vendetta, a dark, jewel-toned purple that reflects violet when it hits the light. If you favor a mysterious rocker-chic vibe, look no further than Nars’ Dovima, an intense tomato red. Or, if you’re a girly-girl at heart, try American Apparel’s Berries, a creamy burgundy that will add an enigmatic yet feminine touch to your beauty regime. With these ideas in mind, check out our five favorite rich nail colors for dark fall days.

What better way to brighten up a dreary fall day than with a colorful mash-up of prints and patterns. Whether you pair a leopard print with an ikat pattern, a geometric design with a pretty floral, or a tribal print with a grunge-inspired plaid, mixing and matching always creates a playful and effortless vibe. Just look at the lovely lady above, who was spotted out and about on the streets of New York City. We love how she has paired a bright pink tribal-print top with a pair of leopard ballet flats—the look is part bohemian, part rock & roll. Ready to work this look? The key is to break up your prints with solid-color pieces, as her muse has done with the addition of inky-blue jeans and an oversized brown hobo bag. A black bandage skirt or wide-leg pants would work well too!

If you haven’t already invested in a chic leather piece, it is time to start shopping. Why, you ask? Leather is perfect for crisp fall days and sunny spring mornings, it adds a super-cool element to every ensemble, and it is ultra-accessible. Just look at the street style starlet above, who was spotted in New York City. We absolutely love her flared leather skirt and appreciate how she updated it with of-the-moment pieces—military-green tee, bowler hat—to create a look that is cool, calm and collected. Plus, when the weather turns, this ensemble easily transitions into fall with the addition of opaque tights and a slouchy sweater.
