Automne has less orange/red undertones; it's more honey brown with slight orange undertones.
^^^ You got it, roey - I happened to touch base with the buyer for my local Bal store, and she says the same as you - "Orange Brule is more honey, orangey brown".... mmm, delicious, I'm all for it!
Also saw Militaire and it's lovely - a funny, pale grey-green, but not in the style I am looking for. Hopefully my chosen style will arrive in the next week or so.
I am glad I held off for so long. "Long" in my Bal calender equates to 10 and half months, but still not as admirably restrained as Mia Bella at 24 months.
The long wait and everyone kindly posting up swatches as they become available and their opinions and reveals has helped me drastically reduce my 2011 Want List from about seven items in seven different colours, to just three items in three colours- Anthra, Militatire and Orange Brule. After that, I am 90% positive I'll be done for quite a few seasons, and be one of the girls content to view others' tantalizing reveals (roey, your reveals for blues and anthras are the stuff of legends
)
Although I adore Blue Lavande, Atlantique, Papyrus and The New Red, I know I won't wear them as much, so I'll force my head to look the other direction and pass on those
