  november has the royal treatment. get knighted, rule the empire and find utopia with this month's picks:

empire style.
boston's museum of fine arts pays tribute to the little man with the big, um, ego. its new exhibit, symbols of power: napoleon and the art of the empire style focuses on empire style, which is said to be the most luxe in history. 465 huntington avenue. near museum road. 617.267.9300. www.mfa.org


knight time.
release your inner biker chick with burberry's new knight bag. this badass bag is made of black leather, is covered in metal studs and keeps your personal stuff under lock and key. true fashion noire. 2 copley place. near stuart. 617.266.3200. www.burberry.com


fab flora.
trees may be shedding their colors, but the breathtaking hues of the fall collection at winston flowers will leave you drooling for more. unusual designs make a great centerpiece. leaf peeping is over. 176 federal street. at high. 800.457.4901. www.winstonflowers.com


down and dirty.
think spa treatments are a dime a dozen? you clearly haven't experienced the rasul mud treatment at giuliano spa. enter a specially designed room reminiscent of ancient bathing rituals for the rich and royal. bring on the mud, which can be massaged on by a technician or your partner. the rest involves heat, steam and herbs. 338 newbury street. at hereford. 617.262.2220. www.g2ospasalon.com


a (much) better brew.
forget trendy ales and lightweight lagers. boston brewmaster sam adams will soon release its strongest brew in the history of beer making. utopias hits the market this month, and only 12,000 bottles will be released worldwide. $100 a pop and a whopping 25.6 percent alcohol by volume. www.samadams.com
