It’s officially fall and now I am wishing for actual fall weather! Ha! Are you looking at your sweaters wistfully too? Sigh.

Thankfully, we can all enjoy a little bit of fall style in this ninety-degree heat by rocking fall nail polish and handbags in autumn hues. Love that!

As we move into the fall season, traditional autumn hues are hot for the fall season. In addition, we are seeing a lot of suede, the continuation of wide leg and classic cut pants, as well as timeless styles. In general, people are shying away from overt trends without lasting power. I love the chic look of fall 2024.

What are you loving this fall season? Have you stocked up on fall nail polish, anonymous handbags, classic blazers, and cozy sweaters yet?

Thanks for stopping by!

How cute is this little mini bag from 3.1 Phillip Lim! Love! I wanted to add a studded handbag this fall to my collection, and when I saw this little Origami bag from 3.1 Phillip Lim, I knew I had to have it! The leather is soft, thick, and high quality. Love!

I love a studded handbag. When I noticed they are trending this season, I felt like a new one in my wardrobe was in order. The 3.1 Phillip Lim Origami bag is available in multiple styles Phillip Lim’s collection. So, when I spotted one with studs, I was in love. There is also a tote version I am falling in love with too, but I digress. . .

The mini Origami bag from 3.1 Phillip Lim offers ample room for my everyday essentials which include my wallet, keys, lipstick, and phone.

The interior is lined in a sturdy fabric which gives the bag strength and helps it keep its shape. The interior also includes a slim pocket. This bag is a good size for daily use as well as use for evening occasions.

The 3.1 Phillip Lim Origami mini bag cannot be worn over the shoulder. It can be worn handheld or on your forearm. That being said, it is soft and comfortable, so I don’t have an issue with holding it. Actually, I prefer wearing this cute little bag on my forearm.

There is a magnetic closure on the bag which is strong and keeps everything secure. The drawstring on the side is purely ornamental. I love how it looks!

The 3.1 Phillip Lim Origami mini bag is a fun handbag I can use daily as well as into the evening. It is extremely high quality and the leather is super soft. Love that!

You will see my wear this bag a lot! Five out of five stars!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hermes nail polish fall 2024 review

Hermes nail polish fall 2024: Hermes Vert Bronze nail polish / Hermes Bleu Agate nail polish / Hermes Brilliant Beige Glace lipstick /

How pretty are the two fall 2024 nail polish colors from the autumn Hermes beauty collection! Love! For the fall season, Hermes is giving us a neutral brown with a slightly olive tinge as well as a darker blue-grey hue. Both of these nail polish colors offer traditional autumn vibes and work perfectly with a fall wardrobe. Love that!

If you are looking for a neutral which plays well with everything, Hermes Vert Bronze nail polish will be your jam! For something less traditional, Hermes Bleu Agate nail polish offers fall vibes and a fashion-forward look. It is my favorite hue!

I tested out the Hermes nail polish fall 2024 collection with one base coat and two coats of colors. The polish is chip resistant and applies smoothly. No streaking! Love that! They are both cream polishes and offer a clean finish.

So, without further ado, here are the two nail polish colors from Hermes for the fall 2024 season.

In addition to the two nail polish colors from the Hermes fall 2024 beauty collection, I picked up this lipstick too. It’s a very light neutral hue which can easily be worn to the office and on a daily basis. It’s a great alternative to the pinks I usually gravitate towards. The formula is moisturizing, applies smoothly, and stays put too. Love!
