This summer has been so busy, it has been hard to find a day to meet up with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun! We finally found a break in both our schedules and were able to meet up for coffee, a walk, and catching up!

Although it is still technically summer, I decided to create an outfit that worked for summer yet offered some fall vibes. Pairing this neutral tee with my neutral joggers, handbag, and sneakers, helped create a fall vibe. Hopefully it encourages cooler temperatures and more pumpkin spice to hit store shelves! I am still waiting for the cereal. Yum!

Dawn looked fabulous too with on trend, wide leg jeans, and duster. Too bad we didn’t get a picture together! That’s a blogger fail on our part! At least we had fun and enjoyed snacks from Cocola at Santana Row.

These sneakers are super fun and provide the arch support I need for walking around. I love how they are a fall neutral hue too! The green-khaki sneakers paired with my chocolate brown handbag is a great pairing as we head into fall. I look forward to wearing them together as we move into the cooler season!

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: moon shaped bag (under $300) / Chanel fall nail polish / Dior fall nail polish / black shoulder bag / golden hoop earrings (under $100) / classic black satchel / high top sneakers / black hobo bag / denim joggers /

We are moving towards fall! Schools are starting next week, kids are leaving for college, and stores are starting to stock pumpkin spice. Don’t hate, I am a huge pumpkin spice fan. Love it!

As we move into the fall season, and dream of cooler days, we are starting to pick up fall items we can all wear now. The easiest way to rock the fall trends is with nail polish and handbags! Nail polish for fall is moving towards classic and autumn hues. Look for traditional fall colors in the berry family and also neutrals. Dior and Chanel have fabulous fall nail polish collections. You can check out my Dior review here, and I am working on photographing all the Chanel colors-so stay tuned. My review is coming!

Boots, sneakers, and loafers are also moving in for fall. Look for western inspiration, street sneakers, lug soles, and classic loafers. Speaking of accessories, logomania is on its way out, so look for clean leathers and vegan leathers on hobo bags, shoulder bags, moon shaped bags, bucket bags, and soft totes. You can still wear your pouch bags and camera bags from last year too.

Coach Luna bag review

August 11, 2022 in General Fashion / Handbags tagged coach / handbag reviews / hobos / shoulder bags by Bay Area Fashionista

How cute is this handbag! One of the big trends for the fall 2022 season is the moon shaped handbag. The new Coach Luna bag is the perfect moon shaped bag for rocking this trend while looking chic. Love it!

The moon shaped handbag trend arose from the hobo handbag trend. It is a slightly more structured version of a hobo without being a larger handbag. Moon shaped bags offer the hobo look without the bulk that comes with a hobo bag. This is a great handbag style for minimalism while being on the cutting edge of current handbag trends. You know I love that!

As soon as the Coach Luna bag popped up on the Coach website and in stores, I fell in love. This handbag is the right size for all of my daily essentials which include a wallet, lipstick, keys, and phone.

In addition to holding my daily essentials, there is still room for sunglasses or other things I need to pop inside my handbag. The Coach Luna is a great size for everyday wear.

One of the things I love about my Coach Luna bag is that the leather is amazing! Coach is known for having high quality leather and craftsmanship at affordable prices. With the Luna bag, Coach does not disappoint. This handbag is made from strong, pebbled leather and offers superior craftsmanship. I am really impressed with this bag, especially for the price! Who doesn’t love a fabulous IT bag under $500! I know I do!

Inside the Coach Luna bag you will find one open pocket. This pocket does not fit a phone, but it does fit folded bills and credit cards. If you don’t want to carry a wallet, this is an optional place for those items. I am just using it to fold and store receipts to keep my interior organized.

What do you think of this beautiful handbag? Do you plan to snap one up and rock the moon shaped bag trend this season?
