This fall season, the styles are getting more dressed up! Blazers are a must for pairing with jeans, and jeans are moving away from skinny styles and towards joggers, wide leg jeans, flares, and bell bottoms. Boots are a fall staple, and this fall the streets are loving western styles, classic chelsea styles, and metallic hues. Also look for understated and neutral nails, as well as travel pieces such as this fabulous makeup bag + organizer which can be used daily at home, on the go, for the gym, and also for travel. Love it!

Handbags for fall are trending towards hobos, small or mini bags, and non-logo bags. This season, handbags are chic and classic. Look for beautiful leathers, faux leathers, craftsmanship, and fabrications. Flashy logos are over.

Rainy day event outfit

rainy day event outfit ideas

Wearing: blue and silver earrings / puffy faux leather jacket / dress (original post here, current version here) / black handbag / fall nail polish / boots (old, current version here) /

This is one of my favorite dresses, and I rarely have the opportunity to wear it! I purchased it in the fall of 2019 to wear to fashion week, and then in early 2020, everything shut down. This meant my dress just hung in my closet for quite some time! Now that events are starting to make a comeback, I finally had an opportunity to wear my dress again. Yay!

Last week, when it was raining here (yes, we got rain! Yay!), I attended an event at the Olympic Club which was originally scheduled in 2020 and had to be postponed for obvious reasons. It was so nice to finally be able to have an in-person event! The Bay Area has really been shut down, so it is only now that life is starting to look normal; including rush hour traffic, but I digress. . .

This dress is really fun because it looks like a skirt and top, but it is one piece. It is really easy and comfortable to wear, plus, it makes people think you are good at tucking in your top. haha I love the new versions of this dress in stores for fall, maybe I should pick up another one now that I have places to go! Love!

If you are looking for an investment jacket, this one is fabulous. I purchased it last year and the brand continues to have it on the market. It is a classic puffer jacket, and since it is faux, you can wear it in the rain. Love that! I’m looking forward to staying cozy in it again this year. If you are in the market for a fabulous and cozy jacket, I highly recommend this one!

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: pink blazer / Dior fall nail polish / Chanel fall nail polish / black tweed blazer / chocolate brown pouch / G buckle belt / caramel hobo bag / top handle bag / western style boots / black hobo bag /

Fall is finally, officially, here! Yay! Too bad temperatures are back up in the nineties. Hopefully we get a fall weather pattern very soon! I am ready for warm tea, cool nights, and pumpkin spice everything. Don’t judge me. haha

Let’s get back on topic, what’s trending this week! Hobo bags are exploding. They are everywhere. If you haven’t snapped one up yet, now is the time to grab one that you love. Any style of hobo bag works well this fall season. Look for structured hobos, slouchy hobos, moon shaped hobos, and try to stick with neutral tones. Although many designers are showing hobos covered in logos, try to steer clear of the logo look and choose something in a beautiful leather or faux leather. Logo bags are not chic right now.

If you can only get one thing to update your fall wardrobe this year, make sure it is a blazer. A blazer, whether taken from a power suit, or in a tweed, is hotter than hot. Blazers are instant outfit elevators, updaters, and chic makers. You need a blazer in your life. The black tweed one I am showing above is priced under $100, so you don’t have to break the bank to rock the blazer look this fall. Love that!

Also, instant wardrobe updaters this autumn season include neutral nail polish, berry-hued nail polish, and western style boots. Love!
