fall 2018 it bags

Although the fall 2018 season isn’t quite here yet, it has hit stores with a vengeance. Since I couldn’t possibly walk around in a cozy fall sweater just yet, I could walk around with a new fall 2018 it bag on my arm!

Handbags, aside from nail polish, are the easiest way to feel like you have a head start on fall. Although makeup can also be worn now, the fall 2018 beauty looks are little too dark for our warm summer temperatures; and they look funny with shorts. Whereas nail polish and handbags always seem to be able to transcend seasons, and easily shift us from hot to cool weather with ease. Perhaps that is why I love handbags and nail polish so much!

For the fall 2018 season, we are still seeing circles, geometric shapes, and ties on our bags. In addition, we will begin to see more fringe as the season heads towards winter. When shopping for a fall 2018 handbag, we need to watch for these silhouette trends, as well as look for hues which are easy to wear on a daily basis. Perhaps that is why I am drawn to black and brown bags this year. As shapes become more prominent in the handbag world, I feel the need to counterbalance them with neutral hues.

My fall 2018 handbag wish list is quite long. Unless I win the lottery, I won’t be investing in everything I want. For fall, I plan to pick up a new shoulder bag, and a new tote. The question is, which ones will I choose?

Can you believe the 4th of July is almost here?! I’m not quite sure where the time has gone. To celebrate this patriotic season, why not invest in a fabulous red, white, or blue handbag! It will be the perfect way to complete your 4th of July look. Love that!

The top three bags in the photo set above are on my wish list. Aren’t they fabulous?! The white shoulder bag also comes in red, and it is absolutely stunning in person. That blue triangle bag is a cult favorite. Triangles are starting to emerge as an important shape in handbags; this is the one that put triangle bags on the map!

Red, white, and blue are handbag colors which are also being shown in the fall collections. Some of these bags are pre-fall, and even fall 2018! So, if you do invest in a red, white or blue handbag, it will have longevity. I’m loving white bags for the fall season. Of course, I’m a sucker for a red bag in the fall too; oh, and blue is my favorite color!

I’m loving backpacks. and shoulder bags which double as cross body bags, for the 4th of July. They are so easy to carry around while attending all the fun festivities on Independence Day!

Which patriotic handbag is your favorite? Are you a red, white or blue handbag fan? Which handbag style if your favorite to wear on the 4th of July?

Thanks for stopping by!

Logo bags for 2018

Well, it appears that logo bags are here to stay; at least for now. I thought the logo bag trend was fleeting, but designers seem to be loving it and showcasing various logo designs in future collections. So, at least for 2018, the logo bag is here to stay.

There are several ways to wear the logo bag trend. You can go with a traditional “CC” on a Chanel bag or “GG” on a Gucci bag, or you can go the very trendy route and opt for the entire designer’s name written on the bag. As you can see in the examples above, designers are making sure their names are the focal point of their bags.

The trendy logo bags we are seeing for 2018 tend to be more casual then the traditional small logos displayed on a bag’s clasp. This makes the current crop of logo bags easy to wear everyday and on the weekends. If you are looking for something fun to wear everyday, and don’t mind a one to two season bag, then a logo bag might be your thing!

What do you think of the logo bag trend? Will you be wearing it this year?
