Move over Viva Magenta, 2024 is all about Peach Fuzz! While I have to admit, I was hoping for a shade of green or pink, peach has its place. It is not a color I will run to the stores and stock up on, but it can find itself in lipstick and maybe nail polish for me.

Peach Fuzz is being found in fashion and interior design in 2024. This hue is soft, calming and warm. It plays well with the softer color palette we have seen designers play with recently, especially with designers in Milan and Paris. We will be seeing Peach Fuzz, or variations of it, in both solid hued garments, accessories, and make-up, as well as mixed into patterns. Peach Fuzz will be more prominent as we move into warmer weather seasons such as spring, summer, and cruise.

I found a few peachy clothing, accessory, interior, and beauty items around the web which can get you started on the color of 2024 Peach Fuzz:

What do you think of Peach Fuzz for 2024? Will you be rocking this new hue? Or will you be gravitating towards other colors from current color pallette?

I won’t be rocking Peach Fuzz from head to toe, but you might spot it on my nails, or on my lipstick. Time will tell, often colors grow on me.

Soft and slouchy wins the race! The winter season, and as we move into 2024, is giving us soft and slouchy handbags. While the anonymous handbag is still king, the appreciation for high quality leather, which melts in your hands, is all the rage.

This winter 2024 season, and as we move into 2024, look for soft and slouchy bags, as well as east/west satchels. Doctor bags, such as the Givenchy Antigona, are also relevant.

So, without further ado, here are the main, emerging handbag trends for the winter 2024 season.

Slouchy hobos: While not pictured above, the slouchy hobo is hotter than hot. Look for soft and squishy hobo bags you can hug.

Slouchy tote bag: Soft and slouchy totes can be any size from small to extra large. They just need to be squishy and huggable.

The north/south tote: The north/south tote is ideal in a soft leather, but structured versions work too.

The east/west satchel: This emerging trend is expected to pop in the new year. Why not hop on the trend early? Look for both structured and slouchy versions of the east/west satchel. Pro tip: Coach has one coming out in the spring if you want one that doesn’t break the bank.

Slouchy satchels: The Row Margaux is the hottest slouchy satchel in town, and it is usually sold out. If you can spare the cash, and find one in stock, you are gold. If not, look for any satchel with a slouch.

Trends which are staying put:

The anonymous handbag: logos are still out. Look for beautifully made handbags which are logo-less or have a small brand stamp you need to move up close to see.

Hobo bags: Structured or slouchy, anything goes. Hobos are going strong in the new year.

Structured satchels: While slouchy ones are hot, structured satchels are still important. Think Mulberry zipped Bayswater, Saint Laurent Sac du Jour, or Givenchy Antigona. Keep those classic satchels on repeat!

The classic shoulder bag: Beautiful shoulder bags, both structured and slouchy, which bear a high-quality clasp and are logo-less, are still hot. Look for shoulder bags by Savette, Mulberry, Toteme, Bottega Veneta, The Row, Ralph Lauren, Coach, and more.

That’s it! For the winter 2024 season, look for soft and slouchy, anonymous, high-quality handbags you can cherish for years and years.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more winter coverage!

Three cheers for the nail polish trends of the holiday season 2023! Hip hip, hooray! Hip hip, hooray! Hip hip, hooray!

It is so refreshing to not see red nail polish trending for the holiday season. That isn’t to say you can’t wear red, if you love red, go ahead and rock it this holiday season; you can even add a sparkling topcoat to make it festive. My point is that the nail polish trends this holiday season are not as obvious this year. It is fun to see something different.

If you love red, that is the obvious classic hue for the holiday season. You can wear red and offer a timeless vibe on your nails. If you are looking for something a little bit more avant-garde, or new, then the current non-classic trends are for you.

This holiday season metallic shades of nail polish, and variations on black nail polish, are all the rage. You can let your nails sparkle and compliment your jewelry with a metallic tone or adopt a vampy vibe with a shade of black. Love that!

If you work in a professional environment, I always recommend sticking to something understated such as a shade of pink or red. If you think you can push it, go for a metallic hue and stay away from black. Black nail polish is the most avant-garde choice. If you work in a creative environment, or a casual environment, you can rock black, metallic, or any nail polish color you are in the mood to wear.

My favorite versions of metallic nail polish, and shades of black, are from Dior and Chanel. They both add dimension to their black hues, and their metallic nail polish colors are fresh and unexpected. You cannot go wrong with one of their polishes this holiday season!
