The fall season is bringing us a continuation of classic nail polish colors and chic, timeless style. Love that!

Nail polish colors for fall 2023 are being shown by designers in dark, deep red hues as well as brownish-reds. We are seeing nail color with understated sparkles as well as classic cream polishes. In addition to dark reds and reddish-browns, nail polish for fall is also being shown in shades of orange. The orange color trend is also hitting apparel. If dark red, reddish-brown, or shades of orange are not your cup of tea, we are also seeing classic ballerina pink, and sheer hues such as Osee from Dior for the fall season.

The beige hues from last spring are being shelved for fall in favor of either color, or pale hues. If you are finding yourself favoring the pastel trend in apparel instead of traditional autumn hues, then ballerina pink or Osee from Dior might be your go-to nail polish for the fall season.

spring 2024 color trends pantone new york fashion week nyfw ss24

Swatches from Pantone, read press release here.

New York Fashion Week kicked off today, and with it will come new trends to covet, and a whole new color palette to organize our wardrobes around. How fabulous is the Pantone color palette for the spring 2024 season?! I am in LOVE!!!

Designers from New York favored beautiful, traditional spring hues as well as a few lighter versions of colors I consider fall-like. I love how Pantone showed off their swatches this season in an organized row, I feel like I can see the complimentary colors together in the perfect order.

I am always a sucker for shades of blue, green, and yellow. As it turns out, pink has faded away! Unless you consider “Desert Flower” in the pink family, then pink away! To me it is more of a coral, within the orange family, but feel free to discuss.

My favorite colors from the Pantone spring 2024 color palette are Mint, Capri, Pastel Lilac, Chambray Blue and Marlin. Start saving your coin! I have a feeling there will be a lot on my wish list, as well as yours, for the spring 2024 season; and the runways have barely begun! Yikes!

When it comes to neutrals, it looks like shades of grey and beige are trending for spring. The white hue is very bright! Make sure you keep some bleach on hand this spring season to keep those whites bright!

As you start to store your spring/summer apparel and accessories from 2023, you can use this color palette to help you choose what to keep, or what to sell or donate. The Pantone trend report is a great guide to use now as we store our warm weather wardrobes, as well as this upcoming spring season when we start to shop!

If you are a designer, you can purchase physical swatches directly from Pantone at Pantone.com.

You can read all about the new spring 2024 color palette from Pantone for New York Fashion Week online at Pantone.com.

Which colors are your favorite? Do you think one of these colors will become the color of 2024? We will find out the answer to that question in December, so stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for my New York Fashion Week spring 2024 trend report!

Mirrored handbags for fall

Mirrored handbags are back! While metallic handbags have been in style for quite some time, highly polished, mirrored bags have come and go. Well, they are currently in go mode!

This fall 2023 season, you will see many styles of highly polished, mostly silver, handbags on store shelves. You can find a mirrored handbag in almost style of bag you can think of except extra-large bags. The mirrored bags we are seeing for fall 2023 are mainly, mini, small and medium in size. While a few large ones exist, the main trend is on the medium or smaller side.

In my personal opinion, mirrored bags are a huge trend, and the only way to make this an investment purchase is to buy a dressy clutch or mini bag which can also be used for formal affairs. Otherwise, mirrored bags for daytime are going to be a one or two season wonder. I think the heart is super cute to use formally as well as any clutch or small, wallet-on-chain sized bag, such as the chain bag shown above.

While this trend is marketed as a daily handbag trend, you have to remember these bags are mirrored. What happens when you touch a mirror? Fingerprints and smudges happen, that’s what! If you go all-in on this trend, be sure to carry a small, soft cloth with you to rub out any smudges which accumulate during the day.

So, what is my take on this trend in handbags for fall? I say, if you want a fun bag and you don’t mind it being good for one or two seasons, go all in! If you are looking more for an investment handbag, but love how the mirrored handbags look, go for a mini bag, clutch or smaller style. This way, when the trend ends, you are left with a handbag you can wear to formal and semi-formal events.
