Pointed toe pumps and shoes are baaaa-aaack! This classic shoe style is hotter then hot for the spring 2018 season. Get ready to find pointed toes on everything from pumps to mules to boots! There will be pointed toes on every heel height imaginable; so there will be a pointed toe style for everyone!

Every occasion this spring season will allow for a pointed toe. You will find casual, dressy and formal shoes with pointed toes. If you already own classic shoes with a pointy toe, then you are in luck! If not, this is a great season to invest in classic pointed toe pumps, or something fun and seasonal.

What type of pointed toe shoes do you like for spring? Is this a shoe trend you will be rocking this warm weather season?

Circle bags for spring 2018

Circle bags are a huge trend for spring 2018. It is one of the three most important spring 2018 handbag trends we are seeing on the streets right now! While white handbags and brightly colored handbags are hotter then hot for spring, circle bags are the most sought-after silhouette in the handbag world this season.

For the spring 2018 season, circle bags are being shown in all sizes, fabrications, and colors imaginable. Plus, you can find what you are looking for in any price point that fits your budget this season; love that! I rounded up some fabulous circle bags for spring 2018, I hope you love them!

These are some of my favorite circle bags for the spring 2018 season! They are so much fun to wear, and the round silhouette is fresh and new. Love!

When wearing your circle bag this season, the best way to rock it is over the shoulder, or hand-held. Cross-body is starting to look tired; but, this doesn’t mean you can’t wear it cross-body, you can, just keep in mind that trends are heading away from that look.

I have to admit, I love this spring handbag trend. I have had a larger circle tote for a couple of years now and love it. I recently purchased the Cult Gaia Luna bag, and the Chloe Pixie bag; which are both circles. I also have my eye on the Brahmin bag which was everywhere on the streets of New York during fashion week. This is a handbag trend I am seriously into!

What do you think of the circle bag trend? Will you be rocking it this season?

The last model has walked off the catwalk in New York for fall 2018, and the fashion world is left with a whole new set of trends to covet for the next cold weather season. While some trends from spring 2018 proved to have staying power into fall 2018, many others fell by the wayside. To replace them, new trends have emerged for fall 2018, and they are nothing short of fabulous.

There are so many hot trends for the fall 2018 season from New York Fashion Week, I could write a book! So, to streamline things, here are the top five trends for fall 2018 from the New York Fashion Week runways.

Small bags dominated the runways for fall/winter 2018/2019. The most spotted type of runway handbags for the new cold weather season were small circle bags, and small box bags. These two styles also proved to be hot on the streets for spring 2018 at New York Fashion Week, so these are the two handbag styles to invest in now; just don’t wear them cross body! Over the shoulder, or hand-held please!

Ultra Violet may be the color of the year, and it did make an appearance on the runways, but the real color stars on the fall 2018 runways at New York Fashion Week were yellow, blue, and green. Look for bold shades of royal and midnight blue, mustard, soft sunshine, military green, and light forest green. Red is sitting happily in 4th place.

Gone are the days of basic long sleeves. Sleeves for fall 2018 are pumped up. Look for varying shapes of volume in sleeves and shoulders; as well as separated or partly detached sleeves. Sleeves and shoulders are your way to make a statement this fall.

Classic trench coats are all well and good, but for fall 2018 look for the redefined trench coat. Coats are belted with exaggerated lines, shoulders, and sleeves. Look for a statement making trench coat this fall!
