New York Fashion Week is underway, and this means the hottest new trends for the fall/winter 2018/2019 season are being shown to us! Of course, my favorite trend to know about ahead of time are the trends in colors.

Pantone has released their seasonal color report today, showing us the top ten colors for the fall 2018 season, as well as the top five neutral or “classic” hues we need to be wearing in the fall 2018 season, and in winter 2019!

Of course, we knew we would see the color of 2018 in the color palette for the next cold weather season; Ultra Violet. In addition to lavender, and ultra violet, designers are showing both a fall yellow hue, and a bright, cherry yellow shade. Yellow has been emerging over the past couple of seasons as an important color in fashion; this means it is time to start adding this happy hue to our wardrobes! If you don’t like to wear yellow, try a handbag or a pair of shoes!

My favorite colors from the palette are Ultra Violet, Nebulas Blue, and Quetzal Green. Which colors are you drawn towards?

Is anyone else glad to see that blush has finally dropped off the color palette? It’s a pretty color, but seemed to stick around too long; in my opinion.

Stay tuned! I am in New York attending fashion week, and will bring you runway coverage as the week progresses.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring 2018 handbag trends: candy colored bags

Spring 2018 handbag trends are splashed all over store shelves; and already walking down the street. There are quite a few  trends to watch this year, but the two biggest trends in handbags for the spring 2018 season are white handbags, and brightly colored handbags. This contrast in handbag colors offers something for everyone. Neutral taste? Go white. Make a statement? Go bright!

Brightly colored handbags are so much fun this spring season! All the colors of the rainbow are hot, and on trend. You can go with a rainbow bright hue, or a sweet candy shade. Brightly colored handbags for spring can be found in both solid hues, and color blocked styles. You can’t go wrong with color this season! Love!

If you have a bright handbag in your closet from a previous season, pull it out, and rock it this spring. If not, this is a great time to invest in a fabulous handbag, in your favorite color! There is no right or wrong color this season; all shades of the rainbow are in.

When shopping for a bright bag, I highly recommend investing in one which is a classic IT bag style such as the Balenciaga City Tote, the Loewe Puzzle bag, or the Gucci Marmont. This way, when the season passes by, you can still rock your bag since it’s a classic. If you decide you don’t to keep it after this season, classic styles are easier to resell on consignment; and will fetch a higher price then trendier styles. I’m all about the investment bag!

This spring 2018 season I plan to re-wear my purple Chanel bag from who knows how many years ago; plus my blue Balenciaga City Tote from 2009, and my red JW Anderson Pierce bag from last year. Of course, I might have to add something to my collection this year!  I could use a yellow, green, pink, or orange bag! Right?!

What do you think of the brightly colored handbag trend for the spring season? Will you be wearing this trend?

Did you love the cold shoulder trend last year? It’s baaaa-aaaack! The cold shoulder trend was all over the runways for spring 2018, and it has returned to store shelves, and the streets, for the warm weather season in 2018. Love that!

The cold shoulder top trend was so much fun last year. It added just the right amount of sass to otherwise ordinary sleeves; spicing up outfits with ease. For spring 2018, we are seeing cold shoulders, plus the return of statement sleeves, and tie sleeves.

I love tie sleeves for spring 2018. It is such a fun way to wear the cold shoulder trend this season. The ties add a re-fresh to the cold shoulder trend which gives last year’s look an update. The tie sleeves are also a flirty way to make a casual outfit more fun then an everyday jeans and tee ensemble.

In addition to tie sleeves, and cold shoulders, designers are giving us statement sleeves with volume, sleeves with multiple cut-outs, and sleeves with cuffs. To be blunt, ordinary sleeves are out this spring. Look for something special about the sleeves on your spring clothing

What is your take on the statement sleeve trend this season? Is this something you will wear again? What about tie sleeves? Do you like the look?
