We finally have some fall weather! I love that the cooler temps are coinciding with the official start of fall over the weekend. Love that!
This gave me a chance to wear my fall sweater paired with this cute little hobo bag for a bit of a fall vibe. I am really enjoying all the fall colors this season. Now, hopefully we get some fall foliage to go with them!

Which fall colors are you loving this autumn season?
Are you loving all these fall nail polish colors? I am waiting on one Chanel fall nail color which was delayed in shipping. As soon as I receive it, I will post my review. Apologies for the delay! Of course, Dior is posted on the blog and Hermes is also on the way!
So, I said I would stay away from a suede handbag this fall season, but I guess I am weak. This hybrid suede and leather bucket bag caught my eye and I am in love. It is super comfortable and fits a few extras on cold days such as gloves, a hat, and a scarf.
Then, in my moment of weakness, I picked up this small little hobo bag in suede. I have been eyeing this bag for a couple of seasons but couldn’t decide on a color I didn’t already own in a similar style. When this suede version popped up, I caved and bought it. The suede is really soft, and the bag is extremely sturdy. Full review hits the blog next week!
This fall season continues to be a celebration of high-quality handbags sans logos. I love this trend of not being flashy and also transcending trends. Love it!
Also, there are so many cute and cozy sweaters this fall season! Look for an understated and timeless sweater to wear daily. Love!
I finally broke down and bought a suede bag! Of course, I was quite hesitant, so I bought a hybrid which is suede on one side, and leather on the other. I have to admit, I am in love!
J.Crew has a really popular bucket bag named the Berkeley Bucket Bag. It comes in a large range of colors, as well as this suede and leather combo bag. I decided to buy it because I felt like the bag fit into the north/south tote trend without being a large tote, and it also fit into the slouchy bucket bag trend; well, because it is actually a bucket bag. haha
Instead of my usual handbag review where I show what fits inside, I figured you would already know that daily purse essentials will fit inside this bag. In addition to my wallet, lipstick, keys, phone, and Kleenex, this J.Crew Berkeley Bucket Bag can fit gloves and a snow hat on cold days, as well as a scarf, snacks, and a water bottle. It is really roomy!
Inside the J.Crew Berkeley Bucket Bag, the bag is wide open. For small objects you don’t want to lose, I would recommend adding a small pouch or clutch to keep things organized. In order to secure the bag, there is a tie at the top. I have not used the tie; I tend to just leave the bag open. If I go somewhere where pickpocketing is a concern, I will use a pouch for small items, place a scarf on the top of the bag and tie it to secure it.
I love the slouchy look and feel of this bucket bag. Plus, it is priced under $200, love that! So, if you are looking for a handbag which is affordable yet fits into multiple handbag trends for fall, this is the one! There are plenty of colors to choose from and it has the look of a north/south tote, a bucket bag, and can fit into the role of a medium hobo bag; despite not looking like a hobo bag. Love!
This will be a fun bag to carry throughout the fall season, and beyond!
Thanks for stopping by!
