BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: holiday nail polish / fall nail polish / green cross body bag / chocolate brown chain pouch / top handle bag / G buckle belt / ivory moon shaped bag / caramel hobo bag / foundation powder / suede western style boot / dark wash wide leg jeans (short, also avl in reg and tall) /

Fall is bringing us so many opportunities to rock our new wide leg jeans, boots, and hobo bags! Love! In addition, a few holiday sparkles are starting to come our way! Love that!

See that beautiful deep hue from Dior above? That is part of their fabulous holiday nail polish collection. Stay tuned for an upcoming review!!

Handbags are always a great buy since the styles in 2023 look to be similar to what we are enjoying right now in 2022. Unless you plan to rock the oversized, trash-bag handbag trend coming our way in 2023, you can stick with hobo bags, moon shaped bags, small handbags, and mini bags; just like me! I didn’t do the trash bag trend two decades ago, and I don’t plan to do it this time either.

What are you loving for fall right now?

That 1980s vibe

wearing: large hoop earrings / sunglasses / stripe crop top / green handbag / G buckle belt / vented classic jeans (under $100) / fall nail polish / high top sneakers /

Raise your hand if you wore acid wash jeans, stone wash, and sand wash jeans in the late 1980s? My hand is way up! These jeans evoke that late 1980s vibe, and I am here for it!

OK, I will be honest, I cannot tell if these jeans are acid wash or stone wash, or some other wash that is new. They look like either acid wash or stone wash. The description does not specify the wash. Of course, back in the day, it was very important for customers to know what type of wash they were buying, since it was an important part of denim fashion! Remember that?

In addition to 1980s denim washes, the silhouettes from that time period are hot again this season too. Look for classic cuts, and higher waists. Of course, 1970s styles are hot right now too such as wide leg and flare. I plan to rock both this season!

To make a full, 1980s vibe I paired my jeans with high top sneakers and a crop top. This is a very late 1980s look! If you plan to rock a crop top this season, remember to pair it with higher waisted jeans. Crop tops do not go with low rise jeans.

This was a fun outfit to wear the other day when we ate out in Japantown San Jose at Okayama Sushi. These sneakers were nice and comfy for walking around, and high tops, which were hot in the 1980s, are hot again now!

For a full 1980s vibe, I wore my green handbag for a fun pop of color. It is so much fun wearing fall outfits now!

National Handbag Day 2022

Happy National Handbag Day 2022! Today is a fabulous day for all of us. If you are here, I am sure it is because you share my love for handbags! Yay!

Today, we can celebrate our love for handbags by wearing any handbag from our collections which moves us. In fact, feel free to change your handbag during the day! Why not wear one in the morning, a different handbag during the day, and switch to another bag for the evening! Love that!

If you are looking for some fall handbag inspiration, check out my fall handbag capsule here. Wondering about fall handbag trends? Look for hobo bags, small or mini bags, invest in a green bag, classic flap shoulder bags, and wear your cross-body bags on your shoulder, not cross body. Think 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s inspiration.

Here are the handbags on my current rotation:

Which handbags are you currently loving this fall season?

Happy National Handbag Day 2022!

XOXO
