BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: structured hobo bag / Dior fall nail polish / Chanel fall nail polish / moon shaped bag (under $500) / black twist top (under $100) / soft denim joggers / slip on loafers / suede western style boots /

So many fun pieces for transitioning from summer into fall! Love the neutral hues on both of these handbags. They are hot neutrals for the fall season, and all possible hobo handbag silhouettes are hotter than hot. Love that!

Nail polish for fall is offering us neutrals and berry hues. Loving these two colors for fall which are proving to be popular on the streets.

Elevated casual is also hot this fall. This black top is a casual fabric with a twist! (pun intended) It’s perfect for pairing with jeans for an elevated casual look or with trousers for a comfortable yet dressy look. This top will be part of my fall capsule wardrobe and I look forward to wearing it often and styling it in every way possible! Plus, it’s under $100. Love that!

Looking for an alternative to regular jeans? These joggers are ultra-soft and made from denim! They offer that denim feeling with a soft fabric that looks fabulous now as well as into the fall season. Love these joggers!

Fall shoes are trending! This season look for loafers and western style boots. These are the two hottest styles in footwear. Love that!

Nike by you custom sneakers

How many times have you looked for a pair of sneakers, and then not been excited about the available colorways? This has happened to me so many times! Over a decade ago, Nike started letting customers customize sneakers through their website. The original service was known as “Nike ID,” but has since evolved into “Nike by You.”

Every once in awhile I have gone onto Nike’s website and customized sneakers for myself. The last time I did this was in 2017, so it has been awhile! Normally I would customize a pair for either the gym or running. This time around, I wanted a neutral pair to wear as a street sneaker. I decided to customize a pair of Nike Air Zoom sneakers, and I love the result!

The Nike Air Zoom sneakers, which frequently appear on their website, often have a wavy design on the side. It gives off 1970s vides and offers a colorful look. I wanted the arch support and comfort of the Air Zoom, without the retro design and eye-catching colors, so when the Nike by You Air Zoom was offered in two designs, the wavy version and this woven version, I decided to customize the woven version!

The woven Air Zoom has a fresh look to it, and I love how Nike weaves fabric with leather. It has a nice texture and a modern look. I mixed a couple neutral hues and created a sneaker I can wear all year long, with pretty much anything. Love!

So, while you are putting your fall wardrobe together, and having trouble finding the right sneakers, check out Nike by You! There are several types of shoes you can customize, and Nike rotates the styles you can customize. Have fun with it!

Western boots for summer into fall

Wearing: sunglasses / golden hoops / navy puff sleeve tee / bracelets (under $50, local designer) / fall nail polish / moon shaped bag (under $300) / navy and white skirt (under $50) / suede western style boots (so comfy!) /

It might still be summer with summer weather, but I will try my hardest to make fall happen! I couldn’t wait any longer, so I pulled out my new western style boots I picked up last month. They are made from a super soft suede and the block heel hits just in the right place to double as arch support. Love that!

Since it is still summer weather, I paired my boots with this cool, flowing skirt which transcends seasons, and has a classic look. I love a skirt that will work for any season and won’t go out of style after one season! This one comes in tons of color combinations. Since it is so inexpensive, I might pick up a second one, I just cannot decide color! Which colors do you like?

I wore this outfit the other day to have lunch with my mom. The kids have started school, so it was the first time I was able to relax in quite some time. It was fun to head over to Bamboo Sushi and enjoy a few favorite items from their menu. Yum!

If you are local, and haven’t eaten at Bamboo Sushi yet, you have to go! Please order the cauliflower, it is delicious, and you will love it!

Are you trying to make fall happen too? Maybe if we all try, the weather will cool off! haha, so you think it would work? I’m ready for cooler temperatures, that’s for sure!!
