BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: foundation powder / Chanel fall nail polish / Dior fall nail polish / concealer / chain pouch in chocolate brown / golden hoop earrings (under $100) / casual blue dress (avl in tons of colors, under $50 / faux fur boot / black shoulder bag / denim joggers /

These faux fur boots are trending again! I loved wearing these boots last year when the weather was cool. They have treads on the soles, which is great in icy conditions. I also love that they come in several colors. While black is trending right now, I also own the ivory pair and I love the other colors this boot comes in as well. These are great boots for the cool weather we are looking forward to in a couple of months! Love!

Everyone is shopping for fall right now! This blue dress works well year-round and can easily be worn during the fall season with a scarf and/or jacket. It also looks cute with sneakers, high top sneakers, and casual boots. While the blue dress is trending right now, I love the black version, and I hope to pick up another one in a fall color such as a shade of brown or berry hue. Love it!

These joggers are also trending! They are perfect to wear now and well into the fall season. Since they are a traditional fall color, they work well for the autumn season. I love my pair! If you have seen me wearing them, I am wearing one size too large since I bought them when I wasn’t done losing weight. I just belt them, and they work, but the way they look on the model is what they will look like if you get the right size. The denim is super soft and comfortable, I am addicted! You will love them too if you haven’t already snapped up a pair.

If you aren’t ready for fall clothing and shoes, a handbag is a great way to start building your wardrobe for fall. Look for fall hues, neutrals, and shoulder bags. Love the ones trending this week, pictured above.

Chanel nail polish fall 2022 review

Chanel nail polish fall 2022 collection pictured from left: Chanel Emotion / Chanel Enigme / Chanel Spontane / Chanel Harmonie /

The fall 2022 Chanel nail polish collection is here, and the collection is huge! There are twelve, yes, twelve colors in the Chanel nail polish collection for the fall 2022 season. This collection is filled with varying neutral hues as well as berries hues. There is a classic nail polish shade from Chanel for the fall 2022 season for everyone in this collection.

For the record, I purchase every bottle of Chanel nail polish that I show on this blog. Therefore, I was not able to purchase all twelve shades from the fall 2022 collection. I would never wear all of that nail polish, so not only is it pricey, but it would also be wasteful. Instead, I chose a few colors from the collection to show you, which I knew I would wear.

All of the colors in this collection are beautiful, and Chanel is fairly consistent with being chip resistant, so despite not testing out all of the colors, I can assure you they should all be long lasting with one base coat, two coats of color, and a top coat. All twelve colors are cream polishes. The colors I tested applied smoothly without streaking in two coats. Love that!

The fall 2022 season is all about quiet luxury. We are moving into a season of minimalism where neutral hues and traditional autumn colors are king. Logos are over, and quality is in. This season, look for investment pieces which can build your wardrobe rather than trendy, one-season items. This is a simple season with a little bit of flair, so classic nails are a must. If neutral nails aren’t your thing, shades of red and berry hues will do just fine. Both color wheels are hot for fall! Love!

So, without further ado, here are the nail polish colors from the Chanel fall 2022 nail polish collection I purchased and photographed for you. Which color is your favorite?

Late summer into fall joggers

fall street style how to style nike dunks

wearing: statement earrings / sunglasses / puff sleeve tee (under $50) / G buckle belt / joggers / summer nail polish / chain pouch handbag / sneakers /

This summer has been so busy, it has been hard to find a day to meet up with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun! We finally found a break in both our schedules and were able to meet up for coffee, a walk, and catching up!

Although it is still technically summer, I decided to create an outfit that worked for summer yet offered some fall vibes. Pairing this neutral tee with my neutral joggers, handbag, and sneakers, helped create a fall vibe. Hopefully it encourages cooler temperatures and more pumpkin spice to hit store shelves! I am still waiting for the cereal. Yum!

Dawn looked fabulous too with on trend, wide leg jeans, and duster. Too bad we didn’t get a picture together! That’s a blogger fail on our part! At least we had fun and enjoyed snacks from Cocola at Santana Row.

These sneakers are super fun and provide the arch support I need for walking around. I love how they are a fall neutral hue too! The green-khaki sneakers paired with my chocolate brown handbag is a great pairing as we head into fall. I look forward to wearing them together as we move into the cooler season!
