Designer or deal, woven hobo bags from top: hot designer IT bag / affordable version priced under $200 /

I haven’t done a designer or deal post in quite some time! This is a post type I definitely need to ensure I am keeping up on; especially since I just found this fabulous woven hobo bag for under $200! Isn’t is fabulous? It has the same look as the designer version we have all been eyeing on social media and on the streets.

Don’t worry, this woven hobo bag is a well known brand sold at well known department stores. It just happens to have the same style as the IT bag, and it comes with an affordable price tag. Love that!

So, you can spend over $1000 for the IT version, or you can pick up the similar style for under $200. Your choice!

BAF Weekly IT List

fall trends

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: beige tee (under $50) / Chanel fall nail polish / Dior fall nail polish / chocolate brown chain pouch / chunk knit cardigan sweater / lug sole boots (waterproof!) / grey satchel / sneakers (under $100) /

We are all gearing up for fall! This is the perfect time to stock up on basics for the upcoming fall season. Look for everyday tee’s, sweaters, shoes, and bags. Adding a bit of fall to our nails is also an easy way to move into the fall season while summer temperatures are still soaring.

I am loving the fall nail colors this year. Aren’t they fabulous? You can go for an iridescent metallic, or vivid neutral hue. Street sneakers are also a fabulous trend; and comfortable too! Also loving that the lug sole is still an important part of shoe fashion this season. These lug sole boots are waterproof too. Love!

Of course, it’s important to have at least one IT bag! You can go for a fun one, such as this chain pouch, or a practical yet fabulous everyday bag, such as this slouchy grey satchel. Or, you can go for both! Why not?

What are you excited about for fall?

Spring 2022 Color Trends from Pantone and NYFW

New York Fashion Week is underway! This means new and fabulous trends to covet for the upcoming spring/summer 2022 season. On the first day of New York Fashion Week every season, Pantone releases their color report which features the top colors from the runways in New York. Of course, they are always fabulous.

The spring 2022 season looks to remain bright, but maybe not as bright, as spring 2021. Designers are favoring vivid hues as well as breezy shades of neutrals. It looks like the perfect season to go pastel one day, and vivid the next! Love!

I am a huge blue fan. These shades of blue are getting me excited for a new wardrobe in the spring season. I will definitely need one! Not only is the stay-at-home thing over, if you have been following along, you know I lost thirty pounds this year. So, a new wardrobe next spring will be in order.

My two favorite colors from the spring/summer 2022 color palette are “Glacier Lake” and Harbor Blue.” Which colors are your favorites?

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
