BAF Weekly IT List

spring 2021 trends it bags nail polish

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: gemstone bracelets ($25 each) / classic IT bag (under $300) / mascara (for all those Zoom calls!) / spring nail polish / late spring nail polish (perfect neutral!) / classic comfort shoes (hot trend!) / classic IT bag in black / yellow mini pouch clutch (under $500) (hot IT bag) / black pouch clutch (hot IT bag) / puff sleeve tee /

Is it too soon to declare 2021 as the year of the IT bag? There are SO MANY good bags this year! Word on the street is that classic IT bags are hotter than hot, and pouches reign supreme. So pull out your classic IT bag from your closet, or snap up one you’ve been eyeing such as the Chloe Marcie, or the Coach Swinger, which happens to be under $300. Love that!

Pouches are also hotter than hot. There are large pouches, and small pouches. I love the mini pouch pictured above. It has a strap so you can wear it as a clutch, shoulder bag, or cross body bag. Plus it’s a hot IT bag under $500. Love!

Puff sleeves are huge this year and this tee is perfect for spring. It’s black, so it goes with everything, and it is the perfect weight for spring weather. I am wearing mine all the time!

Is it cold where you live? You can brighten up your day with spring nail polish! These two colors are proving to be popular and selling fast! I love both of these!

SALE ALERT! Now that the economy is starting to open up a bit more, we all need a few things! SOMA is having a fabulous sale starting today and running through March 7, 2021. You can snap up your favorite bra for only $25, and with that purchase you can get a panty for $5. Such a good deal! I love this wired bar, and this wireless bra. If you can’t make it to the store this weekend, you can shop the sale online here.

My spring 2021 handbag capsule wardrobe is a mix of fun and practical. This spring season, I really want to add some cheery style to my everyday looks. This cute little yellow pouch fits into the pouch clutch trend, and adds a fun pop of color to a casual outfit. Love that!

Natural fibers and texture are also huge this spring season. This small straw tote bag is perfect to fit into that trend and provide a roomy handbag solution for day-to-day activities. I love this little tote!

Classic IT bags, and IT bags from the 1990s are also a huge trend this year. Reach into the back of your closet and pull out your IT bags from ten to twenty-five years ago! They are relevant! My favorite is my Chloe Marcie which is soft, slouchy, and great for daily use. It is hard to photograph with a group, which is why you don’t see it in my group photos.

Since I am still working from home, I don’t really need a tote or large work bag right now. I have stored my totes which will come in handy later this year to use as beach bags, and hopefully travel bags after we all get our vaccines! So for now, I am wearing smaller bags which are great for running errands and daily activities.

Which types of bags are you rocking this spring?

First off, apologies for the grainy photo. My camera is starting to act up, and it may be time for a new one. This was the best shot I could get with it. Stay tuned for a camera update later this month! Now, onto spring shoes!

My spring 2021 shoe capsule wardrobe is here! This spring, life is on the casual side. I put my high heels in the closet, as well as my wedge espadrilles, in the hopes of pulling them out this summer when things open up a bit more. Here in California, we are still somewhat locked down. We can enjoy outdoor dining, and outdoor activities, but everything that is open is on the casual side, and requires footwear to match. Shoes I can walk in are a must! So heels and wedges are stored for next season. Waiting for those vaccines!

Spring shoes for the 2021 season are a little bit more fun than they have been in previous years. We are looking at the puffy pillow trend, which started with handbags, and has now moved to shoes; and we are also looking at the square toe. Put these two trends together, and your footwear is fun!

I normally prefer neutral shoes, but for spring 2021, I decided one pair of fun, yellow shoes was a necessity. It’s been such a stressful, and crazy, twelve months, so adding a little bit of fun to our wardrobes this season will brighten the day as we look towards the light at the end of the tunnel.

I love this puffy yellow pair of slides. They are comfy and soft, yet offer a little bit of height with the block heel. I can walk around in them, and kick them off easily in the car. If you are only buying one pair of shoes this spring season, buy something fun!

If you have been reading my blog, you know all about comfort shoes for spring! I love these comfy slides, and espadrilles are also slipper-like on my feet. These are my two go-to comfort shoes this spring season. I also have a pair of Birkenstocks, but I tend to wear them around the house. They are well-loved.

Espadrilles, and any pair of open toe shoes, will easily carry us all into the summer season. These are good investments to wear for spring, and throughout the warm weather seasons. Closed toe slides will also carry us through fall. This makes slides a great investment shoe for 2021! Love that!
