Designer or Deal? Classic evening hard clutch: designer IT bag version / affordable brand version priced under $100 /

Have you eyed the beautiful, classic hard clutch by Jimmy Choo over the years? I know I have! It’s a beautiful evening clutch which Jimmy Choo offers in different colors every year, while continually offering timeless neutral hues in glittering acrylic.

This clutch has enough room for all your evening essentials, and a hidden chain strap so you can sling it over your shoulder while holding appetizers at an event. While this clutch is priced within reach under $1000, there is a similar version on the market priced under $100. Sometimes it is nice to remove a zero!

This pretty little deal offers the same style as the Jimmy Choo glitter acrylic clutch, without the designer price tag. It is a well-known brand sold at one of your favorite department stores, so you know it is a safe to buy; and legitimate! I would never, ever suggest a shady copy.

If you are interested in this fabulous deal, on the perfect clutch for the holiday party season, you might want to snap it up quickly. It’s currently on sale-making it under $50 right now!

BAF Weekly IT List

popular fall shoes

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: blue sweater (avl in other colors too) / vanilla honey body butter / fall nail polish / square toe pump / soft grey satchel /

The weekly IT list is here! This week, temperatures in some parts of the country have started to cool off, so stocking up on cozier clothing, such as sweaters, is a must! This fabulous blue sweater is perfect for everyday wear; and it has a classic, slouchy silhouette. I love mine in blue, but there are other colors available too.

As temperatures start to cool down, I love indulging in warmer fragrances. This honey vanilla body butter has a warm gourmand scent which is perfect for the fall season. It has just the right combination of comfort and warmth; of course, the body butter itself is amazingly moisturizing. Love it!

Of course, are you really dressed without fabulous nails? Nope! If you haven’t already, don’t forget to snap up this beautiful fall nail polish from Chanel for the fall season. It’s a deep red you can wear now and throughout the holiday season. Love!

These square toe, stamped croc pumps are amazing! Stamped croc is a huge footwear trend this fall season, and so is the square toe! Not only that, these pumps are actually walkable and comfortable. I love mine. Plus, they are under $200. Whaaa-aaat?! Yes, they are all that, and they are just plain fabulous.

I am still planning on purchasing this grey slouchy satchel from Givenchy. It’s the newest incarnation of the design house’s popular and classic Antigona collection. Hopefully Santa will bring it to me this holiday season! If you are looking for a fabulous bag you can wear casually and everyday, this is the current IT bag you need now. It also happens to be a great investment purchase, so you don’t have to feel like it’s a one season deal. Love that!

The fall season is here, and since my daughter is a junior in high school, we are starting to look at colleges. I cannot believe we are already looking at colleges! Of course, we are starting hyper-local. So far, we took her to look at Stanford and UCSC. When I realized she was looking at local schools, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to show her my Alma Mater-USF!

Over the weekend we started our adventure at the A.L.C pop-up shop at 2011 Fillmore in San Francisco, then we ate lunch and headed over to USF so I could give my daughter the full tour; as full a tour as possible during a pandemic, when schools are virtual for the semester.

We parked right in front of campus (um-when does that happen?!), and then I brought my family down to the baseball field, and took them throughout the campus. There was a lot of new construction on campus, which was fun for me to see since those buildings and add-ons weren’t there when I was a student. It was really fun to give my family a tour, talk about the buildings, and student life at USF. I used to give college tours to prospective families when I was a student, so I felt like a collegiate again, which was fun!

My daughter enjoyed the tour, and really liked the campus. I am not sure if the major she wants is available at USF, but at least she liked the campus! If she doesn’t choose to apply there, maybe one of my other kids will want to be a Don, just like their mother!

I have to give a shout-out to these boots. I just bought these square toe booties for the fall season, and decided to wear them for the first time in the city. We did a ton of walking, and these boots were so comfortable! I love the roomy square toe, and good foot support. I am looking forward to wearing these boots often this season since they are not only on trend, but great for walking!

I hope you are getting chances to rock your new fall looks!

Thanks for stopping by!
