Fall 2018 handbag trends: saddle bags and top flap satchels

fall 2018 handbag trends saddle bags top flap satchels

Fall 2018 handbag trends saddle bags, top flap satchels or lady bags, from top left: striped saddle bag / black lady bag satchel (under $400) / blue and black pattern saddle bag (under $400) / ivory saddle bag / cobalt blue lady bag satchel / red lady bag satchel (I have this bag in black and love it!) /

The lady bag is back; and so is the saddle bag. The top flap satchel, otherwise known as the Lady Bag, is the hottest silhouette in structured bags this fall 2018 season. When it comes to a more casual look, look for the top flap shoulder bag aka the saddle bag.

There are plenty of fall 2018 handbag trends to look forward to this season. While we have logo bags still going in full force, belt bags taking the place of the cross body bag, black bags being the color of the season, and western inspired designs on bags; the classic lady bag and saddle bag are most likely in your closet. This makes them classic enough to invest in while, not worrying about longevity over the years.

Lady bags and saddle bags are classic; this makes them sound investments when it comes to handbag purchases this fall season. A lady bag can be used season after season for dressier occasions and for the office. A saddle bag is a classic, casual stand-by which is always in style.

If you can only buy one bag this fall 2018 season, look for a flap bag. If you plan to use your bag for work, or prefer a structured bag, then the Lady Bag is your bag of the season. If you are more casual and carefree, opt for a saddle bag. When it comes to color, the color of fall 2018 is black; but feel free to grab a color or pattern which speaks to you. Sometimes the best way to spice up a neutral wardrobe is with a colorful handbag!

Moving into fall with SOMA Style Essentials

wearing: rose gold hoop earrings / lipstick / soft black jersey wrap c/o SOMA Intimates / black and white pattern maxi dress c/o SOMA Intimates / purple nail polish / black shoulder bag / white split shaft booties /

The weather is finally changing! We have been getting cool fog in the mornings, and warm, yet comfortable, temperatures in the afternoons. This is the perfect scenario for transitioning  my wardrobe from summer into fall. Thankfully SOMA recently launched their Style Essentials clothing line! Love!

My favorite intimates brand now has clothing! If you have been following along for awhile, you may remember how much I love SOMA pajamas. My daughters and I are addicted to their soft, comfy, and extra cute PJ’s. So it is no wonder I instantly fell in love with the SOMA Style Essentials clothing line! It’s just as soft and comfortable as their PJ’s; except that you can wear this clothing in public! Love that!

This comfy maxi dress is just as soft as SOMA’s pajamas, and it is great to wear all day. In the morning I can throw on flip flops and this jersey jacket to drop my kids off at school, run to the supermarket, and attend to any errands I need to get done for the day. When lunch rolls around, I can take off the jacket and throw on wedges for the perfect lunch look. This dress can even take me to a business meeting! Swap out the wedges for block heels and a more tailored jacket or blazer and I can take on the world!

This dress is a great alternative to leggings and an oversize top on days when athleisure or casual-wear is in order. If I am in a legging mood, SOMA also carries comfy leggings, oversize tops, and a variety of comfy and casual dresses. It’s a one-stop-shop!

You can check out the entire SOMA Style Essentials collection online here.

Fall 2018 fashion trends: western inspiration

fall 2018 fashion trends western style

Fall 2018 fashion trends western inspiration from top left: black denim western style shirt / western style dress / studded brown saddle bag / plaid western style shirt / ivory western style booties / ivory saddle bag (under $300!!) / black studded saddle bag / distressed black western style bootie (I bought this pair for fall-love!)

The fall 2018 fashion trends are starting to hit store shelves, and one of the biggest breakthrough style trends to make it from the runways to the streets is western inspiration. Store buyers are loving boots and booties with cowboy details; and they are loving studded bags, turquoise belt buckles, and rodeo-ready apparel. Yee-haw!

This is a fun trend to rock this fall. Instead of a regular tee with jeans on casual days, we can all up our games by adding a western inspired accessory or article of clothing to our everyday looks to make our wardrobes fresh, and hot off the runway. Love this!

I’m not one to sport a western shirt, but I do love the cowboy boot inspired booties, belt buckles, and studded bags. What can I say, I am an accessories girl! I already purchased this belt, which happens to be on sale, and this pair of booties. Both items are on my list to wear at New York Fashion Week next month!

If you already own a saddle bag, you’re set when it comes to western inspired handbags for fall! The saddle bag is a classic western handbag and works perfectly with the seasons trends. If not, then look for one with studded details for fall 2018. Cowboy boots are a classic boot style, chances are you have a timeless pair in your closet, if not, why not invest in a pair! If full boots aren’t your thing, western inspired booties are hot this fall season. Look for one with a western silhouette and modern flair like this pair.
