I always need to have a couple of go-to outfits in my arsenal each season. My go-to outfit needs to be comfortable, casual, machine washable; and easy to throw on at a moments notice. This casual look hits all the buttons!
Last week, my daughter and I strolled around Santana Row in search of fabulous fall style, which I will be sharing with you later this week; and also enjoyed a yummy lunch. It was her first week of school, and she worked really hard to finish her schoolwork in four days so she could take Friday off. This is a common theme for her. Since we home-school through an online school, we can manage her time according to our whims; and her whim is to have a three day weekend. So it shall be!
She is in sixth grade this year, and the schoolwork is getting interesting. She loves ancient history; although learning about ancient Egypt scares her; she doesn’t want to see any mummies! I have to admit, sixth grade history was my favorite in middle school. It might actually be fun for me! haha
Since I am home-schooling during the day, squeezing work in before the kids wake up, and then taxiing my kids around to their after-school activities; I need clothing which is comfortable and fuss-free. This outfit is definitely going to be something I continue to reach for throughout both the fall and winter seasons. The jeans are loose and comfortable, the top is loose and comfortable, the slides are easy on and off; and of course, this is my favorite handbag on the planet! haha

The fall 2017 season is here! Well, not technically, according to the weather, and the calendar, but in the retail world it is in full swing! This means when we go to the store, instead of being greeted by beach attire, we are being greeted by faux fur, wool coats, and a whole lot of velvet!
The autumn 2017 season is bringing us a lot of fall 2017 trends which have made it from the runways to the streets. The fall 2017 trends from the runways were almost on track with what buyers decided they wanted to wear on the streets.
There are so many fall 2017 trends to sort through, I decided to narrow it down for you, and chat about the five most important trends of the season. At the end of this post, I recap all of the important trends of the season in long sentence. (hopefully none of my former English teachers or professors are reading this. haha)
Without further ado, the top 5 fall 2017 trends to hit the streets from the runways are:
Fall 2017 Trends: Shades of Red
Shades of red dominated the runways for the fall 2017 season. This was arguably the most recognizable trend throughout fashion week. So, it is no surprise that red is already proving to be the most important of all the fall 2017 color trends. While shades of pink, yellow, purple, green, black, and white are part of the fall 2017 color wheel, red is the must-have color of the season. You can rock red on clothing, shoes, hats, handbags, lipstick, or nail polish. It does not matter how do you do red, just be sure you are doing red.

Fall 2017 Trends: Hobos and Satchels
Designers have gone gaga for the hobo, and the classic satchel this season. While the satchel has been an important trend in handbags over the past few years, the hobo bag has been dormant. We have seen the rise of the hobo quietly in the background lately, but it has not been until fall 2017 that this large, soft handbag style can claim IT bag status.
As for scale, handbags are getting bigger. You can hang onto your mini bags from the past few seasons to use for convenience, but when it comes to carrying the IT bag of the season, bigger is better. Look for large, soft hobos, as well as medium to large satchels or totes this fall season.

Fall 2017 Trends: Soft Fabrics
The soft fabric trend of fall 2016 has returned for more in the fall 2017 season. Look for soft velvet, lace, satin; and anything that can flow. The softer, the better!

Fall 2017 Trends: The Return of the Power Suit
Now, when you think of the “Power Suit” an image of a 1980s pantsuit perfect for working on Wall Street may come to mind. Well, this is a new millennium, and the “Power Suit” is anything but Wall Street. Suiting for fall 2017 may take on many forms. We are seeing pajama style suits, leisure suits, structured suits, and unstructured suits. The idea is to have the jacket and pants match; by match I mean made from the same exact fabric. A blue print blazer paired with solid blue pants will not do; both pieces need to be made from the same fabric. Get ready for a season of matchy-matchy! (only in suiting, don’t match your bag and shoes-still not cool)

Fall 2017 Trends: Statement Jackets and Coats
The days of the classic black coat are loooooooong gone. Seriously, who owns a basic black coat anymore? Fall 2017, is all about the statement coat. You can wear a potato sack underneath if you want to; no-one will care. It’s all about the coat, or jacket.
For fall 2017, look for faux fur, multi-colored coats/jackets, 1970s chevrons, texture, brocade, embroidery; the works! If your coat blends into the crowd, it isn’t a statement coat. Look for the loudest jacket or coat on the rack and buy it. The crazier the better! You need to sparkle and shine this season in your outerwear.

Of course, when it comes to the fall 2017 fashion trends which have hit the streets from the runways, there are always more then five. In addition to these top five trends, look for Metallic touches and fabrics, the rise of silver over rose gold, 1990s influences, 1970s influences, brocade, embroidery, all-black, all-white, track pants worn with pumps, mules/slides, and luxurious combat boots.

Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish is a beautiful, dark rose hue from Chanel’s limited edition collection of rose colored nail polishes introduced in the pre-fall season. If Chanel’s fall 2017 nail polish collection is not your thing, this pretty, classic hue is a great alternative nail color for fall.
Although Rose Confidentiel nail polish is the lightest rose hue from Chanel’s four rose-hued, limited edition, nail polish collection, it is on the darker side as far as the rose color family is concerned. This falls right in line with autumn’s dark color palette. I love Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish as an alternative to the edgier colors in Chanel’s main nail polish collection for fall.
I tested out Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish with one base coat, two coats of color, and no top coat. It is long lasting! I love how Chanel’s nail polish is five free, while still being a long lasting formula.
Rose Confidentiel by Chanel is a classic rose hue with cool undertones. It is an easy color to wear right now, and well into the fall season. I love how it plays well with shades of blue, pink, and autumnal hues.
When I want a more classic nail, Chanel Rose Confidentiel will be the nail polish color I reach for this fall season. What do you think of it? You can find Chanel Rose Confidentiel nail polish online here.
