Are you loving all these fall nail polish colors? I am waiting on one Chanel fall nail color which was delayed in shipping. As soon as I receive it, I will post my review. Apologies for the delay! Of course, Dior is posted on the blog and Hermes is also on the way!

So, I said I would stay away from a suede handbag this fall season, but I guess I am weak. This hybrid suede and leather bucket bag caught my eye and I am in love. It is super comfortable and fits a few extras on cold days such as gloves, a hat, and a scarf.

Then, in my moment of weakness, I picked up this small little hobo bag in suede. I have been eyeing this bag for a couple of seasons but couldn’t decide on a color I didn’t already own in a similar style. When this suede version popped up, I caved and bought it. The suede is really soft, and the bag is extremely sturdy. Full review hits the blog next week!

This fall season continues to be a celebration of high-quality handbags sans logos. I love this trend of not being flashy and also transcending trends. Love it!

Also, there are so many cute and cozy sweaters this fall season! Look for an understated and timeless sweater to wear daily. Love!

What are you loving for fall?

Thanks for stopping by!

The weather has finally cooled down, and it is starting to feel like fall! Love this! Although not quite sweater weather, it is cool enough to wear boots with jeans and a light top. Of course, paired with a fabulous, high-quality handbag which happens to be logo-free. Love!

Now that the weather is cooling off, we can really get serious about what is in our closets for fall. In addition to shopping your closet, and filling in the blanks, this season we can add a few things. Corduroy pants are making a comeback! In addition, wide leg and loose-fitting pants are still hot. So, if you haven’t invested in wide leg or loose jeans, and/or trousers, now is the time. Plus, if you invested in a long denim skirt last year, you can wear it again this year. They are back and stronger than ever.

The anonymous handbag is still going strong. I have to admit, I am not surprised. A beautiful handbag which does not flash a logo is timeless and easy to wear. We can all feel guilt-free investing in a handbag which showcases its beautiful leather and craftsmanship instead of flaunting a logo. Additionally, when a bag is all about beauty and not name, we are not paying to flaunt a name. Love that!

I have been watching what people carry on the streets of Silicon Valley. The brands and designers favored here in the Bay Area include Loewe, Coach, Mansur Gavriel, Mulberry, Toteme, The Row, and Polene. I love seeing these beautiful bags on the street because they showcase style and craftsmanship, not brand.

Despite the heat, we are all falling for fall! Darker nail polish as well as traditional fall colors are hot right now; in addition to the anonymous handbag. People are stocking on up cozy sweaters, and wide leg pants too. We all know cooler temperatures are around the corner! Maybe if I drink more Pumpkin Spice latte’s the weather will cool down. Trying.

What are you stocking up on for the fall season? Are you excited to leave the hot summer behind you?

Thanks for stopping by!
