The anonymous handbag, and fun nail polish colors, are hotter than hot right now! Everyone is snapping up beautiful, high-quality handbags without logos and then having some fun on their nails with blue, purple, green, and more!

Can we stop for a minute and talk about Coach? You remember how popular this handbag brand was back in the 1980s and 1990s. They faded into the background during the height of the bling era in the early 2000s when everyone got into logo-mania. As logos faded into being popular, and not an insane “must-have,” we started to see regular, high-quality handbags enjoy some time in the spotlight as IT bags rotated every season. As this was happening, those who didn’t run after the current IT bag went back to Coach, and similar brands.

Fast forward to today, and Coach is just as popular as it was back in the day. While their styles are slightly different, and the leather is different, the handbags made by Coach offer incredible pricing for high quality fabrications and craftsmanship. I am always amazed how low their prices are for the product they produce. You can pay twice the Coach price and get half the quality elsewhere. This is why I am on such a huge Coach kick right now. You cannot beat the pricing, and the high-quality handbags are every girl’s dream.

I have invested in several of their bags over the past year, and I know you, Bay Area Fashionista readers, are investing in them too! If you are looking for a beautiful handbag which is high quality and won’t break the bank. Give Coach another look. I have linked up my current favorites below:

Getting back to summer style, if you are looking at how to create your summer wardrobe, look for understated style, an anonymous handbag, and have fun with your nail color. My summer capsule wardrobe is coming up soon too, so stay tuned!

I am starting to feel like this is the year of the handbag! Instead of a distinct IT bag, which we have moved away from in the past couple of years, we have an IT style; the anonymous handbag. Beautiful, investment handbags are flying off of store shelves. When you look around on the street to see what everyone is carrying, there is an array of beautiful, well-made, investment handbags in small and medium sizes. I love the variation of bags we are seeing right now! Personal style is at its peak! Love that!

This black handbag is simple and chic, yet offers an unique style that garners compliments every-time I wear it. Don’t you love it when random strangers compliment your bag? I know I do! This is why I tell people when I love their bags, and this black bag attracts those random compliments. If you are looking for an anonymous bag which offers some punch, this is it!

Summer nail polish is hot right now! Be sure to check out the Dior summer collection, and the Chanel summer collection. Love!

Chic and understated vibes are here! Summer 2023 is all about understated style, unless we are talking nails. The neutral nail polish trend has shifted for summer 2023, and now we are looking at vibrant pastels, golden metallic polish, and navy blue. Love!

As styles trend toward timeless and understated looks, minus your nail color, look for neutral ensembles, 1980s preppy vibes, and investment dressing. This is a great season to invest in basic pieces you know you will wear for years to come. Then, when things get trendy again, you will have a high-quality wardrobe full of classics you can build upon. Love that!
