Can you believe we are halfway through August? Where did the summer vacation go? My kids are back in school, and we are all wearing summer clothing, while looking at fall clothing. The summer just flew by!

Despite it being the end of summer vacation, we are all still looking at lightweight clothing which can be worn in the late summer season, as well as the early fall season. After all, the first half of fall is just as hot as the middle of summer! These black linen joggers are a great, everyday pant, for warm weather. They are comfortable, and extremely lightweight. I live in my pair!

Also great on hot days, is this on trend tee with puff sleeves. It fits into both the summer and fall trends while offering lightweight comfort, and a fabulous price under $50. I live in mine!

Now that life is back to normal, convertible handbags are a huge must-have! Shoppers are seeking bags that can be worn multiple ways. This convertible black bag comes with two straps; one that be worn short, under the shoulder, and one that is cross body. Plus, it’s an IT bag under $300. Love that!

If you like a little bit of urban edge, this stripe convertible bag comes with a belt bag strap and a cross body strap. I wear mine cross body all the time, but it’s nice to have the belt bag option just in case. It’s very roomy, and adds spice to everyday outfits. Love!

If course, hot fall items such as nail polish, and chain bags, are easy to wear right now; despite the heat outside. They are a great way to update a summer wardrobe, without sacrificing comfort. Also hot right now, are staple IT items such as a fabulous belt, or these wildly popular sneakers. Love these too!

BAF Weekly IT List

fall 2021 street style trends

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: black puff sleeve top (on major sale) / fall nail polish: Dior, light grey, brown / chain pouch (hot IT bag) / light blue sweater (on major sale!) / ’90’s style hobo (hot IT bag) / chain detail booties (on sale under $100) / grey satchel /

It’s starting to look a like like fall! At least, inside the stores, and on retail websites, it looks like fall! Outside, well, that’s a different story. Despite all these new mask mandates, I am hopeful that the fall season will be business as usual around here!

That being said, I think you are excited about fall too! Not just for the cooler temperatures, but for the prospect of attending a football game, watching kids trick or treat, and everything else we love about the fall season. I know I am looking forward to these fall activities we missed out on last year!

Since fall is highly anticipated, it’s no wonder fall merchandise is flying off store shelves! Fall nail polish is hotter than hot, and these dark neutrals are highly on trend. Puff sleeves and chain details are huge for the autumn season, as well as slouchy handbags and structured ‘90’s hobos. Since it’s too warm to wear coats and heavy clothing, we can all add a little fall to our wardrobes right now through handbags, nail polish, and puff sleeves! Love that!

Looking for some deals on basics for fall? The Nordstrom sale is going on until August 8, 2021. Then, prices go back to regular retail. If you have been eyeing something, snap it up now! You can check out my favorites from the sale here.

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: blue v-neck sweater (on major sale) / lipstick / fall nail polish (check out my review) / Gucci sneakers / white puff sleeve tee / classic black satchel / convertible cross body bag (IT bag under $300) / ’90’s style hobo bag /

Fall is in the air! Well, not really, it’s over 90 degrees outside. That being said, we are all starting to think about, and shop for, the fall season! Love!

This year, the fall season brings more than just moderate temperatures. It brings back a feeling of normalcy we didn’t have last year. Fall 2021 is offering our children in-person school with a normal schedule, normal sports schedules, travel, and a normal schedule we did not have the opportunity to enjoy last year. So as we all shop for fall, it’s more than just new clothing or nail polish, it’s a fresh start and a renewed sense of joy. I am here for it!

I love looking ahead to fall events and activities, which means more than just loungewear and jeans. It means a possible dress, flowing skirt, and a renewed anticipation of having fun at traditional fall events. I am looking forward to attending football games, parties, traveling, and more!

As shoppers look towards the same normalcy we do, they are building up their wardrobes with classic IT bags, and IT bags which offer a ’90’s vibe. Nail polish for fall is dark and neutral. Clothing has color, and offers some practicality. More on all these trends in August on the blog!

The best items to invest in early in the season are IT bags, fall nail polish, and a fabulous pair of sneakers for walking and travel. Clothing always seems to be last to hit store shelves, and a lot more is coming! So stay tuned! In the meantime, this lightweight blue sweater is perfect for transitioning from summer into fall, and this puff sleeve top is on trend for both summer and fall. There is an all-white trend coming up this fall season; stay tuned!
