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.

fall 2018 handbag trends black handbags from top left: stamped croc mini satchel (under $500) / small cross body bag / top handle circle bag / saddle bag / slouchy vegan tote (under $1000) / north south hobo bag /

Handbags for fall are back in black, and while I am playing with cliche’s, black is the new black. hahaa

You might be looking at this and thinking, black is always in fashion! Well, technically it, but for the fall 2018 season, black is the ultimate IT color for your bag. So if you love to invest in classic handbags, this is your season!

Black handbags are fabulous in a variety of styles for the fall 2018 season, but the ultimate fall 2018 handbag trends include fanny packs (aka belt bags), hobo bags (I know-stop trying to make them happen-they aren’t going to happen~but this season they might!), small or mini satchels, saddle bags. and geometric shapes. As long as you find the fall silhouette you love, just grab it in black! It’s as easy as that!

If you like structured or slouchy, this is your season. The slouchy totes and hobos bags are great for relaxed looks, while the structured geometric shapes, mini satchels, and saddle bags will offer the stiffness you desire for work or more formal dressing.

Black is a fabulous color to be in for the fall 2018 season. If you already own a black bag in one of the fall 2018 handbag trends, then you are all set for the season! If not, you can invest in a new bag without worrying too much about the color having a one-season shelf life. A black bag can be worn all year long, and year after year! Love that!

Any type of fabrication is hot for the fall season. You can wear vegan fabrics, smooth leather, soft and slouchy leather, suede, stamped exotics, tweed, or fabric. As long as the silhouette is right, and the color is black, you are ready for the fall season!

Fall 2018 shoe trends: booties

fall 2018 shoe trends booties

fall 2018 shoe trends booties for fall from top left: white booties / low ankle gold booties (on my fall wish list) / low ankle distressed charcoal booties (on my fall wish list) / brick red booties / white split shaft booties (I own these and love them!) / black patent booties (on my fall wish list) /

Booties are one of the hottest fall 2018 shoe trends on the street, and they are also one of the most classic form of autumn footwear. Booties for fall are fabulous because they can be paired with skirts, dresses, and pants. They may just be the most versatile style of footwear for the fall season. Love that!

The fall 2018 season is full of new bootie styles. Western inspiration is huge this season, and you will see tons of cowboy inspired footwear hitting store shelves. I love how you can find designers who reinvented the cowboy boot for fall, as well as took inspiration from the style and incorporated traits of it into a more classic bootie style. If full-blown cowboy boots aren’t your thing, look for styles with western inspiration, and a more a classic silhouette. This is what I will be doing! I have my eyes on this pair and this pair.

Split shaft booties were a hot trend last year, and they are showing no signs of slowing down this year. Look for several designer takes on the split shaft booties trend for fall 2018. I own this comfortable pair and this pair from last year, currently on a deep discount, which are also comfortable.

One of the big bootie trends from last year, which is also continuing this year, is the sock bootie trend. Look for more skin tight bootie styles to appear on store shelves this year.

Combat boots are also a big trend for fall in the wide world of boots. Look for lug soles booties, hiking boot inspired booties, and chunky, funky boots. You may also notice some 1990s Dr. Marten inspiration on store shelves. Grab your Doc’s and pop in a Nine Inch Nails CD; it’s not the twilight zone, your high school concert style is back!

You may also notice studs lining the perimeter of many bootie styles this upcoming fall season. While full blown studded styles are bit too heavy for autumn, studded lines and outlines are fresh and right for fall. I love this pair.
