Fall is in the air! Well, theoretically at least. It is still a furnace outside with no relief in sight, but a girl can dream about fall, right? Yes, as I dream about fall, I am crushing on the current trends for the autumn season which can also withstand the test of time.

This Pendleton sweater, and this soft, denim skirt are both fabulous pieces for the fall season. I am also loving classic black boots and Mary Janes. The anonymous handbag is also red hot on the streets as well as classic jewelry.

Nail polish for fall is playing with traditional autumn hues in shades of brown, orange and red. This makes the nail polish trends for fall easy to wear daily, as well as to the office. Love that!

Chanel nail polish fall 2023 review

Are you experiencing a bit of deja vu? Yeah, me too! The Chanel nail polish collection for fall 2023 is eerily similar to the spring collection, just a few shades darker. The bright and cheery Chanel Ete Indien nail polish hue for fall 2023 is nearly identical to Chanel’s Watermelon shade from spring 2023. If you already invested in Watermelon, you can cheat and wear it again for fall! Then we have Chanel Bois Des Iles nail polish. This is a true fall hue. This deep, dark red nail polish is much darker than spring’s Rouge Cuir, so it is the perfect fall nail polish to snap up now. Love!

These shades of nail polish from the red and orange family are right in line with the fall 2023 beauty trends which are edgier versions of classic autumn hues. Chanel Bois Des Iles feels right for the fall season, and I am wearing it as I type this!

The fall color palette is giving us shades of brown, red, blue green and pink with occasional pops of yellow. Both Chanel Etet Indien nail polish and Chanel Bois Des Iles nail polish will play well with these autumn hues which are hitting store shelves as we speak. While I love both colors, Bois Des Iles by Chanel is my favorite. Love!

I tested out both colors from the fall 2023 Chanel nail polish collection with one base coat and two coats of colors. I did not photograph these nail polishes with a top coat. Chanel Bois Des Iles is a cream polish which glides on easily in two coats. Chanel Ete Indien has a gel-like consistency which is quite sheer when applying, but the second coat glides on smoothly and gives the polish an opaque finish; so don’t try to wear it with one coat! You must use two coats for this one.

So, without further ado, here are the two nail polish colors from the Chanel nail polish fall 2023 collection.

As I mentioned above, I am in love with Chanel Bois Des Iles nail polish for the fall 2023 season. I am already wearing it! This is a fabulous color which can be worn in the office, as well as anywhere else. It is a great workhorse for the autumn season. Love that!

Fall 2023 capsule wardrobe

Is it fall yet? I am so done with summer weather; fall cannot come soon enough! That being said, I am all set for fall! This autumn season, casual style is classic style. We are seeing timeless Pendleton sweaters, stripes inspired by nautical design, and denim which is being shown in classic, wide leg, and flare cuts.

I am a sucker for sweaters, so when I spotted this thick and cozy Pendleton sweater for fall, I knew I needed it in my life! It is a classic beige hue with a touch of red which will make it easy to wear with a fall color palette. It is definitely the hero piece of my casual fall capsule wardrobe for the fall 2923 season! Love!

In addition to sweaters, the denim pencil skirt is hot, which is fabulous because I am all about casual style. In early fall, when temperatures are still warm, this denim pencil skirt will pair well with my stripe sweater and loafers. Then, when temperature drop as fall moves on, it will look fabulous with boots and this Pendelton sweater over a long sleeve tee. The skirt will also translate into winter style! I plan to pair it with winter boots and my puffy black jacket, which you will see in the winter season!
