It is an unusually warm fall season this year! So, it seems like the only way to truly rock fall style is by wearing fall nail polish and carrying a fall bag. I know sweater weather will be here soon! It’s already October!

As we look at fall styles to invest in, we can’t help but think about what we just saw on the runways for spring 2025 during fashion month. There was a continuation of suede handbags, hobo bags, moon shaped hobo bags, slouchy totes and buckets, and also bag charms. I will not be jumping on the bag charm trend, which is a thing right now, and it seems designers are latching onto the trend for spring, but I digress. . .

This means investing in a suede bag right now will carry us through 2025. We can continue to look at hobo bags, buckets, totes, and moon shaped bags as they will last beyond one season. There is also a continuation of being logo-less, so the anonymous handbag lives on. Love that!

Chanel nail polish fall 2024 review

Better late than never! Chanel Phenomene nail polish took the long way to my house so it took me longer than expected to get this review post up and live on the blog! That being said, I think Phenomene by Chanel was worth the wait. It is gorgeous! Love!

There are two nail polish colors in the Chanel fall nail polish collection. Chanel Spirituelle and Chanel Phenomene. Spirituelle is a medium brown and Phenomene is an iridescent metallic polish which gives us green, black, berry and more. It is such a cool color.

Both of these colors stray from what we would wear in a conservative work environment. If you need something for an office with a strict dress code, I would stick with Chanel Song D’ete from their summer collection. Otherwise, Chanel Spirituelle nail polish is a fabulous neutral for the fall season, and Chanel Phenomene nail polish is an avant-garde choice; which also happens to be selling out. If you like it, act fast!

My favorite from the Chanel fall 2024 nail polish collection is Chanel Phenomene. It is a fun color, and it offers unexpected dynamics in the sun and direct light. I am wearing it as I type this! Love that!

It’s officially fall and now I am wishing for actual fall weather! Ha! Are you looking at your sweaters wistfully too? Sigh.

Thankfully, we can all enjoy a little bit of fall style in this ninety-degree heat by rocking fall nail polish and handbags in autumn hues. Love that!

As we move into the fall season, traditional autumn hues are hot for the fall season. In addition, we are seeing a lot of suede, the continuation of wide leg and classic cut pants, as well as timeless styles. In general, people are shying away from overt trends without lasting power. I love the chic look of fall 2024.

What are you loving this fall season? Have you stocked up on fall nail polish, anonymous handbags, classic blazers, and cozy sweaters yet?

Thanks for stopping by!
