There are so many beautiful, cozy sweaters this season! Now, we just need some sweater weather. Thankfully we can rock a little bit of the fall season right now through fall nail polish, and timeless handbags. Love that!

As we move away from the summer season, and into the fall season, your autumn shopping list should be complete. If not, be sure to shop your closet and see what you already have, and what you need to fill in. This helps you round out your basics; enabling you to have a base wardrobe you can add to as needed. You can check out my post about how to shop your closet here.

This is the perfect time to invest in east/west handbags, north/south totes, and beautifully crafted bags. Remember to store those logos! Think “investment dressing” this fall season.

I love that fall 2024 is all about investment dressing and building a wardrobe rather than fleeting trends. We don’t have to worry about following the latest trends. We just need clean, chic pieces which can be mixed and matched, and worn season after season. Love!

Fall 2024 handbag trends

We are in luck this fall 2024 season! The handbag trends are building on what many of us already have in our closet from recent seasons. So, if you have had your eye on a handbag, you still have time to snap it up and move it from your wish list to your wardrobe. Love that!

Fall 2024 is all about the anonymous handbag. We are looking at a surge in north/south totes and east/west satchels. The color palette is traditional with neutral hues, black, olive, burgundy/maroon, and winter white. Logo’s are still staying stored in the back of our closets, and high quality, simple silhouettes are reigning supreme.

When it comes to handbags, look for a color or colors you feel will blend with the majority of your closet. Investing in a dark red or olive-type green will give you a traditional handbag you will wear every fall season. So, don’t feel guilty getting an autumn hue, it will have longevity!

The handbag trends we are seeing for the fall 2024 are also perfect investment handbags. Since they are not trendy or fleeting colors, they can stay in our wardrobe for years and get continued use. The silhouettes are also timeless and should give us a lot of wear right now and as we move into the new year. None of these styles are hyper-trendy, so we don’t need to worry about spending money on a new bag for fall. Love that!

Speaking of spending money, the hottest brands, designers and styles right now won’t break the bank. You can get an IT style for under $1000. In fact, emerging designers and relatively unknown brands are having a moment. So, investing in a high-quality bag with a simple, chic silhouette is hot right now. Of course, brands such as Coach, Mansur Gavriel, and Songmont are also continuing to be hot right now too. Love!

Fall 2024 nail polish trends

The fall 2024 nail polish collections are here! This means we have new trends in nail polish colors for the autumn season. Love!

This fall season, we are seeing a mix of color types for nail polish. The biggest trend seems to be the iridescent nail polish trend. Iridescent nail polish offers a clean and clear nail polish with an iridescent sheen, giving it an interesting look while keeping the nails neutral and light. This is good news for anyone working in a conservative work environment. You can wear this sheer, iridescent nail polish and stay under the radar while rocking a hot fall trend. Love that!

In addition to iridescent nail polish, traditional fall colors are hot for the 2024 season. We are seeing rich chocolate browns, traditional berry hues, fall greens, and varying shades of brown and tan. These colors tend to offer a neutral palette for the fall season since they play well with classic autumn hues. I am loving chocolate brown, and that beautiful berry hue pictured above.

While not particularly avant-garde, pastels are the envelope-pushing color family for fall 2024 nail polish. Pastel blue is the hottest light-colored hue, but other pastels are worthy too. Pick your favorite pastel and go with it.

I love all the variations of fall 2024 nail polish colors this autumn season. There really is a color family for everyone! Which fall 2024 nail polish trend is your favorite?
