Button front skirts are a huge trend this fall 2015 season. The button front skirt has been spotted everywhere for the upcoming autumn season; from the runways to the streets, it is the IT skirt of the season.

Whether you prefer mini skirts, midi skirts, or maxi skirt, there is a button front skirt this season for you. The button front skirt is being shown in all three lengths; with suede and denim as the most popular fabrications.

Button front skirts are a fabulous fall trend. They are casual in nature, making them a fabulous alternative to jeans or cords. Love that!

With the 1970’s trend in full swing for fall, button front skirts are taking center stage as the ultimate skirt to own. The button front skirt was a huge trend in the 1970’s, making it fit perfectly into the season.

Button front skirts can be worn with sandals, thick heeled sandals or pumps, booties, and knee boots. They can also be paired with body conscious sweaters or knits, ponchos, secretary blouses, tees, and casual blouses. These combinations make button front skirts perfect for both weekends and casual office environments. Love it!

I absolutely adore the button front skirt trend. I remember my Mom wearing a brown suede, button front skirt when I was a small child. I always liked how it looked on her, but the trend never returned after the late 1970’s. Now that it is finally back, I cannot wait to wear it!

This fall season I have already picked up a navy suede, button front midi skirt (similar here) and this beige suede, button front skirt. I also have my eyes on this denim, button front skirt. Now, I need to find a fabulous pair of boots to wear with them!

Jacket and coat alternative for fall 2015 by Bay Area Fashionista

Fall is almost here, this means it is time to think about how to stay warm! Capes, wraps, shawls, and ruana’s are a few of fall 2015’s hottest ways to keep cozy instead of wearing a traditional jacket or coat. Love this trend!

With the 1970’s trend in full swing this autumn, capes, wraps, shawls, and ruana’s are the perfect way to achieve the ultimate 70’s silhouette while staying warm. Love that!

They are also fabulous when fall hands us in-between weather. Sometimes autumn days can be cold enough to wrap up, but not cold enough for a wool jacket or coat. Capes, shawls, wraps, and ruana’s are perfect for those days! They are also fabulous for when the fog rolls in 😉

I love wearing a cape, shawl, wrap, or ruana on a mild, fall day. They are the perfect way to keep warm when the weather hovers in the 50’s through low 70’s on autumn days. 

This fall, I am excited to wear my new ruana. This ruana is lightweight, yet cozy. It will be perfect to throw over jeans, casual skirts, and casual slim dresses this fall; especially when the fog rolls in!

A cape would be perfect this fall for dressier days. I am in love with this rain cape by Maxstudio, and also this classic black cape by Classiques Entier. I would also love to add this casual black cape by Topshop to my fall wardrobe. It is under $100!

I found a few fabulous capes, shawls, wraps, and ruana’s around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, stay warm, and stay fabulous 😉

Boxy handbags for fall 2015

boxy satchels for fall 2015

Fall 2015 has an answer to those who are not really into the bucket bag trend; the boxy satchel trend. Box bags and boxy satchels are a hot trend for the fall 2015 season. They are the alter ego to the relaxed, slouchy, drawstring bag trend which has reigned supreme over the past few seasons. 

While a drawstring bucket bag looks fabulous with a casual ensemble on Saturday afternoon, it does not compliment a structured look during the week, when dressed for the office, the theater, or dinner. Fall 2015 has brought us the perfect answer to this handbag dilemma; the boxy satchel.

Box-like bags for fall 2015 are being shown in two distinct forms; the medium satchel, and the small boxy bag.

Medium boxy satchels, in rectangular and square forms, are ideal for the office, and daytime events. They have a wide width, allowing them to be stuffed to the brim with everything plus the kitchen sink. Boxy satchels offer two top handles, a roomy interior, oftentimes they offer multiple sections, and a neat, structured look for structured attire. Love that!

Fall 2015’s box bags are smaller in stature than their boxy satchels sisters, and beg to be carried to fundraisers, dinners, and more formal affairs. Box bags can be found in small, or mini sizes, in both casual, and formal forms. These smaller box bags tend to offer one top handle, and sometimes will feature a detachable shoulder strap. They can be found in one color, bi-color, decorated with kitschy words or pictures, or embellished with jewels, beadwork, and more! The embellished versions are like boho-chic meets uptown flair. Love it!

Boxy satchels and box bags offer a vintage vibe for fall 2015, reminiscent of the 1950’s and 1960’s. They transcend decades when paired with this season’s 1970’s styles, or an a-line miniskirt or flippy skirt.

What do you think of this emerging trend in handbags? Will you seek one out to use as your alternative this fall to your beloved bucket bag?
