Can you believe we are in August?!?! I cannot believe how fast this summer has gone! While it is still technically summer, vacation is almost over. This means the kids are about to go back to school! Ah! I feel like I blinked, and it is over!

Despite the ninety-degree temperatures outside, stores are starting to stock cozy sweaters, pants, and handbags in fall hues. Are you ready for fall? I sure am! I would love some foggy mornings and cooler days. Right now, the only way to feel a little bit of fall is to snap up a new handbag for the autumn season.

Remember when I said moon shaped bags were up and coming? Well, they are exploding this fall season. Don’t worry, if the moon shape isn’t your thing, bucket bags, hobo bags, shoulder bags, and top handle bags are still hotter than hot for the fall season. But, if you would like to rock the moon bag trend, there is a fabulous new one under $500 I am excited about! See that ivory moon bag above? I love it! Stay tuned for an upcoming review. . .

If you are looking for some great pieces you can wear now and well into the fall season, these joggers are perfect for flowing from season to season. In addition, these high top sneakers are great to wear now and into the fall season.

Do you like fleeting trends? There are two right now. One is “Barbiecore” which is basically wearing bright pink, and also “Coastal Grandmother” which is wearing linens or flowing casual looks that would be perfect for a foggy day at the beach. I’m not too into that last one. Those types of outfits swallow me whole as someone who is 5’4″ and needs to shorten most pants. I feel like that trend works better on tall people, but that’s just my opinion.

Can you believe we have less than a month of summer vacation left? Where is the time going! If you haven’t hit the beach yet, it’s time to go now! This swimsuit coverup is priced under $50 and is perfect for covering up and going from the beach into a shop or restaurant. It also works well for a pool party or cruise. Love that!

Pieces we can wear summer into fall are hot right now. Items such as these comfy and soft denim joggers or street sneakers are ideal for rocking a fall look now, while it is still summer, and can still be worn throughout the fall season, and early winter. Love!

Handbags are a great way to rock fall trends when the weather is still screaming summer. This fall, top handle bags, bucket bags, shoulder bags, hobo bags, and quiet logos will be hotter than hot. Keep rocking your beautiful bags! If the logo is in more than one place on the handbag, the bag can be stored for another season. Logo mania will return someday!

If you have been eyeing something for fall from the Nordstrom sale, it ends Sunday. Prices will go up to retail. Check out my favorites from the sale for fall here.

Summer into fall is starting! Despite sky high temperatures outside, shoppers are starting to pick up fall pieces to fill in their current wardrobes. The fall season tends to be a season of mixing and matching clothing from summer and fall since temperatures cool down slightly, but we can still have days which reach over one hundred degrees.

I’m loving this casual dress as a fabulous piece to wear now and well into the fall season. It can easily be paired with a denim jacket on cooler summer nights and fall days. It also looks super cute with a scarf on cooler days! Love that!

These joggers are a fabulous investment since they can be worn right now and well into the fall season. They can also be worn during the winter months with a cozy sweater! I picked up an ivory turtleneck sweater from the Nordstrom Sale which looks super cute with them! These joggers are a great investment piece which are also an easy alternative to jeans. Love!!

Golden accessories are hotter than hot right now, and these boots are new for fall! The price goes up to retail on July 31, 2022, so if you are on the fence, snap up a pair! They also come in neutral hues if you are looking for boots which are more understated. I have already done some walking in mine and the heel offers good arch support for my planter fasciitis. Love that!

Box bags are huge right now, and this one is beautiful. Stay tuned for my upcoming review!
