Handbags can be expensive, I know.  Since a big chunk of our salaries gets allocated to purchasing purses and handbags, no one can blame us if we decide not to get on the trend wagon.  Don’t despair yet.  The great thing nowadays is that there are so many great options of handbags from all price points that it’s easier than ever to find purses of good quality which are also in trend.  Then we can invest the more significant money on classic bags that will never go out of style, but for now, we’ll focus on the purse trends this Fall.

All in all, we aren’t really trendy if after evaluating Fall’s best fashion trends, we fail to do the same with the accessories that will spruce up those outfits.  We got our everyday ankle boots covered; now it’s the time for our purse collection to get equal treatment.  This season is offering up bags in unusual shapes, in many different materials from chunky chain handles, lucite and fringes.  The belt bag is still a must for the fashion lady who prefers hand free bags.  A pretty saddle with fringe is always fun and comes with an excellent price tag.

travel like a celebrity

Everyone likes to feel glamorous, but on an airplane ride, you might not feel like your absolute best. Wouldn’t it be nice to travel like a celebrity?  Famous musicians and actors always seem to look stunning no matter where they are, but what do celebrities wear when they go on a trip on a plane?  Here’s a hint: they keep it simple and comfortable.  Sitting on an airplane on a trans-Atlantic flight won’t always be the most comfortable, even in first class, but you’ll feel more refreshed and stylish if you choose comfortable clothes and essential skincare products to help you through the trip and don’t forget your oversized sunglasses.

Seven Stylish Faux Fur Coat

I absolutely love the classic style of Margot in the Royal Tenenbaums, more specifically, her fur coat and Kelly bag, although in this picture she is actually holding a Birkin.  As much as I love the allure of a fur coat, I have a conscious which I try to feed every day on mostly good stuff, so a real fur coat is not an option for me.  Full disclosure, I have a vintage fur vest that I purchased more than ten years ago from a Sunday flea market in the streets of New York City.  Ten years later and I’m thinking of a faux fur coat which in some cases can provide the allure and classic style of a real fur coat without making you feel guilty.

While looking for one that looks as realistic as possible, I found this one.  For a more glamorous and colorful version of a faux fur coat, an oversized one will do just fine.  A faux fur coat with the name teddy in it is pretty adorable.  A leopard-print faux fur coat for the very brave ones.  A very chic chocolate color one for a glamorous night.  A short light pink one for the day.  And finally a black one for the days when we only want to wear black.

button-front skirt 1

Button-front skirt is the chicest clothing piece at the moment.  Perhaps it’s the retro vibe that speaks to the 70’s fashion-obsessed inside me or the fact that almost every fashion brand has produced one within the past year.  From classic mini skirts by Balmain with its recognizable front buttons to the below the knee checked midi skirt with transparent buttons by Balenciaga this Fall, the button-front skirt will give you that polished architectural look we all want sometimes.  It’s a fact that button-front skirts are not coming in denim fabric anymore; instead, they come in all kinds of materials and textures that gives us the freedom to use them any time of the year.

Don’t think that ankle boots are ever going away.  Ankle boots are as we speak already a classic shoe and a closet staple for every woman.  Regardless of our age, we all want to look our best; some follow fashion, others don’t.  However, passion for footwear is one common thread among women and booties is on the top of the list for many.  Ankle boots are versatile, easy to wear and on occasions, elegant as well.  I’ve seen some fashion writers refer to this chic footwear as the ultimate MVP and I have to say, completely agree.

Sweater Weather, sweaters under 300

Sweater Roundup, sweaters under 300

It’s Sweater Roundup time, and it’s time to start thinking about what sweaters to add to our winter clothes repertoire.  In this roundup of sweaters, we are suggesting various styles from oversized chunky ones to classic turtlenecks to striped pullovers because we should all have options when it comes to dressing, right?  Sweaters are to me in cold weather what dresses are to me in Summer; they facilitate getting dress better than any other piece in our wardrobes.  Nothing makes my morning routine easier when getting ready to take my son to school, than putting on a sweater over skinny jeans.  It’s a no-brainer, stylish and comfortable.  I pair the outfit with an ankle boot for Fall and voila!  BTW, a couple of these sweaters from last year are on sale now.
