Five Fall "It" Trends from the Runway

SHOP TRENDS FROM THE RUNWAY

1. HANDBAG ACCESSORIES

Pom pom bag charms for your handbag are still a big trend and this one is only $12, but now these patterned guitar straps, like this one with a tassel are a new way to accessorize your handbag.

2. VELVET

These rich velvet pumps would be perfect for upcoming Christmas and New Year parties. Or how about these velvet dresses.

3. OVER THE KNEE

The "IT" boots are still a hot trend and over the knee boots are not going away.  These boots are under $40 and a great deal.

4. PLUSH & COZY

Plush, cozy sweaters, jackets, and accessories are a fall trend. These fur sandals and bags are really fun - and definitely something that would get noticed. This shaggy cardigan is a great price - and would be so cozy and warm for winter!

5. BORROWED FROM MEN

The pinstripe menswear-inspired trend like this blazer could be worn with trousers or with skinny jeans and pumps for a dinner date. Or this sleeveless vest is 30%.  This off the shoulder dress is only $26 on sale!

These striped painter pants are also a fun, unique way to wear the trend. Also, menswear-inspired loafers are another big trend this fall.

It has been a few weeks since I did an outfit post.  I really like this color combination - and the white jeans are only $10 - and this Chloe look-alike bag is under $60.

I mentioned the other week I was looking for a new handbag.  I have had my Marc Jacobs bag for over three years - and I use it almost exclusively.  I am debating about getting another one - and I like this new tote (but I am not sure what color - and I am not sure if the handle drop is big enough.  I like to put it over my shoulder when shopping.)  I also like this tote.  I love the suede color - but not sure how well it would hold up.

 Also, this is the last week of our October Style Series - and we are sharing different ways to style a fall scarf.  Also, be sure to join the style link-up.

Kitchen Remodel Update & Top 5 Fall Picks

KITCHEN REMODEL

You may remember a few months ago when I mentioned that my husband and I were remodeling our kitchen. Well, everything is finally coming together. We have picked out our hardwood floors, and now we are trying to decide on an area rug and the color for the chairs.  (I shared my table back in this post.)

What option do you like for the rug and the chair color?

THREE THINGS IN MY SHOPPING CART

#1 NEW HANDBAG

I have been looking for a new handbag.  I want one that does not have gold or silver hardware.  I found this one - now I am wondering why I didn’t shop the 25% off sale a few weeks ago. I found another option that is really similar and is under $60. 

#2 FUNKY BOOTS

Style has become an eclectic mix of styles from decades ago.  We have the mix of punk-inspired grunge of the 90s with Doc Martins and lug platform soles, mixed with the Victorian-inspired lace up details in lace booties.  I really like these booties (and the lace up version, too) and these plaid ones.

#3 BASIC TEES

I stock up on basic tees - and I just found a new one that I like just about as much as the old one that I have loved for so many years. And, it is under $25!  This one is a looser version and is under $20.   And, a striped version for only $15.

TOP 5 SWEATERS UNDER $50

There are so many great fall sweaters right now - that are under $50!  Here are a few of my top picks.  In case you missed it, last week I shared my five fall must haves that are under $50.

1. COZY CARDIGAN

This cardigan can be worn many different ways.  It is a great layering piece - one that I own and have worn so much already.

2. SWEATER PONCHO

This fun cable knit poncho is 40% off right now and would be perfect for running errands on a fall weekend.

3. CABLEKNIT CREWNECK

This slightly oversized cableknit crewneck sweater is only $20!  And, it comes in four different colors. 

4. TEXTURED CARDIGAN

This textured cardigan is the perfect color for fall and it looks so comfortable.  Perfect for for sitting around the fire on a crisp fall day/evening! And, it is a great price.  There is also a very similar one in this color.

5. V-NECK SWEATER

A slightly oversized v-neck sweater can be worn year round - and this one comes in the best fall colors - and is under $40!

Also, I recently bought this sweater - and I love the color and how cozy soft it is.
