handbag wish list summer 2023

Summer 2023 handbag wish list from top left: turquoise mini bag (under $1000) / studded handbag / sparkling handbag (IT bag under $500) / top handle bucket (IT bag under $1000) / beige shoulder bag / tan shoulder bag (under $500) / grey tote bag / pale turquoise tote / black hobo bag /

Well, as you know, I love handbags! I have a huge handbag wish list, and for the summer 2023 season, my list is long! Of course, I will not be able to indulge in all of these bags, but a girl can dream, right?

This summer 2023 season, I really want to add one, beautiful investment bag to my collection. A beige or tan bag would be ideal since my collection is mostly black bags. In addition, I don’t have a grey bag! I have always wanted to invest in a grey handbag, but some other color always catches my eye (cough cough, black). So, I need to really focus and invest in a grey bag! I love this beautiful and classic tote bag in grey. It is a style which transcends trends and can be worn in every season. I have had my eye on it for quite some time, so snapping one up in grey would be a wise investment.

I also love fun colors in the summer months! How cute is this little mini bag in bright turquoise?! I love the pop of color for summer.

Studded bags are always a favorite of mine. I had a medium brown Prada bag twenty years ago with beautiful studs on it, and when I stopped wearing it on a regular basis, I sold it. It is the one bag I regret selling. I will never sell a studded bag again! This beautiful, slouchy ivory bag with studs is high on my summer investment list. Isn’t it fabulous? The studs are edgy, yet the ivory hue and slouchy silhouette give it a relaxed and feminine vibe. I am in love!

It is almost officially fall! Despite the close proximity of the fall season’s start date, the weather here in the Bay Area has been heating up like crazy! I wore these fall wide leg pants last weekend when temperatures soared to 103 degrees. They kept me cool, while allowing me to rock one of fall 2017’s trends; the wide leg pant.

Wide leg pants for fall are a huge trend! We are seeing all types of fabrics being constructed into fall wide leg pants. I love how this pair flows and offers an on-trend stripe pattern featuring navy and winter white. This winter white ruffle top works perfectly with the pants; and it is a cool fabric making it perfect for early fall’s hot temperatures. When the weather cools down in about five to six weeks, this ruffle top and these wide leg pants will transition into cooler temperatures with the addition of boots and a moto jacket; bonus points if it’s a silver moto jacket! So hot for fall!!

The pants, ruffle top, and shoes make a complete outfit priced under $115. Isn’t that amazing!! I love finding great deals on fashion-forward items which will take me through an entire season.

What do you think about the fall wide leg pant trend this season? Is this a trend you plan to rock? It is pretty easy to wear, even if you are short. I am 5’4″ and I love how they look. These pants can be worn at the ankle, or cropped; depending on your height, and where they hit you. Cropped wide leg pants are just as hot, and on trend, as regular length. Which type do you prefer?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale public access and restocks 2017

 in Bay Area Fashion / NSALE / Shopping  tagged fall 2017 / nordstrom / nordstrom anniversary sale / outfits / proenza schouler by

wearing: rose gold earrings / Chanel summer lipstick / blue winter coat (also comes in a pretty pale pink color) / black v-neck tee / Chanel summer nail polish / Proenza Schouler Hava satchel / fall girlfriend jeans / fall 2017 booties (avl in black and taupe too)

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public starting day! Whoopee! I am so happy because I am not a cardholder, so now I can buy a few things without asking my Mom if I can borrow her Nordstrom card. haha

Today I bought this pair of tapestry slides (so hot for fall!!) and this pair of silver slides (also a hot fall trend). I cannot wait to receive them! Slides are one of the hottest, must-have trends for fall 2017, and these prices are SO GOOD!

Can we talk about this classic and cozy coat for a bit? I bought this coat at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last year, and it sold out within the first two weeks of the sale. I didn’t even get a chance to post it on the blog last year! Despite it not making an appearance on the blog, I wore it all. the. time! It fits well, and it is super cozy. I thought my eyes were deceiving me when it re-appeared in the sale this year! I did a label check, and even looked at it in-store to make sure it was the same coat. It is the same coat! It is also offered in a really pretty pale pink this year. If you are looking for a comfortable and cozy, classic coat for the late fall, and winter seasons, this is the coat! The price is crazy good, and this coat is extremely good quality. Doesn’t it look new? I wore it to death last year! I plan to wear it to death this year too!

These booties are turning into my favorite pair of shoes; despite the hot weather. They are super comfortable, and they seem to match everything! Nordstrom just added them in black today, so you can choose from black, taupe and charcoal. Love them!

So far, these are my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchases, what have you picked up so far from the sale? Remember, it ends August 6, 2017; and then the prices go up to regular price!

Happy shopping, and stay fabulous!!
