Fall Fashion Trends with Neiman Marcus

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

This most recent New York Fashion Week was truly one for the books. From the runway shows to the street style, I couldn’t have been more enthralled to see this season’s hottest styles!

Here are four fall fashion trends as predicted by Neiman Marcus, and spotted at NYFW by yours truly.

Red Hot

There’s no question that red is the color of the season. Whether you go with an all out monochromatic look, or just a pop of this bright hue, if you don’t have any of it in your closet currently, you’ll want to consider giving it a go!

Quite Luxury

Sophia Richie made rich girl chic a total vibe, and honestly this trend is one I absolutely ship. You don’t have to spend a ton to look expensive, just style chic basic pieces together in an effortless way.

Mini Skirts

Mini skirts are one trend from the 90s that I didn’t think I’d love a comeback from as much as I do. The shorter the better, we love a micro mini! In my opinion, this trend is the most versitile, seeing as how you can go grunge with a pair of lug boots and an oversized sweater, or preppy like I did here.

Fall Florals

Florals for fall may not be quite as common as for spring, but a dark floral dress gives autumn vibes in a way that nothing else can.

The 5 Best Belt Bags and Fanny Packs of 2023

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Like any other fashion trend handbag trends will for sure come and go. I often reach for bags that are more functional and practical, over the latest most popular ones. That said, belt bags (or fanny packs) are now back in a big way!

1. Louis Vuitton Monogram Bumbag

There’s a reason you see this bag on everyone from celebrities to street style fashionistas, and why it sells out so quickly after it’s back in stock. If you’re looking for a designer everyday handbag, I can’t recommend the Louis Vuitton Monogram Bumbag enough! Shop it secondhand via Fashionphile.

2. Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag

I almost hate how much everyone everywhere loves this bag. But I cant, because I absolutely get it. The Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is the perfect on the go bag for when all you really need are the basic essentials.

3. MZ Wallace Metro Sling Bag

I don’t personally own this one (yet), but I do love my MZ Wallace tote and how much it holds so when I saw it on Ashley of Everyday Pursuits’ Instagram, I immediately added it to my wishlist, same color and all. Whether you’re a mom or not, if you have a lot of stuff, the MZ Wallace Metro Sling Bag is for you.

4. Calpak Luka Belt Bag

This is another belt bag on my radar thanks to Instagram. I use the Calpak packing cubes when I travel and their Luka Belt Bag looks perfect to add to my travel essentials.

5. Dagne Dover Ace Fanny Pack

The Dagne Dover Ace Fanny is my favorite of these belt bags picks for the minimalist. It comes in 6 different core colors, and has enough pockets to stay organized.

Are you here for the return of the fanny pack trend? Which belt bag best suits you? Let me know in the comments!

Viva Magenta: How to Wear the Official Pantone 2023 Color of the Year

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Viva Magenta is the official Pantone 2023 Color of the Year. It is slightly deeper than the pink that’s had a chokehold on the fashion world.

While pink is a color that I am trying to wear more of, the Barbicore/Valentino pink shade isn’t the most on brand for me. This magenta though, is speaking to me on a deep and spiritual level.

Viva Magenta

Color hasn’t always been my thing, I’m definitely more of a neutral, all black kind of girl. However, bright colors have been calling out to me, and giving Viva Magenta a try felt like the right move. This Zara dress was not only on sale, but the absolute perfect shade of pink for this soon to be takeover trend.

This year, one of my goals is to shop my closet more. This Free People dress, that is really more of a tunic and can be worn as a shirt jacket, is a personal favorite of mine. If you’ve ever watched Schitt’s Creek, then I don’t need to tell you that it totally gives Alexis Rose vibes.

Here are some magenta pieces that I would immediately add to cart!

Ways to Wear Matching Sets

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

It should come as no surprise to learn that I love matching sets. I am all about versatility. Pieces that are easy to wear multiple ways? Too perfect!

As Is

The easiest outfit ever, is to wear a matching set as it is. If I’m not sure what to wear, I know that outside of a jumpsuit, a matching set is my safest bet. This Free People set is currently trending—

The other set I reach for often is this Cynthia Rowley set—

Switch The Top Out

Regardless of the type of set, I’m a huge fan of swapping out the top for a bodysuit. Skirts, pants, you name it, I style it with a bodysuit. And if not a bodysuit, it’s usually a basic or graphic tee, but you have options. Tons of them!

Wear It With Different Bottoms

As for the bottoms, I’m not opposed to switching those out as well. Jeans are typically my go to for this, but again there are tons of options.

Add Something To It

Given that I life in New England and the weather here is usually cold, I often add layers to my matching sets. Typically a jacket, be it denim or otherwise that I can easily fit under a coat in the winter, or take off in the summer.

If you don’t know what to wear, you can always follow me on Instagram, or go with a matching set. I also love one styled with a puffer vest!

How do you feel about matching sets?

Free People Favorites

Sharing my Free People favorites because no matter what fashion trends come and go, my personal style will always be just a little bit boho. And seeing as how Free People was my best selling brand of 2022, I’d say you probably have some of their pieces that you love as well!

Free People Favorites

Long Ruby

My Long Ruby shirt jacket is one of the things I reach for most, especially during those tricky transitional months. It’s hard to come by now, but I did find it here and there’s a shorter version as well.

Long Ruby

Skyline Midi Skirt

I’m guilty of buying the same thing in multiple colors. The Skyline Midi Skirt is probably the one thing I own in not two, not three, but four different colors! And to be completely honest, I might even get one or two more.

Skyline Midi Skirt

Tapered Baggy Boyfriend

Jeans are my jam, so naturally, I had to include one pair of We the Free jeans and finding this pair on sale and under $100 is just too good not to share!

Ottoman Slouchy Tunic

My favorite piece by far, is the Ottoman Slouchy Tunic. It’s so versatile! I’ve worn it with jeans, leggings, skirts, you name it. It can even be worn as a dress with over-the-knee boots!

Lennox Jumpsuit

Who doesn’t love a compliment? I have yet to wear the Lennox Jumpsuit and not receive several polite comments or requests for where I got it.

Don’t be at all surprised if there’s a part two to this post! What are some of your favorites from Free People?
