My favorite bag for summer was my bucket bag.  Now though, with September right around the corner, and pumpkin spice everything hitting store shelves its time to pick out my favorite bag style for the upcoming cooler months!  So keep hold of that bucket bag or straw tote for a few more weeks and snag one of these trendy bags for when you are ready to face the fact colder days are fast approaching!

Structure

Whats the first difference in fall bags? Structure.  Soft buckets had their moment this summer, but for fall choose a bag that holds its shape!  Boxy square bags are coming on strong, so find a bag with great angles. kate-spade-holden

 

Fur

Okay, so this one is not for the faint of heart–but fur is big.  I vote to always make it faux, and keep our animals alive and well, but back to the fashion!  Fur is huge this fall in the forms of shoes, collars and of course bags. Keep yourself looking trendy and not like you are overdoing it by going for a clutch or envelope bag!

Since we did just talk about fur, why not take a walk on the wild side with a great snakeskin print bag.  Combine trends and get a structured crossbody bag!

As the 70’s trend continues to keep going strong, so does everyone’s love of fringe. If you didn’t pick one up this summer, now is the time!

The unexpected trend.  This bag wasn’t necessarily all over the runway, but cross body bags, especially the saddle bag style have been a big street trend with no sign of slowing down. Grad yourself one, they go with everything!

Fur Vest

Calvin Klein Faux Fur

Fur vest have been trending this winter, and I have to confess I am loving it.  Especially with the cold temperatures and frequent snow storms.  In faux fur seems perfectly cozy this season!

While stores offer a wide variety, I was struggling to find exactly the perfect one, at least, in my price range, so I decide to try to make my own!

 

 

 

 

What you need
A vest to use as a template
Faux fur fabric (the size of the vest)
Sharp scissors
Sewing machine, or needle and thread
Something to mark fabric with (I like chalk)

1) Lay out your fabric, folded in half with furry sides together.  Trace out your vest, with an extra half inch around the outside to allow for the seam.

2) Cut out along your traced lines.  You should have two identical pieces.  One of them will be the front, cut this piece in half, and shape it however you like.  I rounded the front corner, and had it arch out to create the V part of the neck, which you can see below.

3) Now you should have three pieces.  Lay the two front pieces on top of the back, furry sides together, with matching seams aligned.  Sew along the top edges, and down the two sides, under the arm holes, as seen below.

Turn it right side out, and ta-da! You have an easy, but fantastically stylish faux fur vest!

Until then, xo –S
