It’s a gloomy (yet balmy) 80 degrees in New York this morning, yet the first signs of fall are upon us. Mornings have become ever so slightly cooler, and evenings have begun to offer the kind of light breeze that quietly whispers, “Fall is almost here.”
Soon, I’ll be trading cold brews for hot lattes, sweltering evening jogs for cool morning runs, ballet flats for my favorite Bottegas, and summer bags for fall carries
Trading Summer Carries for Fall
Truthfully, most of my bags are seasonless, and I wear them all year long, but I’m excited to reach for a few of my bags that haven’t gotten enough love this summer. My summer rotation has mostly been a mix of sleek little carries, like my Savette Symmetry Pochette and my Prada Cleo. My Bottega Mini Jodie in Ice Cream has been getting a lot of love, too.
As summer ends and fall begins, I sometimes carry more with me, as fall is my favorite season for reading and writing in the park or tucked away in a cozy corner of a coffee shop. Naturally, I also tend to reach for my more neutral bags in the fall.
I’m looking forward to breaking back out my Gucci Half Horsebit Shoulder Bag, which truly just screams fall, and getting more use out of my Celine Small 16 bag, which easily holds my journal tucked away in one of the compartments or a book (depending on the size), yet doesn’t get as much love as it should!
Worn and Loved Loud Luxury
Additionally, I’ve been loving the look of a worn-in (aka well-loved) Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag. Although many of us are still leaning into quiet luxury, I will always love the look of a Monogram. And with the return of loud luxury, the pendulum is swinging back our way—finally!
The Speedy was my first love (and my second bag baby ever!), and though I’ve since sold my Speedy 30 in Damier Azur, my Monogram 25 will forever be a staple in my closet, no matter how much my style changes! I’m looking forward to styling it this fall as the leaves change and I break out more of my neutrals.
What bags are you excited to wear as the weather cools off? Are you breaking out oldies but goodies or getting ready to add something new to the rotation?
My cognac Speedy 25!!! Come on out girl!
I have never been interested in purchasing straw or raffia bags. All my bags are year round options. I am getting a bit excited to make another purchase…I think I need a Chanel Preppy Coco in the small size.
