Each year and each season brings a new selection of designer goodies. With so much temptation, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Thankfully, PurseBop is here to keep you informed and looking stylish. Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been highlighting some of the biggest trends and “it” items of the season in a Fall Spectacular Series to help you stay in the loop. Today, we’re summing up our investigation with a review, tips and tricks for shopping, and celebrity inspiration.
So, what has this year brought for Fall trends? Let’s take another look…

Why Velvet? Designers are playing with texture this year. Velvet is luxurious and plush. It can be an experience for both your hands and your eyes.

Why Studs? Embellishments add life to any accessory. Studs are edgy, yet sophiscated.

Why Patterns? People often associate colder seasons with drab, boring colors. Fall is a great time to stand out and rock something bold and funky too!

Tips & Tricks for Fall Shopping
So you know what’s hot and trending right now, but how do you incorporate these items into your own collection? Read our tips and tricks below.
#1 Be open to experimenting! If something scares you because it’s too bright or bold you might need to try it…
#2 Master Your Neutrals. PurseBop has been on the quest for a neutral bag because they really are the basis of your collection. Learn more about neutrals from BopTalk celebrity @Kugzz: The Perfect Neutral-ista.
#3 Don’t forget about color. Get at least one thing in a dark, vampy color like burgundy, emerald green, or a dark brown. These colors tend to be super rich and vibrant, and will instantly put you in the Fall mood.
#4 Cover all your bases size-wise. As we’ve stated in our Q&A “Don’t Get Rid of Your Larger Bags Just Yet“, bag sizes are cyclical. For this season, make sure you have a fabulous mini bag, a solid everyday bag, and a carry it all tote to fulfill all your needs!
#5 Out with the old, in with the new! Try throwing away a couple of pieces that have served their time or that you haven’t reached for in awhile. This will help you get a better idea of what you really need. You’ll also be able to work more productively with the things you already have.
#6 Before you buy, do some reflection! After going through your wardrobe, take a minute to define your own style to yourself. Writing a few words down in a notebook may help. You may think you know what you like, but narrowing down your preferences and having a better understanding of your style will prevent you from making impulse purchases.

Though I think velvet is beautiful, I´m a little hesitante about it, I think it´s fragile and consequently the bag/shoe longevity is compromised…if I´m to buy something expensive, I believe it has to last forever hehe but it really is gorgeous ;)
