Color blocking is a trend that will continue to make its way into the fall. While looking for pieces to put together, I wanted something that would transition into fall, but still have lots of color. I like how the Topshop monochromatic dress and cobalt blue Asos clutch compliment each other. The best part of this outfit is everything is under $200.
Will you still be color blocking for fall?
Is it just me or did the summer go by really quickly?! I've walked pass many store windows only to find clothing geared up for fall. Now is a great time to get a lot of your fall essentials. You can get many designer pieces for 20% off or better. I compiled this list of fun, designer duds you can get and not break the bank. As an added bonus, you can wear a few of these pieces now into fall.

Leopard print just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It could be worn alone or you can add accessories to make a look pop like I did here. For those who are just a bit nervous about adding the animalistic print to your wardrobe, start small. By adding simple jewelry, a belt or sunglasses you can still take advantage of it without looking overdone.

As much as I like to indulge in trends, I tend to rock to my own beat when it comes to fashion. The "it" piece can turn into a thing of the past in the blink of an eye. I haven't seen fringe bags going on in the streets as much as I used to. This weekend I went throught my closet (trust it was a battle), but I found my mine that I bought 2 years ago (pictured above). I will continue to rock it into the fall season too.
I found a few that I think you fly fashionistaz will love as well.

I love when I come across a hidden gem. I'm always in search of ways to find new accessories preferably bags. So I was too happy when I came across the site Bags Bonanza. This is a bag-nistas paradise! There were so many styles, colors and brands too choose from. As soon as you get to the homepage, it's clearly laid out with choosing a brand, style and price for a bag. I'm obsessed with Michael Kors bags and loved that I founds styles I've never seen before. Also, its partner site Bonanza.com is a huge marketplace for fashion and accessories. You can buy or sell merchandise, negotiate in real time, browse through hand-picked items, or visit a virtual garage sale (they call them "Bonanzas"). Its the best ebay alternative. I felt like a kid in a candy store searching for vintage accessories.
Here are a few bags and vintage accessories on the site.

ASOS Leather Colour Block Satchel (also comes in turquoise)
I had purchased a satchel, but had rarely used it even though I love the color. I found a more creative way to pair it when I wore this outfit. With this summer being about all the brights, its great to see color blocking has hit handbags. I'd go casual rocking it with this tee and cut off shorts. These colors would look pretty fly into fall as well.
It's pretty hard to think about spring when over here on the East Coast we're bracing ourselves for another snow storm. These bucket style bags with an edge are so vibrant. I especially love the yellow! Well, if I'm snowed in tomorrow, besides providing fab-u-lous posts for you, my fab readers, I'll be stalking the Michael Kors site to refresh my closet for all things spring. I'm looking ahead already...

Which vintage style bag do you love?
