Some of us will remember when Diane von Furstenberg hit the scene in 1974. The Belgium born designer created the wrap dress, which at the time, came to symbolize power and independence for a generation of women. It also established Diane as a legendary fixture in the industry. If you don't already own a wrap dress, now is the time. It’s back for Fall 2018. I was cleaning out my closet last year and decided to hold on to a leopard print wrap dress. So glad I kept it.
Even in this heat, we have the sense that Fall is approaching. The days are getting shorter. The top six handbag trends in 2018 are showing up in the stores. Look for anything from structured box bags and top handles to furry bags.
The Boxy Structured Bags - straight off the runway. The ladylike bag is staging a comeback. Snakeskin prints can be a great neutral.
The Faux Fur Bags —from tiny accents to strap details to full-on fur bags.
The Top Handle – Comes in unique streamlined shapes. Great for minimalists.
Totes and Hobos - Make space this season for roomier totes and hobos. Over-
sized carryalls re-emerged on the Fall 2018 runways, making life much easier for the woman on the go. Can fit your laptop and everyday essentials.
The Drawstring Bag – Great way to add some color and embellishments.
The Belt Bag - Fanny packs have dominated Fall 2018 runways. This beloved belt bag isn't going anywhere fast.
Animal prints have been a wardrobe staple on and off for years. Fall 2018 you will see the trend come again and take over. You will have endless options from leopard to snakeskin and zebra. One of the easiest options is a scarf, belt or necklace to dress up any outfit.
