Brown Purses for Fall | STAINED COUTURE

You know it’s officially Fall fashion time there is abundance of brown bags everywhere! And I say brown bags everywhere, I mean that they are in very shade of brown. Fall fashion is also the time is when it’s fun to experiment with different textures. I love it!

Here are some bags that I’ve been obsessing and stalking online. Hopefully, you find one or more to love, too!

Brown Bags for Fall 2024

  • Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag This hobo style bag from Coach is the ‘It’ Bag of the season. The Coach brand has really been showing out over the past few years and they don’t appear to be slowing down.
  • Fossil Carlie Satchel -It looks like suede is going to be big this season! This bag from Fossil is perfect and very lightweight and roomy.
  • Patchwork Shoulder Bag – Can’t choose between the look of suede or leather? This patchwork shoulder bag gives you both without looking too busy.
  • Embossed Leather Shoulder Bag – Embossed leather purses will always elevate your look and style. The brass lock closure makes this bag look luxe.
  • Metal Closure Crossbody – A classic crossbody bag with gold closure will never go out of style and go with everything.
  • Vintage Vegan Leather Flap Top Handle Bag – Another classic bag for fall. Clean, simple shapes will always work.

LUST-HAVE LIST: October 2024

LUST-HAVE LIST| October 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

Hey you – Happy October! I hope your October has started off a lot smoother than mine, but that’s a rant for another day. We’ve gathered here today to see what items I would love to acquire this month. Despite how the month started for me, I have faith that it’s going to get better moving on!

The Fall vibes have taken over me and my space, but in scents and decor only. I’ve been long overdue to change my wardrobe, because I’m over the oversize tops and leggings combo. Maybe October will be the month that I step it up. However, in the meantime, checkout the items I’m wanting this month!

LUST-HAVE LIST: October 2024

  • Olaplex Bonding Curl Gel – I’ve been wearing my hair mostly curly for months now. Olaplex has been good to me in the past, which made super excited to see that they have a bonding curl gel. This definitely at the top of my want list.
  • ‘REPLICA’ Afternoon Delight perfume – I’ve been feening to add a new scent to my life and the lates scent from REPLICA sounds right for me. I’ve become a warm vanilla girl and I need to have this on me for fall and winter.
  • Cute Fleece Camo Jacket – Initially, I was shopping around for a nylon camo jacket for chilly fall days. However, this fleece camo moment changed my mind, because it looks like a floral print. Also, it being a fleece jacket is the cherry on top.
  • Large Olive Green Bucket Bag – I shouldn’t have to explain why I want this next item, because look at it! However, I’ll give you a brief reason – it’s a large olive green bucket bag that give casual chic Fall. Done.
  • Teva Commute Moccasins – A hybrid pair of sneakers that look like they can take on a long fall hot girl walk while still being able to get styled? Throw it in the bag immediately

The products I used up in August is screaming “MY SKIN WAS TRIPPING!” and it’s not lying! My skin gets so mad real quick when I slack on the skincare, which I don’t blame it. I’m a strong proponent for shaming people to get it together. Keep reading to learn more about that and the other products I used up in August 2024.

LUST-HAVE LIST: September 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

This month’s Lust-Have List was almost a week late, which should tell you how my month has started. Still, I won’t let that deter me from ruining my birthday month! Although my birthday isn’t until later this month, I do plan to enjoy it as much as I can. So much so that I even went ahead and brought my box of fall decor from my storage. I pulled everything out the box, but I need to style it.

Speaking of style, I have no idea of what style I want to take on for fall. The issue is that I’ve lost 80 pounds over the last year and not really sure on how to dress this new body while still working losing more and toning. It’s so weird, but I’m trusting the process. Even though I’m not sure of my exact look for fall, this month’s Lust-Have List does include a couple things I want to include. Take a look at the things I’m wanting this month for my birthday month.

LUST-HAVE LIST: September 2024

  • Philadelphia Eagles Varsity Jacket – I’m so geeked about it finally being football season! I never was able to get the “princess Diana” Eagles jacket, but this varsity style jacket would make a nice runner up.
  • Slingback Buckle Shoes – What I love about these slingbacks is that they are flats with a chic twist.
  • Double Creme & Powder Blush – I’ve been dabbling with liquid blush for a minute, especially when topped with a powder. The duo coms with the powder and creme blushes in the shade. I love the shade because it would give me the right look of flushed skin.
  • Mini Shopper Bag – My obsession with mini bags continue and mini shopper bags have been my current faves.
  • Crystal Bezel Tennis Bracelet – I’ve  been loving the look that my duo dainty gold bracelets has been giving. However, I’ve been wanting to add the look of a diamond tennis bracelet without the price. I think the crystal tennis bracelet will be perfect!

LINK-END ROUND-UP: August 2, 2024 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy Friday and first Friday of August! When I tell you I’ve had one of the emotional rollercoaster weeks I’ve had in a long time; believe me. The highs were great and amazing, but the lows were in hell. I’ve been working alone in the office all week, with very minimal human interaction. Then I would love work and go back home; where I live alone. The ultimate cherry on top is that my period is a couple days away. It’s been the perfect storm all week!

In the end, I realize that I do need in-person human interaction sometimes. Oh, also, going outside for more than the couple minutes it takes me to walk from my car to work/home entry helps. Thankfully, this weekend, I will be back in the presence of other humans and will hopefully get out of the depressive era. I might even go get a pedicure, but I’m hoping my nail tech can squeeze me to repair my nail. However, a new set would melt away all the depression and stress I’ve been dealing with this past week.

In the meantime, I hope you all have a great weekend! If you are going to be inside trying to avoid the last summer heat, please check out the links in this week’s Link-End Round-Up.
