Oversized leather bags are one of this year’s biggest fall trends - and for good reason.

This one from Eric Javits has been a favorite of mine; it’s chic, polished, and spacious enough to carry everything I need (yes, even my laptop!)

I have a feeling this is going to stay a staple in my seasonal capsule, thanks to its balance of practicality and sophistication. Maybe you’ll feel the same 🤍

I’ve linked some under-$100 finds below so you can try the trend, too

Hi there, I’m Chrissy - it’s so nice to e-meet you!

Welcome to my little slice of the internet, where minimalism and maximalism meet. Here, you’ll find the balance between clean, timeless essentials and bold, expressive details.

I love to share styling inspiration, vintage and thrifted finds, elevated yet affordable dupes under $100, and ways to create a wardrobe that feels both intentional and personal.

Whether you lean minimalist, maximalist, or somewhere in between, you’re always welcomed here 🤍

(p.s. I added as many dupes as I can for this one as I couldn’t find the originals on LTK)

A winter capsule outfit idea: a black blazer, a cozy knit dress, and deep berry tights 🍷

I wore this recently and I still can’t get it off my mind. It’s effortless, elegant and easy to dress up and down, especially for the holiday season! I tagged similar options for the dress, tights, and blazer below ❤️

#LTKSeasonal #LTKdayinmylife #LTKHoliday

Winter outfit idea: I love a good cozy knit and this off-the-shoulder sweater will always do it for me (it also kept me pretty warm!) ❄️

Pairing it with some denim? Even better 💙

My sweater is originally from Francesca’s and I’ve always gotten compliments wearing it anywhere I go. I linked it below + other cute dupes as well!

You can argue with me on this, but I’ll never let go of the off-the-shoulder chunky white knit 🤍

Holiday outfit inspo: the little white dress (Christmas edition) 🎄🤍

There’s something so timeless about a white dress during the holiday season - it’s elegant, fresh, and stands out beautifully against all the deep winter tones. Style it with cozy textures, a statement coat, or your favorite heels to make it festive without overdoing it.

Denim skirts and knee-high boots will always be a constant fall trend in my book. It’s the kind of pairing that transitions effortlessly from cozy daytime outings to festive evening plans.

I love big sweater, big pants season, especially as a thanksgiving outfit (I still kept my signature heel + small purse combo though!)

For an oversized fit, I prefer to size up several sizes, especially with the sweater.

The best thing about a black maxi dress? It’s an instant fall outfit and a last-minute Halloween costume. Just add a hat and cape for a chic DIY witch look: broom optional 🧙🏻‍♀️

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKSeasonal #LTKHalloween

As a (mostly) neutral girl, my fall wardrobe always gravitates toward shades of brown. From deep mocha to soft camel, these hues add warmth and sophistication to any minimalist base 🤎

This Eric Javits bag has quickly become a staple in my rotation. Its rich tone and effortless structure make it the kind of accessory that doesn’t just complete an outfit - it elevates it.
