Amanda Batula Embraces Fall Fashion with Bold Oversized Accessories: 'No More Tiny Bags and Frames! - lulu

   

Ever wonder what your favorite celebrities buy when they’re browsing their favorite boutique or shopping online late at night? Welcome to Six Picks, where we ask stars to spill their style and beauty must-haves — so you can shop like you’re famous, too.

Amanda Batula is the “It” girl of Bravo.

The “Summer House” star, 33, may not have created a line of clothing with Amazon or modeled for Victoria’s Secret like co-stars Paige DeSorbo and Ciara Miller, respectively, but she is constantly cited by fans as the show’s standout style star.

So when the former graphic designer got into a blowout fight with husband Kyle Cooke over her desire to leave her position at his alcohol brand, Loverboy, and venture out on her own by starting a swimwear line, Bravo watchers were already invested emotionally — and ready to spend.

It should come as no surprise, then, that Batula — whose “Adam Sander”-inspired, tomboy-chic clothing and Hailey Bieber-esque no-makeup makeup philosophy are a departure from the ultra-girly DeSorbo and Miller — announced she’ll be dropping Amanda Batula Swim at South Moon Under early next year.

Today, she was revealed as the new creative director of Otra, an eyewear brand seen on the likes of Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Alex Cooper and more. The reality TV star tells Page Six Style that she’ll be responsible for photoshoots, the creative process and, perhaps most importantly, choosing trends for fall. First order of business? Saying goodbye to small sunnies.

Below, see all of Batula’s fall fashion and beauty picks. And while Cooke famously declared “summer should be fun,” his wife says “sunglasses should be chic.”

Staud Perry Suede Shoulder Bag

“I’m so over all the tiny little bags that you can’t even fit your phone in. You need a big ol’ bag that you can just throw everything into. Suede is just a bonus.”

Loverboy Classic Hat

“A hat will elevate your running-errands outfit, your going-for-coffee outfits, just anything. It helps you really channel that cool-girl, effortless, I-don’t-really-care kind of style.”

Otra Quinn Sunglasses

“Right now, these are my favorite Otra shades. Oversize sunglasses are coming back. We’re done with the tiny little bags, and we’re done with the tiny little frames. Hear me out: Big sunglasses will be back for fall, for winter, for whatever.”

Tan-Luxe x Paris Hilton The Future Kit

Tan-Luxe Mist and mittTan Luxe

“Very important is a self-tanner. Why? Because our summer tan is going away. This one is my absolute favorite. It comes out clear, so it’s not staining my sheets after. And it smells so good. I’ve never worn this and not immediately received a compliment on my tan.”

Kosas DreamBeam Sunlit Comfy Smooth Sunscreen

“As our tans fade from the summer, we want to bring that bronze back. But we still need to be making sure that we’re wearing our SPF.”

Susan Alexandra Make Your Own Necklace

“Last, but not least, is a cute little charm necklace. This one’s my favorite; it’s Susan Alexandra. They have all different kinds of charms that you can get, but you can get one from anywhere. I just think it’s so fun. It’s such a good conversation starter, too, and you can really personalize it. You can dress it up, you can dress it down, and it goes with anything.”
