Fall 2026 color trends from Pantone at NYFW

Color swatches c/o Pantone /

The color trends from the New York Fashion Week runways are here! We are starting to see more color going down the runways in addition to the neutral hues designers and consumers have been favoring over the past few years. This signals a trend towards re-adding color to our wardrobes. Love that!

The colors from NYFW for the fall/winter 2026/2027 season are offering a mix of traditional autumn hues and spring/summer shades. I love seeing “Neptune” and “All Aboard” mixed in with autumn colors such as “Red Mahogany” and “Burnt Olive.” This gives us leeway next fall to really play with the colors we choose to wear.

The top five neutral colors are also a mix in vivid, classic colors which play well together and also mixed with the vivid top ten hues from the runway. Love it!

Sparkling pink manicure for spring 2026

Pink manicure for spring 2026: sparkling Dior nail polish / pink Hermes nail polish /

Pink is hot for spring 2026, not just as an on-trend color, but as a classic spring hue; kinda like florals. haha See what I did there? The Devil Wears Prada 2 comes out in May, and I can’t wait to see it! But. . .I digress. . .we are talking about pink nail polish for spring.

While we wait for Chanel’s spring blue hue and Hermes to release their own spring/summer beauty collection, pink is always fresh and light for the spring season; even if the weather in your part of the world isn’t spring-like yet. This sparkling pink glitter nail polish from Dior’s spring 2026 beauty collection looks fabulous on top of any spring color, but it definitely adds a little va-va-voom to regular pink nail polish. I love the pink sparkling look for spring!

If you already have a pink nail polish in your collection, you can add this spring nail polish from Dior for the full effect, if not, this beautiful Hermes pink/rose is the perfect nail polish for your collection. Love!

Note: The Hermes nail polish shown is Rose Papillon Irise which was limited edition and is now sold out. Rose Coquille is also beautiful and slightly lighter than what I am showing. It too will look fabulous under Dior’s sparkling pink. My links will take you to Hermes Rose Coquille. Of course, any pink will look amazing with Dior Fizzy.

Zazil and night lights

wearing: pearl earrings / blue sweater / pearl necklace / peacoat / winter nail polish / black shoulder bag / black barrel jeans / black boots /

The weather was clear and spring-like this past weekend so we decided to enjoy a meal out at Zazil on Santana Row. We were lucky to get an outside table where we could the music from El Jardin, the night lights, and the overall evening buzz.

I was in a mole mood, so I ordered the Plantain Croquettes with mole sauce, and my husband enjoyed chicken enchiladas. As usual, the food was delicious. If you are local, and you haven’t been to Zazil, I highly recommend going; and order something with mole sauce! Yum!

After dinner, we enjoyed the overall mood of a weekend night at Santana Row and took some photos in front of NetApp’s digital art.

I wore my cozy peacoat and barrel jeans, which you may have noticed are a huge favorite of mine this season! Cozy cozy!

I hope you are enjoying this clear weather too, thanks for stopping by!
