The new year is in full swing! A new year calls for new investment bags, pearl jewelry, fun nail polish, and a floral fragrance. Love!

This new spring nail polish from Dior is fabulous! My full review, with swatches of both spring colors, is coming next week. So stay tuned!

As spring starts to appear on store shelves, we are starting to see minor pops of color, shades of white, more anonymous handbags, pearl jewelry, and more floral based fragrances being featured by stores. It will be fun to see which trends dominate the sales floor!

Stay tuned for everything spring 2026 as we move into the new year! Trend report hits the blog next week!

Veronica Beard Dash Bag review

How fabulous is the Veronica Beard Dash Bag! You may have noticed I have been featuring this bag in collages for quite some time. It has been number one on my wish list throughout 2025. Finally for Christmas, I gifted it to myself! Love!

The Veronica Beard Dash Bag is available in multiple sizes; I decided on the medium because I felt like it worked perfectly for daily use. I can fit my daily essential inside the bag which include my wallet, sunglasses, phone, keys, a small Kleenex package and lipstick. With those items, there is plenty of room inside the bag for extras such as snacks, gloves, and more!

There are several colors available on the Veronica Beard Dash Bag. I decided to go with classic black because, well, I love black handbags! It is timeless and easy to wear with any outfit in black. Love it!

The interior of the Dash Bag offers a double slip pocket and a zipper pocket. The clasp is magnetic and there is a removable crossbody strap. In case you are wondering about quality, it is beautiful! The leather is thick without being heavy; plus, it is soft, durable, and extremely high quality. This bag feels like it’s much more expensive than it is. In fact, it offers better quality than a lot of bags on the market right now which are well into the four figures. I am in love!

The Veronica Beard Dash Bag is definitely an investment bag. I am thrilled to have gifted it to myself!

So, if you are looking for the perfect classic belted tote, this it is! Plus, it is under $1000. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by!
