Spring is here! At least on our nails.

Dior has given us two fresh and pretty nail polish colors for the spring 2026 season, and I love it! There is a vibrant mint hue named “Minty” which offers understated sparkles and dimension. Dior has also given us a fabulous sheer and sparkling pink named “Fizzy” which adds dimension and fun for the warm weather season; and it also doubles as a top coat. Love them both!

As we move into the spring season, we are seeing subtle pops of color added to our timeless, neutral outfits. Spring nail polish is an easy way to automatically add a pop of color to our everyday looks. I know I will wear Minty throughout the season! In fact, I am wearing it as I type this post.

So, without further ado, here are the two beautiful new nail polish colors from Dior for spring 2026!

I’m not sure why Fizzy is classified as nail polish, it does seem to be more of a top coat. Of course, there is a trend to wear clear nail polish with sparkles, so this does fit right into that trend. If you like sheer polishes, this will be perfect! If you prefer solid colors and enjoy adding dimension to your manicure, then Dior Fizzy nail polish will make a fabulous top coat. I plan to use it as a top coat.

What do you think? Do you have a favorite? While I love both nail polish colors for the spring 2026 season, Dior Minty is my favorite and I plan to wear it often.

If you would like to choose one for the office, Dior Fizzy nail polish will work better in a professional environment. Minty is more of a fun and carefree nail polish color, or one for a more creative work environment.

The return of the drawstring bag

drawstring bag trend 2026

wearing: sunglasses / earrings / peacoat / sweater / drawstring bag (old, similar here) / spring nail polish / jeans / sneakers /

The drawstring bag is back! It went on a hiatus for a few years, and in 2025, it crept back into style and is now showing up in almost every designer and brand collection for 2026. Get ready for it!

If you already have a drawstring bag, whether pouch or bucket, it is time to bring it back out from the back of your closet and into the rotation. In addition to the drawstring style, look for brighter hues plus classic neutrals. So, if you are like me and own a colorful drawstring bag, it’s back in style! Rock it now and for the next few seasons. Love that!

One rule though, no logos! Your drawstring bag should be beautiful leather or faux leather or canvas or fabric. No logos. Sorry LV girls! Keep that logo bag in the closet.

One thing to remember with drawstring bags, they are open at the top. So be sure to secure your smaller items inside your bag so you don’t experience spillage, especially in the car.

If you don’t already own a drawstring handbag to pull out from your personal archives, I recommend investing in a fun one! Choose a color or neutral you see yourself wearing a lot this year. It’ll be a fun alternative to your belted totes, east/west bags, chain shoulder bags, and hobos.

Enjoy the drawstring bag trend. It’s fun yet understated; and offers a fresh alternative to the rest of the continuing handbag trends in 2026. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more in 2026!

Land’s End canvas tote review

How cute is this small version of Land’s End classic canvas tote bag! Love!

So, I already own the medium sized tote from Land’s End in red. I have used it for several years and love the durability, practicality, and timeless appeal. So, I thought the small version would come in handy for going to the gym, the beach, and anytime I want a casual tote. Love it!

The interior of the small tote has one small pocket and one large pocket. This is handy for keeping smaller items such as Kleenex, lipstick, and receipts in order. There is also a key strap, just like in the larger tote, which hooks onto your keychain so you can easily find your keys. Love!

In addition, the exterior features a small pocket, which I haven’t found a use for yet, but might be useful in the future. We shall see! You can also have the tote personalized, just like with the larger sizes. My medium tote is not personalized, but I thought it would be fun to personalize the canvas tote. You can choose your color and font. I love the blue I chose, but next time I might go with a darker color.

You can also add a cross-body strap! After using the tote for a few weeks, I have come to the conclusion I should order the strap. I think it would be nice to have the option of using the tote hands-free.

The canvas tote from Land’s End is available in a variety of colors, so the color combos with personalization are endless. Love that! I plan to get a lighter color as we move into spring. This is such a great little canvas tote!

If you are looking for a casual small tote, or if you are interested in one of the larger sizes, I highly recommend the Land’s End canvas tote bag. The medium canvas tote has five pockets, and the small canvas tote has three pockets. The price is right, plus they are extremely durable. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by!
