Hermes has restocked their spring summer nail polish! If you were waiting to get your hands on it, you can find it online here. Love! In addition, Dior has released their summer nail polish and there is a fabulous golden hue and a blue polish. I am wearing the blue one as we speak! Love it!

As we breeze through the spring season and look towards summer, the anonymous handbag remains supreme. In addition, touches of glam are hitting the streets with metallic accents, more jewelry, and pops of color. Our minimalist style is starting to get a personality. As you add glam to your overall looks, remember no logos! They are horribly out of style.

When it comes to fragrance, spicy florals and florals in general are hot right now. Love these classic spring summer scents!

Barrel jeans for spring

wearing: gold hoop earrings / blue sweater / black barrel jeans / spring nail polish / black handbag / gold bracelet / black boots (similar here) /

My younger daughter was home for spring break, so we went to one of her favorite restaurants for lunch, Din Tai Fung. Since it was lent, and we went on a Friday, we ordered vegetarian dishes. This was my first time only eating vegetarian dishes at Din Tai Fung, and it turned out to be delicious! I highly recommend the Vegan Spicy Won Tons. So good!

After lunch, we wandered the mall and did a small amount of shopping, of course! I wore my barrel jeans with this short sleeve blue sweater. It was perfect for the spring weather and also very comfortable. I am really in love with these barrel jeans! They are comfortable and just the right length. I love how you can pick the length for these jeans. It makes it easy for someone like me who wears petites pants to get the right fit. If you are petite, you know the struggle! I’m thinking I need a second pair in another wash. . . mmmm. . .

What do you think of the barrel jeans trend? Have you hopped on the bandwagon? Or are you waiting for the next trend in denim? Or are you just staying out of the ever-changing denim trend game?

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more spring break coverage coming up! I have one break left with my son!

XOXO

Hermes nail polish spring 2026 review

It’s finally here! Although Hermes released their spring/summer 2026 beauty collection in March, the nail polish sold out within hours. Thankfully it is back in stock, and you can finally get your hands on it! Love that!

As you know, rust nail polish is one of the spring 2026 nail polish trends which is hotter than hot right now. Hermes has given us the perfect rust for the warm weather season. It is a slightly sparkling nail polish which has some dimension and va-va-voom for spring. Love!

I tested out Hermes Brun Helios nail polish for spring/summer 2026 with one base coat and two coats of color. It was chip resistant and showed no signs of streaking. As expected of Hermes nail polish, it looks beautiful ad stay put.

So, if you have been eyeing this Hermes nail polish for the spring 2026 season, it’s here! You can find it online here.

What do you think? Will you be rocking this fabulous nail polish for the spring/summer 2026 season from Hermes?

Thanks for stopping by!
