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!

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!

BAF Weekly IT List

The pops of color are starting to creep into our spring closets, and I am here for it! Keep investing in shades of blue, green, and pink as we move from spring into summer. They will be great add-ons to our neutral wardrobes, and also with each other!

That’s right! Color combos are back! As we move towards summer, look at matching your colors together and start seeing blue, green, pink, orange and yellow as neutrals in need of additional color. Street style is getting brighter and more light-hearted. Get ready!

That being said, the anonymous handbag is still king, so stay far away from logos; just add color! When it comes to handbags and shoes, only add one or two colors. Neutral hued handbags are always easier to incorporate into your wardrobe and will inevitably get worn more often. When you do add a color, pick your favorite hue which you feel you will wear the most often. For me, that’s blue followed by green or yellow. While I would love a bag in another hue, I know it won’t get worn very often.
