This beautiful, sparkling rust colored nail polish from Hermes for the spring and summer 2026 season is back in stock! Love that! You can find it online here.
Of course, it might sell out quickly again, if that is the case, I linked up a couple of similar rust nail polishes from around the web which work perfectly for the rust nail polish trend this warm weather season. Love!
Rust colored nail polishes for spring:
Well, that’s it! I love this color and it has the perfect vibes for warm summer days, late summer and early fall style. Stay tuned for my review of the Hermes spring/summer 2026 nail polish collection!
Welcome to 2026 and all the new, and continuing, handbag trends! Well, as we move into 2026, there are a few slight tweaks to what’s trending in handbags, but all-in-all, investment bags and the anonymous handbag continue to reign supreme.
The overall handbag in 2026 is anonymous. Logos are out and high quality, timeless style is in. Handbags should have high quality fabrications, clean looks, and no loud logos.
There are several handbag trends continuing from last year into 2026. We are continuing to see east/west bags, belted totes, drawstring bucket bags, hobo bags, timeless shoulder bags, and classic chain strap shoulder bags.
One of the new and emerging trends includes going back 15-20 years to the IT bag era. The Balenciaga City Tote is exploding. If you already own one, pull it out from the back of your closet and rock it now. If you don’t own one, but love the soft, slouchy, moto look, snap one up for your investment collection. In addition, we will see other former IT bags make a resurgence. So, if you own an IT bag from that era, pull it out and wear it. Think lots of pockets, mirror finishes (silver and gold), Fendi bags, and the Chloe Marcie.
What’s new for 2026? In addition to retro IT bags, look for bags in shades of white, pops of color, soft and slouchy drawstring bags, more exaggerated east/west styles, chain details apart from a functional strap, and larger sizes.
Thankfully there isn’t one IT bag, must-have. Those days are over, for now. Handbags under $1000 convey just as much an IT vibe as bags over $3000. So, rock those anonymous handbags and continue to invest in timeless styles you can wear forever. Love that!
Some of my favorite handbags from around the web which are right on trend for 2026:
Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more in 2026!
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!
XOXO
