One of the things I can never figure out is why beauty companies don’t release winter nail polish collections. Do they think we are all wearing gloves the entire day? Well, not here in California at least! I’m sure people in colder climates take their gloves off indoors, which means, all of us deserve fabulous winter nails!

I decided to curate a few beautiful nail polish colors and deem them winter-worthy. This sparkling black nail polish from Chanel’s holiday collection is perfect for the current black nail polish trend, and the sparkles keep the festive mood from the holidays going throughout the winter season. Love that!

Pastels were starting to trend in 2023, and for 2024 we will see more! Why not make your nails 2024-ready with lavender or light blue nails? Love these hues!

Of course, navy nail polish is hot right now. This is a classic, dark blue hue which works well with any ensemble. I am a huge fan of navy nails. Love!

So, without further ado, here are a few fabulous nail polish colors for the winter season. Spring nail polish will come in within a month, but we don’t have to wait! Let’s winterize our nails right now!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more nail polish in the new year!

Winter handbags under $1000

This is a beautiful time in handbag history. Since the anonymous handbag is thriving, we have been blessed with many handbag brands who not only concentrate on high quality and craftsmanship, but they also keep their designs free from loud logos and flair. Many of these beautiful bags speak for themselves and are priced fairly instead of priced for a label. This is beautiful because we, as the consumer, have a large range of handbags to choose from which are not only timeless, but are hotter than hot; and priced under $1000. Love that!

Some of my favorite luxurious handbags priced under $1000 include Coach, Mansur Gavriel, and Demellier. In addition, there are luxury brands with a few handbag styles we can snag for under $1000. These brands include Mulberry and Tory Burch.

As we move into 2024, handbag trends are still logo-less, with clean lines, high quality materials, and impeccable craftsmanship. Handbags should be timeless, and blend into your wardrobe for years to come; not just one season. We will continue to look for handbags in neutral hues which can withstand the test of time, and brands which have a good quality reputation in 2024.

The handbag styles which will be important in 2024 include shoulder bags, east/west totes, north/south totes, satchels, lady bags, doctor bags, and hobo bags. Look for soft leather, floppy silhouettes, and structure. There is a lot of leeway when it comes to handbag styles! Go for what fits your lifestyle and taste. Love that!

Here are a few of my favorite handbags for winter 2024 priced under $1000:

What are your favorite handbag styles for the winter 2024 season and as we move into the new year?

Shoe capsule wardrobe winter 2024

Well, since it seems to be raining less this year, and temperatures seem slightly warmer than last year, I am keeping my Mary Janes in rotation for the winter season, and my rose sneakers too!

Of course, faux fur boots are always appropriate during the winter months, and these black boots are constantly being worn. I love them!

As you can tell, my winter shoe capsule wardrobe is small, and mainly meant for daily wear. These Mary Janes are comfortable and can easily be worn with pants, skirts, and dresses which makes them versatile. I can store my high heels for warmer months.

My black boots work perfectly with jeans, trousers, and longer skirts or dresses. They are comfy way to elevate an outfit. Love that!
