BAF Weekly IT List from top left: sequin sweater / Hermes nail polish / Chanel nail polish / pink scarf / pink earrings / suede and leather bucket bag / pewter boots (on sale!) / brown boxy bag / black bucket bag /

The gifts are wrapped and neatly placed under the tree, now is the time to shop for me! Meaning you!

The winter season is here, and the anonymous handbag is stronger than ever. In addition, shades of brown are reigning supreme. Love!

As we move into the new year, and shop the sales, let’s stay focused on what to invest in for 2025. Look for high quality, unrecognizable handbags. Neutral hues; particularly shades of brown. Cozy sweaters, and boots we can walk for miles in. Love that!

Have a fabulous holiday season and stay tuned for more winter coverage as well as end of year wrap ups!

I’m always gravitating towards all-black outfits, so when I spotted these sparkling corduroy pants, I knew I needed them in my life! What better way to add a little somethin’ somethin’ to an all-black look? Love!

I really wish my camera did these pants justice. They really do sparkle! The best part is that unlike sequins, they don’t catch on anything or shed. These pants stay looking neat and sparkly over and over again. They have become my go-to pants for the holiday party season! I plan to wear them on Christmas too.

Of course, they can be paired with other colors besides black, that just happens to be how I have been wearing them. These sparkling corduroy pants also look fabulous with a blazer, sequin top, silk blouse; the possibilities are endless. They are a neutral basic, which isn’t so basic! Love that!

Seriously, if you are under the light or in the sun, they sparkle like crazy! Mental note: get a better camera.

So, if you are looking for festive pants you can wear throughout the holiday season and the spring season-for additional sparkling outfits, these are your pants!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Holidays!

Mocha Mousse inspired nail polish colors

Mocha Mousse inspired nail polish color from top: Hermes nail polish / Chanel brown nail polish / Chanel medium brown nail polish /

Now that Mocha Mousse has been announced as the color of the year by Pantone, let’s look in our nail polish collections and see what we can find in the ballpark!

We have three nail polish colors from 2024 which are in the brown family and are still in stock in stores; just in case you didn’t already indulge. The nail polish color featured above are Hermes Vert Bronze, Chanel Faun, and Chanel Spirituelle. Since we don’t have to have to the exact Mocha Mousse shade this upcoming 2025 year, any hue in the brown family will do. Love that!

If you already have a favorite shade of brown, you’re good to go for the new year! If not, I recommend one of these three colors. They are neutral, play well with any outfit you put together, and will carry you through the new year. I will definitely be rotating through these three hues! I am currently rocking the Hermes color. Love it!

So, without further ado, here are a few brown shades of nail polish from around the web you will love for 2025.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more winter coverage and new year’s news!

XOXO
