Bucket bags are so hot right now! If you don’t have a slouchy bucket bag yet, what are you waiting for? The two featured above are priced under $200 and available in other colors; I own both and highly recommend them! Love!

Also, holiday nails are hot right now too! Nail polish is the easiest way to enjoy the holiday spirit everyday during the season. Love that!

Gift shopping is starting to wind down and shopping for ourselves is winding up! Let’s continue to invest in the anonymous handbag, cozy clothing, Mocha Mousse everything, and boots made for walking!

What are you loving right now?

Thanks for stopping by, and enjuoy the holiday season!

What’s in my travel beauty bag winter 2025

Inside my travel beauty bag winter 2025: (shown) beauty bag / travel size body cream / shampoo and conditioner, travel size / powder /

‘Tis the season of travel! As you know, I prefer to carry-on my luggage when I travel; if possible. This means I always ensure my beauty products are TSA compliant. Beauty products for carry-on luggage need to be 3.4oz or less and fit into a one-quart bag. I’m not sure if my beauty bag is exactly one quart, but TSA seems fine with it, so I’m good!

Since it is difficult to travel with perfume, I prefer a scented body cream which is easy to travel with and provides a nice fragrance. This scented body cream is perfect for travel and offers a powdery gourmand scent which I love wearing. I have to credit my daughter for showing me this body cream! It’s fabulous!

I also travel with minimal makeup and prefer powder foundation over liquid while I am on vacation. It’s one less liquid to deal with!

So, without further ado, here is what’ inside my travel beauty bag for winter 2025 and the holiday 2024 season:

Thanks for stopping by, and safe travels!

My winter capsule wardrobe draws from my holiday capsule as I still need to add some Mocha Mousse to my closet! This soft pink hue will blend well with any shade of medium to light brown I incorporate into my wardrobe during the new year. Love that!

Of course, black is always my go-to neutral, but in 2025, Mocha Mousse, and similar shades, will make a great alternative to black; especially as we move into the warmer months, and soften up our looks.

These pewter boots are super comfy and lighten up my look when I am wearing black. I am also addicted to these soft bucket bags we are seeing everywhere. Love!

Here are my current winter essentials as we move from the holiday season into the winter season:

Here are some Mocha Mousse inspired pieces I already own, or are on my wish list for the new year:

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for winter trend reports coming soon!
