Winter 2026 skin care routine

Winter skin care from top left: day cream / eye cream / night cream / hand cream / body cream / neck cream / face wash /

This winer season hasn’t been as dry as in the past. So, I am keeping the same skin care routine from the fall season, with the exception of moving to a fragrance-free body cream.

As you know, I have been using Revive skin care for well over twenty years. I love their products and can’t praise them enough. If you haven’t tried their skin care, what are you waiting for? I also love their face wash, which is gentle and cleansing. My teens use it too!

Since I love switching up my fragrance each day, this fragrance-free body cream is perfect. It does not compete with my perfume and keeps my skin moisturized. Love it!

BAF Weekly IT List

Did you ever think the Balenciaga City bag would make a comeback? I sure didn’t! I am starting to see them on street; old and new. There is trend to find one on the secondary market as well as buy new. It seems this IT bag from yesteryear is hotter than hot this year! So, if you have one, pull it out from the back of your closet. If not, invest in one now! I love mine; you can see my recent review here.

In addition to old IT bags making a comeback, the anonymous handbag is still going strong and continues to be the ultimate IT bag of 2026. So, keep investing in beautiful bags high in quality and not overpriced. Also, continue to stay away from logos.

Spring nail polish, neutral yet comfy sneakers, pearl jewelry, and floral fragrances are also hot right now. Classic style is hot! Love that!

Classic navy shirt dress

wearing: gold earrings (old, also love this pair) / turquoise necklace / shirt dress in navy / gold bracelet (old, similar here) / black handbag / winter nail polish / patent block heels (old, also love this pair) /

While the rest of the country was buried in snow, we had some spring weather peek through last weekend. Sorry east coast!

Since the weather was mild, and we were attending an event, I decided to dress for spring, and it was perfect! The temps were in the mid-sixties, and we enjoyed a buffet lunch outside. I didn’t need a wrap, sweater or jacket. Bring on the spring weather!

This shirt dress is not only comfortable, it is the perfect go-to for daytime events and the office. I will definitely be wearing it a lot during the spring and summer seasons. Love!

Since the shirt dress is timeless, this navy version can live on in my wardrobe for many years to come. Love that! If you don’t already own a shirt dress, I highly recommend investing in one. You won’t regret it!
