BAF Weekly List

summer 2026 trending beauty clothing handbags shoes

BAF Weekly List from top left: neutral knit top / lipstick / Hermes summer nail polish / Chanel summer nail polish / Dior summer nail polish / print dress / perfume sampler / caramel top handle bag / suede pumps / canvas tote / black boots / belted tote /

The BAF Weekly List is here! In case you didn’t notice, I dropped the “IT” since the IT era is currently over, and we are moving into an era of investment dressing, quality over brand names, and personal style. We are steering clear of matching everyone in the room, and we are making our understated, personal style statement. Love this!

I have always been into investment dressing, but I did get caught up in the IT era. I was mixing IT items with my timeless style which made my personal style a little hard to keep up with. Thankfully, the pendulum has swung back, and I am grounding myself to stick to my true style mantra; invest in something you can wear forever, or until it wears out and breaks. haha

What are your thoughts on the end of the IT era? You can read my post about it here.

As we move through the summer season, and towards fall, continue to invest in logo-free handbags, quality and style over brand name, and pieces you truly love. Play with prints, pops of colors, and styles you love. I am currently in my boot era. When the Nordstrom sale hits later this month, I will be all over the boot section! haha That being said, stay tuned for my report of what looks good at the sale.

Casual summer dinner out

 in General Fashion  tagged casual style / outfits / summer 2026 by

wearing: gold hoops / oversize tee / summer nail polish / blue handbag (similar here) / jeans / black boots /

If you haven’t noticed, I really love this oversized tee! I have been wearing it everywhere! I decided to wear my blue mini tote with it since the bag picks up the blue in the pattern on the tee. It’s always fun to pull out an older handbag and wear it again. I have been doing that a lot lately.

I wore this casual outfit to Benihana in Cupertino for a fun family outing. It’s always entertaining to watch the chefs cook at your table; especially when they toss food in the air and make things light on fire!

I also enjoyed a mango-pineapple milkshake. It was the perfect summer drink with my feast. haha If you haven’t been to Benihana yet, I recommend going for a fun night out. It gets busy, so be sure to make reservations.

Also, why not bring an older handbag out from the back of your closet and wear it again? This is the era of the vintage handbag. Wear your bags!
