The new year always feels like a fresh page — a moment to pause, reflect, and choose the things we want to carry forward. For me, it’s not just about resolutions, but about curating pieces, rituals, and little joys that make everyday life feel intentional and beautiful.From cozy fashion staples and chic new finds, to beauty must-haves and small lifestyle indulgences, these are some of the favourites I’m bringing with me into 2026 — including a little recipe to make the season feel extra sweet.

Fashion Favourites

These are the pieces I’m wearing now and the ones I’ve been eyeing for the year, always keeping in mind the seasons ahead. 

Worn on Repeat

Varley Hendrik Jacquard Teddy There’s nothing like a cozy, warm sweater to get me through the first chilly months of the year. I’ve been wearing this teddy jacket constantly at home — it’s soft, light, and makes even a casual moment feel special.

Uniqlo Heattech Leggings For winter layering, these leggings are my go-to. They’re thin but warm, and perfect under skirts, dresses, or even long sweaters like my teddy jacket.

Barbour Halton Chelsea Wellington Boots I just added these to my winter wardrobe and they’ve been on major rotation for walks. Water‑ready, comfortable, and a little rugged‑chic — they’re exactly what I want on crisp winter mornings.

Molli Vigne Knit Pants After eyeing these pants for two years, I finally ordered them on sale! — I adore Molli for their chic, couture-inspired knits. These pants feel like the perfect blend of comfort and elegance, and I can’t wait to style them over multiple seasons for cozy yet elevated looks.

Taylor Wide Leg Denim Is my most worn pair of denim. I own them in 3 shades and love the fit. I love that they offer a cropped option which are great because I don’t need to get them hemmed. They offer them also in full length here.

Pieces I’ve Been Eyeing for 2026

Nour Hammour Sima Toffee Shearling Coat This luxurious shearling coat has been a dream item on my wishlist — with its Toscana shearling collar and cuffs, sweeping silhouette, and cinematic elegance, it feels like a piece you carry through the seasons. I love imagining layering it over cozy knits or evening looks — a true heirloom-worthy item to bring into 2026.

Saint Laurent Voltaire Leather & Wicker Tote I love this bag for its timeless shape and the way the leather and wicker blend together — it feels like summer and spring in a classic silhouette.

Celine Small Camille Bag This white or even cream Celine Camille bag has been on my wishlist for its sleek, elegant silhouette — perfect for clean, elevated looks.

Valentino Garavani VLogo Mini Velvet Bag A gorgeous jewel‑toned bag always feels like a moment — the green velvet version of this mini crossbody adds such a beautiful pop of colour and refinement.

Margaux The Parra Ivoire Nappa Flats The pointed toe and high vamp feel so modern, but the silhouette is timeless. They’re the kind of piece that makes everyday outfits feel a little elevated, effortlessly chic, and completely wearable.

Eternity Band Stunning ovals set with shared prongs to emphasize the elongation of the shape. A classic timeless band I wouldn’t be mad about. 

Cashmere Shawl After borrowing my friends on vacation last year I was obsessed. I have so many silk scarves but there is something about Hermès’ cashmere silk shawls. They are playful, warm and can be styled a multitude of ways. 

Beauty & Skincare Favourites

From new discoveries to trusted winter essentials, these are the products that keep my routine simple, joyful, and nourishing through the season.

New Beauty Finds

Victoria Beckham Beauty The Cell Rejuvenating Illuminator (Rose) I’ve been trying this new rose-tinted illuminator and love the natural glow it gives my skin. It’s light enough for every day but special enough for a full makeup look.

Urban Decay Glossy Liquid Lip A new lip colour that feels effortless yet polished. Perfect for the winter months when I want a subtle pop without fuss.

Winter staples I’m Wearing All Season

Hydration is everything in the cold months. I rely on these serums and creams to keep my skin nourished and soft.

Haru Haru Moisturizing Cream 

HA Serum

Colostrum

Other Essentials

Nécessaire Deodorant Gel I have tried so many aluminum free deodorants, what makes this one different is it is baking soda free which means no irritation or build up. Feels clean, light, and smells great.

Wellbel The Detox + Restore Duo from Well+Bel is my new go-to for a reset wash day. The shampoo clears buildup while the conditioner nourishes without weighing hair down

Victoria Beckham Beauty Reflect Highlighter Stick A subtle glow that feels like sunlight on the skin, even in winter.

Masks Essential for cozy nights in or quick skincare boosts while traveling.

Red Light Mask I have been using this for a year, and consistency really is key. Great for rejuvenation and anti aging.

Steamer I have loved this piece for quite some time and especially in the winter it is handy, also great for stubborn congestion.

Travel-friendly makeup bag This cosmetic bag opens flat, so you never have to dig — perfect for trips or just keeping your essentials organized at home.

Home & Lifestyle Favourites

Small touches at home — linens, books, candles, and little rituals — are what make daily life feel intentional and full of quiet joy.

This winter, I’ve been surrounding myself with things that bring comfort and inspiration:

Books I recently picked up Mostly French: Recipes from a Kitchen in Provence and The Flowers of Provence. Both transport me to sun-drenched villages, fragrant markets, and slow afternoons in the kitchen — the perfect escape when it’s cold outside. I am always dreaming of life in Provence. 

Journaling My Dior journal is back on my desk, encouraging little notes, reflections, and plans for the year ahead — a simple ritual that feels luxurious yet grounding.

Candles Feu de Bois by Diptyque has been my winter go-to. There’s something endlessly comforting about its smoky, warm scent — it makes the shortest days feel cozy.

Daily Rituals & Wellness I’m back on Seed’s DS-01, paired with Tejari’s Cacao & Greens protein powder I’ve been enjoying for the past four months. I also make sure to include daily movement, whether that’s cycling, walking, or following a Melissa Wood Health session — these little habits keep me grounded and energized for the season ahead. I recently incorporated these tools to my work outs to intensify slightly: Dumbbells & Bands.

Home Style From my own collections, I’ve been loving the Highland Tartan linens and Winter Wonderland Toile — both are perfect for winter days, beyond just the holiday season, bringing a sense of warmth and slow-living charm to every meal or moment at home.

Recipes to Start the Year

A little indulgence I’m carrying into the new year — recipes that make the morning, afternoon, or dessert feel slow and special. 

Matilda Chocolate Cake
Rich, silky, and completely irresistible, this chocolate cake has been my go-to for cozy weekends or special evenings at home. Layers of soft chocolate cake are filled with silky chocolate crémeux and finished with a glossy ganache — the ultimate chocolate lover’s dream.

Rosa Radicchio, Dates & Hazelnuts Salad
On the lighter side, I’ve been eating this salad on repeat. Bitter-sweet radicchio, toasted hazelnuts, dates, and smoked gorgonzola come together with a delicate lemon & prosecco vinaigrette — perfect for winter lunches or a simple side to dinner.

Here’s to carrying joy, intention, and beauty into 2026. May your year be filled with cozy rituals, little indulgences, and moments that make everyday life feel luxurious. Explore, try a ritual, or simply enjoy something you love — it’s the little things that make the year feel full.
