Friday Favorites 2026, Vol. 4

Happy Friday (on a Saturday!). Sharing one day late to be respectful of the busy news day that was yesterday (who am I kidding…busy news cycle all this month!).

I had fun pulling together this roundup with a little nod to Valentine’s Day. I hope you like it!

Gray sweater with bow tie: I broke my no-shop January rule a little early and snagged this sweater. I love it! You can wear with the bow or without and it’s so warm. A classic! I take a medium. It runs a little big.

Heart sweater: This is such a cute piece and can be worn long after Valentine’s Day is over.

My new favorite jeans: I can’t stop talking about these. They are so high-waisted that I can comfortably tuck in my shirt! And so stretchy, you can wear all day (I would size down from your regular size to accommodate the stretch). These jeans are meant to graze your shoes, so if you’re 5’4″ or under, I’d consider getting a petite length.

Cashmere socks: Quince just does no wrong. Love these!

Woven pouch: Naghedi has done it again. A classic piece with a cute little heart detail. Darling!

Heart sneakers: This might go down as my favorite purchase for 2026. I know it’s early in the year to make such a bold statement, but they are that cute. Size down a half size from your typical size.

Dibs blush + bronzer in one: This is one of my favorite products–a blush and contour stick all in one. I wear this color–Starlit–all year round. It’s the perfect pop of color when you need it!

Bracelet stack: Such a fun little sparkle for Valentine’s Day with out being too Valentine-sy.

Heart necklace: One of my most loved necklaces, especially this time of year.

Heavy duty moisturizer: Instagram targeted me big time to buy this special moisturizer from Stripes–a company founded by actress Naomi Watts–for women in my age group. Ugh. I felt so exposed. But the ads worked and I bought it. The good news…I really like it! It’s a very heavy cream but it smells really good.

Pink + green trimmed cardigan: I love this closet staple with Boden’s typical flair. Pink + green forever!
