Twenty-twenty-six is almost a week away, and I've found myself doing the familiar end-of-year reflection: thinking about what worked, what definitely didn't, and what I want to carry into the new year. This past year brought a noticeable shift in my personal style and how I take care of myself, especially as I settled into post-grad life. I'm dressing with more intention (read: no more ridiculous crop tops), paying more attention to my skincare and wellness routines, and feeling genuinely excited about stepping into a more considered version of adulthood.
As I head into 2026, I'm focused on romanticizing my routines a little more and being even more thoughtful about the fashion, beauty, and wellness choices that shape my everyday life. On the fashion front, I'll curate outfits more strategically, build a jewelry stack I can wear daily, mix metals with confidence, and experiment with fun accessories that bring excitement to the simplest looks. When it comes to beauty and wellness, I'm prioritizing consistency by upping my skincare routine, investing in tools and habits that support it, and leaning into cute workout sets that motivate me to stay active. Ahead, you'll find the fashion, beauty, and wellness upgrades I'm excited to bring into the new year to help make 2026 my most confident year yet.
