BAF Weekly IT List

Spring is in full swing! While neutral hues and classic items are hotter than hot, pops of color are quickly gaining momentum.

When it comes to spring nail polish, it’s selling like hot cakes! Hermes, Chanel, and Dior are already sold out, so I linked alternatives above which are right on trend and perfect for spring. Don’t worry, Dior’s summer nail polish collection is coming in April, and I will keep you posted when it arrives! There are two colors and they are pretty! Love!

As we move into the spring season, pearl jewelry, the anonymous handbag, woven leather, and nostalgia for the 1990s and early 2000s continue to influence social media and how we dress. So, don’t forget to pull out those old IT bags and wear them! The sidewalk is your runway, and the early 2000s paparazzi is following you. Show off your Balenciaga Le City bag, Fendy Spy, Chloe Marcie, Chloe Paraty, Fendi Baguette, and more!

Also, what are we thinking about Rockstuds returning? It will be interesting to see if everyone pulls them back out when “The Devil Wears Prada 2” premieres in May. Dust yours off, you might want to rock them soon!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more spring coverage!

Rust nail polish for spring 2026

pictured: Hermes Brun Helios (currently sold out, will update if returns to stock)

Well, this was supposed to be a review of Hermes Brun Helios nail polish which is from the Hermes spring/summer 2026 beauty collection, but, it has already sold out! I don’t know what is going on this season, but everything seems to be selling out so quickly from so many brands and designers!

I am watching the Hermes website, Nordstrom, Neimans, Bloomingdales, and Macy’s to see if the color comes back in stock. I will quickly update you if/when it does! In the meantime, if this beautiful, sparkling rust colored nail polish cannot wait to get on your nails, I found two similar versions, plus one in the ballpark. I am also including my favorite nail polish colors from Hermes in the shopping widget below which are perfect for the spring season.

Rust colored nail polishes for spring:

Well, that’s it! I love this color and it has the perfect vibes for warm summer days, late summer and early fall style. I will keep you posted if/when it restocks!

Thanks for stopping by!

Spy Museum

Bond, James Bond. Love it! I mean, who doesn’t love a James Bond movie or moment? I know I do! When we visited the Spy Museum in Washington DC, this fabulous car from James Bond was right there in the lobby! Amazing!

Of course, the Spy Museum is more about real spies than James Bond, but it was fun seeing a glimpse of references to our favorite fictitious spy.

The Spy Museum is a must-see when visiting Washington DC. There are exhibits dating back hundreds of years, and it is amazing to see how spying has been done throughout history. In fact, it helped us build America. Love!

The museum consists of multiple floors jam-packed with spy gadgets and history lessons. It is really fun to see this part of world history. In addition to the regular exhibits, there is also one floor with a special exhibit. I recommend adding it on when visiting the Spy Museum.

We spent around three hours at the Spy Museum, so plan to wear comfortable shoes and clothing so you can fully enjoy the experience. You can even go on a spy mission while visiting! Fun!
