Trend: Colored Gemstone Jewelry

Move over, quiet luxury. While we’ll always have a soft spot for a classic gold hoop or dainty diamond studs, 2026 is officially the year of dopamine dressing from the neck down. If you’ve noticed your Instagram feed shifting from minimalist neutrals to vibrant pops of emerald, sapphire, and alexandrite, you aren’t imagining it. The colored gemstone jewelry trend has arrived, and it’s arguably the most expressive jewelry movement we’ve seen in a decade.

Jewelry is no longer just an “accessory” to an outfit — it’s the main character.

Spring Trend: Floral Jeans

If you hear the phrase “florals for spring” and immediately hear a certain iconic movie editor’s voice in your head, you aren’t alone. But for spring 2026, floral denim is having a serious, grown-up moment. This season, the trend has moved away from the pastels of the past and into more artistic interpretations.

Whether you’re a lifelong denim devotee or someone who usually sticks to a classic blue wash, these “personality pieces” are the perfect way to make getting dressed feel fun again.

The “It” Gemstones of 2026

If you’re looking to invest in this trend, these are some of the hot gemstones this year:

Alexandrite: This is known as the “shape-shifter.” It looks green in sunlight and purple under a lamp. It’s the ultimate conversation starter.
Peach Sapphire: Moving away from traditional colors, this moody, earth-toned sapphires is the new favorite for alternative engagement rings and daily wear.
Green Everything: Emeralds are the gold standard, but Peridot and Chrome Diopside are the edgy, more affordable cousins making a huge splash.
Pink Tourmaline: This stone is for those who love a Barbiecore legacy but want it to feel sophisticated and fine-jewelry adjacent.

Amazon is my go-to for approachable, traditional holiday decor at a decent price point.

Crate & Barrel Easter Decor
Crate & Barrel takes a “quiet luxury” approach to spring, focusing on organic shapes and a calming, nature-inspired palette. Instead of bright neons, you’ll find soft eucalyptus greens, sky blues, and warm sand tones. The standout trend is the use of natural materials, such as the woven seagrass bunny and stone-textured vases. This aesthetic is perfect for the minimalist who wants to celebrate the season through texture rather than clutter.

Pottery Barn Easter Decor
This Pottery Barn Easter aesthetic feels like an enchanted garden party. It’s deeply rooted in classic Americana and “cottagecore” vibes, featuring intricate botanical illustrations and verdant textures.

With embroidered linens and laser-cut ceramic eggs, the look is polished and timeless.

Williams Sonoma is the destination for sophisticated, high-end entertaining.

Every family has their own holiday traditions (and it many instances, this translates to holiday foods). While some of these holiday treats are cultural, others are somewhat random or have a unique story behind them. I wanted to share holiday treats from my childhood (and adulthood) and a little bit of story behind them.
