The 2026 Wish List
26 items at the top of my 2026 wish list - a mix of forever pieces, beauty staples and little luxuries I’m dreaming of adding to my rotation this year.
There’s something about the start of a new year that makes me want to take stock—not just of what I own, but of what I’m genuinely excited to add into my life. As per usual, this wish list is equal parts timeless wardrobe staples, beauty products I’m eager to try and a few thoughtful upgrades to my everyday routine.
Some of these are pieces I’ve been eyeing for months. Others are newer discoveries that feel perfectly aligned with how I want to move through 2026: more intentional, more edited and as always, continuing to be focused on quality over quantity.
Here’s what’s currently living on my wish list.
The Noteworthy Edit 2026 Wish List
Madame Grey Hair Perfume
I love a subtle, skin-adjacent fragrance for daytime and this one feels oh-so-chic in that quiet, grown-up way. I tested it when I popped into Violet Grey’s newer Upper East Side boutique (Madame Grey is the new line from their founder) and it’s so soft and moody - perfect for those days when you want to smell good but not announce yourself from across the room.
Nour Hammour Dalma Leather Jacket
At the top of my list of investment purchases this year is a cool, oversized leather jacket that feels very now. You know I’m loyal to a great leather jacket and this one has been calling my name. I want to go see it at their Paris showroom when I’m there this Spring (and would plan to buy it there where I’ll save $$ in doing so.)
(This less expensive style is also in the consideration set atm!)
A New Kindle
Reading has become such a grounding ritual for me and I love the idea of upgrading my Kindle this year as mine is nearly six years old now. They’ve made adjustments and the models now are lighter, faster and have better battery life.
Leather Gloves
A classic winter accessory that instantly makes any cold-weather look feel more polished. I’m on the hunt for a beautifully made pair that will last for years. (Have any recommendations for me?!)
Tom Ford Liquid Liner
My friend Helena whose taste I trust has raved about this liner’s precision and staying power so I’m keen to try it this year and see if I prefer it over my current favorite of the past few years - this one.
