A hand-picked list of my January 2026 faves for your wardrobe, home, and wellness.
My January Favorites
January always feels like a soft reset to me. As much as I love the holiday season, usually by December 30th I’m ready to put away the decorations, declutter, and start the new year. This month, I’m leaning into elevated basics, fresh textures at home, and wellness essentials that are giving me a leg up in reaching my health goals in 2026.
I love to share my best finds so you too can benefit from them, so I’ve put together a list of my 10 faves for January: things I’m currently obsessed with, are on the way in the mail, or are sitting in my wishlist for the right moment. Think everyday denim, sleek activewear, my go-to sleek accessories, and little home upgrades that make your space feel (and smell) amazing.
1. The butteriest tote bag 🧈

The minute I saw this bag drop on the Quince site, I ordered it. It’s a very close lookalike to The Row’s popular Medium N/S Park Tote, but for a fraction of the price (literally 1/10th). And my friends, it is SO good. The soft, buttery pebbled leather, the suede interior, the matching pouch, the size, the way it sits perfectly on my shoulder, and the gorgeous rich taupe color – it’s 10/10. I’m very tempted to grab it in the dark brown or black, it’s that good. If you love an effortless-cool vibe but don’t want to spend thousands, this is the tote you need for 2026.
2. New denim, vintage look
I’m a jeans-and–T-shirt girl through and through, so I’m always on the lookout for cool, comfortable denim. This pair of Agolde Lana jeans in a new wash called “Brink” is truly *chef’s kiss*. The denim has a perfectly lived-in look, similar to vintage Levi’s, which are notoriously hard to find in the right fit (and at a reasonable price). And while these are definitely more of a splurge (I found them for the best price here at Anthropologie), they’re 100% cotton and made to last for years. I know they’ll only get better with wear.
3. The best bed refresh
Something about the New Year always makes me want to declutter and refresh my decor. One of the most affordable and practical ways to do that is with new bedding. This linen duvet cover set from Quince is my new favorite, along with the Linen Chambray Sheet Set. The linen look is very Nancy Meyers, and the sheets get softer with every wash. I usually stick with plain white or chambray, but I’ve also got my eye on the striped set and the gingham set for spring.
Pair the new bedding with this incredible-smelling grapefruit candle and your bedroom will feel like a retreat.
4. Workout motivator set 💪🏼
Last year I put a lot more time and effort into my health and wellness, including sticking to a regular workout routine (I use the EvolveYou app and absolutely love it). And honestly, nothing is more motivating than a cute workout set. This bra-and-legging set from Quince is my favorite, and I now have it in four colors. Storm Blue is the top contender. It’s buttery soft, has just the right amount of compression, and gives a major confidence boost.
5. Toning gummies
To piggy-back on my last fave, the Arrae Tone gummies have been a game-changer when it comes my fitness results. These creatine gummies boost muscle strength, improve performance, help with recovery, and support bone health. I genuinely feel a bigger “pump” after workouts when I take them. And, an unexpected benefit, I’m also way less bloated and more “trim” when I take them. My guess is that it is because they also contain Slimbiotics®, helpful bacteria that supports body composition, fat metabolism and digestion.
6. Magnesium for sleep 💤
As Arrae continues to expand their line of wellness products, I continue to give them a try! Another supplement I’ve been very much enjoying are the Magnesium capsules. I take two at night before bed and I genuinely feel like I get a deeper, more restful sleep. I also love that magnesium in general is great for muscle function, lowering blood pressure, and better brain health. Along with the magnesium and creatine gummies, I’ve also added Arrea’s Triobiotic to my daily routine.
7. Pretty pop of silver
When it comes to jewelry (and fashion in general), I’m definitely a minimalist. When I’m going out, the Jenny Bird Doune earrings are my go-to. I love the shape, the size, and the chic pop of silver. They make a statement while still feeling sleek and classic. I’ve owned them for a couple of years now and I know I’ll keep wearing them regularly through 2026 and beyond. These two-tone earrings are also high on my wishlist.
8. A little more silver
And, because I’m just very into silver these days, I’ve been adding pops of silver to my home too. I just recently purchased this cute silver bud vase, and have this silver dessert cup in my cart too.
9. Moody marble tray
I love a good marble tray. I have this Amazon one in my kitchen for my dishsoap and scrubber brush, another on my dresser for cologne and earrings, and recently added this moody marble tray from Zara to my bathroom for my soap dispensers. It instantly elevates the space, and I love the dark khaki color. And for some reason, these pretty trays motivate me to keep my surfaces tidier!
10. The best neutral throw pillow
Last, but not least on my list of January faves is this high-quality throw pillow from Tonic living. I have this exact pillow in the large lumbar size on my bed (seen in the earlier photo under bed refresh), and it’s so pretty. It gives California lake house vibes and is the perfect neutral. The quality is top-notch and I highly recommend getting the down insert to go with it. I plan to adding two more of the 22×22 size to our sectional sofa!
I hope you loved my list of January faves and found a few you’ll love just as much too!
