December 2026

Jewel Box

Party season wants depth and shine. Think velvet, chrome and the kind of red that reads expensive.

After the glitter, January goes soft: warm neutrals, sheer milk and one moody accent.

February 2027

Valentine's without the costume: blush, berry and tiny hearts on a milky base.

Spring arrives quietly this year: washed-out pastels and sheer colour you can wear to work.
