Happy Friday, friends! It’s week 4 of my new series, the Fancy Friday Edit! I hope you’re all loving my curated picks so far! They are meant to inspire and excite you for the season ahead and of course give you something fun to think about. You just might even add one to your very own routine or wish list. Thanks for being here and reading my latest curated edit. Here are my favorite finds of this week. So grab a cup of tea and let’s dive into this week’s fantastic list!
1. Bandolier Crossbody Phone Case
SHOP: Magnet Wallet Crossbody Phone Case and Expanded Pouch Set
I’m absolutely loving this crossbody phone case by Bandolier. If you have a phone and use it everywhere & everyday like I do, this is officially a must-have, can’t-live-without accessory. (I’m declaring it now:) Honestly don’t know how I existed without one this whole time. It’s like a piece of jewelry, a wallet, and a phone holder all at once. Everything you need, hands-free, and it looks so chic while wearing it too. Oh and did I mention it’s also made of leather and comes in a variety of colors and different versions? I mean, how cool is this crossbody phone case!?
2. Lush & Dew Herb Garden
Shop: Lush& Dew Garden Starter Pair – 38 Curated Varieties of Vegetable & Herb Seeds
These days, there’s nothing fancier or smarter than growing your very own garden. I’m so happy to announce that my little herb garden is ready for fall. Having fresh basil, parsley, and cilantro within arm’s reach whenever a recipe calls for it makes cooking a total breeze. It’s convenient, and it’s incredibly rewarding too.
This Lush & Dew kit makes gardening easy and fun, even indoors. I keep a few small pots right in my kitchen, where they’re as pretty to look at as they are useful. No more rushing to the store for a single bunch of herbs.
3. Blow Tissues: Box, Tissues, Routine. Reimagined.
The unexpected gift I received this week, and one I never knew I needed: Blow Tissues! The container is ultra sleek, and the tissues themselves are so luxurious! Made of 5-ply bamboo, PFAS-free, and are surprisingly thicker, with a smoother feel. They’re also great for makeup removal, which is a win-win.
With cold and flu season rolling in (and none of us are looking forward to that), a box on your nightstand is a must, just in case. And what’s fancier than a stunning tissue box cover on your vanity? This red one is giving major holiday vibes and looks fabulous on my writing desk. I’m already ordering another for my bathroom vanity because it’s officially a necessity in my house.
Who knew tissues could be this important? But aren’t they, really?
4. Dior Couture Palette Holiday Gift 2026 Edition
Shop: Dior Holiday 2026 Palette
Dior is celebrating the season with a limited-edition all-in-one palette, and it’s pure perfection. The iridescent white case sparkles as if dusted with sugar, topped with the golden Dior medallion for a truly couture touch. Inside, you’ll find two blushes in radiant pink and warm nude, two glitter highlighters, five eyeshadows in gold, brown, pink, and iridescent white, and four Rouge Dior lipsticks, from a deep red to a nude peach. Every powder is stamped with the signature cannage motif, and two golden double-sided brushes are included. It’s a full holiday look in one gorgeous compact, and it belongs on every wish list.
5. Thrifted Find of the Week: An Original Oil Painting of The Mediterranean Coast with A Golden Frame
Every week I share my most fancy thrifted find, and here it is! An original oil painting of the Mediterranean coast, signed by the artist and set in an ornate golden frame. It’s small and totally perfect for a bedroom wall, and I can just imagine it styled with a few other curated pieces, like something straight out of a chic home decorating magazine. Oh, how I love a beautiful find. I’m still in ahhhh and super excited to share with you all. You really never know what you might find treasure hunting in Las Vegas! It’s such fun sharing my little hobby with you all!
