With the month of March winding down, and my beginning to look forward to the schedule I’ve been putting together for April (so many outdoor adventures! So much pastel!) I wanted to take the opportunity this lovely Friday morning to share some of the items/products/gifts and finds I’ve been loving especially extra these past few weeks with another roundup of my monthly “Favorite Things!”
While I’m planning on sharing my full recap of March 2026 up on ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ next Monday morning bright and early – including some photos and adventures I haven’t had the chance to write about just yet! – I really wanted to focus on the favorites, first.
As is tradition, I’ll share the things I could snap photos of and links to where you can find the items for yourself (if anyone is interested!) before I get into some of the miscellaneous odds and ends I’ve also been enjoying.
So without further delay – let’s’ get right into it!
If you’ve been following ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ for any length of time, you have probably picked up on my love of cute, food-shaped items, accessories and décor. From slippers shaped like pumpkin spice lattes to picture frames shaped like ice cream cones. I’m a sucker for anything that is supposed to look edible but isn’t actually edible.
Case in point – these toast seat cushions I picked up for some of the chairs around my apartment. Not only are these cushions super cute, but they’re also very plush and comfortable! I’ve been using this one on my office chair when I work from home and it’s made such a difference in my back and legs whenever I stand up to stretch or take breaks!
Although this woven, recycled plastic purse was given to me shortly after the New Year and during a belated-holiday gift exchange with my cousin Paige, I knew this was going to be my spring handbag as soon as the weather started warming up once and for all this year.
The bright colors sprinkled throughout this Squeeze De Citron bag make me think of Easter – but also the tropics – which means this one is likely going to be my go-to purse well into the Summer season. The brand’s products are designed with repurposed materials by artisans based in Guatemala and can be completely customizable. My cousin knows me well, of course – and made sure I had the brightest, pinkest pom pom charm on mine before gifting it to me!
This bag holds so much stuff, has a sturdy gold chain that can be removed to transform it from a cross-body into a clutch, and looks so cute with both my work ensembles and more casual wear. It’s adorable!
This soft pink, semi-shimmery and strawberries & cream-scented lip gloss was actually a purchase I’d made during my belated-birthday Girls Weekend in Salem, Massachusetts near the end of January. I had spotted the unique and gorgeous packaging while shopping at The Cauldron Black and had to have it.
The store had so many lovely shades available, each with spooky names and lovely fragrances/flavors, but this one – called ‘Annabel Lee’ was one of my favorites. It gives me a subtle pink pout, is very hydrating, adds just a little shimmer – and lasts for a long time! I’ve been saving it for the Spring since I knew I’d instinctively begin the hunt for the perfect pink gloss as soon as the temperatures went above 60°F for more than a couple of days at a time – and here we are!
And seriously – the packaging? Exquisite.
And finally, I can never have too many sunglasses in my collection. For the Spring, I wanted to have a little more color without going full-blown pink or purple with the frame shade since I needed them to match most of the things in my current Winter-to-Spring wardrobe (think: neutrals.)
So when I spotted these green, squiggly-framed shades via COTIA – I added them to my cart and have been wearing them almost daily ever since. They’re cute, they’re comfortable, they block UVA and UVB rays – and they’re under $20. It’s a steal.

And while that’s pretty much everything for my photogenic favorites – I’ve got one or two more things that made the cut this month!
– MOVIES/MUSIC/TELEVISION –
‘Love Hurts’ – Troy and I recently watched this action/comedy movie on Prime and absolutely loved it. Starring Ke Huy Quan, Ariana DeBose, Mustafa Shakir, Sean Astin, and so many more insanely talented people – this one was super fun, stylish and creative. He and I have a bad habit of nodding off halfway through movies after a long day – but this one kept us wide awake and laughing!
Haute & Freddy – ‘Big Disgrace’ – I had played a Haute & Freddy song off of their new album, ‘Big Disgrace’ (released on March 13th) during my weekly radio show and the positive feedback had me eager to listen/share more with my friends and listeners. This album is fantastic and fun from start to finish – filled with catchy lyrics and dance-able beats. It was definitely a refreshing way to help make it through March’s wild weather!
There we have it, everyone! Another installment in the books. I’m looking forward to seeing what I add to the collection by the time the end of April rolls around!
Have a wonderful weekend!
