For a mid-range handbag gift, this classic shoulder bag is a great gift idea. Again, I have one and love it! Lastly, if you are looking for something a little trendy in the mid-price handbag range. this fun, moon shaped handbag is right on trend right now, as well as in 2023. Your fashionable handbag fan will love it!

Looking for jeans to replace your skinnies? Yes, I know, skinnies are over, and it is hard to part ways. Thankfully these flare jeans fit really well and are priced under $100, so you don’t have to feel guilty about buying them to replace your beloved skinnies. If your skinnies were on the expensive side, like mine were, fold them up and store them. Skinnies will be back. Mark my words.

Have you checked out these classic hoops yet? They are priced under $100 and make a great gift too. Hoops are a classic earring shape, and they never go out of style. I have had this pair for several years and I wear them a few times per week. Love them!

SFO Museum SF Opera A Centennial Celebration review

SFO Museum has a new exhibit in B Gates in the American Airlines terminal! If you love opera, this is an amazing opportunity to see a few SF Opera costumes up close and personal. The intricate details on the costumes is indescribable; and these photos do not do them justice. You must see them in person. I mean, what better excuse do you need to plan a vacation?

We all arrive at the airport so early these days, especially if we anticipate a long wait at TSA. It is so nice to know the SFO Museum has displays around the airport that we can enjoy, and often learn from, while we wait for our flight. I mean, why sit at the gate when you are about to sit on a plane for several hours? The walking is nice!

Whether or not you love opera, you will appreciate the beautiful details on the costumes, as well as the historical lesson about the San Francisco Opera! If you are visiting San Francisco, be sure to attend a SF Opera performance, you will enjoy it!

You can learn more about the SFO Museum at SFOMuseum.org.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a safe flight!

The color of 2023 is here! Pantone announced last week that the new color of the year for 2023 is “Viva Magenta.” This saturated hue combines pink and red to create a color found in nature that we can all love.

There are many variations of Viva Magenta in fashion as move into 2023. We will have choices between shades of pink and red, as well as shades of magenta. There will be a lot of choices from this color family. So, if Magenta isn’t your thing, but you love more of a true red or pink, you’re in luck! Your color will be out there!

I found a few fabulous items around the web in shades of magenta to kick off the new color of the year. I hope you love them!

How do you plan to wear Viva Magenta? I have my eyes on that sweater shown above, and I have a scarf I plan to put back into circulation. It is such a pretty color!

To learn more about the color of the year 2023 Viva Magenta, please visit Pantone.com.

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy Viva Magenta!
