OK, how cute are these Air Jordan 1 Low’s! I was so excited when I won them on the SNKR’s app. They are a women’s style with a beautiful combination of pale blue leather and grey suede. I know I am not tying them the “cool” way, but if I tie them the cool way they fall off my feet, so I am going to be uncool until I figure out how to tie them correctly and have them stay on my feet. haha

I found this pretty light blue tee for under $50, and it looks perfect with my Air Jordan 1 Low sneakers since they are pale blue! I decided to play with color a little bit and pair the pale blue with my bright green handbag and lilac summer nail polish. It’s a very casual look with some color fun. Love!

This outfit worked out well the other day when my family and I went out to lunch at Dough Zone in Cupertino. If you haven’t been to Dough Zone, you will love it if you are a fan of dumpling and noodles. They have the most amazing spicy won tons. So good!

In addition to their yummy won tons, we also enjoyed pot stickers, soup dumplings, dan dan noodles, and green onion pancake. Dough Zone also has amazing dan dan noodles. They are so good! Those are my two favorite dishes; the spicy won tons and the dan dan noodles. I highly recommend trying them!

I’m having fun building up my sneaker wardrobe this summer. Hopefully I can add some more fun colors to my collection.

Stay tuned for my tips on how to win in the SNKR’s app later this week!

Summer vacation has arrived! This means I needed to put my summer capsule wardrobe in order. This summer, we plan to stay casual as we have a lot of plans surrounding my daughter who heads to college in the fall. In order to be comfortable, my summer capsule wardrobe is casual, and can easily be worn with sneakers; a shoe style I am wearing a lot lately due to my injured foot.

Shorts and tee’s are summer staples, so I found a few tee’s which are slightly elevated with puff sleeves or tie sleeves. This way, I can stay casual without looking sloppy. Shorts are a must-have in the warm summer months, so these two pairs will serve me well! I always like to have pants in the summer too. Sometimes we get cool foggy days or mornings. Pants are perfect for the those days! These joggers are perfect because they move away from being everyday denim, yet offer just as much comfort as jeans. Love that!

This summer, people are dressing up a little bit more. After all, we are free from quarantine! So, in order to keep things casual and comfortable, yet not look like loungewear, I found this super comfortable dress priced under $50. I originally purchased it in blue, and I loved it so much, I bought two more! I now have it in black and stripes. It is really flattering, comfortable, and ideal for hot summer days. I plan to live in these dresses! LOVE! If you are looking for a fuss-free summer dress, this is the one!

Wearing: large hoop earrings / stripe tee / green woven bag / G buckle belt / dark wash jeans / spring nail polish / gemstone bracelets (under $50, local designer) / nike dunk low sneakers (sold out, also love these) /

Sometimes you just want to make your outfit all about your bag, and this outfit, is all about my bag! I chose my classic dark wash, skinny jeans with my favorite stripe tee in order to show off the bright green hue of my handbag. I love making my handbag the center of attention! After all, I love handbags! haha

In addition to the handbag, did you notice I scored a pair of Dunk’s? I have been entering the draw’s through Nike’s SNKR’s app and I am starting to score Dunk and Air Jordan’s for myself and my family. It’s a fun way to shop plus it feels to good to get a pair of shoes my kids really, really, and I mean REALLY want! There is definitely a sense of accomplishment walking around in shoes I sort-of had to work to buy! haha

I wore this outfit while window shopping at Standford Shopping Center. We enjoyed a yummy meal at pacific Catch, which is turning into one of my favorite restaurants. I usually eat at the Cupertino location, but the Standford location is equally delicious. You can see my yummy fish tacos below.

In addition to fish tacos, they have a large menu filled with a variety of seafood dishes. Everything is good! If you haven’t been to one of their locations yet, be sure to check them out soon!

Do you ever plan your outfit around your handbag? Or am I just a crazy one? haha. Let me know!
