Winter into spring outfit ideas: large hoop earrings (under $100) / spring long sleeve green tee / faux leather puffer jacket (sold out-also love this one) / G buckle belt / spring jeans / spring nail polish / top handle bag / platform sneakers /

It is winter into spring outfit weather! Our lows are currently hitting in the 30’s and 40’s while our highs are getting into the low 70’s. It’s a big swing which requires a winter into spring look. This also calls for classic Bay Area “layers.”

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we are taught at an early age to wear layers. The fog rolls in and out, and temperatures can swing from winter in the morning, to spring in the afternoon. Even in the summer months we need our layers! The fog can surprise you! Thankfully, spring merchandise is starting to hit store shelves, and I love being able to work a few pieces into my current wardrobe in order to not only combat the swing in temperatures, but to rock a little bit of spring. Love the bright colors!

This long sleeve tee is a pretty shade of green, which is a popular hue this upcoming spring season. If you are looking to add a pop of spring color to your outfits now, look for pops of pink, green, yellow, orange, and blue. Those colors are huge this upcoming warm weather season!

Denim trends for spring 2022 are also slightly changing. While you can hold onto your skinny jeans, looser styles are really where it’s at. Look for boyfriend cuts, girlfriend cuts, classic cuts, vintage late 80’s/early 90’s cuts, flares, and wide legs. There is a cut for each body type this season. Love that!

I wore this winter into spring outfit the other day while window shopping at Valley Fair and enjoying lunch at Bamboo Sushi. I highly recommend the cauliflower!

Are you starting to add a little bit of spring into your daily wardrobe? Despite what the groundhog said, spring really is around the corner! The blossoms are blooming, and the sun is shining. Love!

I am looking forward to adding a little more spring into my wardrobe this month. Stay tuned for more spring on the blog this month, plus fall/winter 2022/23 NYFW coverage!

Thanks for stopping by!

Classic and casual winter look

February 2, 2022 in General Fashion tagged casual style / outfits / winter 2022 by Cheap Luxury Handbags Store

wearing: sunglasses / statement earrings / long sleeve tee / v-neck sweater / cross body bag / G buckle belt / dark wash skinny jeans / spring nail polish / platform sneakers /

It’s that time of year when temperatures drop overnight, and then the sun comes out! When the sun comes out, we get to enjoy 60-degree weather and lots of sunshine. Love that!

This layered, classic and casual look was perfect the other day for walking around in the mild, sunny weather we have been having. The layers are warm enough for sixty-degree weather, yet thin enough to wear underneath a winter coat when the temperatures drop in the evening hours, or to wear early in the morning when temperatures hover in the thirties and forties.

My foot injury is still healing, so I wore my comfy, go-to sneakers so that I could easily walk around Santana Row. It worked out well since I was able to window shop and also get a little bit of exercise without pain in my foot. We ate lunch at Zazil and I enjoyed the cheese enchiladas with mole sauce. They have really good mole sauce! If you haven’t been to Zazil, I highly recommend trying it out. They have ample outdoor seating, and the indoor seats have really good ventilation. We enjoyed our meal and overall experience. Love!

San Jose winter street style

January 20, 2022 in General Fashion tagged casual style / outfits / street style trends / winter 2022 by Cheap Luxury Handbags Store

Wearing: sunglasses / earrings / puffer jacket (almost sold out, also love this one) / long sleeve collared tee shirt / G buckle belt / red slouchy hobo / dark wash jeans / spring nail polish / faux fur boots (on major sale!) /

It’s that chilly time of year when everyone in the south bay is bundling up in faux fur boots, jeans, and a puffer jacket or coat. This year, puffer jackets are everywhere. Not that they aren’t normally around, they are a winter staple, but this year they seem a little bit more popular.

I love this puffer jacket because it has a dramatic collar, and it is both comfortable and cozy. It’s no wonder almost all the sizes are sold out! There is a similar version of this jacket, which is made from fabric instead of vegan leather, it is equally fabulous and available in tons of colors. I might have to snap up a fun color for the rest of the season! I wear this jacket almost everyday!

My mom snapped these photos for me while we were walking to the new Dumpling Time restaurant at Santana Row in San Jose. This is a famed restaurant from the city which is known for their xlb dumplings. We were quite hungry when we arrived, and if you look at the photos below, you can see the two of us ordered a lot of food! haha

We ordered the pork xlb dumpling, spring rolls, pork dumplings, gyoza, har gow, lobster shu mai, and pork buns. It was a lot of food and we ended up taking roughly 1/3 of it home. My kids ended up eating the leftovers, and they loved them! Next time I go, I will take my whole family. My mom and I really enjoyed the food, and the service was very attentive and friendly. We loved it!

It’s always fun to add a new restaurant to the rotation. So, if you are local, be sure to check out the new Dumpling Time at Santana Row!

Also, these faux fur boots are on sale! They come in several colors and they are very comfortable. I get a lot of arch pain, but these boots support my arches and I am pain free walking around in them. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!
