Life has been so busy lately, my husband and I have not had a chance to go out together without the kids in months! In fact, we have only gone out once since the shut-down ended. About a week ago, we actually had a free Saturday evening, so we took advantage of it!

I have been to Flights in Los Gatos a handful of times with my mom for lunch, but my husband never had a chance to go. He had been missing out! Flights is a restaurant that serves different variations of a dish on the same plate; essentially a flight of food. It’s not only fun, creative, and fresh, it’s delicious!

My husband enjoyed a flight of skewers, while I ordered the seared ahi flight. We shared a plate of mixed mushrooms, and the french fries flight. It was a cool evening, and we ate on the patio, so I also ordered warm tea. It was perfect! The food was so good, and my husband was really impressed. He has a new favorite restaurant, that isn’t a sports bar! haha

Since I knew we would be on the patio, and Los Gatos is a California Casual type of place, I opted for my dark wash skinny jeans paired with my oversize, long sleeve top. To stay warm on the patio, I added my pink scarf. It was perfect for staying cozy outside on a cold evening.

If you are local to the Bay Area, be sure to try out Flights. They have locations in Los Gatos, Campbell, Burlingame, and Las Vegas (obvi not the Bay Area). If you go, make sure you get the french fries flight, it’s a must-have! If you love sushi, or fish in general, the seared ahi flight will knock your socks off. Yum!!

Thanks for stopping by!

There’s nothing like cozy sweater weather! This chunky knit sweater is perfect for cool days, and for staying cozy. It’s chunky, not too warm, and ideal for fall days. Layer it with a long sleeve tee, and this chunky knit cardigan sweater can easily work throughout the fall and winter seasons. Love it!

I wore this cozy fall outfit the other day to wander around Stanford Shopping Center, and enjoy a delicious lunch at Neiman Marcus Cafe. I haven’t enjoyed a meal there since pre-covid; so it was definitely a treat! I mean, who doesn’t look forward to the consume and puff as an appetizer? They’re iconic!

My Mom enjoyed the tacos, and I ordered the special, which was a lobster sandwich. As always, our food was very yummy. Neiman’s Cafe can do no wrong! At least, in my opinion.

This was a meal we had both looked forward to as a post-covid shut-down goal. It was so nice to be able to go back for lunch! Which restaurants and/or places did you look forward to when everything started to open back up?

It’s finally fall weather! Love! My Mom and I went to Valley Fair Mall last week to check out the fall merchandise, and see if anything has started to arrive for the holidays. Normally in October, we start seeing holiday merchandise, such as nail polish; this year holiday beauty collections have not arrived yet. I am patiently waiting. . .

The fall merchandise was plentiful and cozy looking. I was so thankful the outside weather matched what we saw inside the stores. There was a lot of wind, and cool, moderate temperatures. Perfect weather for wearing a cardigan sweater and a scarf.

We wandered into several stores and eventually stopped for lunch at Bamboo Sushi. OMG! It was SO GOOD! For an appetizer, we tried the cauliflower, and it was delicious. They coated it in a yummy black bean sauce and spices. I am addicted, and definitely need to return for more cauliflower! I also enjoyed a couple sushi rolls. So good! If you are local, be sure to try out Bamboo Sushi next time you head to Valley Fair. It’s so worth it!

I’m sorry I don’t have a photo of the cauliflower, please trust me on how delicious it was! This photo is Ikura Nigiri and the box roll. So good!

Can we chat about this sweater really quick? It is incredibly good quality and the stitching is so well done. Can you believe it is priced under $100? I had to pinch myself when I saw how good the price was. It also comes in a few other colors. I’m tempted to pick up another one in a different hue. It’s so good!

I also want to quickly give a shout-out to these lug sole boots. I purchased them last year, and they were so popular, they are still on the market! These boots happen to be water resistant, and very comfortable. I could walk in them for days! Plus, the lug sole look is still very much on trend; especially with the huge 1990s influences we are seeing in fashion this year. These boots are affordable, and will work well throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons. If you didn’t pick up a pair last year, and you need boots, I recommend picking up this pair!
