Cords and a sweater

There is something nostalgic about corduroy pants. They remind me of the 1970s and early 1980s. So, when I was looking for an alternative to jeans this season, I decided to give these cords a go. I am so glad I did!

Despite the fact that they are long, and I needed to have them shortened, they are super comfortable, and I love how they fit. I decided to go with chocolate brown so that I could mix and match them with various neutral hues. It was all about a fall vibe.

We have weather right now which is in between cool and warm. So, as you Bay Area natives know, it’s all about layering! I popped this sweater over my shoulders so I could easily slip it on if the fog rolled in or the wind got too cool; and it was quite windy when we took these photos! That’s why my hair is tucked into the sweater! haha

I had heard about this noodle place named Taro San Japanese Noodle Bar at Stanford Shopping Center, so we decided to try it. I am so glad we did! My husband ordered a bento box, which he told me was delicious. My son enjoyed his beef udon with a side of sushi. I took the plunge into the special Chef’s menu and ordered the Truffle Mushroom Udon. OMG! It was soooooo good. If you love mushrooms as much as I do, you need to try this! It’s a bit more expensive than the regular udon on the menu, but it was worth every extra penny. It was a mushroom fan’s dream! Loved it!

I look forward to going back and trying more items on the menu. It was so good! Maybe I’ll wear my cords again with another sweater. They are super comfy! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

‘Tis the season, for fabulous nails! Yes! Loving the nail polish colors designers are giving us this year for the holiday season. It is so refreshing to not be given light pink and cherry red. I love holiday hues which are not traditional, yet still evoke a festive holiday vibe.

This holiday season, designers have been playing with pink, purple, and berry hues. Two of my three favorite nail polish brands are giving us holiday colors which do just that; play with berry, pink, and purple.

If you have something similar in your nail polish wardrobe, you can pull it back out and easily update your manicure with this sparkling top coat. I love how Dior gives us a festive holiday top coat each year. It can be applied to any nail polish hue and instantly turn it into a current season mani. Love!

So, if you are still in love with another color, from another season, or you have a berry, pink, or purple hue you in your nail polish wardrobe you prefer over the new colors, snap up this top coat and update your mani for the season! It is the easiest way to update your nail polish without breaking the bank. Love that!

Which nail polish color is your favorite for the holiday 2024 season?

Thanks for stopping by!
