Late summer outfit for wine tasting

wearing: gold hoops / black tee / black handbag / fall nail polish / satin skirt / black shoes /

It’s the perfect time of year for an evening wine tasting. The weather is perfect once dinner time hits, so enjoying an evening outside is ideal.

As the summer months start to near an end, I try to mix fall style with warm, summer weather style. This is easy to do with fall colors and lightweight clothing. Berry hues, dark tees, and flats are an easy way to get a fall look, while still dressing for the weather. Love that!

Over the weekend, my friend invited me to wine tasting at Testarossa in Los Gatos. Of course, I said yes!

The wine is really good. We enjoyed chardonnay and pinot noir as well as one rose. They were all good, but the 2024 Rosella’s Vineyard Chardonnay was my favorite. We also enjoyed some delicious food; huge shout-out to the perfectly cooked French Fries. So good!

So, if you are local, I highly recommend visiting Testarossa for an evening wine tasting. You will enjoy it!

Scarf skirt and a cute tea

wearing: gold hoops / black tee / nail polish / black handbag / scarf skirt / black boots /

It’s always a fun time enjoying tea at the Hello Kitty Cafe at Valley Fair. The food is on theme and so cute! Plus, it’s delicious! If you haven’t been to tea-time at the Hello Kitty Cafe, you need to make a reservation and go! It’s so cute and yummy!

I decided to wear my scarf skirt for teatime. I was experiencing some foot pain, so I wore my comfy boots which are easy to walk in and support my feet. This scarf skirt also looks cute with sandals and flats; which would normally be my preference over boots.

This scarf skirt is so much fun! It has that fun, scarf (asymmetrical) hemline which give it style its’ on own. For warm days, it’s easy to pair with a tee and boom! An outfit is born. As temperatures cool off in the fall season, I can pair this skirt with a short sleeve sweater, and eventually a long sleeve sweater and knee boots. Love!

Scarves are making a comeback. So, feel free to pull out your vintage scarves from yesteryear and incorporate them into your everyday looks. When shopping for fall, look for fun styles with scarf inspiration such a blouses, dresses and of course, skirts!

August is flying by! Can you believe it’s halfway through? Where is the time going? Anyway, this means we are closer to fall and fall temperatures. Love that!

As we think about prepping our wardrobes for fall, the new season will bring the return of color mixed in with neutrals. It will also continue to bring us high-quality style and steer clear of logos. We are seeing softer fabrications and obvious fall staples such as suede, cashmere, and silk scarves. Bring on fall! I am so done with summer weather!

Fall nail polish is starting to appear on store shelves, and it is selling quickly. Brands are starting to use the scarcity marketing tactic with nail polish. So, if you like a color, buy it quickly!
