Spring is in full swing, and it is time to spice things up! Minimalism is getting an update this season as we add pops of color, metallics, IT bags from the early 2000’s and texture to our otherwise neutral palettes.

As we move through spring, continue to invest in the anonymous handbag; logos are not coming back anytime soon. Also, keep investing in neutrals but add prints and pops of color here and there to add a little spice to your overall look. Also, metallics are picking back up, so look for golden or silver leather on shoes and handbags.

Floral fragrances are hot for the warm weather season and silver, white gold, and platinum are making a comeback in jewelry. Pearls continue to be hotter than hot, so keep investing!

Barrel jeans at the beach

Well, that was a heat wave! What better place to hide from ninety-degree weather in March than the Beach Chalet in San Francisco! I had to go to the city for a meeting anyway, so enjoying a peaceful lunch at the Beach Chalet was a no brainer.

The temperatures rose to the low eighties in the city, but I was still comfortable in jeans and a knit top since we went out to Ocean Beach after our meeting. It was the perfect outfit for a warm spring day in the city. Love!

At the Beach Chalet, they gave us a fabulous table next to the window where we could enjoy the view of the ocean. It was peaceful and relaxing. Something I need right now!

I enjoyed the Mahi Mahi, which might be my new favorite menu item. It was delicious! I also enjoyed their calamari, which we ate as an appetizer, of course!

If you are local to the Bay Area, or plan to visit, be sure to stop into Beach Chalet for a meal. It is a rare, beachside restaurant in the city packed with history, ambiance, and delicious food. One of my favorite places to eat!
