It’s after Labor Day, which means we can claim it’s fall! Despite the fact that fall officially starts on September 22, but I digress. . .

It’s time to load up on soft fabrics, autumn hues, and pink nail polish as we head into the fall season. Suede, cashmere, satin, and more are hot for fall. So, shop your closet first, then fill in with some fall shopping!

You might remember me raving about these suede high heels. They have arch support and I can walk for miles and stand for hours in them. Well, I loved them so much I got the boots! These boots offer arch support and are equally comfortable. They are so easy to walk in, plus, they are perfect for fall! These boots are fabulous with both casual outfits and office attire. I love them with my trousers. They are perfect!

Also, have you noticed people are wearing scarves again? Pull out your scarves from last seasons and start rocking them! You can wear them any way you want. As a neckerchief, a belt, loose around the neck, anything goes! Love that!

Spring 2027 color trends from Pantone at NYFW

spring 2027 color trends

pictured: color swatches c/o Pantone /

Spring 2027 is heading down the runway and Pantone has released the hottest colors we will see in the new year. As you can see, the color trends for spring 2027 are shifting. The hues are vivid, cheerful, and traditionally spring/summer. Love that!

There is starting to be a shift away from an all-neutral look to color mixing. The shift is giving us color blocking, tonal looks, and mixing colors in an unexpected way for spring. Instead of bold prints, the transition from mixed neutrals is mixed colors. You no longer need to pair blue with grey or black, you can pair it with lavender, pink, or any color you’re in the mood for. This upcoming spring 2027 season will give us colorful options and combos, so get ready!

The top five neutral hues are pushing the boundaries of neutral. Blue Indigo offer a blue-grey look instead of a traditional navy for spring. Antique white offers variety since it can be paired with any combination of hues. Of course, Dolphin can be any grey you already have in your wardrobe from past seasons, so you’ll be able to shop your closet for that hue! Look for these five colors when investing in neutrals for spring, they will give you an easy backdrop for styling your looks.

Pantone recognized three standout colors for the spring/summer 2027 season. Princess Blue, Lavender Oil, and Rosy Future. Look for these colors to explode in popularity in the new year.

Which colors are your favorites? I love Rosy Future, Waterfall, and Antique White. I will be watching store shelves for these colors so I can add them to my wardrobe! They would make beautiful nail polish colors too!

Thanks for stopping by, and you can read more about the spring 2027 colors trends at Pantone.com.

Visiting the Legion of Honor Etruscans exhibit

Ah! We finally made it to the Etruscans exhibit at the Legion of Honor! I’ve wanted to see this exhibit for months, but the summer season was sooooo busy and slightly chaotic, we never made it! It was so nice to catch it before it goes away on September 20. If you are local, and have not seen it yet, please try to see it before it’s gone!

As someone with Italian ancestors, I was fascinated by the exhibit. It was amazing to see artwork and artifacts from the Etruscans up close. The Legion of Honor also had an informative video which was jam-packed with information. Be sure to watch the video before wandering into the exhibit!

In case you are not familiar with the Legion of Honor, it has two main floors. The bottom floor has the rotating exhibits and the permanent collection is usually housed on the main floor. Of course, things can change! I recommend getting the annual pass so you can keep returning to see the rotating exhibits. It also works for the deYoung too. Love that!

You can learn more about the Legion of Honor on their website at famsf.org.

Pro tip: Arrive by 9:30am when the museum opens for easy parking. You can grab a delicious cappuccino inside the museum cafe, plus dessert or meals. Yum!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the exhibit!
