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!

Shoe capsule wardrobe fall 2026

I love fall shoes! My shoe capsule wardrobe for fall 2026 is filled with suede, autumn hues, and comfortable footwear. Love that!

Arch support is extremely important, so I have been sticking with shoes I can walk in and also provide arch support. Five out of the six pairs shown above provide arch support whether through built-in arches or heel height. While the brown flats don’t have arch support, they are still comfortable.

These suede high heels are complete game changers. The arch support allows me to walk for miles, stand for long periods of time, and wear them all day without pain. Since they are the stars of my high heel wardrobe, I recently picked up a second pair by Ally; these black boots for fall.

Ally is fast becoming one of my favorite footwear brands. All of their shoes have arch support and are made for walking, standing, and wearing for long periods of time. They are perfect for the office, attending events, and more. I am in love! I plan on adding more of their shoes to my collection over time. They are timeless styles, so definitely investment purchases! Love!

Discount code for Ally shoes: CATHY10 can save you 10% on your purchase. Love that!

Lonza is also fast becoming a new favorite. While their shoes don’t provide built-in arch support, they are comfortable and well-made, as well as affordable. I love their trendier styles. These kitten heels are amazing! Use code CATHY15 to save 15% off your purchase!

Of course, my fall shoe capsule also includes staples from my closet such as these black flats and charcoal boots. I love footwear which stands the test of time.

Happy September! We are seeing cooler nights, more fog, and a handful of trees starting to hint that fall is around is the corner. Thank goodness! I am ready for crisp weather, colorful leaves, and the air conditioner in the off position!

For the fall season, autumn hues, soft fabrics and timeless styles are hotter than hot. I love suede, satin, cozy sweaters, and coated fabrics which look like leather. It’s going to be a fabulous season!

Although the runways have hinted at a return to volume in silhouettes and maximalism, we are still seeing quiet styles on the streets and in stores. Even when things get voluminous, classic styles are still hot, so continue to investment shop and buy staples which can be mixed and matched; and will be easy to wear for several years, not just one season. The trend is to not be too trendy.
