Dior nail polish holidays 2025: Dior Plum Parade / Dior Gold Circus (top coat) /

It’s beginning to look like the holiday season! The much-anticipated Dior beauty collection is here, and the holiday nail polish is fabulous. Love!

For the 2025 holiday season, Dior has given us a beautiful, deep plum nail polish and also a sparkling golden top coat. Together, they make a festive holiday manicure for the party season and New Years Eve. Separately, the possibilities are endless.

Dior Plum Parade nail polish is a deep plum hue which can easily be worn now, during the fall season, and then throughout the holiday and winter seasons. It is a classic hue with a festive vibe. Love that!

In order to create a holiday party vibe, Dior Plum Parade nail polish can be topped with Dior Gold Circus top coat. The top coat is a dense, sparkling polish with tiny golden sparkles. The sparkles are three dimensional, adding the right subtle gold hue and party vibe. This top coat will also look amazing on top of neutral nail polish hues such as beige and mocha, as well as other shades of red, plum, and berry hues. Love!

So, without further ado, here is the Dior nail polish collection for the 2025 holiday season!

Casual fall day in San Jose Japantown

Life has been on the stressful side lately, so I decided to pre-order some Chichi Dango and enjoy a meal in San Jose’s Japantown. Have you heard of Shuei-Do in San Jose? They are famous for their soft and delicious Chichi Dango. They make it fresh daily Thursday through Sunday. The flavors are seasonal, and since they get busy, it is best to pre-order what you want a couple days in advance. I pre-ordered raspberry and mango. They were so good! Raspberry is my favorite.

After picking up our treats, we walked around and then enjoyed lunch at Okayama Sushi. Normally I would order sushi, but I was in the mood for tendon and gyoza. It was so yummy! Highly recommend!

Thankfully we are starting to get a small amount of fall weather. I was able to wear jeans and a long sleeve tee. It was perfect! I love this cooler weather.

So, if you are local, I recommend picking up some Chichi Dango and then enjoying a nice meal in San Jose’s Japantown. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Evening Broadway Show outfit idea

Evening Broadway Show outfit idea: berry jacket / cz earrings / fall nail polish / lipstick / eau de parfum / high heels / black skirt / hobo handbag /

Going to a Broadway Show at night and wondering what to wear? Never fear, outfit inspo is here!

The evening Broadway Shows are a bit chicer than the daytime matinee performances. While you can wear your office attire during the week, the weekends are a touch dressier. So, I recommend a jacket over skirt or trousers, the high heels you never have a chance to wear, and a smaller handbag. Think conservative Saturday night dinner attire. Love!

When it comes to fragrance, remember that a theater is tight quarters. I recommend one spray on your wrist and then dab it on the other wrist and neck. Don’t be tempted for a second spray! One spray is perfect.
