We haven’t even enjoyed fall sweater weather yet and the sweaters are already on sale! This cozy cardigan sweater is on sale, and it works perfectly as a weekend sweater with jeans or paired with a pencil skirt or trousers for the office. Love!

I can’t wait for cooler temperatures so I can wear it! Right now, this cardigan sweater is priced under $100. I have it ready for sweater weather, pumpkin spice everything, and cool days ahead. Bring on fall weather!

Sacramento trip day one

wearing: earrings / sunglasses / cardigan sweater / nail polish / black pants (similar here) / handbag / boots (similar here) /

We are in Sacramento! Earlier this month I joined Broadway San Jose and additional content creators for a quick trip to Broadway Sacramento. We enjoyed a performance of “Some Like it Hot!” and had the opportunity to interview both cast and crew members. Stay tuned for details!

We traveled to Sacramento by Amtrak; which I have to say, was much more relaxing than driving up there! After our train adventure, we settled into our hotel and enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Cafeteria 15L. The tater tots were delicious and my entree, Rigatoni Bolognese, was divine. Yum! If you are ever in the Sacramento area, be sure to stop in for a meal, it’s so good!

After dinner, we headed over to the Safe Credit Union Performing Arts Center. The venue was built a few years ago and has the modern technology needed to ensure ideal acoustics. Love that!

“Some Like it Hot!” was absolutely amazing, and slightly different than the movie. That being said, I will not give out any spoilers because I want you to pick up tickets and see the show when it arrives here in San Jose in October. You will love it!

Well, since I can’t give out any spoilers, please stay tuned for more details and the interviews! They will post later this week on Instagram and here on the blog.

Thanks for stopping by and visit BroadwaySanJose.com for show details and ticket information. I hope you pick up tickets for the show! It’s a must-see!

XOXO

It has been a fun week! NYFW sent spring 2026 down the runway and we got a sneak peek into what is coming in the new year. It looks like any color goes as we saw bright hues, neutrals and everything in between. In addition, sculptural jewelry is making a comeback and the 1990s are in full swing. Think minimalism in technicolor.

There were also supermodel era polka dots and hats. Let’s see how that translates to the streets in spring! Should be fun! So, in order to prepare, keep investing in timeless styles since logos will remain out, and solid colors will remain hot. You will see more polka dots, but not a lot of prints other than polka dots. Think 1990s minimalism; yes, I repeated myself.

Any-whoo, I also attended a fun event earlier in the week hosted by Broadway San Jose. They offered live jazz, delicious food, vintage vibes and “Some Like It Hot” on the big screen. Check out my recap here.

What’s trending this week:

Stay tuned for my NYFW trend report for spring 2026 and also more fall coverage!

Thanks for stopping by!
