Winter into spring outfit ideas: large hoop earrings (under $100) / spring long sleeve green tee / faux leather puffer jacket (sold out-also love this one) / G buckle belt / spring jeans / spring nail polish / top handle bag / platform sneakers /

It is winter into spring outfit weather! Our lows are currently hitting in the 30’s and 40’s while our highs are getting into the low 70’s. It’s a big swing which requires a winter into spring look. This also calls for classic Bay Area “layers.”

Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we are taught at an early age to wear layers. The fog rolls in and out, and temperatures can swing from winter in the morning, to spring in the afternoon. Even in the summer months we need our layers! The fog can surprise you! Thankfully, spring merchandise is starting to hit store shelves, and I love being able to work a few pieces into my current wardrobe in order to not only combat the swing in temperatures, but to rock a little bit of spring. Love the bright colors!

This long sleeve tee is a pretty shade of green, which is a popular hue this upcoming spring season. If you are looking to add a pop of spring color to your outfits now, look for pops of pink, green, yellow, orange, and blue. Those colors are huge this upcoming warm weather season!

Denim trends for spring 2022 are also slightly changing. While you can hold onto your skinny jeans, looser styles are really where it’s at. Look for boyfriend cuts, girlfriend cuts, classic cuts, vintage late 80’s/early 90’s cuts, flares, and wide legs. There is a cut for each body type this season. Love that!

I wore this winter into spring outfit the other day while window shopping at Valley Fair and enjoying lunch at Bamboo Sushi. I highly recommend the cauliflower!

Are you starting to add a little bit of spring into your daily wardrobe? Despite what the groundhog said, spring really is around the corner! The blossoms are blooming, and the sun is shining. Love!

I am looking forward to adding a little more spring into my wardrobe this month. Stay tuned for more spring on the blog this month, plus fall/winter 2022/23 NYFW coverage!

Thanks for stopping by!

Late summer casual

August 17, 2021 in Bay Area Fashion / General Fashion tagged casual style / denim / fall 2021 / outfits / summer 2021 by Bay Area Fashionista

Wearing: sunglasses / white drop earrings / fall lipstick / stripe tee (under $50) / black hobo bag / gemstone bracelets (local San Jose designer!) / fall nail polish / snake buckle belt / fall jeans / grey boat shoes /

Recognize this tee? It has been one of my favorite go-to tee’s of the season! It’s very soft and comfortable, plus, the puff sleeves make it right on trend. The runways were full of statement and puff sleeves, so this tee is fabulous for everyday wear. Love that!

I wore my favorite tee to go out to lunch with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun. My outfit combines some fall items with a few summer items for a transition from summer into fall look. Dawn did the same thing, and she looks fabulous! As you can see, street style here in California offers up an on-trend tee paired with destroyed jeans, in a fall color, and a fabulous IT bag.

Dawn and I met at Valley Fair mall to check out what’s coming in for fall, and also to enjoy a yummy lunch. We ate at King’s Fish House and enjoyed sushi, edamame, and soup. Love!

In addition to delicious food and checking out the new fall merchandise, Valley Fair had an Instagram-ready, vintage van set up outside the restaurant. Um, did they know we were coming? We were so excited! As you can tell, we used it as our backdrop for a few pictures. We made sure to stand “purse first” so you could see which IT bags are hot in Silicon Valley right now. Seriously, YSL and Prada are EVERYWHERE on the street here!

May 5, 2021 in Bay Area Fashion / General Fashion / Home / Shopping tagged happy mothers day / holiday gift guide 2021 / holiday gift ideas / spring 2021 / the perfect provenance by Bay Area Fashionista

Things are opening up! The weather is fabulous, and the economy is opening; this means it’s the perfect time to head over to Downtown Tiburon and shop local! The Perfect Provenance is my favorite local boutique. The shop is full of on trend clothing for both men and women, as well as children’s books, home decor, accessories, and the most amazing gifts!

The Perfect Provenance is full of artisan candles, luxurious fragrances, vacation-ready handbags, jewelry from local designers, and some products which directly charity. There is a little bit of everyone in-store, love that!

I picked up luxurious soap for my Mom for Mother’s Day. As you can see in the photo at the top of this post, the soap is made in France, and has the most amazing scent. I chose “Lavande” for her since she is a huge lavender fan. I know she will love it! In addition to the soap, I also picked up fragrance from Veronique Gabai, which only uses natural, ethically sourced ingredients. They also use green chemistry, and biodegradable materials. Mom will love this!

If you are looking for fragrance, and/or candles for Mom, The Perfect Provenance has something I am sure she will love.

Oh, and speaking of products with a cause. . .

On the surface, this look like a trendy tee with the word “Peace” written on the front. Underneath it all, this tee is anything from ordinary; in fact, it is extraordinary and special. alivia is an extra special brand, which takes inspiration from autistic artists. Everything from the art to the stitches was hand-made by autistic artisans. In addition, 10% of sales goes back to the artist’s non-profit. Love that! This tee is a must-have for summer. It will look so cute with shorts and sandals. They also make sweatshirts, masks, and scrunchies. Love!

I am loving all the fabulous straw, woven, and natural fiber handbags we are seeing this year for the summer season. The Perfect provenance has a plethora of beautiful summer bags in stock right now, as we speak. I know they won’t last long! This one in the photo above is perfect for a beachy vacation, or day-to-day summer life. Love it!

If you are local to the Bay Area, be sure to pop into The Perfect Provenance this week and find something special for Mom. Or, you can always treat her to brunch at Sam’s on Sunday, and then walk across the street and let her pick out anything she wants from the store! I know I would love that on Mother’s Day!

Not local? No worries! You can shop everything you see here by either calling the store, or shopping directly from their website at ThePerfectProvenance.com.

One of the things I love about The Perfect Provenance is that they have several products which directly benefit Operation Smile. This tee below is new and special for the Tiburon store. Love that is says “Smile California,” You can learn more about the collection online here.

I hope you find everything you need for Mother’s Day! Have a fabulous Mother’s Day and thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
