Denim is hot in 2026! Although denim is a classic fabric, designers are having extra fun with it this year, so lookout for a lot of denim throughout the year!

One of the hot denim trends this year is the denim maxi skirt. I love this one since it has a full silhouette, and I was able to buy it in petite! It is always a fabulous thing when I don’t have to pay for alterations. Love that!

We enjoyed temperatures in the high 60’s during the Lunar New Year celebration at Santana Row, so this outfit worked out perfectly. Since the sun was shining, we ate brunch on the outdoor patio at Augustine. The food was delicious and we had close seats to the Lunar New Year entertainment.

I enjoyed the Dungeness Crab Donuts and a side of French Fries. They were delicious! My husband and my son both ordered the hamburger with fries, they also enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend if you are local!

The entertainment was amazing. There were performances which included a lion dance, local dancers, local singers, kung fu, and more! We had a lot of fun. I will definitely go again next year.

Black top and jeans for spring 2026

wearing: pearl earrings / black top / classic jeans / spring nail polish / blue-grey bag / black boots /

We had a glimpse of spring last week with temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s, and it was fabulous! The weather was perfect for a classic black top and jeans. Love!

I met up with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun at Valley Fair and we enjoyed the Fire Horse decorations as well as a pasta meal at Eataly. It was so nice to relax and enjoy time with my friend!

So, when you scroll through Instagram so you get ads for the same retailers over and over again? I do. There is one retailer, Modern Citizan, which is always in my feed. I decided to give in to temptation and order this black top from them. It has rushing on the side and an asymmetrical neckline which I find extremely flattering.

The top was moderately priced, so I was praying it would be nice since I have never seen this brand in person. Thankfully, it was! The fabric is thick and the construction is strong. It’s a good fabric for fall, winter and spring. It might be too thick in the summer, but we shall see when the summer season gets here! Overall, I am happy with the top, so I will definitely order from them again in the future.
