Fall is in the air! Well, only at the mall, it’s still summer outside. That being said, I am patiently waiting for fall weather so I can start wearing a cozier wardrobe! I love sweaters, boots, and everything cozy! Bring on the cooler temps!

This fall season, we are seeing a lot of traditional autumn hues, chic and timeless styles, and a continuation of neutrals as well as quiet branding; i.e. no logos.

As a recession looms, it is important to continue to save your money when it comes to trends. Instead of spending money on trendy items which will last one season, two or three if you are lucky, money is better spent on investment items and styles which transcend trends. So, this fall season, I am sticking to classic looks, and simple pieces. After all, I am all about a good investment piece anyway!

Beach day at Pismo

No vacation is complete without a trip to the beach! During our road trip, we spent a quiet, relaxing day at Pismo Beach. They too have free parking! Love that!

We spent the morning on the beach. Part of our morning was talking and reading, and then we also went in the water. It was fairly warm compared to our Bay Area beaches!

For lunch, we went to our favorite burger restaurant, Cool Cat Cafe on Pomeroy Ave. They have a wide variety of burgers, meals, and vegetarian options. It was delicious, as usual!

After lunch, we went back to the beach and repeated our morning. It was relaxing, fun and perfect for a summer vacation day. If you are from California and you have not visited Pismo Beach yet, what are you waiting for? Definitely enjoy the beach and town before fall hits!

Well, that’s about it. The beach is always a great family fun day, and it always provides a relaxing vibe. Before summer ends, I recommend hitting your favorite beach.

Thanks for stopping by!

Although it is still the summer season, fall is in the air when it comes to shopping. This upcoming fall 2024 season we are looking at timeless flats, sleek boots, neutrals mixed with traditional hues, and chic basics. These are the building blocks for the fall season!

We are still in an era where personal style is transcending fleeting trends. We are continuing to gravitate towards pieces we can wear season after season; instead of one-season-wonders. Love that! (Our bank accounts love that too!)

Next week I will dive into shopping your closet for fall and making a shopping list for filling in the blanks! In the meantime, enjoy summer and look for simple, chic styles. The anonymous handbag remains supreme!
