There is always an occasion for a little black dress. I love this little black dress since is machine washable and priced well under $100. I wore this outfit recently to Broadway San Jose and it was perfect for the evening.

When it comes to wearing black, it’s fun to add a pop of color through a handbag, jewelry or footwear. For me, I’m all about the handbag! I’m always looking for an excuse to wear my little green handbag!

Also, I would like to give these black flats a shoutout. They have arch support, so I can easily walk and stand in them despite my plantar fasciitis. Love that!

BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: summer sweater / Dior summer nail polish / Chanel summer nail polish / Hermes summer nail polish / pre-fall black sweater / pink earrings / caramel top handle bag / belted tote / chocolate brown suede boots / east/west bag / Chanel Chance /

Pre-fall has arrived! This always a sneak peek into the fall season. This is a great time to find lighter weight fall clothing since the first half of the fall season is always warm during the day; as if summer refuses to end!

I love short sleeve sweaters during the early fall weeks. This black one is already in my closet and ready for September! It will pair nicely with trousers for the office and jeans for casual days. Love that!

Also watch for a continuation of the suede trend, belted totes, east/west bags, neutral hues, pops of green and dark red, and western inspired boots. Wide leg jeans are nearing the end of their run, so keep your wide leg jeans and continue to wear them, but don’t invest in a new pair. Look for more classic cuts. Barrel jeans are a fleeting trend, so proceed with caution.

The Nordstrom Sale is currently ongoing. Check out my favorite from the sale here.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for upcoming fall coverage!

Hersheypark on a summer day

Who doesn’t love Hersheypark?! We spent a fun summer day at Hersheypark where my adventurous kids rode several roller coasters and I, the aging adult, stuck to the tamer rides. haha

The weather was quite warm, so in the middle of the day we took a break and enjoyed some dipping dots. Cookies and cream is my favorite. Yum!

At the end of the day, it was time to slow down and enjoy a chocolate themed dinner at The Chocolatier. This was my second time eating there, so I made sure to indulge in a Reese’s martini and chicken sandwich complete with chocolate drizzle. My martini was garnished with a mini Reese’s. So good! This place is a chocolate fans dream!

If you order a milkshake, be prepared for a shake the size of dessert for four. They are huge! I apologize for not getting a photo, we had two shakes, and they were a lot of food! Delicious, but a lot of food! Whoa!

So, I have to say, if you visit Pennsylvania, you cannot skip Hershey! There is a museum downtown and Hersheypark is a ton of fun for all ages. Plus, the Hershey company store has chocolates you can’t find elsewhere. We definitely brought some chocolate home with us! Yum!

Thanks for stopping by!
