Shades of white are hot for the new year! This fresh neutral is the color of 2026, and I am loving this! While Cloud Dancer is a specific shade of white, you can really wear any shade of white in the new year, so there are a lot of options allowing you to rock this hot color trend now! Love that!

Shades of white are being paired with both pastel color palettes and vibrant hues. You can also pair it with shades of brown for an earthy look. Also, as we moved into the new year, handbags are softer, slouchy, and more carefree. Continue looking for hobos, belted totes, the pouch, east/west styles, and soft silhouettes.

Handbags are an easy way to incorporate shades of white into your wardrobe. You can easily wear this handbag color with anything and everything on a daily basis. The temperature outside doesn’t matter and the color combo you are wearing won’t matter either; the white handbag will match and be perfect with your outfit. Love that!

Visiting Levi’s The Vault in San Francisco

Levi’s The Vault (museum) from top: Worn by Beyonce’s, Levi’s covered in Swarovski crystals / Iconic matching outfits by Levi’s worn by Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears / Kurt Cobain’s jeans /

Levi’s has reopened their corporate museum “The Vault” and also their corporate store. Love! If you live in the Bay Area, this is a fun excursion while you’re visiting the city. More info at LeviStrauss.com.

The current exhibition at The Vault is centered around Levi’s pieces worn by iconic musicians. I am sure you recognized the ones I featured in this post! Love! This exhibit closes in December, but a new one with another theme will open in February. Stay tuned!

The museum is a one-room exhibition, so it only takes about fifteen minutes to visit. Since Levi’s headquarters is by the water and the piers, it is easy to combine other activities with your visit. In addition to visiting the store, there are a few restaurants nearby, the Exploratorium is a five-minute walk away, and more! We enjoyed a delicious lunch at Xica.

Enchiladas at Xica. This restaurant is so good! I can’t wait to go back! Yummy! Highly recommend.

Of course I wore Levi’s jeans to visit Levi’s The Vault. These jeans are classic, comfortable, flattering, and also available in various lengths, making them perfect for petites! Love that!

Although chilly outside, it was a beautiful day in the city. After enjoying lunch at Xica, we walked around the waterfront and enjoyed the fog-free view.

I will watch for the next exhibit and keep you posted! Levi’s a huge part of San Fracisco and fashion history, so I love keeping up with them!

Thanks for stopping by!

‘Tis the season for a fun, holiday sweater! I have never done the ugly sweater thing, but I decided to be festive without going too far. I love this sweater because it has a bold design without being too crazy or ugly. Love that!

I wore this Christmas sweater on Thanksgiving, and to a recent holiday party. I plan to wear it to more holiday parties and events as well as on Christmas day. It’s perfect for events!

Now, let’s chat about these barrel jeans! I was so scared of this trend! As someone on the shorter side, these types of jeans normally swallow me whole. Thankfully, these barrel jeans come in lengths! I was able to get the right length for my 5’4″ frame and they fit perfectly. Now I can rock a trend I thought I would never be able to touch.

So, if you are looking for a holiday sweater that isn’t too wild, you will love this one! Also, if you want to rock the barrel jeans trend, this is the pair for your petite, regular or tall height! Love that!

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season. Stay tuned for more from the holiday season!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
