In any given season, I have a go-to outfit. This fall season, my go-to outfit has become this striped sweater and jeans! I love how they look together, and I also love how this handbag contrasts the ensemble.

I have been wearing this outfit often, so I snapped a photo on my last trip to Valley Fair to window shop with my mom and also enjoy some delicious udon. If you are local, have you tried Marugame Udon yet? They have two locations, one in Cupertino and one in Valley Fair.

When Marugame Udon first opened at Valley Fair, the line was really long-I mean REALLY long! I knew I wanted to try the Udon, but the line seemed longer than the one at Ramen Nagi, so I kept going back to the line I knew how to navigate at Ramen Nagi. Thankfully, my mom spotted Marugame Udon and instantly suggested we go there, she was even willing to wait in line! Love!

The line moved really fast. I didn’t realize the restaurant was cafeteria style, where you are given a bowl of base udon on a tray, and you can add to it down the line. So, the line is deceiving! You don’t have to wait for a table, it is a quick line for ordering. I wish I had known that sooner! haha

We ended up eating lunch quickly, and we really enjoyed it! I had the BK Udon and I added a soft-boiled egg, tempura, and a potato vegetable croquet. Yum! I would definitely order the same combo again. My only complaint was my egg was cold, as if it just came out of the refrigerator. Other than that, the food was delicious! Again, YUM!

So, if you are local, I highly recommend Marugame Udon. It is delicious!

New YouTube channel

Something new is here! I have decided to start a YouTube channel to help bring my handbag review articles to life! The channel is just getting started, so please be patient as I work hard to film videos and post them on a regular basis. In the meantime, please enjoy my welcome video and remember to subscribe!

Do you have any requests? Please comment on this video on YouTube and let me know which handbag, or handbags, you would like to see come to life on a video.

Don’t worry, the channel will not interfere with the blog. I will still be posting with continued frequency here at Bay Area Fashionista. Now, there will be two places to enjoy! Love that!

Thank you so much for your support!

You can find my YouTube channel at YouTube.com/@BayAreaFashionista.

BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: striped sweater / Chanel holiday nail polish / Dior holiday nail polish / printed tee / caramel top handle bag / black shoulder bag / golden hoops / silver bracelet / small black tote / Mary Jane shoes / hobo bag / black boots /

The fall weather has finally arrived, and holiday shopping is starting to happen! So far, we have beautiful nail colors from Chanel and Dior for the holiday season. This is a great way to start getting into the holiday spirit without walking around town in holiday themed sweaters and earrings that light up. (Those are for parties only btw)

In addition to holiday nails, this is a great time to continue to invest in timeless handbags, classic jewelry and cold weather essentials such as boots and sweaters. It’s cozy season! Love!

In case you are already looking for gifts, aren’t these tees fabulous?! They are designed by a local designer, Laura from Have Need Want, and they have really fun sayings on the front. My favorite is “I speak fluent French.” Here are a few of my favorites from her shop:
