Twirling back into life

wearing: sunglasses / large gold hoops / black cut out top / G buckle belt / bracelets (local designer!) / green pleated skirt / fall nail polish / pouch clutch / chain boots /

Twirling back into life, and it feels so good! I wore this outfit a couple weeks ago to the preview party for Beyond Van Gogh. It was absolutely amazing dressing up, and going out to an event with my husband; without the kids. We haven’t had this opportunity since before the shut down. We felt so free!

If you are from another state besides California, you might be wondering why we are just getting out now. Here in California, we have had a lot of events and businesses shut down during the pandemic. It is just in the last few months that things have really begun to reopen. It took us awhile to acclimate to getting our schedule back to normal, and then adding fun events!

We loved dressing up, and going out. It was definitely a lot of fun. Not only did we love the event, it felt good to go out dressed up, without the kids. I was definitely twirling for joy!

This skirt is great for dressing up. It is easy to pair with a top on warmer fall days. It will also be easy to pair with a long sleeve top, or sweater, when the weather cools down.

Of course, when I know I will be walking, or on my feet, I love opting for boots instead of high heels. They are really comfortable and wearing socks adds some cushioning. Love that!

BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: green pleated skirt / small black bag (IT bag under $300) / black structured hobo (hot IT bag!) / black tee / G buckle belt / fall nail polish / water resistant boots / grey satchel / lug sole loafers /

I feel like everywhere I turn, I see outfits from the 1990s! There are baggy jeans, body conscious tops, heavy black footwear, and the classic structured hobo from the era. It is almost as if I am reliving the last decade of the twentieth century.

Of course, that was the decade of my young adult life, so the fashion and style I see on the streets brings back so many memories! It really is fun to see. This is a great trend to take advantage of since the footwear from that era is rather comfortable. Why hurt your feet when you can wear comfy lug sole boots and loafers? Love that!

Also, loose fitting, and classic cut jeans, are comfortable too. Add a fashionable top and a structured hobo bag, and you’re good to go! It’s an easy style to rock this season, and everything mixes and matches. Love!

Think trendy jeans, black top, lug sole footwear, and a black structured hobo bag. Easy, chic, and comfy. Perfection!

Fall 2021 hair care

Fall 2021 hair care from left: shampoo / conditioner / oil treatment / hair dryer / shampoo in bottom photo /

My fall 2021 hair care routine is fairly simple. My hair is dry from the summer, so I am looking for moisture and anti-breakage help. This shampoo and conditioner pair are fortified to help stop breakage and strengthen my hair. The shampoo pictured below, is also one that I use. It is perfect for my dry hair and helps add moisture. Love that!

Since my hair is dry from being out in the sun, wind, and swimming pool, my old stand-by of Moroccan Oil is ideal for adding moisture back into my hair; as well as controlling it! This oil smooths down my unruly hair.

One thing people don’t often think about is their hair dryer. Not all hair dryers are equal! You might be looking at my choice of the Dyson hair dryer and thinking it is overpriced-but I can assure you, it is worth every penny. This hair dryer does not dry out hair. It does not damage hair. It is soft and gentle, leaving my hair healthy. Even when I travel, I take it with me! I no longer use the hotel hair dryer. I can’t go back. This hair dryer is the holy grail of hair care, and I highly recommend investing in one!
