Late summer casual

california casual street style san jose

Wearing: sunglasses / white drop earrings / fall lipstick / stripe tee (under $50) / black hobo bag / gemstone bracelets (local San Jose designer!) / fall nail polish / snake buckle belt / fall jeans / grey boat shoes /

Recognize this tee? It has been one of my favorite go-to tee’s of the season! It’s very soft and comfortable, plus, the puff sleeves make it right on trend. The runways were full of statement and puff sleeves, so this tee is fabulous for everyday wear. Love that!

I wore my favorite tee to go out to lunch with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun. My outfit combines some fall items with a few summer items for a transition from summer into fall look. Dawn did the same thing, and she looks fabulous! As you can see, street style here in California offers up an on-trend tee paired with destroyed jeans, in a fall color, and a fabulous IT bag.

Dawn and I met at Valley Fair mall to check out what’s coming in for fall, and also to enjoy a yummy lunch. We ate at King’s Fish House and enjoyed sushi, edamame, and soup. Love!

In addition to delicious food and checking out the new fall merchandise, Valley Fair had an Instagram-ready, vintage van set up outside the restaurant. Um, did they know we were coming? We were so excited! As you can tell, we used it as our backdrop for a few pictures. We made sure to stand “purse first” so you could see which IT bags are hot in Silicon Valley right now. Seriously, YSL and Prada are EVERYWHERE on the street here!

The highly anticipated Dior fall 2021 nail polish collection is here! If you have been bored by all the versions of neutral hues and reds designers have been popping out in the nail polish world during 2021, you are in luck! This is the nail polish collection you have been waiting for!

The past few seasons, designers have been giving us shades of red, brown, grey, and (yawn) putty. If you are like me, and you like to have a little fun on your nails, then you will love these fabulous new colors from Dior for the fall 2021 season. They are iridescent, autumn focused, and downright fabulous.

All three nail polish colors for fall 2021 from Dior include a traditional fall hue with bronze-gold undertones. Your nails will look different in various light. I love nail polish with movement.

I tested all three fall nail polish colors with one base coat, and two coats of color. As always, Dior nail polish is chip resistant, and does not streak. These are metallic polishes, not cream. So, without further ado, here are the three nail polish colors to wear now, from Dior, for fall 2021!

Dior nail polish fall 2021 | Dior Wild Wings

If you like fun and dark hues on your nails, Dior Wild Wings nail polish is your fall color. This is a deep berry shade with bronze-gold undertones. I can see this color working now through fall, and into the holiday season. Love!

Dior nail polish fall 2021 | Dior Night Bird

This is my favorite color from the fall 2021 nail polish collection! Dior Night Bird nail polish is an olive-green hue which screams fall. It is a traditional autumn hue with golden undertones that sparkle. I love it. You will see me in this color a lot this fall season!

Dior nail polish fall 2021 | Dior Early Bird

If you work in a professional environment, but want to stay away from traditional neutrals, this is your safest bet. Dior Early Bird nail polish is a light lilac with golden undertones which offers enough of an avant-garde vibe to give you a fun and fresh feel; without looking flashy at work. This is also a great fall nail polish for travel since it will match everything in the fall palette. I love this as a workhorse, everyday hue. It’s so pretty!

Well, there you have it! Dior’s fun and fabulous fall 2021 nail polish collection. I love all three of these colors, they will be fun to wear, and rotate on my nails. Which color is your favorite? Or, are you like me, and love them all?

BAF Weekly IT List

late summer street style trends

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: stripe tee (under $50) / Chanel fall nail polish / Dior pre-fall nail polish / Stripe handbag coverts to belt bag and cross body bag / snake buckle belt / foundation powder (love this!) / chain pouch / Gucci sneakers / convertible handbag (short strap or cross body) / linen joggers /

Can you believe we are halfway through August? Where did the summer vacation go? My kids are back in school, and we are all wearing summer clothing, while looking at fall clothing. The summer just flew by!

Despite it being the end of summer vacation, we are all still looking at lightweight clothing which can be worn in the late summer season, as well as the early fall season. After all, the first half of fall is just as hot as the middle of summer! These black linen joggers are a great, everyday pant, for warm weather. They are comfortable, and extremely lightweight. I live in my pair!

Also great on hot days, is this on trend tee with puff sleeves. It fits into both the summer and fall trends while offering lightweight comfort, and a fabulous price under $50. I live in mine!

Now that life is back to normal, convertible handbags are a huge must-have! Shoppers are seeking bags that can be worn multiple ways. This convertible black bag comes with two straps; one that be worn short, under the shoulder, and one that is cross body. Plus, it’s an IT bag under $300. Love that!

If you like a little bit of urban edge, this stripe convertible bag comes with a belt bag strap and a cross body strap. I wear mine cross body all the time, but it’s nice to have the belt bag option just in case. It’s very roomy, and adds spice to everyday outfits. Love!

If course, hot fall items such as nail polish, and chain bags, are easy to wear right now; despite the heat outside. They are a great way to update a summer wardrobe, without sacrificing comfort. Also hot right now, are staple IT items such as a fabulous belt, or these wildly popular sneakers. Love these too!
