Now that things are opening up, and we have more places to go, jewelry is starting to be something we are all reaching for more often. Thankfully, spring 2021 is offering us some fun jewelry trends to play with!

The spring season is all about bright and cheery fashion. This includes bold jewelry, and statement making pieces. When I say statement, I don’t mean giant pieces of jewelry, just something unique enough to garner the attention of another fashionista like you.

The top jewelry trends for spring 2021 include:

  • Pearls
  • Bracelet stacks
  • Layered necklaces
  • Statement pendants
  • Statement rings
  • Hoop earrings

Pearls are really hot this spring season. With the fresh white trend, pearls are a natural jewelry trend as they are often soft white! You can complete your all-white look with pearls, or compliment a brightly colored ensemble with pearls. This trend is quite versatile as you can go for classic pearls, or something a little bit more trendy. The only rule with the pearl trend is that your pearls are white; not colored or Tahitian. You can store your Tahitian pearls this season, they will make a comeback soon!

Bracelet stacks are back! Pair your chain bracelets with gemstone bracelets and leather wraps to make the perfect wrist statement! Always remember, three bracelets makes the perfect stack.

Layered necklaces have been a trend for many seasons, so you can continue layering your necklaces as you have been doing. If you haven’t layered yet, what are you waiting for? This is a great way to rock necklaces from your jewelry box which are collecting dust. If you don’t have any, but want to wear the trend, you cans snap up a pre-layered necklace. The pre-layered ones are great because they are less likely to tangle. Love that!

The ’80’s and ’90’s are hot decades in fashion right now, so it is no wonder that hoops are hotter than hot right now! Although considered a classic earring style, hoops are more prominent this season as they seem to just play well with puff sleeves. If you don’t own hoops, invest in a pair this season! There are large hoops, medium hoops, small hoops, twisted hoops, plain hoops; lots of hoops! Pick a pair you love, and rock them throughout 2021.

Lastly, statement pendants, and rings, are hot this year. Look for unique rings, and pendants, which will start a conversation. After all, aren’t we all starved for in-person conversations? This is a great way to get back into being social after the lockdowns! Love that!

BAF Weekly IT List

spring 2021 street style

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: straw tote bag (IT bag under $500) / spring lipstick / spring nail polish / lightweight spring jacket / spring jeans / running shoes / black slides with sculpted heel / grey satchel /

Are you enjoying spring weather yet? We were earlier last week, and then we had a cold rain storm blow through the Bay Area. Hopefully next week is a little bit warmer. At least we have beautiful blossoms on our trees; which is a very spring thing!

Can I give these running shoes a shout-out? I have been working out in them for three weeks, and now and I am in love! They are super stable and comfortable. The shock absorption is beyond fabulous, and my feet are so happy! I use them for cardio workouts, strength training, walking, and jogging. If you are in the market for a new workout shoe, these running shoes are amazing! They come in a ton of colors too, so if grey isn’t your thing, check them out, you may find a color you like better.

Spring handbags, particularly IT bags, are hot right now! Nail polish and lipstick are also hot spring items right now. If it’s too cold for spring attire where you live, beauty products, shoes, and handbags are a great way to rock spring, and brighten up a grey day. Love that!

SALE ALERT! If you are a Chanel fan like me, then chances are, you are also a Karl Lagerfeld fan! Well, Karl Lagerfeld’s brand has a promotion going on right now at karl.com where if you spend $100+ you can enjoy 20% off your purchase. If you spend $175+ then you can enjoy 25% off your purchase! Love that! All you need is coupon code PARIS and you are all set!

Here are a few of my favorite new arrivals from Karl Lagerfeld’s website:

I love this wrap jacket for spring. It needs ironing from time to time, but it’s worth the effort. The jacket is super flattering, and just the right weight for spring weather. It will also come in handy this summer in the evenings, as well as on foggy late spring, and summer days. Also, ivory and white everything is a hot street trend right now. If white shoes, handbags and belts are a little scary for you, like they are for me, a white jacket is a great way to rock the neutral white trend.

Alum Rock Park hiking trails

Alum Rock Park is a large outdoor recreation area in San Jose, California. This park is the oldest municipal park in San Jose, dating back to 1872. It’s located on the eastern side of San Jose and offers playgrounds, picnic areas, multiple hiking trails, and a visitor center with camps and activities where visitors can learn more about the wildlife in the area. In addition to being a great place for outdoor fun and education, there is a historic aspect to the park!

The Alum Rock Mineral Springs were very popular in the early 1900s. While the mineral springs are now defunct, the remnants can be found along the hiking trails and provide a beautiful addition to the natural surroundings.

The hiking trails in Alum Rock are not too difficult, and are perfect for families. We enjoyed hiking through the park and occasionally stopping to take pictures of each other with the ruins from the springs. It was extremely relaxing and beautiful. I cannot believe we hadn’t visited Alum Rock Park before! It’s perfect for a day of fun, exercise, and a little education.

If you are local to the Bay Area, I highly recommend visiting Alum Rock Park; especially if you have children. The park gets very busy, so I recommend going early; before 9am. This way you can enjoy the park stress-free. Love that!

Have you been to Alum Rock Park before? What are your favorite spots? We parked by the visitor center and went on the hiking trails from there.

Thanks for stopping by!
