Summer lunch and a new restaurant

wearing: sunglasses / statement earrings / black tee / summer nail polish / wide leg jeans (petite) / caramel top handle bag / black boots (old, also love this pair) /

It is always fun to meet up with my friend Dawn from Fashion Should be Fun. We met for lunch and decided to check out a new restaurant at Valley Fair for named Stick & Wok. It was really yummy!

It was the soft opening for Stick & Wok so they weren’t crowded because no one knows they are there yet! I hope by now, everyone knows they are there and will stop in for some yummy food! We really enjoyed the Sweet Corn and Chicken Soup, Vegan Mushroom Fried Rice with Truffle Oil, and the Pork and Scallion Pot Stickers. I highly recommend!

Stick & Wok is located on the second floor near the men’s Macy’s and next door to Ramen Nagi. The decor is modern and features cool posters of food. It’s clever and comfortable. Love that!

It was so much fun to enjoy a meal and talk with Dawn. I look forward to seeing her again and also visiting Stick & Wok again! So, if you are local, be sure to pop into Valley Fair and enjoy a meal at Stick & Wok. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Little black dress and a pop of green

wearing: statement earrings / black dress / golden necklace / green handbag / blue nail polish / black flats /

There is always an occasion for a little black dress. I love this little black dress since is machine washable and priced well under $100. I wore this outfit recently to Broadway San Jose and it was perfect for the evening.

When it comes to wearing black, it’s fun to add a pop of color through a handbag, jewelry or footwear. For me, I’m all about the handbag! I’m always looking for an excuse to wear my little green handbag!

Also, I would like to give these black flats a shoutout. They have arch support, so I can easily walk and stand in them despite my plantar fasciitis. Love that!

Chanel no. 19 edp review

pictured: Chanel no. 19 edp / pink nail polish /

Who doesn’t love a classic scent? I have owned Chanel no. 19 edp for several years now, and it is a classic floral eau de parfum which isn’t sticky or sweet; it’s a green floral.

Why is my bottle so full you ask? Well . . .I may own a few too many bottles of perfume, so it does not get sprayed very often; but I am trying to change that and wear it more often. I really do love the scent for days when I want a floral but not a floral fragrance which rivals a gourmand.

Chanel no. 19 edp mixes green galbanum, powdery iris, rose, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley and a white musk base. Since this is an eau de parfum formula, I find the fragrance lasts all day. Love that!

This is not a strong or overpowering scent. You can wear Chanel no. 19 edp to the office, the theater, and anywhere you are in tight quarters and want to smell nice but not offensive. I would describe it as an everyday perfume which can be worn in any season or weather. Love!

So, if you are looking for a daily eau de parfum, Chanel no. 19 edp is a perfect option!

Thanks for stopping by,

XOXO
