Dress weather time

Dress weather: lipstick / spring nail polish / tote bag / golden earrings /dress (old, see similar below) / boots (old, also love this pair) /

Dress weather is here! I love wearing dresses with boots as we move from winter into spring. Then, as the weather warms up, I can switch up my footwear from closed toe shoes and then move into sandals. Love that!

I recently wore this dress and my go-to black boots to an event. It is always nice to have a go-to dress in your closet for events. I have had this dress for a few years, and it still works perfectly as my go-to dress for various events. The brand makes fabulous, high-quality dresses which last for years, so here are a few of my favorite they currently have in stock. I hope to add another one to my collection. Love!

Belted tote bags are hot this year! This classic tote style is the perfect investment handbag. Even when they are not on trend, they are relevant since the style is timeless. I highly recommend investing in one if you haven’t already!

Thanks for stopping by!

Windy day in Santa Barbara

wearing: pink scarf / pink earrings / blue jacket / black tee / jeans (old, also love this pair) / spring nail polish / handbag / sneakers /

We recently took a quick weekend trip to socal and stopped overnight in Santa Barbara. Man, it was windy! Those Santa Ana winds are unforgiving! This was the best photo I could get! When I took a picture with my husband, my hair was flying straight up into the air. It looked like my finger was in a light socket. It was crazy! haha

Downtown Santa Barbara is filled with shops and places to eat. We wandered around and went out to the pier for a few family photos, which were very windblown. For dinner, we enjoyed a beautiful meal at Convivo.

Convivo is an Italian restaurant near the beach. We ate outside and were perfectly protected from the wind. From our table, we were able to watch the sunset. I highly recommend this restaurant! Watch for timing when booking your reservation so you can be there when the sun sets. It’s highly worth it!

We all enjoyed our meals and ordered dessert; of course! This meal was the highlight of our quick overnight stay in Santa Barbara. Loved it!

Hopefully when you visit, it won’t be so windy!

Thanks for stopping by!

BAF Weekly IT List

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: lightweight jacket / Dior spring nail polish / Chanel spring nail polish / caramel top handle bag / boxy bag / pink earrings / black hobo bag / black belted tote / slouchy bucket bag / sneakers /

Can you believe it is already the last day of January? Is this year flying by already, or is it my imagination? Wow!

As we move into February, we can expect some spring days to start peeking through, cherry blossoms, and signs of the cold winter coming to an end. Love that! This means a lightweight jacket will be handy as well as comfortable street sneakers instead of boots.

The new year is also bringing us fabulous anonymous handbags which are reasonably priced, and pastels for the new spring season. Love that! In addition to pastels, watch for shades of mocha and lucky red.

Stay tuned for spring coverage as move into February!

Thanks for stopping by!
