Casual in the city

wearing: statement earrings / blue tee / black belt / wide leg jeans / nail polish / bracelets / handbag / sneakers /

San Francisco has beautiful weather in the summer months. It’s not too hot, and not too cold. So, this is the time of year when the city holds street fairs in various neighborhoods. When I lived in the city, I used to attend the various street fairs all the time. Now that I live in the south bay, we only attend a street fair in the city once or twice during the summer.

Recently we drove up to the city to attend the North Beach street fair. Can you believe we have never taken the kids to the North Beach street fair? How did that happen?? I’m so glad we finally did! Especially since two of my kids are now in college! Yikes! It was a really fun day looking at the work of local artisans, eating food, and watching entertainment.

We enjoyed these acrobats! I’m a little short, so my photos aren’t very good. There were a lot of tall people blocking my view. haha

After the acrobats performed, we walked around a little bit and then stopped into Mona Lisa for lunch. I enjoyed the Risotto of the Day and we shared Bruschetta for an appetizer.

After lunch, we watched more entertainment and then walked into Chinatown where we picked up boba and mooncakes. Yum!

I was super comfortable in these wide leg jeans and oversized tee. This outfit reminded me of the baggy looks we used to wear in the 1990s. I think I prefer the feel of baggy, wide leg jeans over skinny jeans. But, the verdict is out as to which style is more flattering. That being said, I do enjoy comfort! Ha!

The edges of these baggy jeans are great for those of us on the shorter side. I was able to cut them to my height, and to be frank, I might cut another half inch off the bottom. They still seemed a little bit long. Thankfully, cutting the hem is a lot of easier than shortening the hem! So, if you are 5’4″ and under, and you have been wondering if you can rock the wide leg denim trend; you can! These jeans work for us! Love!

So, if you haven’t gone to a street fair in the city for awhile, check one out! It’s a great way to support local businesses and artisans as well as get outside and enjoy some live entertainment! Love that!

Thanks for stopping by!

Walk along the waterfront in NYC

wearing: statement earrings / black top / black belt / flare jeans / spring nail polish / yellow pouch / sneakers /

How pretty is this view of New York? Although quite windy, we found a clear and mild day to walk along the waterfront in New York City and enjoy the view.

The waterfront was vibrant with people playing tennis, jogging, socializing, and relaxing. It was our last day in New York, and it turned out to be the perfect activity to wrap up our trip. Nothing beats a relaxing walk by the water with decent weather and a fabulous view.

When you visit New York, or any big city, it is nice to take some time to slow down, walk around, and take in the sights. It really is a nice way to drink in the beauty of the city you are visiting.

Well, not too much to say, I think the photos show how pretty the walk was! Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!

There’s nothing like an oversized sweater on a cool, crisp day to stay cozy and warm. I love this one, which happens to be on sale right now, and available in other colors. Love that!

I paired this cozy sweater with my new Mulberry mini Zipped Bayswater. This classic handbag is roomy and chic. I am in love! If this is the first time you are seeing this bag, be sure to check out my review which I posted last week.

This was the perfect, cozy and casual look for a delicious lunch at Steamer’s Grillhouse in Los Gatos. One of my favorite dishes there is the Steamer’s Linguini which is pictured above.

I highly recommend this yummy dish! Of course, everything on the menu is good. You cannot go wrong with what you order! Steamer’s is a Los Gatos staple and has been around for years. They get busy on peak nights, so be sure to make a reservation.

Also, if you love cozy sweaters, this one is on sale. I am thinking of getting the grey one too!

I hope you are enjoying the holiday and winter seasons.
