In any given season, I have a go-to outfit. This fall season, my go-to outfit has become this striped sweater and jeans! I love how they look together, and I also love how this handbag contrasts the ensemble.

I have been wearing this outfit often, so I snapped a photo on my last trip to Valley Fair to window shop with my mom and also enjoy some delicious udon. If you are local, have you tried Marugame Udon yet? They have two locations, one in Cupertino and one in Valley Fair.

When Marugame Udon first opened at Valley Fair, the line was really long-I mean REALLY long! I knew I wanted to try the Udon, but the line seemed longer than the one at Ramen Nagi, so I kept going back to the line I knew how to navigate at Ramen Nagi. Thankfully, my mom spotted Marugame Udon and instantly suggested we go there, she was even willing to wait in line! Love!

The line moved really fast. I didn’t realize the restaurant was cafeteria style, where you are given a bowl of base udon on a tray, and you can add to it down the line. So, the line is deceiving! You don’t have to wait for a table, it is a quick line for ordering. I wish I had known that sooner! haha

We ended up eating lunch quickly, and we really enjoyed it! I had the BK Udon and I added a soft-boiled egg, tempura, and a potato vegetable croquet. Yum! I would definitely order the same combo again. My only complaint was my egg was cold, as if it just came out of the refrigerator. Other than that, the food was delicious! Again, YUM!

So, if you are local, I highly recommend Marugame Udon. It is delicious!

Wearing: silver hoop earrings / printed tee c/o Have Need Want Luxury (Bay Area Designer!) / silver bracelet / gold nail polish / black belt / jeans (old, similar here) / satchel / black boots /

How much fun is this tee! My friend Laura from Have Need Want, and Have Need Want Luxury, has designed a fun line of tee-shirts, and I am here for them!

The collection features several light-hearted sayings, and they are available in multiple colors. Love that!

These tees are super fun to pair with jeans, shorts, a denim skirt, and any casual bottom to create a fun, daytime look. In addition to styling these tees ourselves, they will make fabulous gifts this upcoming holiday season! Love!

I am having fun wearing this tee for daily activities. People are quick to stop me and pay me a compliment! It’s so much fun! Since I am a huge fan of designer handbags, I went with this fabulous tee which lists some of the designers I love. In addition, I did take high school French, so there’s that. haha

Since this tee lists a few fabulous designers, I decided to pair mine with a comfortable pair of straight leg jeans and my favorite Givenchy handbag. I mean, it is called out in the tee, so I had to pair them together!

In addition to these fun, printed tee’s, Laura’s handbag resale shop is booming! Check it out HaveNeedWantLuxury.com. She has a ton of fabulous bags in stock! Love!

In case you are new here, I met Laura close to ten years ago at fashion week while catching a cab to the Zimmerman fashion show. Once we started talking, we realized we were both from the same area! We have been friends ever since! Love!

Hopefully you love her printed tees as much as I do. I love wearing mine!
