Life is casual this fall season, so my fall capsule wardrobe reflects an easygoing, casual season. This year we are seeing a continuation of timeless style, so keeping pieces classic and neutral is key for fall 2025. We are also seeing cardigan sweaters as a huge breakout trend; which is fabulous since they are a closet staple and timeless style.

In addition to neutrals, traditional autumn hues such as deep red, dark yellow, shades of green, ivory, winter white, and chocolate brown are trending for the fall 2025 season. Also look for bold buttons, statement sunglasses, and jeans without any holes or distressing. Think chic for fall.

This prompted me to put together a cozy yet simple capsule wardrobe for the fall 2025 season. Classic cut jeans, bold buttons on cardigans, cozy and classic sweaters, simple jewelry, and big sunglasses are perfect this fall season. I love this since the bigger the sunglasses, the happier I am.

4th of July outfit idea: USA Tee / red statement earrings / blue nail polish / denim shorts / straw tote (customizable) / blue and white stripe espadrilles /

The 4th of July is fast approaching, this is the perfect time to assemble your patriotic outfit for watching parades, attending BBQ’s and showing off your USA pride. Love that!

Chances are, you already own denim shorts, but if not, this pair is really cute and available in a couple different washes. These espadrilles are comfy and patriotic. Love those stripes!

Of course, blue nail polish is perfect at any time, especially when we are celebrating our country. This is my favorite bottle.

We all need a USA tee! This one comes in a few different color combos and style. This style is my favorite. Love it!

Japanese Friendship Garden San Jose

Did you know San Jose has a Japanese Friendship Garden? The best part? It’s free! Love that!

Nestled into Kelley Park and across from Excite Stadium, the Japanese Friendship Garden offers well maintained gardens, a calm pathway, and lots of Koi! The only drawback is that there is a problem with the large pond, so it has been drained for several years. Fingers crossed San Jose finds a way to fix it!

This is a fabulous place to go if you want an easy outdoor walk instead of a gym day, or you need a peaceful activity to relieve stress. If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, I highly recommend taking a moment to visit for a peaceful walk; just be prepared for the empty pond.

You can always make a day of it and also visit History San Jose as well as the Portuguese History Museum since they are all on the same, large block on Senter Road.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy this summer activity idea!

XOXO
