Earlier this month we enjoyed a day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It is always fun to go in the winter because the boardwalk is decorated for the holiday season, and it is a lot less crowded than during the summer months. The only drawback is that half of the rides are closed, but we had fun and filled up our day anyway!

The weather was mild and I was able to wear a long sleeve tee with a scarf and leave my sweatshirt in the car. These sneakers were comfy and helped me last throughout the day; and keep up with my kids! haha

We enjoyed the mini golf, which is where this cute little turtle was located. Of course, we indulged in boardwalk food and went on the bumper cars. Fun!

If you are looking for a great pair of wide leg jeans, these are on sale! They also come in standard sizing, plus sizes, petite, and tall sizes. Love that! I am wearing petite.

In case you are local, I highly recommend heading to the boardwalk before the summer crowds! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Casual and neutral in the new year

Mixing neutrals is my current go-to in the new year. I am loving all the shades of Mocha Mousse and how easy it is to mix them together with other neutral hues. This cozy sweater and scarf are perfect for the winter season, and my comfy wide leg jeans work with anything! I mean, they are jeans, so duh. haha

I recently wore this outfit for brunch at RH Rooftop Restaurant in Palo Alto. The RH Rooftop is located on the top floor of Restoration Hardware at Stanford Shopping Center, and it is soooooooo pretty! Everything is beautiful from the tables to the light fixtures to the room set-up and of course, the rooftop view! Love!

We enjoyed a variety of food including pancakes, eggs, sausages, and my son had a chicken sandwich. Yum! My only complaint is that the food took a full hour, so we were very hungry! So, if you go, make sure you aren’t already starving, because the food is very slow. Other than that, they food was delicious, service excellent, and loved the decor.

This neutral outfit is my go-to this winter season, and I plan to wear it often.

Thanks for stopping by!

Not every day is a runway. There are days when we just want to be comfortable as we run around town doing errands, meeting friends for coffee and taking walks. This soft sweatsuit is perfect for those days. I love the high-quality fabric, and chic yet casual vibe.

So, if you are looking for something to wear on casual days, or you just want to wear something soft, this is the outfit inspo we all need. Love it!

This would also make a comfortable travel outfit. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more in the new year!
