Raise your hand if you love wearing booties in the fall, but sometimes shy away from them because they aren’t that comfortable? My hand is so far up!! I love wearing booties, but if I know I have a lot of walking and/or standing to do that day, I tend to reach for a comfortable pair of sneakers.

Jambu has solved that problem! Instead of looking like I am heading out to the gym in sneakers, I can slip into these fabulous new booties by Jambu and look chic while running through my busy day. They are as comfortable as a walking shoe, without looking like a comfort shoe. Love that!

These chic booties by Jambu are classic black, and offer hot-off-the-runway styling. The mirco-studs combined with the understated scalloped edges, give the boots an edgy-chic look which is perfect for both urban streets and laid-back suburban life.

In addition to fabulous style, I love the fact that these boots have memory foam inside! It helps them mold to my feet and offer a comfort level which can’t be beat. The rubber sole is great this time of year too since it’s our rainy season here in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Love!

I love pairing my Jambu Rimini booties with jeans or leggings. On warmer days, they look really cute paired with a dress or skirt. These booties are so versatile! I can wear them with anything. They will be great for travel since they can be paired with so many different types of outfits; and because you can walk for miles and miles in them! OK that’s it! Time to plan my next vacation so I can pack these booties! Where shall I go?

The entire fall collection from Jambu offers a combination of function and style. They have the most comfortable booties for women! You can check out all the new arrivals from Jambu online here, and the entire collection online at Jambu.com Be sure to use discount code BAYAREA18 now through Oct. 31, 2018 to save 15% off your purchase!

Fall 2018 trends: menswear blazers

fall 2018 trends menswear blazers from top left: blue double breasted blazer / yellow plaid blazer (quick; what movie does this remind you of?) / black and white plaid blazer  / navy striped blazer (under $150!) / animal print blazer / orange animal print blazer /

One of the continuing trends from last year is the menswear inspired trend. Blazers were huge during the fall 2017 season, and they have proven to be a huge trend again this fall 2018 season. If you didn’t jump on the menswear inspired blazer trend last year, this might be a good time to jump right in! Blazers are a great, lightweight option for outerwear this season!

Blazers can be worn with everything from jeans, to dressy trousers. They are also a great topper for a little black dress! The fun thing about menswear inspired blazers is that if you buy one as part of a suit, then you have a skirt or pair of pants you can mix and match into your wardrobe too. Love that!

So, have you noticed an uptick in “Clueless” fashion references online lately? Well, I almost choked on my tea when I spotted this yellow plaid blazer for fall 2018. It screams “Clueless” and it also has a matching mini skirt and pants! Mmmmm, where did the inspiration for that outfit come from? Thought to ponder . . .

Here is the movie inspired look!

What is Athleisure

Have you ever asked yourself, what is athleisure? It’s a new word that has been kicked around now for the past several years. Athleisure is a style of dressing which addresses the modern dilemma of needing to look appropriate when running from the gym, to the supermarket, to a meeting at a coffee shop, and then off to your child’s school to start taxiing he or she around for activities.

Athleisure has become a huge part of my personal style over the past ten years. I have three kids, a job, and I am active in the community. Between my work, volunteer work, and family, it’s hard to find time to change my outfit multiple times per day; plus, I like to be comfortable. I’m so thankful for adidas clothing and accessories. They are so comfortable, and always appropriate for my busy lifestyle!

It’s amazing how day-to-day style has evolved in the new millennium. When people wore casual clothing before the new millennium, they still looked fairly dressed up by today’s standards. A casual look on a busy day, such as the ones I live, would have included jeans, high heel boots, a statement top, and a structured jacket. While this sounds like a cute, casual look, it’s not that comfortable, and you can’t wear it to the gym! That type of outfit requires extra time in your day to change for a workout, and the structured jacket leaves little in the way of comfort when you’re extremely busy. I am so thankful athleisure has become more than a trend; it’s a classic style of dressing in the modern world. Love that!

Adidas has the best clothing and accessories for a comfortable and chic athleisure look. I love their collection of leggings, track pants, and active pants. They have a variety of tops to choose from; so, you can look gym-serious, or urban casual-it’s your choice! Of course, adidas also has a variety of jackets and sweatshirts to keep you cozy on chilly days. They are so soft and extremely high quality; so, you can wash and wear them often without worrying about adidas clothing wearing out. For my busy lifestyle, that is a must!

You can find the perfect athleisure look online at adidas.com.
