The fall colors are here! If you live somewhere other than the San Francisco Bay Area, you might be wondering why I am excited about fall colors. After all, there is a chance you already enjoyed them a month ago, depending on where you live. Here in California, we are getting our fall colors now, and they are really pretty this year!

Thankfully the rain came after the trees started to turn; leaving the leaves on the trees in vibrant colors. The tree behind me will eventually have more color, giving it an ombre look. It’s a beautiful tree I enjoy watching every year. (please excuse my windblown hair-there was a mild storm going on when we snapped these pics)

The weather right now is perfect for transitioning from the fall season into the holiday season. While this look is classic and transcends season, it is a holiday outfit for me since it is new. I love this dress since I can wear it with boots for casual days, or high heels on casual days.

This year, we are living through a pandemic and sadly, a large portion of our economy is shut down. That being said, there are still a few things we can get dressed up for; as long as we pair our outfits with a fabulous mask. Stay safe!

We are allowed to eat outside at our local restaurants, enjoy outdoor activities such as fitness, hiking, and exploring, and lastly, we can shop in-store! This is fortunate since the holidays are coming up!

This dress, soft sweater, and these sparkling earrings are from The Perfect Provenance in Tiburon. It’s a fabulous shop where you find everything from fashion to home decor to holiday gifts! If you missed my previous post about the shop, be sure to check it out! Everything in-store is also online, so if you aren’t local, you can still enjoy holiday gift shopping there! Love that!

I’m looking forward to wearing this dress several different ways this season, as well as for several seasons to come. It has a classic look which transcends trends, and the flattering cut motivates me to wear it often. Love! You can find it online at ThePerfectProveance.com.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a fabulous holiday season!

The weekly IT list is here! This week, we are all still loving fall style, but we are gravitating towards cozier pieces as the weather moves more towards a wintery pattern. This cashmere sweater is both classic and cozy; perfect for the entire cool weather season as well as for many years to come. It’s a great investment piece!! I love mine and find myself reaching for it often. I am sure you will spot me wearing it on the blog soon!

This cork handbag is soft, classic, and sustainable! I love products which are gentle on the environment and offer both sustainability and vegan materials. If you haven’t checked it out yet, please do! This cute little bag comes with a detachable chain strap, making it two bags for the price of one! Love that!

Of course, none of us can get enough of this cozy and casual cardigan sweater. It’s a great sweater to wear around the house and on casual days. Check it out in my holiday capsule wardrobe!

Everyone needs cozy slippers right now, and these are just right. At under $75, they also make a great holiday gift! Love!

Everything that glitters is definitely gold! This holiday nail polish is extremely popular, making gold polish the IT nail color of the season. Loving it!

Lastly, we all need a fabulous pair of black booties for the fall, holiday, and winter seasons. This pair is both comfortable and high quality. Plus, it’s under $200, love!

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: blue sweater (avl in other colors) / holiday nail polish / gold holiday nail polish / charcoal cardigan / black block heel boots / grey handbag /

Welcome to the BAF Weekly IT List! This week the weather continues to cool down, causing us all to need some cozier clothing in our closets. This blue sweater, and this soft cardigan, are perfect for staying cozy and comfortable in these cooler temps.

Holiday nails are all the rage right now! This deep purple and sparkling gold are perfect for any mood this holiday season. Try gold nails for a festive vibe, or deep purple for a more traditional-with-an-edge look.

The square toe is hotter than hot right now, and these comfortable, block heel booties have the perfect one. Plus, they are priced under $200. Love that!

Givenchy’s soft version of their classic Antigona is proving to be a hit! Santa promised me he would bring me one for Christmas this year. Fingers crossed I see it under the tree on December 25!
