It’s Halloween season! While some people get wild with their nails when it comes to Halloween, I tend to err on the side of understated.

I like a beautiful orange or sleek black for my nails when it comes to Halloween. Since bright orange isn’t my thing, this pinkish-orange from Hermes is perfect. I love how it’s a subtle orange which is both perfect for fall and understated enough to suit my taste. When it comes to black, this chic black nail polish from Dior’s fall 2025 collection is ultimate perfection. It does not streak and it applies smoothly in two coats. I love the high shine on it! This is really the perfect black nail polish for the Halloween season, as well as during the fall season.

So, if you are like me and would like to be in the Halloween spirit without highly complicated nails, then one of these two colors is for you! I am not sure which one I will wear, but it will be one of these two!

Thanks for stopping by, and have a fun Halloween!

It finally feels like fall! I have been living in this long sleeve stripe tee this season. It is perfect to wear everyday without a jacket. Once the weather cools down even more, it can easily be topped with a jacket or coat. Love!

The anonymous handbag is still going strong! Continue to invest in beautiful, high-quality handbags. The spring 2026 runways showed us that logos are still out, so keep investing in timeless beauty!

Dior has released their holiday nail polish, and it’s beautiful! If you missed my review, you can check it out here.

Casual fall day in San Jose Japantown

Life has been on the stressful side lately, so I decided to pre-order some Chichi Dango and enjoy a meal in San Jose’s Japantown. Have you heard of Shuei-Do in San Jose? They are famous for their soft and delicious Chichi Dango. They make it fresh daily Thursday through Sunday. The flavors are seasonal, and since they get busy, it is best to pre-order what you want a couple days in advance. I pre-ordered raspberry and mango. They were so good! Raspberry is my favorite.

After picking up our treats, we walked around and then enjoyed lunch at Okayama Sushi. Normally I would order sushi, but I was in the mood for tendon and gyoza. It was so yummy! Highly recommend!

Thankfully we are starting to get a small amount of fall weather. I was able to wear jeans and a long sleeve tee. It was perfect! I love this cooler weather.

So, if you are local, I recommend picking up some Chichi Dango and then enjoying a nice meal in San Jose’s Japantown. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!
