Summer is in full swing! To celebrate the freedom of summer vacation, I took my kids out for dim sum during the week at Sino Santana Row. They have such good dim sum! My kids are finally at an age where they are trying more varieties of foods, so it was really fun to just order a bunch of dim sum for the table and see what they would eat. All three of them were really good about tasting everything, and they even found some new foods to love! Yay!

On our way to eat dim sum, my ten-year-old daughter and nine-year-old son took turns snapping pictures of my outfit. They are getting pretty good with the DSLR! My ten-year-old starts sixth grade in the fall, and her elective is going to be photography. I’m so excited she enjoys it. She is really creative, so it is fun to see her explore all avenues of art. She is already a fabulous painter, and she also loves to design clothing. I can’t wait to see how she interprets nature and people through the glass lens.

This outfit was perfect for the moderate summer day when we ate out last week. The blouse is nice and breezy, and the wide leg jeans offer a breezy silhouette too; so I didn’t get hot! Love! I’m looking forward to wearing this blouse often during the summer months. The rainbow pom pom details are so cute, and it will look nice with cut-offs on hot days too.

Are you indulging this summer on slow days?

Thank you for stopping by!

Wide leg jeans and ruffles

How fun are these wide leg jeans! I finally bit the bullet and purchased a pair of wide leg, cropped jeans for the summer season as an alternate to my beloved boyfriend jeans. It seemed like it was about time to have an alternate pair of jeans, since I have all but abandoned my skinny jeans.

These cropped wide leg jeans are super comfortable; and fun! I love the bleached design at the crop. Since I am 5’4″, the regular size hits me at the ankles. Maybe I should have ordered petite? If I was taller, it would hit me a couple inches above the ankles; which I think looks amazing. If there were not details on the edges of the jeans, I would cut them to be a little bit higher.

I wore this outfit last weekend for a sushi dinner with my family. it was our second time eating at Sushi Confidential in downtown Campbell. The food was really good, so we had a lot of fun! If you are local, be sure to check it out!

My nine-year-old son took these photos. He was so cute trying to work my dslr camera! It is fun teaching him photography. I love how my two younger kids love to learn photography.

What are your thoughts on the cropped wide leg jeans trend? Is this a trend you plan to wear?

Thanks for stopping by!

One of the big trends off the New York Fashion Week runways is denim. Denim for spring 2017 is a hot trend this year. We are seeing denim in dark, medium, and light washes. The American fabric, originally inspired from sailcloth made in Genoa, Italy, is being found on every type of clothing and accessory piece you can think of for spring 2017. This is the fabric of the season!

Since I am already a huge denim fan, I have had my eyes wide open when shopping for spring 2017. When I spotted this top by TopShop, I knew it had to be mine! I love the funky buckle details, and shirred hemlines. It is a classic top, reminiscent of 1960s silhouettes. This makes it modest yet eye-catching. Love that!

I love how it looks when I wear it with black skinny jeans. As the weather gets warmer, it will be cute to pair it with a pencil skirt.

What are your thoughts on the denim trend for spring 2017?
