wearing: silver and white earrings / lipstick / black 3/4 sleeve tee (old, similar here)  / blue scarf / spring nail polish / Gucci bag / pleated skirt (under $100) / black suede knee boots /

OK, so I didn’t’ get a lot of twirling photos, but in the first one, you can sort-of see me twirling into spring right?? Seriously, this skirt is fun to twirl in, and it has been so versatile this winter season. It is also a piece which can go from winter into spring. For spring, all I need to do is lighten up my top, and slip into sandals or slides; and voila! It will be perfect in the spring season, love that!

The weather this month has been swinging in all directions. We have one day with 30-50 degree temps, then the next will day will be 50-70 degrees! It’s so crazy! I wore this outfit on a day when temperatures reached the high 60’s, and it felt so nice outside! I paired my favorite winter skirt with a 3/4 sleeve tee I had in my closet from last year. To fend off the morning chill, I wore this blue scarf; which I removed later on in the day when it warmed up. It is a great winter into spring outfit. Love!

To get into the spring spirit, my daughter snapped these photos in front of a living wall at Valley Fair mall. It was just starting to get a few flowers. I cannot wait to see how pretty it gets in the spring season!

The groundhog predicted an early spring a few days ago, and I know he is right! We are already getting tree blossoms, and a few bushes in my yard are starting to bloom. I have had enough of cold weather, and I am definitely ready for the warmer, spring season!

My winter street style and a cross body phone case

I recently met my friend Dawn for brunch in downtown Los Gatos, and it was freeeee-eeeeeeezing outside! I bundled up in this warm, winter coat and threw it over my go-to knit turtleneck, and this soft, cozy pair of jeans. It worked out really well by keeping me warm!

It was also the first time I wore my new Gucci phone case, which was fun, since it is a hot handbag this year. You know I love to rock the new handbag trends! I found the cross body didn’t feel right over my coat. It would also have been clumsy to have to take off the bag if I wanted to remove my coat. So, I wore the bag underneath my coat; which is actually a great way to fend off pick-pocketers when walking around the city. Of course, I was in Los Gatos, not a big pick-pocket location, but still a good habit to keep up!

We ate at Southern Kitchen, which is on East Main St. in downtown Los Gatos. It’s a great place to grab brunch, or lunch, if you are in the area. We have met there are few times already for brunch! Yumm!!

New Year, new handbag trends for spring 2020! There is a new small, cross body bag in town, and it’s not a silhouette we have seen in quite some time. Enter, the cross body phone case for spring 2020.

You might be thinking, “I have way more than a phone to carry around when I want to be hands-free!” Well, that’s not a problem here; as long as you don’t mind carrying light. This north/south mini bag offers room for a phone, a small wallet, a set of keys, and a lipstick. You can also forego the wallet altogether, and use the built-in credit card slots to free up room in the bag. I am more of a wallet person,  so I prefer squeezing in my mini-wallet, but it is nice to have options!

I won’t lie, this is a tight handbag. As a mom, it does not leave me any room for when my daughter hands me her phone to carry, or my son asks me carry a baggie of goldfish crackers. That being said, this is a great mini bag for days when I want to be hands-free, and lighten my load.

There are several handbag trends for the upcoming spring 2020 season, but the cross body phone case is one which is new. It isn’t continuing from another season. This trend will replace your larger, east/west cross body bag from years past.

I chose the Gucci phone case as my bag for rocking the mini cross body bag trend because it offers a classic, vintage vibe. I am always feeling the 1970s, so this bag evokes a vibe which works well with my current ’70’s mood. Love that!
