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!

Warm fall day

We are finally starting to get some fall weather! Love! So, I have been able to pull out my long sleeve tees and pair them with jeans. A sign of cooler temps, love that!

This long sleeve tee has thick fabric which makes it perfect for cool days. It does not need a jacket right now! As we move towards winter, it will be perfect for pairing with a jacket or coat. Then, this long sleeve tee will move into early spring for those cool days! Love a piece which moves through seasons!

I wore this casual fall outfit for running errands in Los Gatos and enjoying brunch at Stacks in Campbell. It was comfortable and perfect for early fall weather. Plus, this tee was under $50, and these jeans are petite. Although this wash is from last year, the same jeans are available in new washes. I plan to snap up another pair in an updated wash! Love!

Sacramento trip day two

The second day of my Sacramento trip with Broadway San Jose was so amazing! If you missed day one, you can read it here.

We woke up and enjoyed breakfast, then headed straight to the SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center. The cast and crew were already buzzing around the venue preparing for the second evening’s performance of “Some Like it Hot.” A few members took some time out of their busy schedule to meet with us and fill us in on some inside info from the traveling Broadway show!

It was really fun to learn about the ins and outs of a traveling show and how much work it actually is! I am starting to think the cast and crew never sleep! They are either performing or preparing for the show all day long, six days per week. On the seventh day, they are busy traveling to the next show as well as packing and unpacking the show! They work hard!

I had the honor of interviewing the Star Dresser and Jerry/Daphne actor Tavis Kordell. It was interesting to learn about the handmade costumes, the work it takes to keep up the costumes on an almost daily basis, and how they are specially made for each actor. The costumes are couture, and each piece is truly special. I wish you could see them up close!

Of course, you can see them on stage this upcoming October when “Some Like it Hot” is on stage in San Jose! You can find tickets to the show at BroadwaySanJose.com. My family and I will be attending, I hope you go too! It will be amazing!

This was such a fun trip and I am grateful that Broadway San Jose included me so I could learn about the costumes and see everything up close. I have a deeper appreciation for Broadway now and can’t wait to see the show!

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to visit BroadwaySanJose.com for details and ticket info!
