We found the most delicious Italian food in Southern California! L’Opera is located in downtown Long Beach and the food was amazing! Remember, my ancestry is Italian, so when I say it’s good, you know it’s outstanding!

This fabulous restaurant is housed inside an historic building built in 1906. It’s stunning. If you love historic buildings, you will fall in love before you even take bite of food. Love this!

We enjoyed our food so much. I had the Penne Pesto which was cooked perfectly, and a delicious dessert.

My daughter also enjoyed pasta and Tiramisu, which she said was delicious. My husband refrained from dessert, but he enjoyed his pasta too. Next time we go, I will order one of their meat entrees. We only had pasta since our lunch had been heavy. Nevertheless, our meals were delicious and we cannot wait to go back!

So, next time you are in SoCal, be sure to make reservations and enjoy dinner at L’Opera Long Beach. It’s amazing!

Relaxing in Long Beach

We did a quick road trip to Long Beach to visit our daughter, and the weather was beautiful! We stayed close to the water this time and were able to walk around the pier and downtown. It was a relaxing day and nice to be able to see our daughter.

I wore comfy sneakers for walking around and dressed casually. We enjoyed the Halloween decor on the Shoreline Pier and the views of the water.

It was fun to see the decorations and admire the view. For lunch, we had a delicious meal at Gladstone’s Long Beach. Our table was outside and we had a beautiful view of the water. It was relaxing and perfect! I enjoyed the Shrimp Enchiladas. They were delicious; highly recommend!

Next time you are in Southern California, don’t skip Long Beach! The pier is really nice and there are a lot of really good places to eat.

Asymmetrical fall dress

How fun is this asymmetrical dress for the fall season! I love a conversation starter which is both comfortable and affordable; I mean, a dress for under $100 is fabulous.

This asymmetrical dress has been perfect for both warm and cool fall days. I love wearing it to go out to dinner, and during the day, I can wear it with flats and a casual handbag for a sportier look. Love that!

These black boots are super comfortable, and the arch support makes them easy to walk and stand in for long periods of time. I love them! If you grab a pair, use code CATHY10 to save on your next purchase. Love!
