There is something about this wall! If you have been following along for a few years, you may have noticed I photograph in front of this wall quite a bit. In fact, if you follow other Bay Area bloggers, you may have seen them in front of this wall too!

Sometimes I try to avoid the wall, because I feel like it has gotten a little over-done. But, when I spent the afternoon on Santana Row the other day with my family, this was one of the few spots without crowds of people; plus the light was perfect. So, what can I say? I guess I am “just another brick in the wall.” . . .;-)

That being said, I do like this wall. It is quite pretty! So, I guess it is fitting to be the background for my current go-to spring outfit! Jeans and a tee are always perfect for a casual go-to look during the spring months. The addition of this spring blazer, last seen at fashion week, makes an otherwise basic outfit look on-trend and chic. Love blazers!!

What is your current go-to look for spring? Are you jumping on the menswear trend too?

In case you are wondering where “The Wall” is located, it is behind Anthropologie at Santana Row in San Jose. If you visit, definitely take a picture in front of it! It’s a little bit iconic around here 😉

Not a bumble bee

Yellow is a huge color for the spring 2018 season. It is a color I love, yet don’t own very much of. So, after wearing yellow nail polish for a few weeks, I decided to invest in a yellow top for the spring season. Why not add some sunshine to my wardrobe!

I love how this top looks with black jeans and shoes. Since this top is yellow and black striped, I think the black jeans and shoes give it a simple, casual look. Of course, my husband told me I look like a bumble bee. Um. . .not cool. I might have to sting him for saying that! haha

My cute little nine-year-old son took these photos. Although some of them are a little blurry, I think he did a pretty good job!

Are you loving yellow for spring 2018?

Wearing a spring sweater in the snow

how to wear spring clothing in the winter how to wear spring clothing in the winter medium chloe nilespring clothing snow

wearing: pink snow hat (sold out, also love this one) / silver circle earrings / lipstick / blue turtleneck (color sold out, similar blue one here) / spring black and white sweater (last seen here) / black leather gloves / black handbag / spring nail polish / skinny jeans (sold out, similar here) / snow boots (so cozy and warm!)

I love love love this spring sweater I wore at fashion week with my menswear suit! It is really comfortable, and I love the style. So, when we were in Tahoe last week, I wanted to wear it; despite that fact that it was snowing pretty hard outside!

In order to style this spring sweater for snow weather, I layered it over a turtleneck in a contrasting color. Since there is a cold shoulder on the sweater, I thought the peek-a-boo color would be fun. It was perfect for the weather, and with the addition of a jacket, worked well for being outside in the snow.

This sweater will be fun to wear this spring season, and on cool summer evenings when the fog comes in. Do you try to wear spring clothing when it’s still winter outside? What are your tips and tricks?
