OK, so my daughter took these photos the other day after lunch, and she kept telling me how pretty my bag was! The first thing she said when she saw it was “it’s a mermaid bag!” Yup! She thinks the color and sheen look like the ocean, and the stamped croc looks like seashells. She asked if she could have the bag, and when I said no, she said she was going to buy herself one. haha, so cute!

She was also smitten with my tee. You can’t tell in the photos, but it has sparkles! This tee is such a fun way to be casual and comfy this spring season. I plan on wearing this tee all the time!

When it comes to wearing denim on denim for spring 2018, I love to mix contrasting denim hues. Denim this season is embellished, colorful, and being shown in acid wash; raise your hand if you used to wear acid wash jackets and jeans back in the day! My hand is so far up, I hit the light fixture!

I don’t always go for denim on denim, but when it is done in contrasting washes, or colors, I love how it looks. Plus, denim is so comfortable without looking sloppy; like worn-in sweatpants. Love it!

Denim on denim isn’t exactly a trend anymore. It seems to be something which has been around for over five years now, and doesn’t show any sign of going away. What do you think of denim on denim? Is this a look you like to wear?

Winter into Spring Casual Friday

wearing: purple and gold earrings / lipstick / black twist tee / gold-tone layered necklace c/o BaubleBar / violet nail polish / grey leather jacket / Gucci bag / charcoal jeans / silver mules (old, also love this pair under $100)

Happy Friday! So I can’t seem to stop wearing these comfortable jeans, and this fun tee with a twist! They are my two favorite, casual clothing items for spring. It’s so easy to create different outfits with them just by changing my jacket and shoes.

These flat silver slides have been a favorite of mine since last fall. They are so comfy, and they add some fun to an everyday look. As the weather gets a little bit warmer, this leather jacket is turning into a go-to item for me too.

My cute little nine-year-old son took these photos. He did a pretty good job! Some of them were tilted, and I had to straighten them in Photoshop, but other then that, they turned out pretty good! Now I have two kids who think taking photos is fun! Yay!

Do you have a go-to outfit this season you find yourself reaching for multiple times per week?

Thanks for stopping by!

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 😉
