Scarf skirt and a cute tea

It’s always a fun time enjoying tea at the Hello Kitty Cafe at Valley Fair. The food is on theme and so cute! Plus, it’s delicious! If you haven’t been to tea-time at the Hello Kitty Cafe, you need to make a reservation and go! It’s so cute and yummy!

I decided to wear my scarf skirt for teatime. I was experiencing some foot pain, so I wore my comfy boots which are easy to walk in and support my feet. This scarf skirt also looks cute with sandals and flats; which would normally be my preference over boots.

This scarf skirt is so much fun! It has that fun, scarf (asymmetrical) hemline which give it style its’ on own. For warm days, it’s easy to pair with a tee and boom! An outfit is born. As temperatures cool off in the fall season, I can pair this skirt with a short sleeve sweater, and eventually a long sleeve sweater and knee boots. Love!

Scarves are making a comeback. So, feel free to pull out your vintage scarves from yesteryear and incorporate them into your everyday looks. When shopping for fall, look for fun styles with scarf inspiration such a blouses, dresses and of course, skirts!

Fall outfit and a beachy dinner

Ah, fog in San Francisco. I love it when the fog rolls in; especially when I want to manifest fall weather! Over the weekend, we went up to the city for dinner at Seal Rock Inn. This was fabulous because it was blazing hot in the south bay, so heading up into the fog was a blessing. Plus, it was a chance to rock a fall outfit. Love that!

Seal Rock Inn is a cute little hotel by the beach in San Francisco. It has a delicious restaurant on the corner which features views of the ocean. I can’t believe I didn’t take a photo for you! Well, this means you will have to visit the restaurant yourself to see the beautiful views of the ocean.

I enjoyed a glass of Riesling, which was served in a champagne flute. For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Coq au Vin, which was amazing. Of course, for dessert I had to have Creme Brulee; it’s my favorite.

Our meals were really good, so we definitely plan to go back. I have heard Seal Rock Inn has an amazing brunch menu, so I think we will check that out next time and combine it with a visit to Land’s End. So, I highly recommend enjoying a meal at Seal Rock Inn!

Summer day in San Jose

There is always something going on during the summer! In July, the annual Italian Festa took place at History Park San Jose, located inside Kelley Park.

We arrived a bit early so we could snag a parking spot in the closest parking lot, which meant we arrived before the festa began. So, we took that opportunity to take a relaxing walk through the Japanese Friendship Garden. The garden has been refreshed since we last visited, so it was nice to see the fountain on, the koi fish swimming, the gardens manicured and a turtle enjoying life in San Jose.

After walking through the gardens, we walked over to the festa. It was fun to see a street fair inside the park. This made the event feel safe and the booths easier to visit. Love the venue!

There were flag throwers from Italy, booths with history lessons, delicious food choices, and a showcase of all the Italian Immigrants who contributed to the building of San Jose and the greater Bay Area. There were parts which included my ancestors, so it was extra special. Love!

I am looking forward to attending the fest again next summer when it returns to History Park San Jose. If you are local, I recommend attending too!

Thanks for stopping by!
