We had a little break in the rain, so I was able to wear this suede skirt; I will call it my winter suede skirt! Normally suede, and winter, do not go together. Suede is fragile, and cannot be worn during a rain storm. So, on rainy days, I look at my suede skirts in my closet and dream about wearing them! I am so glad I was able to sneak in a suede day!

I wore this outfit to Church last week. After mass, we took the kids down to Santana Row and enjoyed a yummy brunch at Left Bank. They have a fabulous kids menu, and a booth big enough to fit us all! If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, and looking for a kid friendly brunch spot, Left Bank is the place! My kids had fun using the crayons, drawing hearts and happy faces, while they waited for their food. The great thing about Left Bank is that you have the option to order brunch, or a lunch item. My middle child decided she wanted lunch, while my youngest and oldest were in a brunch mood. It worked out perfectly! Love that!

Can we talk about this door for a moment? Santana Row has the most amazing design, and these vintage doors are so beautiful! I love the old world feel of the doors; I felt like I was in Europe on vacation! Ah . . . if only I really was . .

I know we need the rain, but it is nice to have a few sunny days here and there to break up the grey skies. When the rain does clear, I love wearing this skirt! What do you reach for on cold, yet sunny, days during the winter season?

Casual pink and blue

In case you haven’t noticed, I have been having a love affair with this classic turtleneck sweater. I find myself reaching for it multiple times per week. I love it so much, I purchased it in blue, pink, and black! I could not pass up the fabulous sale price on this sweater; and the fact that is so cute!

This sweater is cozy, and the turtleneck is loose; so I don’t have to worry about an itchy, binding turtleneck. Love that! The sweater works well in moderate weather with a tank top underneath, and also in cold weather, below 40 degrees, with a long sleeve tee. When the temperatures dip into the 30’s, the addition of a blanket scarf makes it the perfect wardrobe staple in the winter months. It is also easy to layer underneath a warm coat.

Another thing I love about this turtleneck sweater, is that it can be dressed up or dressed down. I love how it looks with jeans on casual days, and I love the polished look it gives to skirts on dressier days. It also can be worn with a blanket scarf to add color or texture to an outfit, or a long necklace for a more formal look. Without a scarf or necklace, this turtleneck sweater offers a minimalist look which is clean and fresh. I can wear it with everything! Love!

If you find yourself in need of a classic, versatile, turtleneck sweater to wear right now; and next year, definitely check this one out! It comes in so many colors and neutrals; and it is on crazy sale! Can’t beat a great deal 🙂

If you decide to snap up this fabulous sweater which can be found online here, let me know which color or colors you come away with!

Larimar ring

Larimar jewelry is absolutely beautiful. So, when I received this Larimar ring, I was dazzled by it’s beauty! The Larimar stone is a fabulous, light turquoise gem with small streaks of white in it. I love how, in this ring, it is set with a pearl in silver. I also love the bypass style of the ring.

When I was putting together an outfit around the ring, I knew I had to pair it with my light blue vintage wool skirt by Missoni. The blue in the ring, and the blue tweed in the skirt, played well together.

I love how well-made the Larimar ring is, and color is just spectacular. I am looking forward to wearing this ring often, and for many years to come! I have only had the ring for about one week, and I am already wearing it almost everyday! Love!

Larimar has so many jewelry options on their website. I am in love with their cuffs, and their earrings are stunning! I definitely want to add more Larimar jewelry to my collection.

The Larimar stone is found in the beautiful waters of the Caribbean, around the Dominican Republic. The Larimar stone is created by volcanic activity, and is considered a powerful throat chakra. It is believed to aid in the expression of emotions. Love that!

The perfect blue hue of the Larimar stone makes it ideal for wearing this spring season. It will look amazing paired with shades of blue, and this season’s rose and blush hues. I cannot wait to wear this ring often!
