OK, ok, I know. I made a collage instead of a flat lay. To be frank, half of these items were in the laundry when I needed to make a flat lay so I opted to create a collage instead.

What I like about the collage is that you can see all of the tops and bottoms and how they mix and match. I think it is a clearer visual than a flat lay. What do you think?

As you can see, this winter season is again, a casual one. I am opting for investment pieces such as classic black pants, pencil skirts, cozy sweaters and jewelry. I love a classic look which can carry me from season to season without looking dated. I mean, we all have those photos from the late 1980s somewhere in our photo albums with hair sprayed hair, wild patterns, and, dare I say it, shoulder pads! The horror!

To keep memories like that from becoming cringy, timeless style is the way to go. Not only will the photos look good thirty years from now, but we can all save money over time by not buying one-season-wonders. Love that!

Stay tuned for more seasonal yet timeless capsules!

There’s nothing like an oversized sweater on a cool, crisp day to stay cozy and warm. I love this one, which happens to be on sale right now, and available in other colors. Love that!

I paired this cozy sweater with my new Mulberry mini Zipped Bayswater. This classic handbag is roomy and chic. I am in love! If this is the first time you are seeing this bag, be sure to check out my review which I posted last week.

This was the perfect, cozy and casual look for a delicious lunch at Steamer’s Grillhouse in Los Gatos. One of my favorite dishes there is the Steamer’s Linguini which is pictured above.

I highly recommend this yummy dish! Of course, everything on the menu is good. You cannot go wrong with what you order! Steamer’s is a Los Gatos staple and has been around for years. They get busy on peak nights, so be sure to make a reservation.

Also, if you love cozy sweaters, this one is on sale. I am thinking of getting the grey one too!

Casual daytime holiday outfit: earrings / velvet top / hobo bag / black pants / holiday nail polish / cocktail ring / black boots /

Can we all agree the holidays are fabulous?! I love holiday outfits, Christmas decorations, holiday decorations, crisp air, time off from work, and the ability to see friends and family it is difficult to visit with the rest of the year.

Over the Thanksgiving break, my daughter was home from school, and my friend Dawn (Fashion Should be Fun) was off of work. This meant we could take some time out of our busy schedules and visit! Loved it!

Since we knew the decorations were up at Santana Row, Dawn suggested wearing holiday attire, and I am so glad she did! It was my first opportunity to break out my velvet top. I was also able to dig into my sparkling holiday jewelry and add some shine to my all-black look. Pro tip: you don’t need expensive baubles to sparkle, Swarovski makes jewelry that sparkles, won’t drain your bank account, and is red carpet worthy. Love!

After catching up, and snapping photos in front of the Christmas tree, Dawn, my daughter, and myself enjoyed a delicious meal at Dumpling Time. They have really yummy xlb, shu mai, and shrimp toast. We had such a good meal! It was a treat for my daughter too who is accustomed to eating dorm food at school. If you are local, be sure to pop in for some yummy dumplings!

I am excited for the holiday season, and the opportunity to wear this velvet top more, as well as sparkling jewelry! What are you excited about style-wise this holiday season?

Thanks for stopping by!
