Life has been so busy lately, my husband and I have not had a chance to go out together without the kids in months! In fact, we have only gone out once since the shut-down ended. About a week ago, we actually had a free Saturday evening, so we took advantage of it!

I have been to Flights in Los Gatos a handful of times with my mom for lunch, but my husband never had a chance to go. He had been missing out! Flights is a restaurant that serves different variations of a dish on the same plate; essentially a flight of food. It’s not only fun, creative, and fresh, it’s delicious!

My husband enjoyed a flight of skewers, while I ordered the seared ahi flight. We shared a plate of mixed mushrooms, and the french fries flight. It was a cool evening, and we ate on the patio, so I also ordered warm tea. It was perfect! The food was so good, and my husband was really impressed. He has a new favorite restaurant, that isn’t a sports bar! haha

Since I knew we would be on the patio, and Los Gatos is a California Casual type of place, I opted for my dark wash skinny jeans paired with my oversize, long sleeve top. To stay warm on the patio, I added my pink scarf. It was perfect for staying cozy outside on a cold evening.

If you are local to the Bay Area, be sure to try out Flights. They have locations in Los Gatos, Campbell, Burlingame, and Las Vegas (obvi not the Bay Area). If you go, make sure you get the french fries flight, it’s a must-have! If you love sushi, or fish in general, the seared ahi flight will knock your socks off. Yum!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Casual capsule wardrobe holidays 2021 from left: tweed black jacket / green v-neck long sleeve top / black sparkle puff sleeve top / red sparkle puff sleeve top / faux leather pants (if you are a RHOBH fan, check out this post) / dark wash skinny jeans /

‘Tis the season to sparkle! I am so happy the holiday season is upon us. Last year, we were still locked down here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we were unable to gather with family members from outside our household. This year, I am looking forward to seeing my family, and enjoying the holiday season. That being said, I need to make sure I have enough festive looks for the various casual and dressy events I plan to attend!

For my casual holiday capsule wardrobe, I have this cozy tweed jacket, two sparkling puff sleeve tops, a long sleeve satin top for cold days or outdoor events, these fabulous faux leather pants, and my current go-to jeans. All of these pieces can be mixed and matched for endless outfit ideas! These holiday outfits can also be paired with sparkling crystal jewelry, or more understated, daytime jewelry; depending on the occasion. Love!

Well, parties are back in style this year! Therefore, I need a few dressy options. This green pleated skirt from fall is perfect to slide right into the holiday season. Of course, what holiday season is complete without a sparkling sequin piece! This skirt is currently on sale; it’s fun, festive, and the skirt version of the little black dress. It can be worn daytime, nighttime, or anytime! Love!

Since these fabulous, faux leather pants are my current obsession, they too can be worn to evening events. Paired with heels, a sparkling top and jewelry, as well as an evening bag, these pants are great for outdoor events where my legs could get cold in a skirt. Love!

Chunky knit sweater and jeans

There’s nothing like cozy sweater weather! This chunky knit sweater is perfect for cool days, and for staying cozy. It’s chunky, not too warm, and ideal for fall days. Layer it with a long sleeve tee, and this chunky knit cardigan sweater can easily work throughout the fall and winter seasons. Love it!

I wore this cozy fall outfit the other day to wander around Stanford Shopping Center, and enjoy a delicious lunch at Neiman Marcus Cafe. I haven’t enjoyed a meal there since pre-covid; so it was definitely a treat! I mean, who doesn’t look forward to the consume and puff as an appetizer? They’re iconic!

My Mom enjoyed the tacos, and I ordered the special, which was a lobster sandwich. As always, our food was very yummy. Neiman’s Cafe can do no wrong! At least, in my opinion.

This was a meal we had both looked forward to as a post-covid shut-down goal. It was so nice to be able to go back for lunch! Which restaurants and/or places did you look forward to when everything started to open back up?
