‘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!

If you are looking for affordable and sparkling jewelry this holiday season, The Perfect Provenance (in Tiburon and Napa) has several great pieces under $50. They make ideal holiday gifts too. You can check them out online here.

Chunky knit sweater and jeans

Wearing: sunglasses / statement earrings / fall lipstick / pink scarf (under $100) / chunky knit sweater / black long sleeve top / G buckle belt / charcoal jeans / caramel structured hobo bag (IT bag under $1000) / fall nail polish / lug sole loafers /

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?

Cozy in the wind

It’s finally fall weather! Love! My Mom and I went to Valley Fair Mall last week to check out the fall merchandise, and see if anything has started to arrive for the holidays. Normally in October, we start seeing holiday merchandise, such as nail polish; this year holiday beauty collections have not arrived yet. I am patiently waiting. . .

The fall merchandise was plentiful and cozy looking. I was so thankful the outside weather matched what we saw inside the stores. There was a lot of wind, and cool, moderate temperatures. Perfect weather for wearing a cardigan sweater and a scarf.

We wandered into several stores and eventually stopped for lunch at Bamboo Sushi. OMG! It was SO GOOD! For an appetizer, we tried the cauliflower, and it was delicious. They coated it in a yummy black bean sauce and spices. I am addicted, and definitely need to return for more cauliflower! I also enjoyed a couple sushi rolls. So good! If you are local, be sure to try out Bamboo Sushi next time you head to Valley Fair. It’s so worth it!

I’m sorry I don’t have a photo of the cauliflower, please trust me on how delicious it was! This photo is Ikura Nigiri and the box roll. So good!

Can we chat about this sweater really quick? It is incredibly good quality and the stitching is so well done. Can you believe it is priced under $100? I had to pinch myself when I saw how good the price was. It also comes in a few other colors. I’m tempted to pick up another one in a different hue. It’s so good!

I also want to quickly give a shout-out to these lug sole boots. I purchased them last year, and they were so popular, they are still on the market! These boots happen to be water resistant, and very comfortable. I could walk in them for days! Plus, the lug sole look is still very much on trend; especially with the huge 1990s influences we are seeing in fashion this year. These boots are affordable, and will work well throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons. If you didn’t pick up a pair last year, and you need boots, I recommend picking up this pair!
