Chic and understated vibes are here! Summer 2023 is all about understated style, unless we are talking nails. The neutral nail polish trend has shifted for summer 2023, and now we are looking at vibrant pastels, golden metallic polish, and navy blue. Love!

As styles trend toward timeless and understated looks, minus your nail color, look for neutral ensembles, 1980s preppy vibes, and investment dressing. This is a great season to invest in basic pieces you know you will wear for years to come. Then, when things get trendy again, you will have a high-quality wardrobe full of classics you can build upon. Love that!

Can you believe it is already May? This year is flying by! When it comes to street style, the summer season will be a continuation of the spring season. Look for the anonymous handbag to still dominate the streets, as well as investment jewelry. After all, these are timeless styles which are always relevant, no matter what the current trends are. This makes the anonymous handbag, investment pieces, and classic styles always on trend! Love that!

As we move into the summer season, look for softer neutrals and use black sparingly. Summer nail polish will start to offer more vibrant neutrals as well as fun colors. Stay away from logos and designer labels which shout, you want your outfits to offer a chic, simple, investment vibe. What? This old thing? Just threw it on! Yeah, that kinda vibe.

Stay tuned for summer coverage coming in May!

Favorite dim sum in Cupertino

There is a new dim sum restaurant in town! Koi Palace Contempo might be new to Cupertino, but it is already a mainstay here in the San Francisco Bay Area. When I heard they were opening a location in Cupertino, I was overjoyed! They have the best dim sum!

Two of my favorite items on the menu are the mushroom shumai and the lobster har gow. Yes! LOBSTER har gow. Ooooh, so good! We definitely enjoyed everything we ate and left overstuffed. I will be back again for sure!

If you are local to the Bay Area, check out the Koi Palace closest to you, you will love it! If you are here in the South Bay, be sure to check out the new location at Cupertino Main Street. It is so good!

FYI: The fork was a serving utensil; we ate with chopsticks. Just for the record.

It was literally the first spring day of the day, weather-wise, when we decided to try the new Koi Palace Contempo location inside Cupertino’s Main Street. I decided to wear my spring sweater, which I have been dying to wear for two months! It was perfect with jeans on this spring-like day. So glad spring has finally arrived!

Have you been enjoying this new spring weather? I know I am!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
