Spring is a season of neutrals. But stay tuned! This summer there will be color popping up everywhere, which will be easy to mix and match with our neutral capsule wardrobes from the spring season. Think pink, coral, yellow, blue, green. Love that!

This spring season, continue to look for pieces without logos, and stick with quality over labels. Overspending on a label is currently unfashionable; people will either know what you have, or they will need to ask. That is the ultimate style flex.

The Dior nail polish summer 2025 collection is on the blog! Did you see it? The colors are bright and cheery, perfect for summer. Love! You can read all about here.

Beach day in the city

Beach day in the city? Yes! It does exist! Of course, it is still early in the spring season, so this is not a swimsuit kind of beach day, it is a delicious meal and take a walk type of beach day.

We started off by enjoying a fabulous lunch at The Beach Chalet. If you haven’t been to the Beach Chalet yet, what are you waiting for? The food is amazing, and the restaurant itself is iconic. It has been there forever. I remember going when I was teenager and in college when I lived in the city. There are sweeping views of the ocean and the beach, and the service is always impeccable. I enjoyed a crab melt with truffle fries, and there were plenty of vegetarian options for my daughter. Love that!

After lunch, we walked over to see the windmills. The flowers were in full bloom and the whole park looked stunning.

I mean, how often do you find a fog-free day in the city, especially at Ocean Beach?! It is so rare! I couldn’t believe our luck! It was a blessing since my daughter was home from college on spring break. I was so happy to give her a sunny day in the city.

If you enjoy lunch, brunch, or dinner at the Beach Chalet, be sure to visit the windmills too! After the windmill, we walked along the beach and enjoyed the waves and the recently cleaned sand. The beach looks amazing right now!
