Well, despite being February, we have enjoyed some days in the 70’s with evenings staying in the high 60’s. So, my family went to Santana Row to enjoy dinner out, little did we know the Row had been invaded by Seahawks fans that night!

Yup, this was Saturday night before the Super Bowl. I didn’t stop and think about all the non-niners fans that would be in town for the game. Thankfully, I had reservations at Left Bank so we were able to get a table without a problem. Whew! Shoutout to OpenTable.com!

We realized what was going on as we emerged from the parking garage. There were Seahawks fans everywhere! I had to remind myself I was in San Jose, not Seattle. I felt a little bit of warmth when a couple walked past us wearing niners jerseys. There are some locals like us here! Yay!!

My family navigated through the crowds of people trying to get tables at restaurants without a reservation, sad night for them! When we arrived at Left Bank, we lined up and, despite the drunk group behind us trying to eat a candle, no joke, we got our table right away.

The staff was super friendly and our food was delicious. 10/10 for Left Bank at Santana Row! Loved it!

After dinner we navigated our way back to the parking garage, and stopped for photos at NetApp, I love their tech art! It was fun seeing Santana Row so busy, despite the Seahawks jerseys. haha, next year, 49ers in the Super Bowl! I can feel it!

The spring blossoms are out, and temperatures have been hovering in the 60’s and 70’s; despite the rain we have right now, it looks like spring is peeking through! This means we all need to have our spring wardrobes ready to go! Love this!

Scour your closet for shades of blue, pink, white, green, and lighter neutrals. Pops of color mixed with neutrals will be hot this spring season! If you live where it is still cold, the easiest way to brighten up your look is with Dior’s spring nail polish and a lighter handbag.

As we move towards the spring season, continue wearing classic styles, the anonymous handbag, and pearl jewelry. Stay far away from logos!

Sparkling pink manicure for spring 2026

Pink manicure for spring 2026: sparkling Dior nail polish / pink Hermes nail polish /

Pink is hot for spring 2026, not just as an on-trend color, but as a classic spring hue; kinda like florals. haha See what I did there? The Devil Wears Prada 2 comes out in May, and I can’t wait to see it! But. . .I digress. . .we are talking about pink nail polish for spring.

While we wait for Chanel’s spring blue hue and Hermes to release their own spring/summer beauty collection, pink is always fresh and light for the spring season; even if the weather in your part of the world isn’t spring-like yet. This sparkling pink glitter nail polish from Dior’s spring 2026 beauty collection looks fabulous on top of any spring color, but it definitely adds a little va-va-voom to regular pink nail polish. I love the pink sparkling look for spring!

If you already have a pink nail polish in your collection, you can add this spring nail polish from Dior for the full effect, if not, this beautiful Hermes pink/rose is the perfect nail polish for your collection. Love!

Note: The Hermes nail polish shown is Rose Papillon Irise which was limited edition and is now sold out. Rose Coquille is also beautiful and slightly lighter than what I am showing. It too will look fabulous under Dior’s sparkling pink. My links will take you to Hermes Rose Coquille. Of course, any pink will look amazing with Dior Fizzy.
