Well, that was a heat wave! What better place to hide from ninety-degree weather in March than the Beach Chalet in San Francisco! I had to go to the city for a meeting anyway, so enjoying a peaceful lunch at the Beach Chalet was a no brainer.

The temperatures rose to the low eighties in the city, but I was still comfortable in jeans and a knit top since we went out to Ocean Beach after our meeting. It was the perfect outfit for a warm spring day in the city. Love!

At the Beach Chalet, they gave us a fabulous table next to the window where we could enjoy the view of the ocean. It was peaceful and relaxing. Something I need right now!

I enjoyed the Mahi Mahi, which might be my new favorite menu item. It was delicious! I also enjoyed their calamari, which we ate as an appetizer, of course!

If you are local to the Bay Area, or plan to visit, be sure to stop into Beach Chalet for a meal. It is a rare, beachside restaurant in the city packed with history, ambiance, and delicious food. One of my favorite places to eat!

BAF Weekly IT List

Spring is in full swing! While neutral hues and classic items are hotter than hot, pops of color are quickly gaining momentum.

When it comes to spring nail polish, it’s selling like hot cakes! Hermes, Chanel, and Dior are already sold out, so I linked alternatives above which are right on trend and perfect for spring. Don’t worry, Dior’s summer nail polish collection is coming in April, and I will keep you posted when it arrives! There are two colors and they are pretty! Love!

As we move into the spring season, pearl jewelry, the anonymous handbag, woven leather, and nostalgia for the 1990s and early 2000s continue to influence social media and how we dress. So, don’t forget to pull out those old IT bags and wear them! The sidewalk is your runway, and the early 2000s paparazzi is following you. Show off your Balenciaga Le City bag, Fendy Spy, Chloe Marcie, Chloe Paraty, Fendi Baguette, and more!

Also, what are we thinking about Rockstuds returning? It will be interesting to see if everyone pulls them back out when “The Devil Wears Prada 2” premieres in May. Dust yours off, you might want to rock them soon!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more spring coverage!

This beautiful, sparkling rust colored nail polish from Hermes for the spring and summer 2026 season is back in stock! Love that! You can find it online here.

Of course, it might sell out quickly again, if that is the case, I linked up a couple of similar rust nail polishes from around the web which work perfectly for the rust nail polish trend this warm weather season. Love!

Rust colored nail polishes for spring:

Well, that’s it! I love this color and it has the perfect vibes for warm summer days, late summer and early fall style. Stay tuned for my review of the Hermes spring/summer 2026 nail polish collection!

Thanks for stopping by!
