Casual summer days, or should I say foggy summer days, are here! Summer fog is the perfect time to rock a pair of funky barrel jeans and a comfy, oversize tee.

I recently wore this combo out to lunch with my family. We enjoyed lunch at “It’s Dumpling Time” at the Stanford Shopping Center. It was really yummy, and fun to spend time with my college age children since they are home for summer vacation. Love!

Barrel jeans are a fun trend in denim this year, and I love how this pair can be ordered in various lengths and waist sizes. It makes it easy to find the right size without having to worry about alternations. Plus, they are really comfortable. Love that!

It will be fun to wear these jeans over the summer as well as into the fall and winter seasons. They are year-round jeans!

Also, if you like dumplings, It’s Dumpling Time has yummy xlb dumplings. I highly recommend them!

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

Happy June! As we move into the summer months, we are seeing fabulous summer prints, the anonymous handbag, natural fibers on handbags, eye-catching sandals, classic jewelry, and shades of blue nail polish. Love!

The move away from wearing tonal neutrals is gone for the summer months; while adding pretty colors and prints has moved into our wardrobes. Love that!

Don’t be afraid to wear colors and prints; and mix them all together! Have some fun with your personal style this summer.

Casual summer night out

Now that summer weather has arrived, we are looking at restaurants with outdoor patios. When my oldest daughter arrived home from college, we decided to celebrate with a festive dinner out at Teske’s Germania in downtown San Jose.

Teske’s is a German restaurant with a covered outdoor patio and live music. They offer large portions of food, and beer. The wine list is good too. We enjoyed too much food, live music, and a festive vibe on the outdoor patio. It was a fun night out!

Since the restaurant is casual, I wore my favorite oversize tee, classic jeans and my city tote. It was perfect for the mild, summery weather.

If you are local to the Bay Area, I recommend checking out Teske’s Germania in San Jose. Be sure to bring cash! They have a small fee for using a credit card. Luckily, we had cash with us! haha
