Spring is starting to bloom, and while temperatures are still low, the blossoms are out, and warmer weather is just around corner. Love that!

This means we are all preparing our wardrobes for warmer, spring weather! This short sleeve sweater is a fabulous spring piece since it is thick and warm yet offers short sleeves for mild days. I love it paired with wide leg pants or jeans. So cute!

Also loving this medium weight long sleeve top which is fabulous with jeans on mild spring days. In addition to spring tops, street sneakers, the anonymous handbag and these high heels with arch support are hotter than hot. Love!

Pale pink, shades of green, and shades of mocha are also hot right now. Also look for pastels in all hues. Spring is almost here!

Stay tuned for spring coverage on the blog!

Thanks for stopping by!

While it is still a bit chilly out there, blossoms are showing up on trees and shrubs while the sun is peeking through the clouds, offering a bit more warmth than a month ago. Signs of spring are here! Love that!

Since we can’t exactly wear sundresses and sandals just yet, we can still rock our cozy wide leg jeans and add a bit of spring to our looks with spring nail polish and investment handbags. This season is all about investment handbags and outfits in general. Classic vibes are what’s hot for spring and well into the new year. Think chic and clean.

This is the time to shop for investment handbags, practical footwear, and touches of spring. Soon, the stores will be stocked with spring and even a sneak peek at summer! Bring on the warm sun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Windy day in Santa Barbara

We recently took a quick weekend trip to socal and stopped overnight in Santa Barbara. Man, it was windy! Those Santa Ana winds are unforgiving! This was the best photo I could get! When I took a picture with my husband, my hair was flying straight up into the air. It looked like my finger was in a light socket. It was crazy! haha

Downtown Santa Barbara is filled with shops and places to eat. We wandered around and went out to the pier for a few family photos, which were very windblown. For dinner, we enjoyed a beautiful meal at Convivo.

Convivo is an Italian restaurant near the beach. We ate outside and were perfectly protected from the wind. From our table, we were able to watch the sunset. I highly recommend this restaurant! Watch for timing when booking your reservation so you can be there when the sun sets. It’s highly worth it!

We all enjoyed our meals and ordered dessert; of course! This meal was the highlight of our quick overnight stay in Santa Barbara. Loved it!

Hopefully when you visit, it won’t be so windy!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
