Can you believe it is already the last day of January? Is this year flying by already, or is it my imagination? Wow!

As we move into February, we can expect some spring days to start peeking through, cherry blossoms, and signs of the cold winter coming to an end. Love that! This means a lightweight jacket will be handy as well as comfortable street sneakers instead of boots.

The new year is also bringing us fabulous anonymous handbags which are reasonably priced, and pastels for the new spring season. Love that! In addition to pastels, watch for shades of mocha and lucky red.

Stay tuned for spring coverage as move into February!

Thanks for stopping by!

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Winter Wonderland

wearing: black long sleeve tee / mocha scarf / nail polish / wide leg jeans / bucket bag / sneakers /

Earlier this month we enjoyed a day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It is always fun to go in the winter because the boardwalk is decorated for the holiday season, and it is a lot less crowded than during the summer months. The only drawback is that half of the rides are closed, but we had fun and filled up our day anyway!

The weather was mild and I was able to wear a long sleeve tee with a scarf and leave my sweatshirt in the car. These sneakers were comfy and helped me last throughout the day; and keep up with my kids! haha

We enjoyed the mini golf, which is where this cute little turtle was located. Of course, we indulged in boardwalk food and went on the bumper cars. Fun!

If you are looking for a great pair of wide leg jeans, these are on sale! They also come in standard sizing, plus sizes, petite, and tall sizes. Love that! I am wearing petite.

In case you are local, I highly recommend heading to the boardwalk before the summer crowds! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring nail polish, belted tote bags, and the anonymous handbag in general are hot right now! They will remain hot throughout the new year and into next year. Love that!

In addition, wide leg jeans are still important as we move into the spring season. This pair happens to be on major sale for under $100. They are available in petite, plus, tall, and regular sizes. I really love my pair. They are so comfortable, and they wash really well. I love a high-quality pair of jeans!

Also, watch for shades of light pink as we move into spring! It is starting to prove to be the hot color behind shades of Mocha for 2025. Love that!
