Fall is in full swing and the holidays are starting to creep onto store shelves. This holiday season seems to be filled with darker berry hues, metallic sparkles, darker greens, and gourmand fragrances.

When it comes to style, the anonymous handbag is saying put through next year as well as neutral ensembles, timeless pieces, and pops of color. Being trendy is totally off-trend.

I love all the classic vibes, investment dressing and quality over logo pieces and looks right now. I hope this style stays put!

With the holiday season around the corner, stay tuned for my upcoming gift guides as well as continuing fall coverage!

Fall day in the city

It’s a beautiful fall season! Last weekend we went to the city for the Italian parade. It just so happened, fleet week was happening at the same time. So, in addition to seeing a parade, we got to look up and catch a glimpse at the air show. As you can see in the photo below, the Canadian Snowbirds drew a heart in the sky. It is partially blocked by trees from my angle, but we could still enjoy it.

We started our day with breakfast at Caffe Greco in North Beach, then we headed over to Washington Square to watch the parade and admire the planes in the sky.

The restaurants in North Beach were impacted since it was the Italian Heritage celebration, so we walked down to Chinatown for lunch where it was easy to get a table, and there were normal menu prices. It was a good choice since we enjoyed dim sum at my favorite dim sum restaurant in San Francisco, Peninsula Seafood Restaurant on Jackson. So good!

The weather was perfect for a parade and also for fleet week. No fog! Right? Crazy! This made my wide leg jeans and long sleeve tee perfect for the weather. Love that!

So, if you ever decide to attend the Italian parade, be sure to plan ahead for lunch. I recommend avoiding event pricing and walking to Chinatown. But, if you want to immerse yourself in the event, be prepared to make reservations and watch for event pricing at the North Beach restaurants. Otherwise, the event was really fun! We enjoyed the parade, the car show, and overall vibe with my fellow people of Italian descent. Love!

Depending on the type of office you work in, this outfit could be perfect for casual Friday, or it could be considered perfect for Monday through Thursday. At any rate, it is classic and perfect for the office. This outfit can even carry you into dinner or happy hour after work. Love that!

Of course, I am suggesting my favorite vanilla fragrance. The office is just like the theater, one spray is perfect Spray it on one wrist then dab it on the other, plus dab it on both sides of your neck, and perfection! Love!
