Casual summer night out

wearing: hoop earrings / lipstick / oversize tee / summer nail polish / classic jeans / vintage handbag / black boots /

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

100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Cocoa Butter Matte Lipstick review

100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Cocoa Butter Matte Lipstick review

I don’t buy a lot of lipstick, so when I do, I am very careful about what I choose. When 100% Pure asked to gift me a few products to try, I was thrilled to see a lipstick in their collection which was vegan, cruelty-free, all natural, and made in the USA. Love that!

100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Cocoa Butter Matte Lipstick is a smooth lipstick which feels comfortable on and doesn’t smudge. It has a nice, clean look and covers nicely. I love Pink Canyon since it’s a natural pink which plays well with my skin tone. It’s a great summer color! In the fall, I plan to choose a slightly darker hue. Love it!

I am looking forward to wearing my 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Cocoa Butter Matte Lipstick in Pink Canyon all summer long. They have a tone of colors, be sure to check them out online here!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy National Nail Polish Day 2026! Today we get to celebrate all the fabulous nail polish we love to wear. Since shades of blue are my favorite nail polish hues, I am sharing the three summer nail polish hues I have on constant rotation right now. I am in love with these beautiful versions of blue!

There is a fabulous periwinkle, which can be blue or purple depending on how you wish to describe it, a bright blue and a blue green for the summer season. It is the perfect line-up of color for my summer nail polish whims! Love that!
