Fall outfit and a beachy dinner

Ah, fog in San Francisco. I love it when the fog rolls in; especially when I want to manifest fall weather! Over the weekend, we went up to the city for dinner at Seal Rock Inn. This was fabulous because it was blazing hot in the south bay, so heading up into the fog was a blessing. Plus, it was a chance to rock a fall outfit. Love that!

Seal Rock Inn is a cute little hotel by the beach in San Francisco. It has a delicious restaurant on the corner which features views of the ocean. I can’t believe I didn’t take a photo for you! Well, this means you will have to visit the restaurant yourself to see the beautiful views of the ocean.

I enjoyed a glass of Riesling, which was served in a champagne flute. For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Coq au Vin, which was amazing. Of course, for dessert I had to have Creme Brulee; it’s my favorite.

Our meals were really good, so we definitely plan to go back. I have heard Seal Rock Inn has an amazing brunch menu, so I think we will check that out next time and combine it with a visit to Land’s End. So, I highly recommend enjoying a meal at Seal Rock Inn!

Tree to Tub Cocoa & Shea body butter review

pictured: Tree to Tub Cocoa & Shea body butter / nail polish /

I am always trying new body creams, so when I saw this body butter from Tree to Tub with a “citrus splash” scent I needed to try it! I also love creams which contain shea butter, so it was a must-try!

Beauty products which have thoughtful ingredients are important to me as I try to avoid toxic products. Tree to Tub is free from banned ingredients in the EU and uses botanicals and safe extracts to create a moisturizing body butter which actually works. Love that!

As a body butter, it works great! My skin stays soft and moisturized for the whole day after application. When it comes to the scent, the citrus scent is extremely light, so it’s hard to find. What I can smell is the shea butter. There isn’t anything wrong with that, but if you are looking for an actual citrus fragrance, this doesn’t have it. It smells like shea butter, which is a scent I like.

I really enjoy this body butter, so I would definitely buy it again. Since it is light, it does not complete with other perfumes and creams. I can wear it without worrying about competing fragrances once I spray my perfume. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by!

Fall is fast approaching, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that the weather catches up! It’s been waaaaaaaay too warm! Ugh! But, I digress. . .

With fall styles hitting store shelves, it’s time to think about what we need to fill in our wardrobes. So, stay tuned! My closet shopping post is hitting the blog next week! Right now, think art deco, shades of green, and timeless style.

As we think about fall, fashion and style continue to shift away from fleeting trends and towards longer lasting styles; with a focus on personal style. So, while runway trends are fun to incorporate into our wardrobes, only pick the ones that blend with what you own and love to wear. The trendy look is long gone. Personal style is king.

Long story short, investment dressing and wearing what we love is hotter than hot. Now that’s a trend I can stand behind!
