Peacoat and barrel jeans

wearing: sunglasses / pearl earrings / blue sweater / peacoat (on sale!) / winter nail polish / handbag / black barrel jeans / black boots /

Although the sun has been shining, the mornings are cool and the window of warmth in the afternoon is short. That’s winter for you! I am thankful for this warm and cozy peacoat so I can stay warm in this winter season.

Since the sun has been shining, I am in the mood to brighten up my wardrobe. This bright blue sweater is perfect for adding some spring color to my winter look. Also, it’s been fun wearing my old Balenciaga City bag! I love that it is back in style. More about that here.

I wore this cozy outfit to Stanford Shopping Center last week to see if anything new for spring has sprung up on store shelves and also enjoy a delicious lunch. Sorry to report, the stores were mostly winter.

Did you know there is a Dumpling Time at Stanford Shopping Center? It’s tucked away in a corner, so if you didn’t know it was there, now you do! I plan to go back when the weather warms up because they have an amazing outdoor patio. I am sure you already know about their delicious xlb and other dumplings, but you must try the Beijing Noodles too. They are really yummy!

If you want a classic peacoat, this one is at a fabulous price under $100! Love that!

Thanks for stopping by!

Winter 2026 skin care routine

Winter skin care from top left: day cream / eye cream / night cream / hand cream / body cream / neck cream / face wash /

This winer season hasn’t been as dry as in the past. So, I am keeping the same skin care routine from the fall season, with the exception of moving to a fragrance-free body cream.

As you know, I have been using Revive skin care for well over twenty years. I love their products and can’t praise them enough. If you haven’t tried their skin care, what are you waiting for? I also love their face wash, which is gentle and cleansing. My teens use it too!

Since I love switching up my fragrance each day, this fragrance-free body cream is perfect. It does not compete with my perfume and keeps my skin moisturized. Love it!
