San Jose Earthquakes at Levi’s Stadium

When the World Cup was hosted here in the United States, I started to get soccer fever. It was fun to watch the games and learn the rules. As a former athlete and sports fan, it was easy for me to add a new sport to my fandom. So, now that the regular soccer season is well underway, I am following the Earthquakes and cheering them on!

Last weekend the San Jose Earthquakes played their game against LA at Levi’s Stadium instead of their usual stadium. As a huge niners fan, it was fun to see a game at Levi’s Stadium which is filled with 49ers logos, pictures, memorabilia, and overall vibes.

My husband landed two tickets in a suite for the game, so I jumped at the chance to go! The suite was filled with paintings and pictures of the 49ers, past and present. It also had a great view of the field, a lot of food, and comfortable seating. Love!

In addition to sushi which looked like mini tacos, we enjoyed French Fries, actual tacos, and pizza. It was fun watching the game, but I wish regular soccer games had the tie breaking kick off that is done in the World Cup. It was a little sad ending the game in a tie. I kinda enjoy the kick-off for tie-breakers in the World Cup. But, that’s ok, it was still really fun seeing a soccer game at Levi’s Satdium!

Ally boots review

I finally got a pair of Ally ankle boots! If you have been following along, you know I suffer from Planter Fasciitis. Last year, I received a pair of Ally’s high heels and discovered that I too can wear heels without pain. It was groundbreaking! So, I have made a wish list a mile long of shoes from Ally and now I have added one pair from this list. Yes, I want more, but for now, let’s talk about these amazing ankle boots with arch support!

The ankle boots from Ally offer built-in arch support which feels like it was custom made for me. I can walk and stand for hours without pain in these boots. Love that!

The boot style is classic and with a pointed tote, so I know they will last for many years without needing to worry about them looking dated. This makes these boots an investment pair of shoes. You know I love a good investment piece!

Ally makes this ankle boot in two heel sizes, low and high. I got the high ones, but I have my eye on the low ones too, maybe I’ll get them in a different color. The high ones are perfect for the office, and I have also worn them with cropped jeans on the weekend; you know, to show them off.

Here are the shoes I currently own, or am wishing for, from Ally shoes:

If you are not sure about your size, check out the fit finder to find your perfect size. I wear a US 9 and for my Ally shoes I wear a 40.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you love Ally as much as I do!

BAF Weekly List

BAF Weekly List from top left: chocolate brown sweater / Hermes nail polish / Chanel fall nail polish / Dior nail polish / neutral tote bag / black tote bag / satin skirt / gold hoops / city bag / Prada lip set / Chanel edp / black boots (code CATHY10) / suede high heels (code CATHY10) / suede kitten heels (code CATHY15) /

Pink nail polish, soft fabrics, and timeless handbags are all hot for fall; and can always withstand the test of time. Love that!

As we put together our understated outfits for the fall season, the runways in New York have been pushing the current flow of fashion by giving us bold colors, volume, and sparkle. What did we see in line with our current taste? The continuation of the anonymous handbag, more former IT bags reincarnated, solid colors not patterns, barely-there shoes (we saw a lot of bare feet), and soft fabrics. What does this mean for our current closets? Well, it’s good news!

This means we can keep our current style in spring 2027 and just add color! There might be a few more puffy sleeves and voluminous skirts on the market, but overall, we can add to our wardrobes with pops of colors, and color mixing. Our neutral pieces we have invested in can easily be mixed into the new, colorful look. You can check out my post about the upcoming spring 2027 color trends here.

That being said, let’s move back into the fall season. As we head towards cooler temperatures, continue to invest in soft fabrics, pink nail polish, and handbags which exude quality not logos. Love this!
