Fashion: Travel Wear

Normally I wear pants while I travel just to be ready for any adventure while exploring a city or a town on foot. Such as climbing hillsides, stairs, sitting in a park, and all things requiring one to be careful about exposing too much if not dressed appropriately. For this year’s trip I am planning the days since we are going with two friends who have never been to Europe. So I have an idea in advance how I want to dress on particular days. Here are a few  comfy ones I’ve ordered, and hope they are true to size:

Fashion: All I Can Think About Is Summer

While in Los Angeles, I got a glimpse of summer fashion, only southern Californians can pull off (on this side of country). Because in San Francisco, summer dresses are hardly a thing. Unless of course you plan to go inland, the wine country particularly or Vegas for the weekend. But a girl can dream and appreciate the trends for 2016. Here are some of my favorites in shades of pink (which if you follow my blog, understand is my choice of color this year) and yes, I do love the blue striped one as well:

Elegance and sense of style is easily learned, and managed I feel, and most any body interested in betting themselves, can obtain such stature. So, here’s a game I play with friends, sometimes over dinner or a walk in the park. The question we pose to one another is what do you think about this or that person  in fashion, certain  sophistication or sexy simplicity …

Fashion: Prints and One Solid

I can’t get over the possibilities for when on vacation of the most comfortable, sensual, and yet playful dresses – something we can’t wear in San Francisco during our summers (cold and foggy) But sure can in September and October when we get our Indian Summer. Here’s my pick for this week:

Fashion: Met Gala 2016 -Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology

Ah the sense of fashion, and the theme of the Met Gala, each year, either raising the bar or lowering their standards. Either way, I have added a few of my favorite looks from this year’s style presentation by some of the well-known and not so well-known celebrity to some from around the globe.  For the rest of the Manus X Machina regard, click here:
