Fashion: Travel Wear

Published by

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

Published by

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:

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: Dressing for Vacation

Spring is here, and that means the start of the vacation planning, and for some pre-season getaways.  With that concept, I am searching high and low for the perfect summer dresses, this year opting not to settle on wearing shorts and a T-shirt, unless I plan to take a hike (literally) or go to the beach here and here, and here.  You guessed it, I am going to Los Angeles. Here’s what I am thinking:

Lifestyle: Taking Lessons From Italian Women

Published by

Over a decade ago the hubs and I took our first trip to Italy, starting in Venice.  Someone at the train station suggested we hop on a water bus to get  us to our hotel since we had no idea what we were doing-fresh out of college. We took the bus, and on it was a woman dressed so perfect-sensual that we found ourselves staring at her in awe. In Rome the same thing happened, women here and there  in cafes and restaurants  dressed very Sophia Loren chic, with the perfect tan, and hair, and fitted skirts and scarfs and red lipstick.

The article helping me pinpoint what made up that perfect look. Here are my favorites:
