Fashion: Fall Wear 2018

Published by

Living in a techy city like San Francisco, the best approach to fashion is to fit in. Meaning to say that SOMA (south of Market) the dress code is more comfortable and functional. Which I completely appreciate after years of my corporate ensemble while employed in the financial district. So, shopping for these transitional weekday work wear to weekend hangouts is the most fun I have, especially online.

Fashion: Ted Baker Hints of Fall

Published by

I walked into a Ted Baker store in London in May and immediately fell impressed with the clothing line and since then, I’ve ordered this and that from their U.S. online shop. But now, I am considering a few of their Fall/Winter fashion.  I get it, you might be thinking it’s too soon to think about anything past back to school and the Long (Labor Day) Weekend (US) – but planning ahead is always a good idea and sometimes even fun when shopping is involved:

Being a city girl, I normally opt for a simple black cardigan when I put on a dress, but that day I decided to dress it up to a season appropriate color, salmon and then  two days later – since the dress is my favorite – I chose a sort of mulled wine tone and I couldn’t be happier.
