Fashion Should Be Fun - Style Over 40

Our Anniversary

March 27, 2025

This month, my husband and I celebrated 13 years of happy marriage! We headed for a day trip to Sausalito, but decided to just keep driving and check out a few towns we’d never been to. We had so much fun! I went to Larkspur, San Anselmo, and Fairfax which are all adorable towns nestled in the Marin County hills. If you end up there one day, I’d highly suggest Donut Alley in Larkspur for the best donuts (thanks for Cathy of Bay Area Fashionista for this tip) and Perry’s for lunch.

It’s that time of year when everything feels like it needs a spring refresh: my wardrobe and my home! I was putting together some mood boards for decor ideas for this spring/summer and just thought I would share.

Casual OOTD Collage

March 17, 2025

Putting together cute outfits is just totally fun for me. Mostly I do it with items in my closet, but sometimes it’s also fun to try to coordinate a look with a collage. I usually just share these on the LTK app (you can search and download the LTK app, it’s completely free), but this time around I thought I’d share on my blog as well.

Wait … what?!! Browns for spring this year? Yes! Tones of brown, tan, and taupe are big right now and a fun way to update your wardrobe with neutrals that will last longer than the latest trend.

Solawave Review

February 26, 2025

Can I be honest? I’m really bad at skincare reviews. For one, I’m too vain to do close up before and after photos. Also, I’m just too honest for most skincare companies. I once had a skincare brand ask to to tell my readers that their product “changed my life” … LOL. It was a good product, but it did not change my life. I wouldn’t say that and they never wanted to work with me again.

However, I do love trying out new products, so when Solawave asked if they could send me their device with no pressure to post about it, I decided to give it a try.

Instagrammable Coffee in Downtown San Jose

February 23, 2025

Here are a few of my favorite places to enjoy a civilized and pretty cup of coffee in downtown San Jose.

Nirvana Soul

The atmosphere is totally charming with a hot pink logo and the coolest mural. The staff at Nirvana Soul is especially warm and welcoming. Be sure to make your way upstairs to the cute loft space. All the pastries are delicious and they make my favorite cappuccino.
