Yasmina Greco San Francisco Chinatown Puma Supreme

I am so excited to share our Lunar New Year photo shoot we shot in San Francisco’s Chinatown. The inspiration for this photo shoot are the Puma RS-X Chinese New Year sneakers. The remixed cubed sneaker with brilliant red, black and gold couldn’t be more perfect for celebrating the Chinese New Year and my red Supreme hoodie with the gold Supreme is totally on point and really makes my outfit.

It was a very windy and cold day in San Francisco’s Chinatown but that did not keep the celebrating from being full of happiness and cheer. Dragons and fireworks were abounded and the delicious smells and sense of mystery were in the air. My sweet hubby Gary Greco shot these amazing pictures of me and I hope it gives you all a looking into our day in San Francisco’s Chinatown for Lunar New Year.

The highly anticipated Valentine’s Day collection from Erstwilder is here!! For this particular collection Erstwilder has really exceeded expectations. The pieces from this collection are beautiful and so sweet and come in the most adorable heart-shaped box making them perfect for gifting.

I teamed up with Erstwilder to share some pictures of just some of their new Valentine’s Day collection brooches and if you see any you like then hurry on over to Erstwilder and snap them up because you know they will sell out quickly!!

I am wearing the cutest pink swans brooch “My Little Love” and the details are so magnificent.

How “Stinking Cute” is this brooch of a skunk holding a red glittery heart. I think this is one of my favorites from the new collection!!

And how adorable is this Dalmatian puppy dog “One in One Hundred and One” just melts my heart.

Mid-Century Modern Plaid

Yasmina Greco The Astro Motel in Sourpuss Clothing

I love a good plaid and it isn’t always easy to find them in non-Christmas colors. Well, Sourpuss Clothing has a fantastic selection of everyday plaids and they are available in dresses and skirts and I couldn’t be more excited to share with you this epic photo shoot by my sweet hubby Gary Greco and the incredible mid-century modern location!!

We shot these outfits at the out-of-this-world The Astro Motel right here in beautiful Santa Rosa, CA in gorgeous wine country. The Astro Motel is one our favorite go-to locations for fashion shoots (and we always recommend it to friends and family from out of town) I’ve done a previous photo shoot post where you can see pictures and read more here. The Astro Motel is a delightful mid-century modern themed motel that takes you back to yesteryear but with the modern comforts of today. The motel is close to shopping, restaurants, antiquing, and wine tasting. The staff at the motel are incredibly attentive and so sweet. There is an awesome game room where you can have coffee and snacks, read, and play board games. You’ll definitely enjoy your stay at this fabulous one-of-a-kind motel.

For my second outfit I am wearing the Sourpuss Plaid Bonnie Skirt Purple. The shade of purple is so pretty on the Bonnie skirt. I styled it with my black bombshell blouse, vintage inspired purple heels and purse for a true 1950s vixen outfit. I also took it to another level by styling the skirt in a street style way with athleisure top and the just released Nike Air Max 90 sneakers in Hyper Grape. The skirt is a lovely circle skirt and has pockets that are nice and deep. Fabric is also a lovely flannel plaid and 100% cotton. The skirt also comes in yellow in size XS-3XL and has really nice movement and you can see that here.

Gary and I had so much fun styling and shooting these outfits at The Astro Motel. The rooms all have true mid-century Eames era décor from desks, lighting, chairs, tables, artwork, and accessories. Wall mounted mid-century bubble ball coat racks, sputnik lamps above the sink, and even retro style wall tile. We especially loved this custom shower curtain with map and details of Santa Rosa made by a local artist. Attention to detail at this motel is incredible!!

Museum of Ice Cream in San Francisco

My hubby Gary and I spent a fun filled afternoon at the Museum of Ice Cream in San Francisco this weekend. I wore my new Nike Air Max 270 React Light Orewood Brown/Sail/Khaki/Hyper Crimson. These are actually my very first pair of Nike Air Max 270 React sneakers that my hubby gifted me.

We were on our feet for several hours at the Museum of Ice Cream and wondering around the interactive installations. The shoes put a nice pep in my step especially in the heel area as that is where the air unit is housed. I found the shoes to be incredibly light and airy and quite comfortable. Yep, wearing men’s shoes and I love how Nike makes shoes that are unisex!

The shoe colors of Light Orewood Brown/Sail/Khaki/Hyper Crimson are super fun and easy to match up to make an outfit. We took several pictures for you all. The Museum of Ice Cream has some fun Instagram worthy posing opportunities like the chic pink living room, the retro looking diner with glittery pink stools and there is ice cream to sample in every one of these rooms, the sprinkle pool, the alphabet cookie room, wall murals and so much more.

You can see my Nike Air Max 270 React sneakers in action in these shots and I love that the museum is pink themed and it matched up really nicely with the color on the shoes!! There were also other guests that were wearing their Nike Air Max 270 React sneakers so Nike clearly knows how to make stylish and comfortable shoes.

I now have a lust list started of all the other Nike Air Max 270 React sneakers I must have!! Hope you all have a great week!!

Valentines Day Inspiration

January 18, 2020 By: Fan

I always think of Valentines Day being a day about love and fun. I love all the novelty decorations and outfits and of course the chocolates that come in the heart-shaped box (they just taste better coming out of a heart-shaped box) and of course the beautiful flowers.

For this year’s Valentines Day I am wearing a super fun and curvy girl friendly themed dress from Lady V London. My dress is the Lyra in Navy Lips and it is a wrap dress. My dress is sold out but you can still scoop up a similar lip print dress from Lady V London in the Eva Dress, Tea Dress, Rose Dress, or Phoebe Dress. Lady V London does ship internationally so order today to have your dress in time for Valentines Day.

The Castle – Visiting Ledson Winery

January 8, 2020 By: Fan

Living in gorgeous wine country California we are fortunate to have world-class wineries so close by and today we visited the exquisite Ledson Winery in the heart of Sonoma Valley wine country on HWY 12. The drive was beautiful; it was sunny and cool having just sprinkled in the morning. The vineyards are essentially bare sticks this time of year but still gorgeous to take in and it was a beautiful drive.

You can’t miss the Ledson Winery also known as The Castle!! It is a 16,000 sqft Gothic French-Normandy style winery and tasting room. The Castle is absolutely stunning!! Ample parking is provided and the grounds are exquisite with manicured lawns, trees, and florals. Restrooms are easily accessible and are also in the style of The Castle in a separate building right by the parking lot making it very convenient for those who drove a long distance. A gorgeous fountain is a focal point in the front and imagining what springtime is like here when the roses and flowers are blooming, a sweet smell in the air and the vineyards are lush with grapes is surely a dream. We will certainly be back in the Spring and will post photos for you all.

Ledson Winery produces 70+ plus wines including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Barbera, Malbec, Meritage, and Rosé to name a few with prices ranging from $18-$250. They have a wine club that sounds incredible full of options so you can select what works for you as well as offer a variety of tastin g s on the property from private (we must experience this) to several rooms inside The Castle which is architecturally as stunning as the outside and include fireplaces, lovely hard wood floors, crown moldings, gorgeous chandeliers and a breathtaking staircase where the interior feels incredibly luxe but presented in a warm and welcoming way. I promise the next time we visit that we will include photos of the interiors but for now you can view here at – Ledson Winery

The staff at Ledson Winery is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and so polite. We were welcomed right in and offered a variety of tastings as well as a stroll through the marketplace where we could put a picnic together to enjoy on the property and there is a variety of wines, cheeses, sandwiches, soda pops, and selections of fine olive oils, mustards, desert sauces and more. We left with these fabulous olive oils and sauces. I already cooked with the Meyer Lemon olive oil and it is truly scrumptious and now I am excited to try our Persian Lime olive oil!! We also left with some chocolate and caramel sauces.

We spent time exploring the immaculate grounds and gardens and I wore my Sourpuss Clothing dress in the Haunted Diamond Veronica Print in my standard 2X size and it fit my curves beautifully. It was a little chilly so I added a cardigan. The patrons at the winery were so complimentary of my outfit. It was such a stunning afternoon spent with my sweet hubby Gary in this truly magical location.

Ledson Winery would make a great day trip if you were visiting San Francisco, as it is approx. 50 miles north of the city. Ledson Winery really does have something for everyone from an incredible wine selection and wine tasting experience for every budget as well as a market place where you can put a picnic together to enjoy or stroll the lovely grounds and enjoy the architecture. You will enjoy your time at Ledson Winery. Let us know when you visit and we’d love to see your photos too!! You can read more here about the history of Ledson Winery and the incredible families, it is a beautiful story.
