It has been a very busy couple of weeks with lots of shopping and holiday preparations. We spent an afternoon in Petaluma this past weekend shopping and enjoying the season. We shopped, had lunch and Christmas coffee too. I like dressing up but still being comfortable for holiday activities and today I am wearing my Lyra dress from Lady Voluptuous. I love the colors and print on this dress with bright florals and the fit… It is a wrap and you all know that is my go-to style,  it is flattering for all shapes but I find it especially fits perfectly on my curves. It was not very cold so I added a cropped cardigan in a complimentary color and off we went.

We found this super festive courtyard in downtown Petaluma and love the fountain with all the wonderful faces and of course the tree and mailbox for mailing letters to Santa. This is the time of year when stresses can certainly make us feel overwhelmed but it is super important to also slow down and take a moment to enjoy the season.

Hope all of you are doing ok this time of year. Remembering to be kind and sensitive to others can go a very long way and, we never really know how folks are feeling so acts of kindness can really mean so very much.
