June is here and that means summertime!! I am really looking forward to summer and the seasonal change and yes, the fun summer dresses too. I like sunshine and warm weather (not too hot) but summertime in California is beautiful, especially where we live in gorgeous wine country. The vineyards are in full-bloom and lush with grapes and one of my favorite things to see are the manicured rows of vineyards on the rolling hills. Well this is a great segway into my post today as my sweet hubby Gary and I went over to the world famous Korbel winery for our photoshoot and everything was starting to bloom for summer.

I was excited to wear the new Art Nouveau jewelry collection from Erstwilder and just love the colors in my Royal Eye peacock colored plume necklace and Royal Eye brooch as they are stunning and really bring out the colors of my dress (dress is from Heart of Haute) and perfect for body positive curvy girls. Erstwilder works with the most talented designers and creators and the new collection really brings out the ornamental style, colors, and curved formats of the Art Nouveau style. Look how amazing my Le Chat Noir brooch is!! Hurry on over to Erstwilder and snap up your favorites because they do sell out fast!!

I don’t usually share too much about myself personally but the past few months have not been easy and I have recently been recovering from gallbladder surgery after spending a few days in the hospital. I am so grateful for my husband who took such good care of me and now I am back to feeling AMAZING and I think it really shows in these photos!! We have a lot of fun and new things we have been working on that we will be sharing soon. Hope you all are doing well and enjoying being able to go out and visit friends and family now that many places are starting to open up where COVID is under control. I know there are many places that are being impacted and the devastation is heartbreaking so I hope you all look out after each other and are safe.
