Salute to American Graffiti classic car show in Petaluma

Salute to American Graffiti classic car show in Petaluma
Salute to American Graffiti classic car show in Petaluma

This weekend, the town of Petaluma will shine with a display of vintage and custom hot rods for the American Graffiti Car Show.

The Salute to American Graffiti car show in Petaluma is a must-see for classic car enthusiasts. With hundreds of cars on display, there’s something for everyone to love. This year’s show was extra special, as last couple of years the show didn’t happen because of COVID so everyone was ready and excited this year and they came out in droves!! It was also our first car show in 3 years. If you’re a fan of vintage cars, this show is not to be missed!

The event is put on by volunteers that raise funds for local community projects while paying homage to the 1973 movie American Graffiti by Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and a cast we all know today featuring Ron Howard, Harrison Ford, Richard Dreyfuss, Suzanne Summers, Cindy Williams, Wolfman Jack, and more! Petaluma is where most of the movie was filmed.

Being a curvy girl I used to shy away from bright colors and statement jewelry pieces because I wasn’t sure I could pull them off. I learned that I sure can pull them off because it is all about wearing the right colors for my skin tone, wearing the right silhouette for my curvy figure, and accessorizing with the right scale jewelry pieces.

A great color combo that I especially like are yellow and green. I am wearing my lovely daisy floral dress from Heart of Haute that has lots of yellows and greens and paired it with a bright yellow cardigan. Because the dress top fits like a wrap (perfect for big boobs) I added this gorgeous bee necklace to accessorize my outfit with. I love a great retro inspired dress or Pinup dress because the styles from the 1950s are extremely flattering and Heart of Haute is also size inclusive. I think it just screams Spring and it makes me excited that warmer weather and sunshine are on the way.

My bee necklace is a large scale pendant that fits very nicely on a plus size curvy figure. If the bee pendant were smaller it would get lost on me, but, having the right scale pendant really makes a difference on a curvy figure. Also, the necklace is adjustable so it can be made longer or shorter and having length as an option is a really nice feature. I also paired my necklace with matching bee earrings to complete the set. My jewelry is from Erstwilder and they make very high quality pieces that flatter all bodies, especially curvy full figures.

The Pretty Dress Company Figure Flattering Vintage-Inspired Dresses

April 27, 2022 By: Fan

The Pretty Dress Company Myla Dress

Springtime in California is marvelous. The sun shines brightly but not too hot and there is a gentle breeze blowing. Everything is blooming and the air is perfumed with jasmine, roses, and orange blossoms. The vineyards here in wine country are just starting to bloom and what could be better than getting all dolled up in a figure flattering dress by Pretty Dress Company and spending the day at the stunning Ferrari Carano winery.

There’s something about a pretty dress that just makes everything feel a little more magical. Maybe it’s the way they swish and sway when you walk, or the way they make you feel feminine and beautiful. A day at the winery is all about dressing up in your prettiest dress and enjoying a day of wine tasting and relaxation.

That’s why I was excited to collaborate with the UK based Pretty Dress Company as they make vintage-inspired clothing that is figure flattering, chic, and makes you feel magical. I had selected a couple of dresses to review and style, and they came very quickly (within a couple of days) all the way from the UK to California. I decided to wear this cobalt blue Myla dress because the blue color is so vivid and lovely and I thought it would really pop for a trip to the vineyards.

The Myla dress has a classic silhouette with a very full circle skirt, v neck, and fitted bodice. I was not sure which size to order and decided to order one size up and I am very glad that I did as the dress fit a bit tight on my bust but was still very comfortable and the fabric has a little stretch as it is made from stretch lux crepe. The Pretty Dress Company does offer sizing up to 20 UK. The dress is also lined and has pockets and barely wrinkles. The fabric and dress construction are very high quality. The Myla dress is available in multiple colors and will become a staple as it is very elegant and versatile and can be worn to formal functions as well as to the office (many are returning to the office these days) especially when having to conduct meetings or present at conferences, and even out to dinner. Accessorize the dress with a colorful cardigan, shoes, purse, and jewelry and it becomes a fun day dress to wear with lots of classic style.

Ferrari Carano winery is an incredibly beautiful Italian style winery with a magnificent vineyard and the property has the most incredible gardens and waterfalls. You can see more photos and read more about the winery in a previous post here and to see what wintertime looks like you can see it here. We had a perfect day and I received so many compliments in my pretty dress. I felt so comfortable and effortlessly chic in this dress.

Hurry over to The Pretty Dress Company and snap up your Myla and some other beautiful styles. Be sure to view the size charts and reach out and ask TPDC about sizing if you are unsure and their friendly team will gladly assist you. I will share another review with you all when I show you the whimsical Elsie Gingham dress so stay tuned for that. Hope you all are having a lovely Spring!!

Yasmina Greco Spring Easter Dress

Dresses are one my favorite pieces of clothing! I love how feminine and easy to wear dresses are and with a few accessories you have a complete outfit. Wrap dresses are my ultimate fave however and if you’ve been reading my blog for a while you know how much I appreciate a wrap dress because they really are a curvy girls best friend (you can see past wrap dresses here, here, here, and here).

Springtime dresses have such pretty floral prints and soft colors. My mother would take my sister and I shopping for new Spring and Easter dresses when we were kids and we’d wear them to family dinners and special events. I still get myself some pretty Spring – Easter dresses every year and it makes me so excited when brands release their collections for the new season.

Yasmina Greco - How You Treat People
Yasmina Greco – How You Treat People

The biggest impact we have on people is how we make them feel. No one will remember the purse you carried, the dress you were wearing, how your nails were polished, or the shoes you wore. But they will always remember how you made them feel. Treat everyone with kindness, have compassion, be empathetic, and be positive. These are the true things that have impact on people.
