Spring has been incredible so far here in California. The weather has been warm and there’s been a breeze, flowers are blooming everywhere, and everyone is starting to get out again after being in lock down for so long. Gary and I headed out to shoot the new Hello Kitty collection for Erstwilder and I have to say I have loved Hello Kitty since I was a little girl. I remember going to the mall with my mom and sister and it was always such a special treat to stop into the Hello Kitty Sanrio store and just marvel at all the pretty pink Hello Kitty goodies!! We’d usually leave with some fancy Hello Kitty lip gloss, pencils decorated with Hello Kitty and her friends, and scented erasers that smelled like candy. Those were good times

The new Erstwilder x Hello Kitty collection is absolutely adorable. I paired my favorite pieces with my bright yellow dress from Collectif Clothing as I thought it all matched so nicely and is very cheerful. The wisteria flowers are in full bloom this time of year and Gary was so sweet to take my photos amongst them and all the bees!! The bees shared the flowers with us and I wish that scents could come over my computer because the smell of these sweet wisteria were magnificent. I’m wearing the adorable Hello Kitty Take to the Sky Necklace and it has her sitting in a bright yellow airplane flying with the fluffy clouds. Necklace is hand-assembled and features bubble resin, is adjustable and that is something I absolutely love and appreciate that Erstwilder have so much attention to detail.

🌈Somewhere Over the Rainbow🌈

Yasmina Greco Erstwilder Collection Crazy4Me
Yasmina Greco Erstwilder Collection Crazy4Me

Time to get happy and dance in the rain!! I’m thrilled to have partnered with Erstwildwer on this magical collection called Whatever the Weather designed by Jess Racklyeft. You all know just how much I love rainbows and color so this really is a perfect collection that I am so excited about it and it supports important causes like mental health at Headspace and Minus18Youth. 2020 has been a hard and very sad year for so many people that Erstwilder is doing what they do so well and that is spreading happiness and delight during these hard times with this brilliant new collection as well as donating a portion of the sales to Headspace and Minus18Youth. This collection instantly cheered me up when it arrived (we too have been dealing with situations out of our control involving the sickness of a loved one and with an already difficult 2020, times have felt pretty tragic) having special pieces like these that arrive in a custom box from so far away (Australia) really can lift the spirits and bring some joy to your day and you feel really good knowing that the proceeds support two important organizations. 

I am wearing the statement necklace called All the Way Across the Sky and I love just how large it is and the details of two seagulls on each end. The necklace is incredibly comfortable and comes on an adjustable chain. I am also wearing the most adorable brooch called Rainbow Ruff that has the body of a rainbow puppy dog and the head of an adorable doggy that is so cute and will melt your heart!! Jess Racklyeft is such a talented artist the other pieces in the collection are swoon worthy….. Wish I could have them all.

As with all Erstwilder pieces, these are limited edition and very high quality that are made in Melbourne, Australia. Collections do sell out very quickly and the Whatever the Weather collection also supports two organizations doing very important work so hurry to Erstwilder and snap up your favorites before they sell out.
A big thank you to my hubby Gary Greco for the super fun photoshoot!!

I am in awe of the talented Erstwilder artists and team. They release the most endearing collections that are so beautifully detailed and tell a story. The new Woodlands collection is exquisite and I am so excited to share it with you. My standout favorites are the Cuddle Time Necklace, Well Spotted brooch, and the Blue Jay Way brooch.

Erstwilder has turned me into an adoring fan of statement necklaces and theirs are adjustable and comfortable to wear. Just look at all the details in my Cuddle Time Necklace featuring a momma bear and her cub walking across the beautiful forest with green pine trees and snow capped mountains. I will definitely be wearing this piece all winter long. The Erstwilder artists are incredibly creative and talented, crafting such exquisite jewelry keepsake pieces.

I really am smitten with my Well Spotted brooch and it evokes feelings of being in a fairytale. This brooch is brilliant with it’s red dotted cap and it makes me want to spend a lovely day in a fairytale forest with some gnome friends. This brooch easily pairs with blouses, and cardigans, and even dresses. It is one of my go-to accessories!!

Yasmina Greco in Erstwilder Woodlands Collection The Blue Jay Way Brooch

This adorable little fellow won me over with his brilliant blue colors and proud stance. Being a natural forest dweller the Blue Jay Way brooch is perfection and such a wonderful addition to the Erstwilder Woodlands collection. The brooch is so lovely and easy to wear with sweaters, coats, and jumpers. Being the bluebird lover that I am, this adorable brooch was a must for my personal collection and I could not wait to scoop him up!!

This adorable range has been designed by Carmen and also includes matching Essential Earrings and scarves. I also love the new packaging that was specifically designed for this collection and features a woodlands theme on the boxes. As with all Erstwilder collections, they are made in Melbourne, Australia in limited quantities and they sell out very quickly so hurry on over and snap up your favorites while they are in stock as this adorable collection is already selling out!!

A big thank you to my husband Gary for all the wonderful photos.

Ride ’em Cowboy – Pinup Cowgirl Dress by Pigtails and Pirates

Yasmina Greco - Ride 'em Cowboy - Pinup Cowgirl Dress by Pigtails and Pirates

                    Yasmina Greco – Ride ’em Cowboy – Pinup Cowgirl Dress by Pigtails and Pirates

I had been in search of a cowgirl novelty print swing dress for quite sometime and when I saw this Pigtails and Pirates Ride’em Cowboy stunner I had to have it. The color is a deep vibrant red patterned with vintage pinup cowgirls in a variety of poses and settings. The sweetheart neckline is so feminine and figure flattering and accommodates a full bust nicely. The straps are also a nice size so you can wear your regular bra underneath.

The dress arrived very quickly all the way from Australia (I am in California) and was packaged with great care, it arrived just in time for a photo shoot I had been planning. For the shoot I styled this adorable cowgirl dress with a fun cowgirl hat and vintage lasso. I am wearing a petticoat for added flair though the swing skirt is a nice full size on its own.
