Winters in California Wine Country

Ferrari-Carano Vineyard Winery Yasmina Greco

Winters in California couldn’t be more perfect!! Although we don’t get snow it still gets chilly and that calls for a nice warm coat. The vineyards have lost most of their leaves by now but are still breathtaking. We took a drive out to Ferrari-Carano winery and it did not disappoint, just look at the scenery!! As usual the property is immaculately groomed. Inside the cellar is all decorated for Christmas and it is exquisite. There are even Betty Boop ornaments on the trees!! We took some pictures and met some lovely folks who were so complimentary about my outfit and style. It is always so much fun to meet people out and about.

Ready for a Alpine Holiday

Yasmina Greco Lindy Bop Vivi Alpine Swing Dress

Hi friends!! How is your holiday season going? I have been so busy with all sorts of activities, photoshoots and getting ready for Christmas. This really is my favorite time of the year and all I could think of was Alpine holiday cabin for this Lindy Bop collaboration in the ‘Vivi’ Alpine Lodge Print Swing Dress.

The ‘Vivi’ was a new style for me. I thought it was elegant with its lovely details and very pretty and the print on the swing skirt was quite stunning with its Alpine themed boarder and the cutest children, rolling green hills and goats. I wasn’t sure how the fit would be on my breasts so I looked at the size chart for quite a while and chose a size larger than I normally would so that it would fit and the bonus was that the bodice was a wrap style so, no other cut makes a curvy girl as happy as a wrap. The dress is made from a stretchy poly fabric that has a nice sheen to it and a full swing skirt. The dress was very roomy on my waist and I easily belted it with the pretty removable belt that came with it. The dress was  very comfortable and  I like that it had a bit of a formal fit to it and am sure it would make a great party dress with its fabulous skirt. I am wearing a petticoat underneath as I love the fluffy volume it adds and shows off the gorgeous boarder print.

I am wearing a wonderful wrap dress in these photos called ‘Dawn’ Navy Cherry Polka Dot Swing Dress . As a women with ample curves , wrap dresses are my go-to style. This pretty print is a dark navy blue covered with ripe red cherries. I couldn’t resist this one. I love the way it hugs my curves, emphasizes my waist and flatters my shape. The dress is made from a medium very stretchy jersey fabric making it perfect for Autum and chilly weather and doesn’t wrinkle much at all.  Oh, and did I mention the price….. under $50!!
