Spring – Easter Dresses

Yasmina Greco Spring Easter Dress — Yasmina Greco

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.

Weekend Getaway – Healdsburg, CA

February 22, 2022 By: Fan

Hubby and I headed out for a lovely weekend getaway to Healdsburg, CA. We were excited to enjoy the perfect weather that we have been having in California. I love how Northern California is dotted with little towns that all have a charm and personality. My favorite are the wine country towns and soon the vineyards will be blooming and turning a lush green and then the grapes will start to grow. For our adventure today we headed to Healdsburg, CA, a delightful town that is always popular with tourists that come up from San Francisco to tour the multiple wineries, experience wine tasting’s, renowned spas, restaurants, and shopping. I wore my new Veronica Atomica dress by Sourpuss Clothing. The print on this dress is fantastic with bright turquoise blue starbursts against a stretchy, and twirly skirt, and it also has pockets. I love how figure-flattering this dress with the classic 1950s silhouette is sand, it is so comfortable. I added my blue cardigan, blue petticoat, and my blue purse and shoes for pops of color. I received so many compliments, it really made my day.

As the late afternoon approached the weather cooled off (we are still in February I keep reminding myself) and I put on my Mid-Century Retro Coffee Time turquoise blue cozy sweatshirt from Crazy4 Me Style (also available in t-shirts) that matched the dress perfectly as we headed to the coffee shop. Lots of folks asked about my sweatshirt and dress and wanted to know where they could get one. Wearing vintage-inspired designs matches my aesthetic perfectly and it is so nice when people respond to it and like it too!!

Merry Christmas Everyone

Yasmina Greco Pretty Retro Christmas Girl Pinup

Christmas time is here and that means a visit to one of our favorite places today, Grandma Buddies Christmas Tree Farm. This Christmas tree farm not only has loads of amazing trees, but they have a magical holiday barn decorated with gingerbread, flocked trees and wreaths, and lots and lots of decorations and special holiday touches. You can sip hot cocoa from their cocoa cart and walk around the farm to pick out your holiday tree.

On our visit today the sun came out for a little bit on this chilly December day, and we made the most of it by not only picking out our tree but also doing one last photo shoot of the year.

The theme for my outfit today was a mix of holiday cheer and half wonderland because my accessories are brooches from the Erstwilder Christmas collection and their brand-new Kitschy Witch collab for the Alice in Wonderland collection. I wore my crimson red holiday top and matched it up with my Alice in Wonderland vintage-inspired Pinup circle skirt and my turquoise blue coat added the much-needed warmth that day.

1960s Style Swan Dress from Pinup Girl Clothing

September 15, 2021 By: Fan

Pinup Girl Clothing has outdone themselves again with this beautiful Pinup Couture dress called the Swan Dress in mustard floral. The style reminds me of a glamorous 60s silhouette with the bishop sleeves and peasant top and this one is so good!!

The fabric on this dress is incredible; nice weight stretch crepe and it does not wrinkle!! The bodice is cut close to the body and the A line skirt is incredibly figure flattering for all body types. Being on the curvy side I am wearing my standard 2X size from Pinup Girl Clothing and the dress hugs me in all the right places. The peasant top accommodates a larger bust beautifully. You can wear the dress on the shoulder or off the shoulder very easily and it never feels like it will slip down. The dress is very well made and you cannot only see how high the quality is but when you wear it you can see how it fits every curve perfectly.

Summer Style in California

June 7, 2021 By: Fan

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!!

Yasmina Greco Casablanca Paris 237 New Balance Collaboration

I had so much fun this past weekend on our latest Pinup photoshoot and the location was the fabulous Korbel Winery Champagne Cellar right here in our backyard of wine country California. Hubby and I were photographing a new collection launching very soon that I can’t talk too much about just yet but I will share more about very soon, and we did an impromptu sneaker shoot too.

Casablanca Paris 237 New Balance Collaboration

Nothing makes me happier than when I can combine a photoshoot with clothing, accessories, and shoes. Specifically an amazing pair of sold out fabulous sneakers. Here are some photos of the brand new silhouette Idealiste 237 Light Monogram Casablanca & New Balance Balance Collaboration. The light Casablanca Paris monogram green, dual stripe midsole detail with pink and green, gold lace tips, and embroidered branding on the heel. Inspiration for the design is said to have come from Casablanca founder and creative director, Charaf Tajer’s French and Moroccan heritage. The shoe sold out immediately but Gary managed to score us a pair!! If you are not familiar with the brand Casablanca Paris they are a brand that combines lux and leisurewear in amazing prints and fabulous colors. Take a look at their fashion shows and lookbooks.

Here are some pictures from our photoshoot and you can see just how perfectly they match my outfit. And yes, you can wear a runway worthy mainstream sneaker with a vintage 50s inspired dress and petticoat!! The shoe is incredibly comfortable too, it felt like I was walking on marshmallow clouds. Amazing style and comfort.

A big thank you to Gary for all these fun and fabulous pictures.

Stay tuned for more blog posts as we have been working on lots of fun and amazing things the past few weeks. Also, for those of you following our Great San Francisco Pizza Tour of 2021 we have lots of new reviews and pizzas to share!!
