Yasmina Greco Apple Airpods Max Headphones

When my sweet hubby Gary gifted me with these stunning pink Apple Airpods Max headphones for Valentine’s Day I was speechless and beyond excited!! Deep down I really wanted a pair of Airpods Max headphones and could imagine myself matching them with my outfits and how fabulous they would be so spoiler alert – They 100% are living up to my expectation.I also am extremely lucky to have such a generous and loving husband!!

I really like how easy to use the Airpods Max headphones are. Gary helped me pair them up with my iPhone and within seconds I was transported to another world of audio quality. Being someone who doesn’t really notice the differences from one pair of headphones to the next, or over-the-ear headphones compared to in-ear headphones or buds, I did immediately noticed how special these Airpods Max headphones are and how incredibly noise cancelling they are too!! Airpods Max also has spatial audio so when I move head or look left to right for example the audio sounds like it is coming from all around and it is so cool and I’ve been mostly experiencing it with my iPhone and iPad!! If you mention using spatial audio with the headphones. It doesn’t work with the Apple TV yet, but works really good tied to your bigger screen iPhone or iPad.

Let’s talk for a moment about comfort and functionality. My pink Airpods Max headphones have got to be the most comfortable pair of headphones I have ever owned. They feel luxurious on my ears with cups that fit smoothly and feel like clouds over my ears. I have no problem wearing them with large earrings either. The headpiece is a very fine yet solid mesh design that feels light on top of my head and I can wear the headphones for hours. They are so comfortable. The right ear cup has the play and pause button that looks like the digital crown on the Apple Watch so with a turn of the wheel you can control the music volume too. The Airpods Max headphones are incredibly well made with high quality aluminium and metal. The fit and finish of these headphones is ultra premium and you not only see it, feel it, but can hear it too. The Airpods Max headphones come in five sleek colors of pink, space gray, silver, sky blue, and green and totally can match with your iPhone and outfits.

Norcrest Blue Cat Collection

February 20, 2021 By: Fan

I am really excited to share my vintage Norcrest Blue Cat collection with you all today and share some tips for collecting and finding pieces from this set. The darling kitty cat set has whimsical pieces like a butter dish that has a cute blue kitty cat sleeping on a fluffy pillow, the tea bag holder that says “I Will Hold The Bag” and a pair of oil and vinegar cruets that have cutest little cat faces. This set brings a smile to my face everyday!!

The Norcrest Blue Cat set was manufactured in Japan in the mid to late 1950s and possibly early 1960s by the PY/Miyao company and was sold by Norcrest. The Norcrest Blue Cat set is elusive in some ways to complete as it was not produced in mass quantities in Japan like so many other ceramics of the era. Each piece is usually numbered on the bottom that starts with a “CT” and if you can find a piece that still has its original Norcrest foil label then that makes it even more fabulous. The kitty cat pieces are absolutely adorable and you can see why any collector would rather not part with their collection.

Queen Bee

February 9, 2021 By: Fan

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.

Reach out to me on Instagram @crazy4me and let me know what your favorite color combinations are or combos you might not be sure how to wear, and even tell me your favorite pieces of jewelry and how you style them.

Visiting San Francisco and Fisherman’s Wharf During COVID-19

San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf January 30, 2021 — San Francisco Fisherman’s Wharf January 30, 2021

Saturday, January 30, 2021 my sweet hubby Gary and I decided to head into San Francisco and spend a fun day in the city. It’s the first time since before March 2020 that we’ve been in downtown San Francisco because everything went into lockdown due to the Covid pandemic. Just 2 days ago the Governor started allowing some businesses to reopen and outdoor dining to resume but we are still in the purple tier so the utmost precautions, masks, and social distancing is a must.

It had rained that morning but was already drying out with sunshine starting to come through as we made the 50 mile drive into the city. The drive was pretty quiet. Not too much traffic as folks appeared to still be staying home for the most part. The blue sky was brilliant and the sun was out as we made our way over the Golden Gate Bridge.

We had the most beautiful January day with temperatures near 80 degrees and lots of gorgeous sunshine!! With all the craziness going on, it sure felt amazing to get out, walk around, and get fresh air in the cute town of Petaluma, CA.

My hubby Gary and I headed out on this gorgeous day for a photoshoot of my Nike Air Force 1 Low 3M collab sneakers and this adorable Cakeworthy dress with a cute print of The Child aka Baby Yoda or Grogu from Star Wars The Mandalorian; a series hubby and I have enjoyed so much. The dress is very comfy and it was my first time trying out the Cakeworthy brand. My dress is The Child Button Up Dress and available in Small-4XL. I love the Grogu print and that this dress has some stretch for busty gals to button up the front. I love a good fun print so I will definitely check out Cakeworthy again. Shipping was really fast and my dress was packaged with care. Dressing curvy girls is not always easy and I love that Cakeworthy are size inclusive!!

Yasmina Greco in Erstwilder Purple Rose Neckalce

Happy New Year!! I love starting the new year with flowers as it signifies a fresh start to a new year and I am sooooo ready for that. Hope your New Year is off to a terrific start.

Hubby and I did a recent Spring themed photoshoot and I am really happy to be partnering again with Erstwilder, my go-to retro vintage inspired jewelry team. I have shared many posts on my blog about the incredible limited edition collections that Erstwilder creates all the way in Melbourne, Australia and today I am really excited to show you my new pieces from the 2021 Flowers collection.

My Purple Rose Necklace is spectacular with its beautiful deep purple color and the craftsmanship of the flower petals!! The necklace is adjustable and very comfortable to wear. I think curvy girls should not shy away from pretty necklaces because when you pair it with the right neckline on a dress or sweater it can really be a stunning accessory. Erstwilder has me speechless at their amazing creativity and the pace they release limited edition collections that are high quality, stunning, and one of the only plus size jewelry manufacturers!!
