New York Style Pepperoni Pizza at Acre Pizza

We are taking a journey to Northern San Francisco, California to visit the city’s hidden gems. Our first stop is Acre Pizza for their famous 72 hour fermented dough pizza pies.

New York Style Pepperoni Pizza at Acre Pizza

Pizza is a universal favorite and we all have our own way of making it, topping it, or eating it. It’s great because there are so many different styles to choose from- thin crust, deep dish, stuffed crust…just to name a few! Acre Pizza serves up New York and Detroit style pies and uses California grown ingredients, old world baking techniques, and that famous 72 hour fermented dough for a light and crispy crust that will leave your taste buds delighted and satisfied.

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.

Retro Girl Wearing Raibow Care Bears — Yasmina Greco Rainbow Care Bear

I might be grumpy before my morning coffee. I enjoy coffee, especially my husband’s coffee that he makes us every single morning. He’s our master barista and makes us a 4-shot espresso café mocha every single morning and it is fabulous!! So, when I saw this adorable brooch “Good Morning, Grumpy Bear” from the brand new Erstwilder x Care Bears collection I was smitten!! I mean look how adorable he is with his grumpy little face holding his coffee mug. I knew this cutie was for me and I could not wait to wear him and pair him up with my vintage blue Pyrex starburst coffee mug. Morning perfection!!

Retro Rainbow Sweater Girl — Yasmina Greco Rainbow Erstwilder Care Bears 2.0

The Erstwilder x Care Bears collection is adorable and takes me straight back to my childhood. These bears debuted in the 80s and were so colorful and cuddly. Erstwilder has done an incredible job of bringing each bears’ unique personality and colors to life in this new collection. Look how sweet this Loyal Heart Dog brooch is…. His aqua blue color and adorable face with a heart above his eye. This lil cutie is true blue!!

You all know how I love a good necklace and this Huggable Necklace trio featuring Grumpy Bear, Love-A-Lot Bear, and Lucky Charm Bear makes my day! The colors are so bright and cheerful. If you are a curvy girl then Erstwilder necklaces are for you because they are adjustable and, in my opinion, big curves need big jewelry.

I also got this super sweet Cheer Bear in the Sky brooch, and it makes me smile each time I look at it. The pretty pink bear flying her rainbow heart balloon are delightful and I will be wearing this one a lot. It is so fun to take a trip down memory lane with the Care Bears and all their retro goodness. Hurry on over to Erstwilder scoop up your favorites while they are in stock because you know these will sell out!!

✨Collecting Holt Howard Pixieware and Whimsical Kitchen Kitsch✨

There aren’t many kitchen collectibles from the 1950s and 1960s that excite me as much as Pixieware does. From the jam ‘n jelly jars with their little tongues licking the sweet jelly residue from their lips, to the instant coffee pixie jar, relish pixie jar, or the jolly girl set, manufacturers like Holt-Howard, Davar, Lefton, Lipper & Mann, Norcrest, Napco and Menschik Goldman to name a few, displayed creativity at its finest and what thinking outside the box is supposed to be when it comes to dreaming up the colorful creations of the era. Pixieware has been a hot collectible and the enthusiasm continues till this day!!

The Perfect Gingham Dress for Summer

June 14, 2021 By: Fan

Yasmina Greco in Collectif Clothing Roberta Gingham Swing Dress

When I wear gingham, I feel like sunshine and picnics. Nothing says hello summer more than a pretty gingham dress. In fact, gingham is the biggest trend of the season and it never goes out of style. It’s the first weekend of June, and the weather couldn’t be more perfect for a day out with my sweet hubby Gary, so I am wearing my new 50s inspired Roberta Gingham Swing Dress from Collectif Clothing.

Slipping into this beautiful dress I feel so feminine and dainty. The dress has a lovely sweetheart neckline and pretty white-collar detail, and the sleeves are short and also have the pretty white detail. I love how the bodice nips my waist in and the flared swing skirt is so flowy and breezy. The dress also has pockets and a belt. I love how the dress fits and how comfortable it is and that it fits my full bust without any problem. I styled the dress simply (it does not need anything) I am wearing a petticoat underneath as I enjoy a full skirt and then added some basic heels and my little pink summery purse and that is it. A 1950s silhouette is my favorite as it accentuates my curves in all the right places and has so much vintage style and Collectif Clothing is a size inclusive UK brand too with their vintage inspired clothing offered in sizes XS-22.

We drove up north for a lovely day in wine country and wandered around the little town of Healdsburg alongside the tourists that come up from San Francisco. I had so many ladies stop to compliment me and tell me how pretty my dress is and how much they liked it. Everyone loves a pretty gingham dress and this one is a showstopper!! Hurry on over to Collectif Clothing and snap yours up before they are all sold out. I have some more pretty dresses coming and can’t wait to share them with you all. Hope you all are having a great start to your summer.
