As the golden hues of harvest season begin here in Northern California, Napa Valley transforms into a breathtaking tapestry of autumn splendor. The vineyards, cloaked in vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, beckon for a visit, and what better way to capture the magic of the season than with a photoshoot amidst this glorious fall foliage?

For this enchanting excursion, I chose to wear my exquisite Oktober 50’s Dress by Hell Bunny—a piece that feels as if it was crafted precisely for this moment in time. The fit of the Oktober 50’s Dress is nothing short of perfection. It zips smoothly up the back, and the deep pockets are both practical and delightfully unexpected. The pleats on the full circle skirt and bodice create a graceful silhouette, while the faux wrap top and under-bust seams delicately enhance my feminine curves. This dress is a celebration of vintage style, with a design that flatters in all the right places.

Wearing my standard 2XL Hell Bunny size, I found the dress to be a flawless fit, effortlessly accommodating an ample bust thanks to the cleverly designed overlapping fabric panels. The Oktober 50’s Dress is available up to size 4XL, making it a versatile and inclusive choice for women of all shapes and sizes.

The Castle – Visiting Ledson Winery in California

Living in gorgeous wine country California we are fortunate to have world-class wineries so close by and today we visited the exquisite Ledson Winery in the heart of Sonoma Valley wine country on HWY 12. The drive was beautiful; it was sunny and cool having just sprinkled in the morning. The vineyards are essentially bare sticks this time of year but still gorgeous to take in and it was a beautiful drive.

You can’t miss the Ledson Winery also known as The Castle!! It is a 16,000 sqft Gothic French-Normandy style winery and tasting room. The Castle is absolutely stunning!! Ample parking is provided and the grounds are exquisite with manicured lawns, trees, and florals. Restrooms are easily accessible and are also in the style of The Castle in a separate building right by the parking lot making it very convenient for those who drove a long distance. A gorgeous fountain is a focal point in the front and imagining what springtime is like here when the roses and flowers are blooming, a sweet smell in the air and the vineyards are lush with grapes is surely a dream.  We will certainly be back in the Spring and will post photos for you all.

Ferrari Carano Winery is about 30 miles from our home and is located in Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Valley in Healdsburg, CA. The winery is known for their Chardonnays, Sauvignon Blancs as well as reds and desert wines. Let me just say we were in complete delight when we pulled onto the property. The winery looks just like an Italian villa with grand arches, lots of architectural and ornamental details, beautiful windows and is surrounded by stunning ornamental gardens. There are several types of tastings offered, one of which can be experienced in the underground Enoteca Reserve Tasting Bar and you can see a remarkable barrel room on your way down and then there is the II Terrazzo terrace that overlooks the stunning formal gardens and vineyard offering tastings as well.

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.
