Barrel Tasting Blossoms

It's barrel tasting season out in wine country, and the weather can't be beat! I went out expecting it to be cool and chilly, but I was pleasantly surprised by the all the blossoms in bloom and sunshine goodness! With so much yummy food and libations, I sure was happy to have been in this easy, plaid dress.

The Fringed 70's Bohemian Wrap

Strolling the grounds of a local art residence, we stopped to take photos in this strange little walkway. I guess it's usually canopied in flowers and vines, but in winter the bare stalks look kind of neat! This gorgeous, vintage wrap was the perfect prescription for keeping warm and cozy. I think it may be alpaca, but it's exactly what I've been wanting to add to my closet. It's what to wear when you know you should spend sometime outdoors, but really want to keep that cozied up feeling. While we were on our little walking tour of this villa, a lady told me that she once had a wrap like this in the 70's, but used to belt it around her waist and wear it like an asymmetrical skirt. I just love that idea!

Subtle Vintage Accessories

This past weekend I had the pleasure of snapping up some photos of my sister, Tracy. I love photographing her because she's always got a lot of interesting details in her outfit, and typically some subtle but amazing vintage. She picked up those one-of-a-kind frames at the Vintage Expo a couple of years back, and had her own prescription placed in. Also, check out that vintage MCM shoulder bag she's carrying! It's a perfect tan color, and ideal for carrying a laptop, too!
