Never one to go the traditional route, I have strayed away from green and red and have been inspired by some lovely metallic and dark toned dresses to make up my selection of 7 Favorite Plus Size Holiday Dresses. Of course, these all have a vintage/retro flare!

Out Takes: Holiday Time

After a long dry summer, California is finally getting some much needed rain —  making it really feel like fall. One of my favorite things to do is curl up on the couch with a warm fuzzy blanket while watching something on Netflix as it pours outside. Knowing you don’t have to be in it, makes rain so inviting.

These photos are Out Takes from a photo shoot from 2012 entitled, “A Very Victorian Christmas.” In this shoot I visited a local working farm and historical house, called Ardenwood. I grew up visiting this site and especially loved going for Christmas, when they decorate the house for the holidays. I hope to try and make it this year.
