Wine Country

Took a little trip up north to Napa for some wine tasting on Friday with bf & his family. Our first stop was V. Sattui where we shopped their large selection of wine, cheese and charcuterie. We dined on the winery's premises at one of their rustic picnic tables while we enjoyed the lovely scenic views and beautiful weather. We made a couple of more quick stops at some other nearby wineries for more tasting and made our last stop at the Hess Collection to view their current modern art exhibit.

 
Wearing: 
DIY Dress. (similar here & here). 
This was a super easy dress to make because it's basically a very long tank top with a slit on each side. My last project gave me a headache so I wanted to do something quick and easy this time around. This dress only took a few hours to pattern, cut, sew and finish. Just to give you a comparison, a sheath dress with lining will usually take me about 2 days to make so a few hours is very quick in my book.
J. Crew Belt. (similar here)
F21 necklace. (similar here)
Nine West Sandals. (similar here & here)

    Ok, no joking here...I thought this was a Free People dress. Another impressive project.

    Wine and cheese...yum! What a gorgeous place to visit.

    So gorgeous! The dress and accessories were perfect for Napa. I swear I took the exact pics in front of the fountain and vines when I last visited. Great minds think alike!

    Your dress turned out beautifully and I see you found a pretty crochet fabric too!

    A went to V. Sattui too! A friend of his was visiting SF so they went off together. I stayed home with the kiddos :)
