lunch at Robert Mondavi Winery

One of the highlights of our trip to the Napa Valley was a fantastic luncheon at Robert Mondavi Winery. We were there as part of a group my husband belongs to, Confrerie De La Chaine Des Rotisseurs. The food was incredible and the vertical tasting of the 2008 Robert Mondavi Winery Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve and the 1998 Robert Mondavi Winery Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve was beyond. Which one do you prefer?

Big question was what to wear? White skinnies again to the rescue, Christian Louboutin flat sandals and a linen blouse had me feeling comfortable and confident. Check out my new friend from Texas and her color block look! Even she had on skinnies with her Crush Linen Jacket and Tank.

One of the best parts? Margrit Mondavi greeting her guests and telling us that there are many more old winemakers than there are old doctors. Salut!

happy mother’s day to all

After a long day of traveling from Phili the last thing I felt like doing was putting together an outfit for dinner out. In comes outfit memory: same outfit I wore while in Phili the night before. Comfort clothes silk blouse, great clutch bag, and kicking shoes. Standard white skinnies and done.

Okay, so husband says he won’t go out with me if I wear the green ones, what do you think? The ones on the right I truly love but they were a half size too big. That never happens to me! Would love to have that pair but would need the right size. sigh.

it’s a turtleneck but it’s not black

Springtime in Buffalo can still be cold. Thought I had put away the turtlenecks for good. Oh, well, sometimes you just can’t beat the ease of a classic. Lightened the mood with white skinny jeans. My total go to just about every day.

  • Worth New York suede and leather jacket
  • JCrew toothpick jeans, new
  • Christian Loboutin leopard print flats, very old
