Excited to be featured in Latina Magazine - Worldwide March edition! The beautiful Mexican actress, Mónika Sanchez, is on the cover. I talk about my role at Ceja, food, travel and growing up in the middle of a vineyard. Thank you Vincent Gotti Photography for capturing me in my element (cowboy boots and all).

D + C Engagement Pictures
FiestasComment
Happy dance, our engagement pictures have arrived! We are over the moon in love with how they turned out!
We had the incredible opportunity to work with Christina Litle, owner + photographer of c.m.elle studios. Her creative eye and understanding of lighting and detail make all of her work shine! Next up, she will be photographing our wedding on 8.18.18. For now, here's a sneak peek of our engagement photo session.
Holidays in The Vineyard
FashionComment
Happy Holidays! 'Tis the season for sweet Christmas tunes, twinkle lights, and numerous holiday soirées. Are you ready to celebrate? There’s something about this time of year that always makes me want to get a little bit more dressed up than usual, whether that’s with a touch of sequins and sparkle, faux fur or amazing long fitted dresses that bring all of the holiday elements together.
I've combined my top three favorite outfits that you can easily dress up or down that make me feel effortlessly feminine with a touch of glam. In a sea of over the top sequins and sexy black dresses, these combinations are the perfect happy medium.
Look 1). Can we talk about slits for a second? I absolutely love a dress that gives the drama of a high neckline, low back and a slit. I was immediately attracted to the deep shade of purple and soft material. I decided to add these metallic rose gold wedge sandals to give the outfit some sparkle and pop. We recently took our engagement pictures and this dress might have made a cameo - stay tuned!
Look 2). This holiday season I've gravitated to all things velvet, including this gorgeous strappy dress. Matched with this faux fur coat is the perfect compliment if you are going to be attending an outdoor event or strolling in the chilly December evenings.
Look 3). This off the shoulder gown with a beautifully fitted ruffle bodice and memorable high front slit is light weight and very feminine. I love the rich wine color that screams of the holidays. Dress it up even more and exchange the wedge sandals with some black pumps, bold lipstick and a romantic side braid. This is the perfect pick for a winter formal event.

Napa Valley Entertaining Book
Food & DrinkComment
What is the importance of a great coffee table book? Part home decor, part artifact that says a little something about your taste, a coffee table book has become an integral part of interior design in the past few years. That said, we're excited to be part of the new coffee table book, Napa Valley Entertaining. In Napa Valley, eating, drinking and entertaining with friends and familia is a feast for all senses and seasons. This book is an insider's guide to entertaining with a bit of wine country flair by highlighting a variety of dishes, décor and diversity that make Napa such a special place to call my hometown.
Go behind the scenes and experience a meal with dozens of Napa Valley's most preeminent hosts and wineries through this gorgeous collection of photography, recipes and stories by Blakesley Chappellet and Briana Marie. Our colorful and festive spread will have your mouth watering and excited to throw your next fiesta!
