CALIFORNIA RANCH CHIC

Being from California naturally I love ranch style, a kind of loose and casual mix of rustic juxtaposed with the antique elegance found in old missions and vineyards of Southern California.  When photographer Shannon Stellmacher and makeup artist Julie Morgan headed down to Sunstone Winery in the Santa Ynez Valley, three of the dresses in my collection went with them for this stylized shoot.  Here's the result of what happens on a perfectly sunny April day when nature meets the finest parts of architecture and art .

MORE FROM THE VINEYARD

 Back on December 13, we featured some awesome images from The Vineyard Bride, a stylized shoot at the beautiful Annadel Estate Winery  in Sonoma.  Over the New Years holiday, photographer Shannon Stellmacher came up with some more 'How Gorgeous Are These?' pics from that fabulous shoot.  I'm a true lover of black and white photography and the first two remind me of a Howard Hawks film from the 1930s--stunning beyond belief.  Our wonderful model is Lori Dorfman and makeup and hair done by Julie Morgan whose work continues to enhance and beautify everyone she touches . . .
