Coppola

This past weekend I headed up to Napa to celebrate a friend’s birthday at the Francis Ford Coppola Winery. We took a Blacklane town car up for the day, which was absolutely lovely. I was thinking of wearing a maxi dress (because maxi dresses are practically synonymous with Napa), but the warmer weather called for something lighter, and I’ve been waiting for a chance to wear this little romper that I bought from a cute boutique on South Congress in Austin. It was a gorgeous day and we spent Sunday dipping in the pool, relaxing in our cabana, sipping wine, and exploring the grounds. I fully realize how obnoxiously bougie that just sounded, but it was a special treat and a wonderful way to celebrate the birthday girl. The winery also has props from Coppola’s movies sprinkled throughout the place, and I couldn’t stop giggling when I saw the Godfather’s desk, because I know my dad had snuck back there with some friends late at night when no one was looking, and sat at the chair quoting lines from the movie. *insert my dad’s interpretation of an Italian accent here* “What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully?”
