Wedding Wednesday: Meg + Chris

I am so excited to share photos from the wedding we attended in Calistoga, California two weekends ago! The wedding was at the {Solage}, a beautiful and romantic setting right in the middle of wine country! It was absolutely perfect... loved that we were greeted with yummy champagne as we arrived, loved how the beautiful couple said their own vows to each other before sunset with the mountains as their background, and absolutely loved all of the little details Meg and Chris added as their own personal touch! :) 

Above: The ceremony. Perfect. Right? And her dress... one of her good friends who is a designer at Calvin Klein made it for her! Absolutely beautiful! Below: Meg and Chris are big dancers and the dancing lasted all night! Check out Meg's reception dress, Chris' dancing shoes and even Lulu (the dog) made an appearance! Happy times all around!

If you follow me on {instagram}, you saw some of their many fun details! It was like I was surrounded by pinterest the entire night! ;) The striped straws, drink flags, chalkboard signs, monograms, basket of dancing shoes and canvas totes for everyone are just a few!

 

Congratulations!!! :) xxoo.

Our SF Trip ♥

Hi Friends! Happy Monday! ...and Happy October! :) I didn't get to say that last week since I took the week off from my blog. It was the first time I have ever gone a whole week without scheduling some kind of post, but it was a much needed break from the computer. Wish I could say that I spent my time away doing fun things, but last week was completely consumed by work, work and more work! I guess that is what I get for taking a few days off to head out west! Our trip to San Francisco and Napa was absolutely fabulous and I was sad we had to leave! We spent two days in SF and two days in Napa mostly eating and sipping on wine, but also attending a wedding with some good friends! Below are some of my favorite snapshots from our trip... but check back on Wednesday for photos from Meg & Chris' amazing wedding in Napa (it's worth a separate blog post! :) xxoo.

Alejandro and I outside of Boon Fly Cafe in Napa

One of my favorite spots looking over the Golden Gate Bridge

Walking around the Marina and Pacific Heights. Loved showing him my old stomping grounds!

Welcome to Napa Valley

Merlots from Cakebread Cellars and Newton Vineyard

Looking over the Valley from Newton Vineyards (thanks for the recommendation av!)

1. Of course In-N-Out was our first (and last) stop of our trip! 2. The best macaroni and cheese from The Grove 3. Amazing baked blueberry pancake from French Blue (the cutest restaurant in the world) 4. Margarita flatbread from Boon Fly Cafe 5. Yes, that is bacon in my bloody mary!! 6. Lattes in beer mugs?! Totally normal!

I used to run the Lyon Street Stairs, but decided a photo opp was more appropriate for this trip! ;)

San Fran + Napa Bound... in one week!

In one week, Alejandro and I are heading out to the west coast to celebrate one of my dear friends as she marries her best friend! I am so excited to see friends that I have not seen in almost 4 years and to hang out in my old stomping grounds! Seriously, 4 years since I have been to San Francisco??! That is never allowed again! :) It's going to be a quick trip... so I am strategically planning out our 3 and a half days there so we can try to hit up all of my favorite places! I have already warned Alejandro that there might be a day or two that we have like 6 meals... just so we can fit everything in - he is totally on board!! ;) And while I am quite familiar with many wineries in Napa and Sonoma (seriously living less than an hour away from there was the best)... I have room in our itinerary for one more winery! So... I am taking recommendations! Which one is your favorite that we can't miss out on?  xxoo.
