What to Wear to a Winery in the Spring

Happy International Happiness Day everyone! This weekend was magical and filled with happiness. I attended some events for the Flavor! Napa Valley festival, which was a five day extravaganza in Napa with over 40 events. The first event I went to was a guided wine tour to four boutique, under the radar and spectacular wineries, complete with our own Sommelier. It was fantastic. I’ll have more details (including the wineries you MUST go to) in a later blog post this week.

I was on the fence about what to wear to this event, mostly because I didn’t know what the weather would be like since it has been super rainy on and off in SF lately. I decided to go for one of my go-to winery staples, the maxi dress. It’s casual yet dressy enough to wear for a day in the vineyards. This one from Free People, is one of my favs. It’s boho yet has a bit more edge with it’s black color. And oh my, is it soft. It’s all sold out online, so I linked a few under the “SHOP THE POST” section that are similar.

Okay, I’ll give you a hint as to what winery these were shot at since I know you all are dying to know. It’s Spring Mountain Vineyard in St. Helena. One of the most if not the most beautiful winery I have ever been to. Such luscious gardens, old architecture and a smooth Cab.

Can’t wait to show you guys my next posts- I’ll take you inside the events at Flavor Napa!

Love,
Lauren

Grey Shearling Sweater

This long weekend, I headed out of the city to get a taste of nature. I made the journey to Copperopolis, California to my friend Emily’s lake house. If y’all don’t believe me that that is a real place, just google it! Anyway, I was in desperate need of a relaxing weekend (I even disconnected from my a bit, which is big news for us bloggers).

For one of the days this weekend, we went about half an hour down the road to a small town called Murphy’s to do some wine tasting. Murphy’s was having a festival for President’s Day weekend where you could buy one wine glass and do a tasting at all the wineries on Main Street. That was quite fun indeed. For this occasion, I wore my new grey shearling sweater from SheIn (formerly SheInside). It was actually fairly hot outside, so I carried this sweater around until about 4pm when it started to get chilly. I paired the sweater with my favorite ripped black jeans from GAP. I’m all about the ripped jeans nowadays, especially black. The more ripped the better- like these from Missguided.

I love exploring new towns and local shops, it’s one of my favorite past times. I hope you all had a lovely long weekend and spent it with ones you love, as I did!

Love,
Lauren

Bundled in Tahoe

As many of you well know by now from my last blog post and my , I traveled to South Lake Tahoe last weekend with a few of my besties. We stayed in an Airbnb, just 20 minutes from Heavenly in the Tahoe Keys neighborhood. It was a nice little place and great area if you are looking to explore the South Lake Tahoe area.

For a day of exploring around the town, making the occasional snowman and drinking hot toddies at Azul Latin Kitchen, I wore this long North Face jacket courtesy of my friend Melanie. I paired it with this mock neck sweater dress from Asos to create a dressed up mountain chic look (as dressed up as I get in the mountains… most of the time I am in my sweatpants)!

To add a touch of glam to this outfit, I wore my boysenberry drop pendant from Honeybee Boutique. Also, this jacket is so great for mildly cold to really cold weather, I may or may not steal it from Mel when she isn’t looking…

Stay tuned for an exciting post tomorrow featuring a collaboration with Rocksbox and BRIT + CO!

Love,
Lauren

Grey Cropped Sweater

This MLK weekend I headed to Tahoe with a few of my best friends. It was a weekend full of sledding, playing in the snow, exploring around the town and being cozy in our cabin. This was my first weekend ever in Tahoe, and I loved it! It’s really good to see snow in California, especially when I am used to it at least five months out of the year being from Colorado.

For a day of exploring around town, I picked out this great grey cropped sweater I got a long time ago with some high-waisted distressed black jeans. I can’t resist high-waisted anything, so these jeans made it straight into my closet. They’re from GAP, which is honestly the best place to find high quality jeans that are high enough around the waist to create a flattering shape (no love-handles, here!).

I’m not going to lie that it was a bit cold in this outfit, but so worth it to show off this sweater. I hope you all had a nice and relaxing MLK weekend! Look forward to another Tahoe post coming this week 🙂

Love,
Lauren
