Happy Hour with ONEHOPE Wine

Last Thursday night, Andi Teggart of Lucky Andi and Lucky Collective hosted a blogger happy hour at Andi’s house. Andi has the absolute CUTEST apartment, filled with mid century modern bohemian charm that is everything I dream of for a home. It was seriously #goals. We invited a few of our blogger friends over for some snacks and a whole lotta wine from ONEHOPE Wine.

After a little bit of conversation, we headed to the rooftop at sunset to pop the champagne, which was in the cutest sparkly gold bottle. I made sure to get some good shots of Andi trying to pop the champs…

See more of our little happy hour celebration on my . Huge thanks to ONEHOPE for providing the wine for our get together.

Love,

Hog & Rocks Brunch

A while back, a few of us bloggers had the opportunity to try out Hog & Rocks, a brunch spot in the Mission serving classic San Francisco brunch fare. We began the brunch with an assortment of cocktails, trying everything from the original Bloody Mary to the Spiced Pear Bellini. While those were fantastic, what I was really excited about was the food. Their menu is filled with eggs and meat galore served in creative combinations. The Eggs Benedict took the cake for me, since it comes with all of the above: shaved country ham, poached eggs, hollandaise, and home fries. Take a peek at the food to see for yourself.

The Mission has got to be my favorite place in the city to go out to eat for brunch, and Hog & Rocks definitely has one of the most classic, hearty brunches that I have had in all of SF (which is saying a lot)… The atmosphere is laid back and anything but pretentious. I would go back in a heartbeat for that good home style hangover cure food.

Love,
Lauren

Holiday Celebrations in the City

I recently did a fun holiday shoot with a bunch of bloggers and creatives in San Francisco. I know I have been talking about this shoot for the past month and sharing glimpses on my , so here it finally is! We set up a fabulous table with rustic decorations and food from Whole Foods, dressed up in dresses from Urban Outfitters, and drank fancy cocktails curated by Craft and Cocktails. It was a magical start to the holiday season and so fun to work with all of these creative people and #girlbosses.

Stanford Hotel X SF Bloggers

A few weeks ago, the Stanford Court Hotel hosted a lovely happy hour for a few bloggers in the city. It was complete with yummy appetizers, drinks and gift bags. The main reason for hosting the event was to tell us of the upcoming redesign of the hotel, a plan to make it even more tech friendly and modern. Nestled on the top of Nob Hill next to the old gems of the city, Mark Hopkins Hotel and the Fairmont, the Stanford Court has some tough competition. But nonetheless, it is a more budget friendly place to stay and definitely more modern. In fact, my parents and I stayed here when I first moved to the city! Definitely consider it if you are traveling to SF anytime soon. Take a peek inside:


Also, take a look at the other bloggers who joined me: Tiffany of Sunshine Daydream Photography and Lindsey of Seamless Sea!

Always love to help grow the community and hear about local events and initiatives!

Love,
BB xx
