Bohemian by the Bay

A life + style guide for the modern bohemian woman

Chambray Crop Tee

Ocean Beach is one of the city’s gems on a nice day. I rarely make it to the Inner/Outer Sunset, just because it’s so far away, but when the sun is shining and I’m in need of the beach (let’s be real, everyday I am in need) I head to Ocean Beach! Even on a nice day though, your hair is going to get windblown and you will most likely need a jacket. That’s what makes SF beaches so much different than LA beaches. Not to say I prefer one over the other but… it’s just a different experience.

I wore my chambray side-tie crop tee from Madewell for this outing, paired with my favorite ripped-knee black jeans that I live in. I was pretty comfortable in this outfit, considering the weather conditions.

Before heading to the beach, my friend Lindsey of Seamless Sea and I went to a really cute coffee shop called Hollow in the Inner Sunset that you all must try. It is a little green shop under a house situated in the most inconspicuous place on a main street, and they serve Ritual Coffee Roasters! See more pics on my Instagram 🙂

Love,

Cocktail Hour

A new bar popped up in my favorite area in SF, the Mission! I’m sure you’ve all heard of why I love the Mission… Because of DOLO (Dolores Park for those of you who aren’t from here), Valencia Street shopping, but most of all the food. And lately I’ve found that the bar scene isn’t that bad either. I stopped by Laszlo for happy hour last Wednesday night and was not disappointed. It’s the sister bar to Foreign Cinema, a restaurant that is quite famous in the city but I have yet to try… Shhh, I know! And let me let you in on a little secret- Laszlo serves Foreign Cinema’s dinner if you ask for their menu! No more waiting having to make reservations months in advance. You’re welcome.

For this outing, I wore my favorite LDB as of late, a scalloped dress from Sheinside that easily took me from work to play. To make the look even more classy, I slipped on some peep-toe heels and put my messy hair in a bun.

It’s so so much fun exploring new places in the city! Are there any recommendations y’all have for after work cocktails?

Love,
Lauren

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,
Lauren

Tropical Romper

It’s finally festival season and summer is just around the corner! Truth be told, I was suffering from mild FOMO for all of those people at Coachella this past weekend… It’s such an awesome fashion scene there. I love seeing all of the bloggers take on #festivalstyle, so I put together a San Francisco version of what I would wear to Coachella. I honestly would probably wear a bathing suit with high-waisted shorts since it gets into the nineties there, but this look would come close.

I paired my lovely new romper from The Mint Julep Boutique, an online retailer with a huge selection of pieces, with my go-to gladiator sandals to get that desert vibe. I’m loving anything and everything palm print, maybe because summer is right around the corner and I’m way too excited for it.

I’ve been getting a bunch of comments asking how I do my hair like this, and it’s so easy! Would you guys want a quick tutorial on my blog? I’ve never done a tutorial like that, but I think it could be fun!

More to come soon 🙂

Love,
Lauren
