H A W A I I + S O N O M A

Summer is all about Vacation right? V A C A T  I  O N! The word seems like a foreign concept at this point. But I had planned this, planned this for months and I wasn't about to let a 1000+ email inbox get in my way. 

First stop, Sonoma Valley. My best friend was getting married and we had to send her off in style.

Above is our AIRBNB we rented (super affordable and absolutely lovely).

A must see -- Scribe Winery.

There were heaps of lavender at the Valley of the Moon Vineyard.

We dined at Bouchon  on the patio ( and obviously scarfed some meats & cheeses).

Next up, Maui.

We stayed in the amazing town of P'aia an old plantation town.

The shopping was fantastic and I loved this little gallery / store PUKA PUKA

we found a red sand beach.

Then there was of course the wedding at Haiku Mill 

And the bride in her beautiful Monique L'Huiller dress

My handsome boyfriend braving the humidity in a wool sweater. 

My other wifey, Alisa and I played bridesmaid for the day.

We all got ready in the "cane house" which was a shabby chic dream come true.

The ceremony was truly magical (as was the aftermath.)

We dined at Mama's Fish House, Monkeypod (poke tacos and bulgogi tacos YES!),  Mala (tuna bruschetta!) and drank Pineapple wine from Tedeschi winery and then we got horribly sunburnt. The end.

I stopped by Mohawk general store this weekend with the lovely Katy Miller and picked up some goodies from Ace+Jig, swung by Cliff's edge for brunch, grabbed a coffee at intelligentsia and spent a little too much time at the spice market with a baby bulldog named bushwick. Mohawk's summer selection is super on point, drapey tunics, linen dresses and more.

Portland! I chopped it up in the city for 5 days to check out TedxPortland hang out with the ladies of Eyes and the Edge and do so much needed shopping at Lizard Lounge, SchoolHouse Electric, Lowell and more. We snuck in some hang time at RonToms, Doug Fir to catch ski lodge & Chad Valley and err stripperoake? It happened.

Till next time!
