Hello my loves,

I am here in the city, San Francisco, where it is c-o-l-d.. COLD! I guess I really have gotten used to the warmer SoCal weather. Everyone is bundled up in cozy scarves and beanies and I just really love the winter attire. After a year of being away, my heart is happy to finally be back in the city again!

I love taking in the city. All the various areas, the culture, the people, the fashion. I was worried that it was going to be raining the entire time, but so far so good. Of course, I had to play tourist and go to the bridge, and the skies were perfectly clear.

I have definitely been excited to go back to all the foodie places that I love so much. The food in this city is seriously just amazing. I guess you could say this is where Lena-the-foodie began.

  Hello loves,

Sometime I blink and just like that it’s been a month. Fall is here, and with fall comes all the cozy feels…my favorite time of the year is quickly approaching. I can basically hear Christmas calling my name. 

Anyways, I am getting ahead of myself. All I know is that I absolutely love family weddings for two reasons: I love adding people to my extremely large family, and it’s always the best reunion time! Weddings in this family seem to be a yearly occurring event. 

 
Staying up until the crack of dawn, aka way too late and eating way too much food are just a few of the necessities of a perfect family reunion. 

This past weekend, I got to celebrate the marriage of one of my cousins. It was such a beautiful wedding with such beautiful Pinteresty-vintage decor. 

  
Mason jars were everywhere… And if you don’t already know, I LOVE mason jars. Actually love is an understatement. They are so versatile, practical, and cute! 

 
It was so fun being a part of their big day, and it was so special to me to see my dad up there being a part of the ceremony.

  
I knew this was going to be an outdoor wedding at a winery in Fresno, CA, which is known to be hothothot! Thankfully, the clouds kicked in and the weather was simply perfect.  

The dessert bar was my favorite part of the meal! There were beautiful glitter cupcakes… If I had to describe them I would say jam-filled butter-cream frosting goodness! My cousin made the most delicious sea salted brown butter cookies which I devoured! Let me tell you… And no I don’t want to talk about how many I had, that’s for me to know and you well uhh… to not know! 🙂

  

I hope your weekends were just as sweet! 

Xoxo,

Lena
