A Champagne Birthday


This past weekend we celebrated my little sister's "champagne" birthday (aka her Golden Birthday) with cocktails, sweet potato fries, friends and family as well as a sunny day spent wine tasting in Sonoma. The weather was perfect, and the combination of wine plus family always makes for a great time. It was one of those weekends that I simply didn't want to end.

Is that vest from JCrew? If so, I have the same one, and I am OBSESSED. Seriously. I wear it on top of practically everything in my closet.

Also: you should totally frame that photo of you and your sister. You both look gorgeous!
