Weekend Snapshots


Baker Beach.

Our adorable cousins from Italy are visiting us for their very first trip to the United States. We've enjoyed showing them around San Francisco, taking them out for their first (American) hamburger, bagel, burrito and taco! Saturday night they treated us to a homemade Italian feast complete with cocktails, pasta with walnut sauce and the best tiramisu of my life. Spending the weekend with them has been quite entertaining and I'm glad they're here for another week of California exploring!

What a wonderful weekend! I love showing out of towners around my city, it makes you appreciate all the touristy things, but it's extra special when they're new to the entire country!
Plus, the drinks and tiramisu look just heavenly! Mmm! xx

Did you really picked up all those costume jewelry at the Alemany flea? I live like 15 mins away and never went... cause I didn't hear good things about it. But you're making me have second thoughts. Love your taste in jewelry. :)

@The Blonde @ Stylish3 - No, my sweater is actually a thrift find but Rebecca Taylor does make a similar one which is super cute!
