Happy Monday! I’ll kick-start this post by saying that I do plan to get back on a regular schedule and cadence on the blog now that the wedding (and planning) is done and over. I have a handful of outfits and events that I’m excited to share with you all from our wedding weekend. First up is a brief review of our dinner date at Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch the day we got to Napa. As can be expected, my whole wardrobe for the week was white! I’ve been slightly obsessed with Rag & Bone lately. This straw boater hat and these gorgeous wedges were two of my staple pieces from my Summer Neutrals post. To find out what we ate and how we liked it, keep reading!

When we were planning our group wine tours for the day after our wedding, I had reached out to Long Meadow Ranch to see if they could accommodate our 30-person tour. Unfortunately, our big shuttle wouldn’t be able to make it up the drive for the tastings on the hill and we had to rule it out. It wasn’t until we were at the airport in San Francisco when one of my best girl friends, Lauren, mentioned that she and her husband had plans to go to Farmstead over the next few days. As we drove up to Napa to get settled in and run last minute errands, I called and they shockingly had an open reservation for that night!
I had heard great things about their grass-fed beef meatballs with carmelized onions on Yelp and they did not disappoint! And, I would be totally remiss if I didn’t mention those mouth-watering cheddar biscuits with honey butter (… yes, I asked for an extra side of the butter!). Since we were still 2 days away from the wedding, we were trying to be good with our diets. But, we totally blew it with these biscuits! They were all gone!
I (slightly) made up for those indulgences by getting the garden green salad with apples, blue cheese, toasted almonds and a citrus vinaigrette. It was absolutely delicious. Matt got the “Brick Cooked” chicken and loved it. You can guarantee we’ll be going back next time we’re in Napa.

I intentionally packed all white outfits for our 5 days in Napa. This raglan shirt from Rag & Bone is so comfy and it’s what I traveled in on the flight. I’m planning to buy the black version (and the navy tank, if I can still find it). This white distressed denim has quickly become my go-to pair and I wear them at least once every weekend.
I wanted to get a really special bag for our wedding to use for all of our events. With the wedding itself being at an outdoor venue, I knew I’d want to touch up throughout the night. I was originally looking for something covered in pearls, but I finally decided on this Miu Miu bag. It’s literally called the Nappa crystal bag, so I took that as a sign that it was the right accessory for our weekend. It made it’s debut during our dinner at Farmstead.
