Welcome to Citrus Court
Smell the Citrus! Well we found a place to call home, at least for the next several years, while we embark on a forever home. After six wonderful years in our Brentwood pied-à-terre, we have said goodbye to our first home as a married couple and parents to Pearl, Muffy and Parker for greener pastures. And greener we got. This home I promptly named Citrus Court is everything our condo didn’t have that I have been yearning for. A green space with with ample opportunities for ou

Palm Beach is my Disneyland
The happiest place on earth is in Florida, just not Orlando. Welcome to Palm Beach, a place where resortwear is mandatory, pastels are considered neutrals and the local trivia night resembles a Slim Aarons photograph. Everything in Palm Beach is pristine, pink and pairs well with a statement earring and cocktail. Traditionally a waspy winter retreat for snowbirds and heiresses, Palm Beach has now become a bit more known for it’s picturesque Spanish colonial charm and chic eat

Resort 2025: A Mother-Daughter Getaway in La Quinta
My mother and I started a tradition when she first moved to Los Angeles, in the midst of the global pandemic and searching for a small slice of adventure, we set out for a short girls-only getaway to escape the city and celebrate her birthday somewhere fun. Now it’s become an annual holiday habit, a mini escape we look forward to between Christmas and New Year’s each year and wonderful inspiration for my annual resortwear series . It’s always a short trip in nearby Southern C

Vintage Winter Pink Wedding Guest Dress
I love a vintage find. There’s nothing better than the find for me, it’s a sport I will play forever because there really isn’t anything quite as satisfying. So much of fashion is repetition, there are only so many silhouettes and fabrics fit for the human body, so much of what we cherish now, I’d even argue all of what we cherish now, comes from before. Especially when it comes to timeless, feminine style and quality craftsmanship in the present garment industry. Aside fro

Vineyard Chic in Valle de Guadalup
We arrived in Valle de Guadalupe on a warm and sunny afternoon in advance of our dear friends wedding festivities. Considered one of the best secrets of Mexico, Valle de Guadalupe is a quaint and rustic wine country region in Baja, Mexico, only about a couple hours south of San Diego, California. Buenas Tardes Valle! Known for it’s relaxed, country atmosphere we felt like we were truly lucky being introduced to the region given we have never visited a non-beachside destinatio

Au Revoir Paris!
While enjoying our dreamy balcony breakfast on our last morning in Paris, we also got some good news that our flight was delayed by a few hours, meaning more time on a sunnier day. Magnifique! So of course I beelined straight for the perfect photo location I had saved a long time ago! Photo Op! 225 Rue de l’Université, 75007 Paris, France Save it for your next trip, a great location for a less direct shot of the Effiel Tower, contrasted with a Haussmann style facade, making f

Our Last Night in Paris
After a rainy day in Paris, we headed back to our cozy hotel suite to freshen up before our last night of the trip and official five year wedding anniversary! La Fontaine de Mars La Fontaine de Mars is a classic Parisian spot that I am happy to say lived up to it’s consistently good reviews. I thoroughly enjoyed my final meal of escargot and French fries, along with a perfect glass of bubbly champs. Arthur loved his fresh fish but we both swooned over the side of gratin daup

Parisian Balcony Breakfast
I woke up on our last morning in Paris eager to check off two more boxes; a run through the early morning light and a stop at a fabulous patisserie before putting that stunning large balcony to use. Morning Run in Paris Fortunately the rain had cleared and the city gave me perfect conditions with a fall like temperature, cleared streets and some sun! Pâtisserie Pickup I ended my short run at La Pâtisserie Cyril Lignac , one a few places in the 8th open early on a Sunday morn
