Haute Holiday: Hanukkah Tablescape
There is no question how tough the last couple months have been on the Jewish people, war victims and the rest of the world watching the atrocities committed by Hamas in Gaza. I, like so many other moms have suffered vicarious trauma watching the videos of innocent children and hostages and perhaps even worse, seeing Israel be blamed for it. With the rise of antisemitism and the fearful rhetoric heard around the world I have never been more concerned, and in the same breath,

A Festival Fall Tablescape
The Toblerone bar can become a candy cane, the florals could use some spider web detail on the 31st, the place cards can be adorned onto a mini pumpkin, a dreidel would sit nicely above the salad plate and pink is my favorite color for Christmas. Welcome to the start of the festive season where we’re serving Halloween at cocktail hour, Thanksgiving as an appetizer, Christmakkuah as the main course and New Year’s Eve for dessert. Cheers!

A Simple Spring Tablescape
Well Passover and Easter are here and thus the official start to spring/summer entertaining has begun. Finally the daylight lasts longer, allowing more freedom and time to spend with friends and family and this year’s spring holiday was no exception. I set the table swiftly following a long day of seeing clients, after stopping by the local bakery to pick up some much loved caramel and chocolate covered matzos and a mini flourless chocolate cake. The florals I chose were bri

A Galentine's Day Pizza Party
Because Valentine’s Day is for the girls. It’s hard to imagine the rosy hues, words of affirmation, chocolate truffles and brilliant floral arrangements don’t have a place in validating some of the most significant relationships we have, with friends. Counter to couple centric culture the concept of Galentine’s Day rings so true in my heart, that we have a special celebration for the people we might not spend everyday with but who bring so much joy, depth and connection to ou

Elevated Wrapping With Poppy Gifting
She’s making a list… AND IT’s GOING TO BE NICE! Well it’s no secret that I love everything about gifts; the thoughtfulness, the curation, the presentation, the smile on my loved one’s faces! It’s one of the reasons I started this digital space and continues to be an ongoing joy in identifying places, things and experiences I love and that I imagine others might too. And that makes the holiday season all the more rewarding, while simultaneously more stressful searching for tha

Crudites On Ice
As the devoted wife of a “vegan” (we use the term loosely given how extra delicious items tend to make the cut) I had to mourn the loss of my cheese and charcuterie taking center stage on my boards. Aesthetics are important and of course one of my favorite places in Los Angeles, Hotel Bel-Air, has mastered the art of presentation along with the demand of health conscious eaters with this beautiful display I am now attempting to recreate!

Chic Places: Caviar Kaspia Los Angeles
Caviar and champs, oh my! Well as if Los Angeles couldn’t get more fabulous we needed a place to mirror the opulence of the the fashionable set in Paris, with the elegant ease often embodied on the famed Melrose Place. Nested into one of my favorite streets in Los Angeles within the space that formerly housed a perfectly shaded pink Mansur Gavriel, this next edition of the highly regarded caviar house Caviar Kaspia is absolutely divine. Reimagined into a calming and expertly

A Colorful Christmukkah
I celebrate Christmukkah every year, but this is one is sure to be pretty special. This year the eight nights of Hanukkah happen to coincide with December 25th, thus creating an even more legitimate alignment of the two holidays I love most truly blending into one big Christmukkah! So naturally I had to go all out. So let me tell you a little story about why Christmukkah is so special to me. I always found comfort in both holidays but never felt a real part of either. My moth

The Holidays
Because the holidays aren’t always merry and bright… Beyond the mistletoe, classic movies, enticing treats, ornate decorations and overhaul of lofty expectations for happiness, altruism and gratitude, lies the not so jingle worthy reality that holidays can also be hectic, stressful, overindulgent, lonely and expensive. When our friends, families, partners, kids and coworkers can bombard us with unattractive small talk, uncomfortable political discussions, the overconsumption
