Thank you for all the beautiful memories so far and the future ones I know my family, friends, and community will build again someday again. From countless seaside walks, lively meals with loved ones, gorgeous sunsets and picturesque backdrops, this town has remained a staple in my life here in Los Angeles for the past 14 years. A slice of California perfection, a place I am so beyond blessed to be a neighbor to and where so many of both mine and Parker’s little community of

Skiing and all the ceremony that comes along with it, has become a real treat for me that I now look forward to every season. However, it’s become much harder to do with an active toddler but I figured this year I could finally bring him along for the fun. Hello Mammoth! I’ve been to a few different ski resorts; Aspen , Vail , Big Bear and Steamboat to be exact. All of which without a toddler, hence why we chose Mammoth for our first family trip given it’s proximity to Los

We all have that one thing that sparks absolute magic within us. Aside from our family and friends, it’s something absolutely remarkable, a feeling you get when your true self gets fully realized. I’m fortunate to have two of those things, both equally magical. One of which is my creative spark, when I dream up something and then finally see it all come together, typically style related; an outfit, a scene, an absolute perfect moment, so palatable I can almost taste it. And t

Beyond the mistletoe, lassic 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 small talk, uncomfortable political discussions, the overconsumption and ugliness of too much food and booze. When we are reminded of th

As is Christmukkah for me. At the end of every year I have the pleasure to celebrate not one, but two of the best holidays of the season; three if you count the significance of New Year's Eve for my Russian family members! Typically we celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah separately, given the eight nights of Hanukkah land on varying dates so any and all overlapping of the two feels extra special. Last time the two coincided I went all out with my colorful Christmukkah table and

Hanukkah Monica is here and she found you the perfect little blue dress… Whether you’re celebrating Hanukkah or not, this festive little number (and others similar below) are beyond perfect for the holidays. I wore it for my holiday shoot, post coming soon, and couldn’t help but snap a few photos with the bow detail and my Hanukkah Monica cake front and center! Enjoy! xx Chic Little Blues…

I’m currently mourning the loss I thought this country had made… Just as I was for the first time in 2016, several times after and now again today. I am still deeply saddened by the way our country voted against women, against freedom, against democracy and respectful rhetoric but  I’M NOT AT ALL SURPRISED. To all the women out there who are scared, I see you and your pain.  TO ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS AND BOYS WHO ARE TRIGGERED BY A RAPIST BECOMING OUR PRESIDENT, AGAIN,  I see yo

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

We love cozy nights on our rooftop entertaining family and friends and now that the holidays are upon us my ideas for fun are in full swing. Especially when pairing champs and cheese, the perfect meal on a candlelit, chiller evening tucked under a comfy throw. I’m no newbie to fondue, it’s my favorite wintertime meal (even in Los Angeles) and so if you want more info on how to setup fondue, see my guide here .
