Say what you will about her, but she was a huge part of pop culture in the early aughts and original influencer. Hence why I choose her memoir for my book club pick. She started a cultural phenomenon, the first woman to capitalize on her likeness without a “justifiable talent” per traditional routes like a movie studio, record label or fashion magazine. Influencing is an industry predominantly made for and by women, and hence why it’s still so undervalued by society despite

Cabo is an easy under three hour from Los Angeles and that’s essentially why I chose it for a mini getaway with my hubby to celebrate my 34th birthday this year. It’s known for it’s beautiful beachy weather, excellent accommodations and tourist-focused culture. It’s also one of the few ocean resort-worthy destinations on the southwest region of North America and in my honest opinion, unworthy of visiting if you’re not coming from somewhere under three hours away, but that’s

It’s the pinnacle of summer, the warmest month of the year, when most of the world is too hot to do anything other than relax, gather and indulge under the sun. Luckily for me, it’s also my birthday and as you might expect I happen to love it for this very reason. August 12th is always a good day to celebrate something, including yours truly. So I hosted an intimate dinner party with some friends on my recently renovated rooftop garden. The inspiration essentially being the

Our rooftop space was completed just time for the sun to finally make it’s way back to Los Angeles like a toxic ex-boyfriend and alas we had our first opportunity to entertain just in time for the 4th of July holiday. I’ll admit I’m not feeling so patriotic lately given the state of our country but I’ll never ignore a chance to gather, or take it for granted after the pandemic, most certainly when the stars align for some al fresco summer fun. When designing this space my mo

Real live footage of my dream entryway here!! And I’m one step closer already with the floor tile as my entryway boasts the same contrasting grey marble tiles. But I am LUSTING for the rest! One thing my mother and I just love doing in our free time with with Parker in toe, is bopping around town and admiring the bounty of interesting architecture and design Los Angeles has to offer. Living on the westside is lovely, however, we often miss the chance to explore some of the mo

Dear mamas out there, No matter how, why or when you describe yourself this way, I just want you to know this; we see you. We see you and your love. We feel the care, concern and caution, despite what it costs us. We most often see what you can do for us and for others and we are trying our best to evolve past that. We want to see your humanity too: your complexity, your pain, your passions. We might not know exactly how to do that just yet, because we’re still stuck on the p

I never lived in my hometown of Chicago as an adult, so playing tourist over the last decade has been a real treat. This most recent trip made even more fun because I got to see my high school friends as moms’ and thirty-somethings’ living in the city I grew up in from a different vantage point this time around. For the first time I didn’t have a wedding to attend or a birthday 5celebration; I just wanted a snapshot of their lives as they’ve come to be with age, kids, pups,

Mama holds a lot more meaning since my first Mother’s Day last May, but I’ve always been eager to celebrate the woman I get to call mom. Motherhood continues to feel so much less than what pop culture portrays it to be, the reality being that despite every mom’s individual ability to create her own magic so much of our success depends on our access to resources. In addition to having family to help regularly and a true partner/co-parent in my husband, I consider myself extrem

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

Some people go to see art in museums; I go to restaurants. Just like fashion is wearable art, design is livable art and I consider myself extremely fortunate to be in city with so many options for just that. And as if this abundant emerald hue wasn’t already having a moment, here’s living proof that we should all be green with envy! Welcome to the club, the new wine bar in Beverly Hills, Sur le Vert . You know I love a restaurant with fabulous decor, add the Beverly Canon Gar
