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

The closest we will get without a passport to the Alps, Aspen remains the premier snowy destination for fun on and off the mountain. So of course it was my first choice for a brief romantic getaway this Valentine’s Day with Arthur and despite some of the hiccups we had getting back home I still can’t wait for another chance to head back. All the deets below, enjoy! Xx Getting to Aspen Aside from how fabulous this ski town is, one of the main draws for us was the less than two

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

Before my mother and I checked into our hotel in La Jolla, we decided to make a lunch stop further down south in San Diego’s Marina district at Seneca’s Trattoria. Inspired by the sea and life on large ships this glamorous and bustling restaurant serving my absolute favorite Italian faire! Located on the 19th floor of the Intercontinental Hotel we were greeted by a nature laden scene immediately upon arrival leaving my mother and I blown away by the detail! That was before w

Oh how I LOVE doing my #RESORT guides at the end of each year! The perfect does of sunshine and a necessary peek at upcoming Spring and Summer when the holidays are through and yet another excuse for me to incorporate pink into my wardrobe. This year’s inspiration came straight from the California Coast, a chillier one this time of year but not without it’s bold colors and resort-worthy design if you know where to look. For various reasons I found myself all the way up in SF

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

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!

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
