The Aspen Guide
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

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

Seaside At Seneca's
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

The Resort Wear Guide: 2023
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

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

A Little Fondue Rendevous
Ever since my mother moved to Los Angeles a few years back we have prioritized taking mini adventures around the city. At first for the fun of her learning her new surroundings, but then increasingly more importantly as a way to overcome our mid pandemic blues, taking any opportunity to pickup takeout and explore a new area of town. And since the birth of bébé our excitement for exploration has continued to grow, just as my little one developed into a restauranteur of sorts a

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

Spooky Cheese Plate
Here’s a quick and simple, spooky cheese board for the weekend! Candy apples, Carmel corn, a skeleton and a mini copper mug of honeycomb all pair well with cheese and sweets. Some of my favorites being white chocolate, figs and candied nuts. I added olive tapenade to top the goat cheese and stuck an acorn in between the fruit and white cheddar, unfortunately the brie didn’t make the plate but it was still heavily consumed. Enjoy!
