Happy Memorial Day!

 

Happy long weekend!  It’s been a long time since we’ve had one of these, right?  I have been In Georgia since Tuesday working on an interior design project– something a little different and I am loving it!  You can watch the back story here and the big reveal next week!  While I will be working through Saturday and Sunday, I will make it home just in time to enjoy the holiday Monday and get back to work in LA … +more

Color Crush: Chartreuse
Chartreuse…even its name sounds stylish. Can’t you just picture a glamorous Parisian woman with perfectly lined lips whispering the word in some foreign film? Maybe that’s because the term originated from a French liqueur of the same hue that was first introduced in the 1700′s, but there’s just something about this color that is sexy, sassy fresh and fun all at the same time.   So, in honor of the approaching summer months where you can rock this shade with … +more

Jeans + A Tee

Despite all of the peplums and pencil skirts, a-line dresses and silky tops in the world, sometimes nothing is better than your favorite jeans and a great t-shirt.  I was in Phoenix on a job for part of last week and am in Georgia this week for another project.  When it comes to packing, I love things that don’t have to be dry cleaned and are also wrinkle resistant.  A drapey tee like this one and my favorite jeans are usually … +more

Mixed Prints with Hayneedle

Ginghams and stripes and florals, oh my!  Most of you know me well enough by now to know that I love a good pattern-play ensemble.  If you need proof, I give you exhibit A.  Lately, I have observed so many of my wardrobe tendencies slowly appearing in the way I design the rooms in our house.  There is a diamond rug / polka dot pillow situation happening right now in our living room that makes me giddy!  When Hayneedle asked … +more

Weekend Style

Happy weekend, friends!  I am in Phoenix today for a really fun (and toasty!) shoot, but I am counting down the minutes until I’m back in LA tomorrow.  Aaron has been traveling for the last two and a half weeks straight and finally gets back this morning– when I am in Phoenix!  Two ships passing in the night, right?  I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend of spending some time, just the two of us.  What are your plans? … +more

Swim Style: Black + White

You can run, you can hide, but you can’t escape that swimsuit season is upon us!  Most of us can agree on a love for fun in the sun, but swimsuit shopping can still be an issue.  Your best bet is going to be choosing a swim suit that best fits your usual style personality and then putting together the whole look.  Few people are super comfortable in a teeny bikini, but throw on a great cover-up and chic accessories … +more

Pretzel Rolls

A couple of years ago, my friend Michelle turned me onto Simple Things in West Hollywood and it’s been really hard to stay away ever since.  They have these delicious little bite-size pies and the location is really convenient for a mid-day lunch when I am out prepping, but my real addiction is with their pretzel roll.  They serve a pulled chicken sandwich with chipotle barbecue sauce on the softest, most perfectly salty pretzel.  On Monday, we shot a picnic … +more

Bright White With Old Navy

There are certain rules in life that are made to be broken.  For example, “everything in moderation”.  Sometimes a little excess is just the right amount.  And how about  the “no cocktails before five” rule?  Brunch sans mimosas just isn’t brunch at all.  How do you feel about the “only wearing white from Easter to Labor Day” clause?  Personally, I threw that one out the window a long time ago!  Sometimes bright white on a grey day is just what … +more
