When I’m not feeling well, or am just in an all-around fussy mood, there’s nothing quite like a peanut butter banana smoothie to soothe my world. Smoothies are so versatile, and this reci...
So, I’ve been diligently working to feather my new nest, and have discovered the following: I am unabashedly drawn to bright colors. Sunny yellow, in particular; While there is inspiration aple...
When living in LA, it is commonplace to see a certain type of sign. It is yellow and black, the lettering right side up, and upside down, paired with arrows, and points cast and crew to the set of a...
Remember the other day, when I was grumbling about the onslaught of fall? Well, I’ve caved. There’s just no ignoring the changing leaves, approaching Halloween costumes, and my favorite f...
Sound the trumpets, please: I am over-the-moon excited to announce that I can now personally walk you through the selling process at Crossroads Trading Co. (also known as one of my very favorite stor...
It has come to my attention (and by attention, I am referring to the cold wind blasting through my weather-inappropriate summer dresses) that the seasons, they are a-changing. And because fall is upo...
Guys: fall is almost here. Which means summer is coming to a close, and I’m just not ready to accept such a thing. While everyone else is cooing over the pumpkin flavored beverages recently ava...
I was over-the-moon honored to receive a request to be part of Matchbook Investigates, in this month’s Matchbook Magazine. I’m horrified to admit that I hadn’t been aware of this fa...
It’s recipe time! I’ve got a super simple idea for your next veggie side: curried butternut squash kabobs. Four ingredients, super simple, and absolutely yummy—I swear you’ll ...
This week’s wish list includes a smattering of the pretty things I’ve seen and heard this past week, of which I just can’t get enough: 1. Pretty Smitten’s Shop: Fabulous custo...
I received possibly the sweetest email of all time this weekend. Jackie, an 11 year old, is making a four-layer red velvet cake for her mother’s birthday, and reached out to see if I could prov...
This week’s wish list is going to take an actual list form, as there is just too much goodness to fit in a pretty little box. The items and ideas that have me obsessed this week run the gamut f...
I was minding my own business, scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed, when this post by Net-a-porter.com nearly knocked me out of my chair. Specifically, it was the so-chic-it’s-painful ensemb...
I love a good DIY project, especially when it comes together as easily as this floral necklace, pictured above. I was knee-deep in closet cleanse for a client, when we spotted this top. It was about ...
Last week, a group of friends and I celebrated our dearest Jacqui’s 30th birthday, with a croquet picnic at the Silverlake Reservoir Meadows. I can safely say that I have not enjoyed such a per...
I mean, really: is there anything more drab than standard issue office supplies? Whether you work from home, a poorly lit cubicle, or your very own corner office, you can brighten up the mundane with...
As previously discussed here and here (and lots of other places, such is my love for this ingredient, but I’ll spare you a paragraph of back linking), I am a sucker for eggs morning, noon, and ...
So, last week I topped this base outfit of bright red skirt and cream top with accessories that nodded to the current Southwestern trend. This week, I came out of the wilderness and into my favorite...
This week, I have visions of a steamy summer evening dancing in my head. No, not that kind. The heat I’m talking about is generated by spice on the tongue, a tiny taste kick. Like the kind foun...
I’ve had this nice and swingy red skirt from H&M for about a month, but hadn’t yet worn it—there wasn’t anything that I thought it’d look fabulous with off the top o...
I’m always on the lookout for easy, breezy summertime recipes. And what I find particularly alluring are guest-worthy summer desserts that smack of flavor and luxury, yet are simple to make. Th...
The espadrille: there’s no shoe I love more for summer. It’s chic and effortless all at once, and while I’m partial to a nice wedge, there’s something fetching about flat espa...
Growing up, we moved around a lot. A lot. My parents went through what a writing professor once dubbed as their yuppie-turned-hippie phase, which resulted in us living in various parts of the country...
What’s a gal to do when the temperature drops in the evening? Well, you certainly don’t have to ditch your sweet summer dress in favor of something warmer. Instead, just add a cardigan an...
OK. So, I’m not typically a fan of fried foods (with the exception of my ultimate weakness, french fries) but I made the most fun recipe ever for Recipe.com recently, and had to share. Did you ...
This week’s Wish List is filled with items I can imagine a throughly modern Holly Golightly wearing—aren’t they darling? And best of all, the set could dress up denim in a snap, or ...
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I was able to take the basic pairing of these color blocked separates, and turn it into a night-worthy outfit, lickety split. I simply added a colorful scarf...
What’s better than getting a whole lotta mileage out of one outfit? Not much, if you ask me. It’s so easy to pigeonhole an outfit, but almost any basic pairing of a bottom/top (or dress) ...
