Here are a few instagrams I snapped before hand. More photos and a complete lineup of all the fabulous attendees to follow. Read more

Honestly, I'm not sure why I keep trying to do these alliterative post titles. Kind of silly, right? I swear "Dining Delicacies" is my last one and I'm on to more sophisticated and mature post names. In any case, I've shown you the Master Bedroomand Family Room that I helped my friends with. The dining space is the final area that they asked me to give them ideas for. They'd bought this...

Today my old friend Jaime from Less on the Floor is sharing a great casual-but-stylish mom outfit with us. Thanks Jaime. Take it away:This is my go-to Casual Friday for that winter-spring transition. Plus a machine-washable dress now that I'm feeding the baby solid food! I like the desert boots with a little heel, but flat would be cute too -- and better for chasing around the playground. :-) [1]... Read more
Jess Houlemard is back again to share some shots for her most recent fete. She put together a casual bohemian camp inspired movie-night for her sister Nicoles' 30th birthday party. Even though the event got rained on people had a great time. She used thrift store finds such as antique lanterns and collected floral sheets to create the vibe of la vie boheme, and used warehouse stacking palettes... Read more

Hello all! I'm Emily from Recently, here to share an outfit that will have any new mommy going back to work in style! I think a new mom should definitely try to invest in some key pieces that will make her feel gorgeous, but at the same time be forgiving and figure flattering. She can add color with accessories, and find a bag that will hold all of her essentials, which somehow multiply once a... Read more
I'm so awful when it comes to photographs. I take them. They end up on my computer. But I definitely suffer from one of the problems of the digital age in that I never print my photos or make albums out of them. So recently I took it upon myself to create a gallery wall. By recently I mean I started collecting the frames from IKEA and various estate sales about a year ago and have very gradually... Read more
Had a fun week and weekend. Drinks and learning at Kneedler Fauchere at the PDC. A visit to the Arts Refoundry in Downtown LA (where I photographed the cacti, airstream and double decker bus) with some potential for partnership on the hardware line. A culinary tour of Eagle Rock including Larkins, Cacao and Casa Bianca. And a MAJOR chop of the hair (bottom two photos). Read more
