mother’s day musts

I’m dreaming of painted toes, bright summer sandals, spa scrub-down, rose bubbles and a tote to replace my worn diaper bag.

dining with dad: swingers

[N]OT dining with dad. This time it’s dining with Mom! After perusing furnishings with my bestie, Alyssa at West Elm in Hollywood, we grabbed a bite at Swinger’s. Do I love diners. Rhys found himself entranced by the red tabletops, plaid booths and short-skirted waitresses rocking kohl eyeliner. Weary from shopping, we were saved by… Continue reading dining with dad: swingers

dining with dad: jar

[T]here are few things I like more than Sunday morning brunch with friends. This week we dined at Jar in Hollywood. The expertly appointed dining room invokes the spirit of a 1940s style supper club. We sipped bellinis and coffee, dined on pot roast hash, Florentine omelets, lobster Benedicts, and corn pancakes with fresh strawberries. All… Continue reading dining with dad: jar

I think my fascination began with written French vocabulary tests in ballet growing up, and eventually led to a wedding in Villefranche-sur-Mer. A week before departing for my last trip to Paris was when I found out I was pregnant. Thrilled as… Continue reading bibliothèque de bébé

Some of us go without shoes everyday, and not by choice. Join Toms Shoes in the One Day Without Shoes event TOMORROW,  April… Continue reading one day without shoes

mercier beaucoup

[A]nyone who knows me is completely aware of the fact that I adore all things stationery: letterpress on heavy card stock, fountain pens, sealing wax, embossers. I hand write thank-you notes for most everything– gifts (particularly Manly Man Company Gifts), dinner, coffee, to my babysitters. I have a stash of carefully selected cards that I… Continue reading mercier beaucoup

dining with dad: robata jinya

[M]mm. Lunch at Ribata Jinya was quite a delight. Rhys was stoked to slurp some black ramen noodles, grilled avocado and nibble on lotus root. My La Brea rolls were stuffed with some seriously tasty spicy tuna, but the créme de la créme was the table-side tofu. Soft, silky and luxurious, this tofu is a… Continue reading dining with dad: robata jinya
