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

one day without shoes

[S]hoes. Something we throw on our feet each day. Something of which some of us have a fetish. Or a collection. Or a HUGE collection. Something most of us take for granted. 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

scuut on over

[A]ll over the neighborhood, I keep seeing little tykes on these bikes. I am counting the days until Rhys is big enough to ride one. Not that I want to rush him, but, how cool is this? The Scuut bike is designed to teach balance and coordination, making the transition to traditional bicycles easier by… Continue reading scuut on over

spring duds

[D]espite the unseasonably warm weather in Los Angeles this winter, the temperature has dropped back down a bit this week. Still, I have spring fashion on the brain. Here’s what I’m loving right now:     [1: Linen Roll Cuff Shirt from Janie and Jack  2: Madras Pants from Janie and Jack  3: Striped Tees by Mini Boden 4: Roll Up Shorts… Continue reading spring duds

dvf for baby gap

[O]h, my. It’s times like this when I am glad I had a baby boy, and not a little girl. I would easily break the bank on the impossibly cute collection Diane Von Furstenburg designed for Baby Gap, that just launched on the 15th. I mean, forget it. I die. [1: Layer Dress 2: Eyelet Wrap Dress 3: Printed Band… Continue reading dvf for baby gap
