SPEAKS TO ME

Young girls should never have to go through losing their mom (or any close relative for that matter).   Hands down the most difficult obstacle I have had to overcome in my life is losing my mother to  breast cancer. She passed away a few months before I turned 16 (Nov. 4, 2004).  I have had […]

LIZ BECK EVENTS

Liz is definitely someone I look up to as a wedding planner.  She received her degree in interior design- so we can definitely relate.  She is not only motivated & hard-working, but also EXTREMELY talented & creative. I am so very honored to work for such a remarkable individual. You should definitely visit the Liz […]

BEDDING

Cody & I are desperately searching for bedding for our room. We have been sleeping in the guest room since we moved into our apartment because we have all the bedding for that bed finished. I found some great options for a feminine/masculine mix. Which one is your favorite?? happy monday! source – click on […]

RUSTIC + MODERN

This is an AMAZING DIY table. The Walnut table top was found on Craigslist for about $50 You sand the top, removed the rusty nails, and added a pair of stainless legs. Hello beauty! source <3

OUR SUCCULENT

Check out our new succulent.  I am completely obsessed with it. I want to name it – but the last time I named a plant, it died.  So I shall not curse this beautiful gem. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. xo

So I was thinking today how could I find organization within my clutter of inspirational magazines, post-its for my constant list-making, design books, etc.?? Well, I came across these beautifully taken photographs by Laure Joliet (a Los Angeles-based photgrapher specializing in many design aspects).  She truly has an eye for design. Her photos have given me […]

TEA NOOK

Very Moroccan. Very chic. I absolutely love the mix of throw pillows in this creative “tea nook”.  My Persian friends would say (and I would have to agree) the only thing this scene is missing is a hookah.  I love the idea of having an area to relax and drink some tea (green preferably).  I […]

NEW APARTMENT

Cody & I have been constantly rearranging and organizing our new apartment. I put together a little collage of what we are going for – we have the breakfast nook already! (mark it off the list). source/ source 

SAN DIEGO

-L.A.: (like I mentioned in my last post) during Memorial weekend we visited Raina & Sal, & had an incredible weekend! -La Jolla Cove: we walked around for a while and watched seals hang out on the rocks & bark at each other. We then went to Georges to have a glass of wine overlooking […]

LA

Memorial Weekend. So…Cody & I decided to go to L.A. to see one of my best friends I have known since high school, Raina,  and her man, Sal.  We had such a wonderful time. We went to Americana at Brand, a beautiful  shopping area where Raina used to work (BCBG). We had amazing sushi, italian […]
