“Come on Barbie, Let’s Go Party”

April 22, 2022
Happy Birthday to the daughter of my dreams! My beautiful daughter who blessed me with a whole new being as a m o m and who has added so much joy to every aspect of my life. Planning parties for other people is always fun but planning parties for my own children is something else. After all, my children are the inspiration for how Pretty Please Baby + Child came to fruition. This year, we celebrated my daughter’s seventh birthday! I just cannot believe it. It feels like yesterday I shared a blog post on her first birthday. This...

April 21, 2022
With not enough weekends in March, I decided to do a birthday party after school for my son with all of his classmates. I had the party at DEFY trampoline park that my sweet boy just loves and can’t get enough of. I did find it a bit challenging to create an aesthetic that aligns with my taste not being able to work with a blank canvas to decorate. That being said, one of my favorite details of the space we secured was the black and white checkered floors. Absolutely loved them! My son turned 5 this year and...

Event Design•Persian New Year {Norooz}

IRANIAN NEW YEAR 2022 | NOROOZ 1401

April 19, 2022
March and April are always my busiest months of the year. My husband’s, my brother’s, my son’s, my daughter’s and my mom’s birthday are all within weeks of each other in March and April. Adding to these special days, Iranian New Year {Norooz} is one of my favorite holidays and it falls in between all of my loved ones celebrations. It’s a whirlwind of good times and a big beautiful blur. On top of all of these celebrations, this year I decided to design some Haft-Seen spreads {traditional Iranian New Year table / spread} other than my own and...

Iranian New Year 2022 | NOROOZ 1401

April 8, 2022
This year was the first year I got really vibrant and colorful with my Haft-Seen designs {Iranian New Year spread}. Those who know me know me well, know that I stick close to soft colors when it comes to my designs. This year may have forever changed me because I loved the bold and beautiful impact of all the colors we brought to life. The combination of colors we brought to fruition were sure signs of Spring and pure happiness. It was a pleasure to have worked alongside my go-to florist and friend Alina Fiore to bring Leyla Milani’s...

PERSIAN NEW YEAR 2022 | NOROOZ 1401

March 10, 2022
Those who have followed my blog for the past decade know how much I LOVE Norooz {Persian / Iranian New Year} ! I love Norooz for so many reasons. One of the reasons is that my culture makes up so much of who I am (in the most positive ways) and preserving my culture is something I hold very near and dear to me. As I became a mother, passing down our cultural traditions has been something I am very conscious about and I do my best to share what I can when I can. Norooz {Persian / Iranian...

DIY Faux Floral Pumpkin

‘Tis the season to pull out all the pretty pumpkins and I am so excited this season is finally upon us. I am already enjoying the cooler change in weather and all of the fall festivities that come along with this holiday season. If you aren’t into bright festive fall colors then we speak the same language. This year I prettified a delicate faux floral pumpkin as a housewarming gift for my friend Bita Milanian and today I will be doing an Instagram LIVE with Bita to show you how I did it. Join me today at 4pm with...

Pumpkin Pie Parfait with Pistachio Rosewater Crumble

October 24, 2021
Well as an Iranian, this recipe had me at Pistachio and Rosewater. It is sure to be a hit to many and I know that this Pumpkin Pie Parfait will surely compliment a lot of my nearest and dearest palettes. This dessert is one that I have already made a couple of times as the “pumpkin spice and everything nice” holiday season is upon us. I loved it so much that I will be making it as one of the dessert options on our Thanksgiving spread as well. This recipe is one of Eitan Bernath’s many amazing recipes. I...

Vista Alegre x Parisa Kaprealian

September 27, 2021
Since I was a young girl, I have always been attracted to beautiful tableware. Over the years I have grown my homeware collection and in doing so, my taste in curating my collection has become more refined. I just added some of the most beautiful and sophisticated porcelain pieces from Vista Alegre’s Terrace and Venezia collections to my homeware collection and I love their versatility. The porcelain pieces are pure art, richly decorated in gold with the most beautiful hand-painted details. They are the perfect combination of classic meets contemporary design, very much inspired by the Renaissance era. This collection is one that will stand...

Shopping + Self-care

September 16, 2021
Self-care can mean different things to different people and I am here to share with you guys today what one of my favorite forms of self-care means for me. I always feel recharged and happier when my home is in the shape I want it to be. Whether my home is clean, whether it’s organized, or whether I’m simply living my best life in my home and just enjoying its comfort.  For me, the heart of my home is in my kitchen. When I get to have some time by myself to cook, that is my type of self-care....
