Persian New Year 2021 | NOROOZ {1400}

March 1, 2021
Persian New Year {Norooz} is around the corner and year after year I get more excited for it as it nears! Celebrating Norooz is one of my fondest memories growing up and carrying on this cultural tradition with my children is one that I have so much fun with in preparation for its arrival. This year I have the honor to bask in excitement with someone who loves Norooz as much as me, if not more! On Thursday March 11th at 2PM PST, the oh-so-lovely Shally Zomorodi and I are going to be getting Persian New Year ready together...

Valentine’s Day for Kids

January 29, 2021
I have always been one to find any reason to celebrate an occasion, big or small. This certainly holds true to anything that has to do with my children and this year I have been thinking a lot about what we can do together as a family to celebrate love and kindness on Valentines. What I have planned for us will be a separate post but wanted to quickly share the Valentine’s Day cards I got for my daughter and for my son to pass out to their friends in class. Whether your child is in school learning in...

Invite Me Pretty

January 27, 2021
If you are reading this then chances are you love anything pretty like I do. When working on designing an event I always think about how to make the theme personal to my client first, then I tap into selecting the perfect color palette. Most often, the colors I pull together for my events are soft, pastel and even custom. Being able to customize anything is at the true core of my event design with the intention to stay unique in my overall design. That being said, once my design aesthetic is finalized I always like to make sure that my...

“Noah’s Ark” 1st Birthday

November 5, 2020
Not too long ago I had the pleasure of planning and designing a “welcome to the world” party for a beautiful baby boy named Noah who was welcomed to this world by an amazing family I have grown to know and adore. It has been an honor to be able to design his special celebrations and his 1st birthday has quickly become one of my favorites to date. In true Noah fashion, Noah’s mother and I felt it would only be fitting to design a playful version of Noah’s Ark. We wanted to keep the details soft in colors...

Kitchen Cabinet Styling

October 18, 2020
There are so many ways to style empty shelves with things that serve a purpose while still pretty. I am sharing a closer look at some of the items I have filled up my kitchen cabinets with that I find functional while still matching my overall design aesthetic in my kitchen. If you don’t know where to begin when it comes to styling an open space, I hope that this post gives you some inspiration as to what could work for you. I have linked some of the items I have on my shelves below as well as other...

Monogram me pretty

October 16, 2020
Those who follow me closely know that I will label and customize pretty much anything I can. I do it to help stay organized but I also love the look of an item when it is given a personal touch. Monogramming pillows in my home is another thing I love to do because to me it just looks so classic and one of a kind when done right. I am sharing my children’s rooms and have linked some pretty monogram options for any of you interested below. Bedding in both of my children’s rooms are from: Matouk

They’re back! The most elegant, simple, and classic gift boxes by Sugar Paper exclusively for Target. They are only available during the holiday season and when they hit the stores I ruuuuuuuuuun for them. I may or may not have ordered more than I need but I find so many creative ways to use these boxes throughout the year. This year they come in a light aqua and gold color and oh my goodness, the colors couldn’t be more perfect for my aesthetic at home. I feel like they were made for me this year! I am planning on...

Closet Styling {Milan}

September 24, 2020
If these adorable keepsake boxes look familiar to you – it’s because I have the exact same set in my daughter’s closet but in a pretty pastel pink. They are the perfect set of boxes to put miscellaneous items in which are important to your kiddos. I have so many items I like to hold onto for my children or that they like to hold onto and because they are random items of importance we don’t have a specific place to keep or store those important items. Having a keepsake box for these said items helps eliminate clutter and...

Masculine. Modern. Pretty.

September 5, 2020
This small and socially distanced surprise 40th birthday dinner was nothing short of magical. The breathtaking views and the breeze of the ocean was the perfect backdrop for this modern and masculine birthday dinner. We managed to pull it all together in less than 2 weeks (thanks covid) and I couldn’t have done it without an amazing group of talented vendors. Thank you to my sweet client for trusting me in bringing this design to fruition.

Roasted Chickpea Salad

July 25, 2020
One of my favorite snacks to munch on are roasted chickpeas. They are delicious, nutritious and they keep me so full. Tossing them in salads is another way I like to enjoy them. I love the added flavor and texture that they bring to the table. I haven’t explored much outside of a little olive oil and salt on my chickpeas but there are a variety of seasonings you can add to them that won’t leave your palette bored.  I gravitate to a mix of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors in my salads and the ingredients I pulled together for this recipe really satisfy...
