“Time Flies” Ace is ONE!

November 10, 2019
The details of this post might look familiar to some of you. If so, well then you know how much I love this party theme! It was so fun to revisit this “Time Flies” theme I designed for my son’s first birthday for my darling clients and their sweet birthday boy. I implemented all the same details I did for my son but we added so many more personal details to the party that were reflective of my clients and that also really elevated the overall aesthetic. Celebrating a first birthday party is a big deal in my books....

I had the pleasure of designing this beautiful Persian wedding ceremony (sofreh aghd) at a gorgeous Malibu beachside estate. It was truly magical and majestic having the ocean as our backdrop and being nestled amongst all the rustic charm of this estate. I always get so lucky to meet the kindest and sweetest of brides. Often times our taste and aesthetic is what brings us together because we just speak the same language when it comes to design. This sofreh aghd design was one of my personal favorites because I just love eucalyptus and an overall clean, rustic, and...

June 4, 2019
Where do I even begin? My childrens’ birthdays each and every year are such personal milestones for me. I thank God each and every day to have them and to celebrate them. When they hit that big whole number in age I always ponder in thought about how fast time is flying by and how the days, months, and years are just fleeting by quicker and quicker by the second.  My daughter’s 4th birthday theme changed several times as I was planning it. It seems like everyday I’m learning more about Peppa Pig, Rainbow Dash, and just all the...

Milan is TWO | Welcome “TWO” St. Tropez

April 13, 2019
I always have so much fun thinking about the theme behind my children’s parties. I like to put a little extra thought in them to reflect us and find a purpose behind all of the love and details I put into it. My son Milan – like most toddlers, loves Sesame Street. Elmo, in particular. So I wanted to bring to fruition a scene that wasn’t the usual Sesame Street set up – whether it be on TV or another Sesame Street birthday party.  I came across this beach scene with Sesame Street characters and then everything came full circle...

PERSIAN NEW YEAR 2019 | NOROOZ {1398}

March 13, 2019
My Persian New Year {Norooz} spread this year is one of my favorites yet! I know I have said that before but this one really is. It is my favorite because my children are so into it. They are both at an age where they want to participate in growing our lentil sprouts {sabzeh}, feeding our fish {mahi}, and they’re just so curious as to what is going on. At the same time they want to touch everything and I’m not sure how long it I can keep the spread together (help). My inspiration for my design this year...

Norooz Sabzeh {sprouts}

March 3, 2019
Norooz {Persian New Year} is less then 2 weeks away and one of the main elements that make up the traditional new year spread {sofreh haftseen} is “sabzeh”, also known as sprouts. As a first generation Persian/American, growing sabzeh is something new to me. This cultural tradition is one that my mom always kept up in our home growing up and I find it so important to keep up with as well now that I am a mom. A little history on what makes up the sofreh haftseen can be found in one of my previous posts here. Essentially...

“TWO” Sweet

February 26, 2019
It’s that time of year for me when I get to dive into pretty details for three back to back parties in February, March and April. My niece was born in February, my son in March and my daughter in April. So I get busy pulling together design details a few months in advance for all of the parties. If you guys follow me on Pinterest, you will see that I’m consistently gathering inspiration from everywhere throughout the year. This year my sister-in-law and I put our heads together to design a party for my niece that would be most...

Styling + restyling …

December 18, 2018
My readers who have been with me since I began blogging know that I am always styling and restyling little areas of my home. I particularly love to restyle my entry way console table and since I moved I just haven’t achieved the look I have wanted to until I think now {ahem, insert wink emoji here}. While it’s not festive for the upcoming holidays I plan on adding a bowl of ornaments to achieve that Christmas touch. I have looked high and low for the same or similar console table and mirror that many of you guys continue...

A pretty French Blue Christmas in the making

November 20, 2018
Hi guys! It’s been a pretty minute and I thought to hop on here to answer some of your questions about my recent Christmas post. As always I start decorating for Christmas early and this year I am so partial to “French blue” as I am adding a lot of touches of the color to my new home. So I figured why not add it to my Christmas tree this year! As I began decorating I learned that all soft blue colors are not the blue I was looking for and my tree was starting to look like Christmas...

Christmas 2018, I see you!

October 17, 2018
Okay, I’m skipping Halloween and Thanksgiving all together to share some images of my past Christmas decor. Can you tell I’m excited for Christmas? Who’s with me? I used the same faux green Christmas tree the past 3 years and I have to say it held up very well. It was so easy to put up and take down. Every year I did it all by myself while my kids were napping and my husband was at work. This year I purchased an all white Christmas tree which I have always wanted. I don’t know why I didn’t get...
