Well this Paris themed party is one for the books for me! I enjoyed planning and designing it as much as I enjoyed attending it. While planning this 5th birthday celebration for my client’s daughter Natalia, our first thoughts gravitated towards beautiful weather, outdoor coffee shops, the Eiffel Tower, and a beautiful color palette to match the magical mood Paris puts us in. We combined all of the above elements and traveled to Paris from my client’s backyard. Everyone enjoyed delicate and delicious sweets, fun travel themed favors, and the girls were hosted by an artist to paint the...
If you followed my last Persian New Year post you already know how excited I was to set up my haftseen {Persian New Year spread} with Shally Zomorodi this year. We did an Instagram LIVE together and I shared my ideas and tips on how to create a traditional (and modern) Persian New Year spread. Here is what I pulled together this year and I must say it was extra special to me because I collaborated with a talented friend and florist Alina {Alina Fiore} who amplified the vision I had for my haftseen with her most gorgeous blooms....

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...
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...
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...

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.

Closet Styling {Milan}
September 24, 2020If 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...
