HOSTING A SEASON OF JOY DINNER WITH MARIMEKKO

Home, Style

We’ve got a chef in the my chef’s kitchen! My dining table just got revamped as Dylana and I hosted a Season of Joy dinner with Marimekko! We brought together color, design and friendship in a way that represented our version of the Season of Joy. A table full of Marimekko homewares and table settings, a delicious meal prepared by one very phenomenal chef, and our beautiful friends to enjoy it all. What a vision of the season indeed. The season flew by, but evenings like this make the present moment stronger than ever. To many more nights like this in my home.

The menu:

Baby Lacinto Kale

Red Wine Braised Short Rib

Banana Pudding

SIN CITY

Style

VIVA LAS VEGAS. For me, it’s a love-hate kind of thing. I guess I really love OLD Vegas. Downtown Las Vegas. Where the streets are currently craving it’s revival by luring you in any which way they can. Home to some of our favorite legends. Elvis and Michael Jackson. Where it all happened. Where they danced on stage… lived for the glitz and glamour…all while changing the world. They don’t call it sin city for nothing. The non-stop entertainment. The black-jack tables, the jingle of the slot machines, the blissful sound of coins dropping in your cup. The flashy cars, glittering lights, and bottomless drinks. I grew up with Vegas. Considering it was my parent’s favorite roadtrip destination when I was a child.  Where everything is over the top and you’ll run into the kookiest of characters. For the holidays, we kept it relatively low-key as I went down memory lane along with those necessary pit-stops at Saint Laurent and Chanel down the Strip. I mean, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

ZEPPELIN

Style

Merry Christmas everyone!! This week was a ridiculous amount of fun as I just got back from a roadtrip out to VIVA LAS VEGAS for some slot machine fun and killer shopping (can you say Saint Laurent?!) But most of all, I’m so grateful to get to spend extra quality time in LA with the loved ones before beginning yet another whirlwind year back in NYC. The holidays are so dreamy. Especially when you’ve got the Santa Monica sunset, and bubblegum Vencie Beach skies overhead. I never want it to end.

Like I’ve said before, I packed NO CLOTHES, anticipating packages and work pieces being sent to the West Coast. My luggage always stuffed with gifts and clothing for my family and friends. Sometimes it’s more fun to just work with what you’ve got and see what you come up with! But I made sure to pack these beautiful leather pants to shimmy into just in time for the holidays. Straight off the runway from Tommy Hilfiger Collection, they fit like a dream. With it’s rich burgundy hue, and gold zippers down the ankle and pockets, I’ve got that LED ZEPPELIN “Whole Lotta Love” thing for it. Complete with the matching cowboy boot, and my favorite dip-dye vest. I’m always unleashing my inner rockstar. Maybe that’s what I need to do this year. Start my own band. Who’s with me?
