Our Backyard Reveal & How Landscaping Changes Everything

The power of good landscaping… When we first decided to undergo our renovation, I didn’t realize what a difference the landscaping would make. Living in LA, I really wanted an indoor-outdoor space since the weather is mild here most of the year. However, in order to achieve that, we had to completely redo the landscaping. At first, I wanted to spend that extra money on the interior of our home, but I’m so glad we went ahead and decided to spend it on the backyard. Now, I love being able to enjoy my morning coffee outside and enjoy the views and fresh air. I also love being able to open our lar ..read more

My Office Reveal

Or should I say closet? It’s no surprise that a huge part of my job consists of fashion, so I wanted my office space to incorporate that part of my life as well. So, I turned my office space into not only a designated work space with a desk and chair, but I had a custom built shelf made so I can visibly see some of my favorite pieces in my closet. To be honest, I don’t work in my office as much as I’d like but I get so inspired being in this room that it always helps with my creativity. I also love to film here. Whenever I’m doing a try-on or styling post, I often find myself drawn to this roo ..read more

Our Kitchen Reveal

The kitchen is the heart of the home… Who remembers what our kitchen used to look like?  We bought our home in late 2019 and spent 2020 renovating it – took down walls, redid flooring, opened up the whole backyard side with bifold glass doors, added beams to the ceiling, smooth plastered the exterior & entirely redid the landscaping. Overall, our renovation took it from a bit darker and dated feeling to a brighter and more natural feeling space that I love. I especially love the way our kitchen turned out. I wanted the space to feel light and airy, a place that was inspiring to cook ..read more

Paint Colors In Our Home

A fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference… One of the most asked questions in my DM’s is which “white” paint we used in our house. I get it – between the range of ivory to cream there are a million shades of white to choose from and you really have to get it right in order to nail that bright but cozy, warm feeling. It’s a rookie move to choose a shade that’s too stark – it can make a house feel sterile and sort of hospital-like, which I really dislike. On the other hand, going too warm can turn things a bit yellow when sunshine is pouring in. Here’s what we used, including our grey ..read more

10 Lessons We Learned in the Home Buying & Renovation Process

A few mistakes & lessons learned along the way… It’s been four years since gut renovated our cozy house in the hills and moved in, and sometimes I forget what it used to look like (does anyone remember the original closed off kitchen, and dare I say, the giant fish tank in the living room?!) This was our first home purchased together and Christophe and I learned so much about the home buying and renovation process. I probably wouldn’t have attempted such a big renovation without him – his father was in real estate growing up and their family constantly moved around redoing homes, so thankf ..read more

Setting the mood for our Lake Como wedding… Leading up to the wedding so many of our guests reached out to us with questions about what to wear – so being the (slightly crazy) design obsessed person that I am, I created a moodboard for each of our 3 wedding events’ dress codes and we sent it out in our newsletter! We got lots of feedback that it was super helpful to see the vibe of the days and inspire some sartorial choices (plus get everyone extra excited!), so I thought I’d give you a peek… To me, dressing for Italy is about joy, color, and drama, and Lake Como especially offers such an ele ..read more
