With the holiday season upon us, there are a few things that I can’t stop thinking about – family time, delicious food, Christmas music, and trimming the tree!  But I also think about a possible spike in Covid 19 cases. The last thing that I want to do is show up at my 90-year old grandmother’s house with any kind of illness, whether it be Covid or a common cold.  So to protect myself and my family, I always wear a mask when I travel.   At the height of the pandemic, I think we all tried our fair share of masks. In my experience, the most effective ..read more

  Dress: Yumi Kim, Hat: Eugenia Kim, Umbrella & Chairs: Business & Pleasure Co., Swiss Army Knife: Victorinox As much as I long for a summer picnic at the beach, I always find it to be such a daunting task to bring everything down to the sand. Umbrella, chairs, food, wine – there’s so much to think about. But once I get there, and set everything up, I always breathe a sigh of relief and think ” wow, this is so lovely, we should do this more often”. My husband and I told ourselves that we’re going to make the effort to have more date nights on the beach, because we both enjoy them ..read more

Dress: Ralph Lauren, Shoes: Manolo Blahnik, Earrings: Vintage, Bag: Cult Gaia, Porcelain Vases: Home Goods I guess the secret is out now, I have been hoarding blue and white porcelain jars from Home Goods. I find them to be such a pretty accent to have around for summer parties, especially since you can add in a few red accents and use them for 4th of July fêtes. So naturally when I spotted this dress on the Ralph Lauren site I HAD to have it. I love the print, but the silk is what really made me weak in the knees. The way it flows is just. so. elegant. I’m also a sucker for a covered belt. I ..read more

With Easter just around the corner, I was eager to pull out my pastel colored linens, and floral vases to welcome spring. As a lover of pink, I sometimes have to rein it, especially since our h ..read more

Suit: Custom (Christian Roche Bespoke), Skirt: ASOS, Boots: Guess, Bag: Louis Vuitton, Watch: Daniel Wellington, Gloves: Ebay: Earrings: H&M Happy New Year! January is hard. Like really, really hard. It kind of feels like one, long Monday. I must be honest, I haven’t had many places to go this month, mainly because I’ve turned in to such a home body. Do my daily trips to the park to watch Bella go down the slide a hundred times count? I mean, that doesn’t exactly call for a power suit. But if I was going somewhere, I would slip on this menswear inspired look, paired with these fierce over ..read more

In 2018, I traveled to Thailand and had the privilege of staying at Ritz-Carlton Phulay Bay Reserve. The property was absolutely magical, and I loved that unlike so many other chain hotels, it was very authentic to the local Thai culture. We did so many fun activities like learning how to make delicious pad ..read more

I thought that I knew what love was, but after my sweet Bella girl was born I realized that my heart was capable of loving so much deeper than I realized. In the first few days and weeks after w ..read more
