The best thing about celebrating Valentine’s Day in the wake of COVID-19 is that there is no pressure to go out to a restaurant and sit in a sea of 2 top tables and feel awkward. All the best food, drink and fun (whether it’s DIY or take out) can be enjoyed from the comfort of home. That’s why we decided to make a curated V-Day faves list with a number of last minute Valentine’s Day gift ideas and rose colored epicurean delights for this stay at home holiday.
Read MoreToday we celebrate hope: hope for real, positive and lasting change for all. In a matter of minutes, some glass ceilings will be shattered. We will finally have our first woman VP, one who is both Black and Indian. We couldn’t be more excited to have this dynamic duo in the White House.

Read MoreWe’re in the thick of the holiday season and what better way to make a stay-at-home COVID holiday more festive than by making craft cocktails?! We have a number of industry friends who make a living whipping up epicurean mixed drinks that we’re endlessly seeking recipes for. We’re here to share a curated collection of favorite recipes for ‘cups of good cheer’….
Read MoreFriends we’re going to speak candidly for this post. We can’t play cool and coy over this news, we’re far too excited: WE MADE MARTHA STEWART’S BEST WEDDING PLANNER + DESIGNER LIST!!!!!!!!!! (yes that’s ten exclamation marks, thank you very much). Being shortlisted by Martha Stewart Weddings was (and is) such a big deal to us and it came at the best time…
Read MoreWe love Thanksgiving! Partially because it’s an excuse to pull out the ridiculous collection of table top pretties that we’ve hoarded over the years (we’ve got drawers of linens!) but mostly because bringing people together to feast and connect is a huge part of who we are. With COVID-19 still rampaging, our Thanksgiving may be a little smaller than usual but by no means is it going to be any less detailed or delectable.
Read MoreHalloween is just around the corner and if you’re anything like us this year, you may be scrambling to find some COVID-19 friendly spooky holiday fun without the usual parties or trick-or-treating. So we decided to take our dilemma to the inter-web and see what we could conjure up (puns intended). So without further ado, here are some curated collections of All Hallows Eve ideas…
Read MoreHilary and Alex met on their 2nd day of college in 2006 and instantly felt as though they’d known each other their whole lives. Over the next decade, this incredible couple became inextricably woven into each other’s lives spending time with family, traveling, and supporting each other’s impressive career goals. While Alex dreamed up amazing new technology (he sold his aptly named technology “Alexa” to Amazon right before proposing), Hilary worked incredibly diligently to earn her PHD …
Read MoreWe had the honor of helping our pals, Jennelle and Dwalu, with their intimate SoCal Wedding. The couple craved a cozy, laid-back vibe that represented them and that was the opposite of a traditional “wedding” venue. Casa Shelter Half, a private residence in the heart of Venice, had just what they were looking for and more. When they laid their eyes on the balcony that overlooks Abbot Kinney Blvd., just steps away from the restaurant where they had their first date, they knew they had found their perfect location.
Read MoreBoy, do we love a good brunch! But you know what's even better? Planning and designing a brunch event with Jillian of 100 Layer Cakelet to celebrate the amazing mama-to-be Lisa from The Wedding AC and using it as an excuse to hang with some of the coolest, most creative ladies in town. So yeah, that's pretty much a win, win, win, win in our book.
