Nothing “sparks joy” in my life quite like dining at a – really f*cking awesome and downright delicious – *new* restaurant in LA. And then sharing the bounties of my discoveries with my best friends of course! It’s a full-time job trying to keep up with the dining scene in LA, but know that...
Dressing for the holidays has easily got to be my favorite time of year to get serious – and have some serious fun – with my “lewks”. Bold colors, new textures, sparkly accessories – I want it all! The thing with dressing for the holidays though is that as much fun as it...
In my humble sentimental opinion, the best gifts are often the ones that you can experience together – whether it puts you out of your comfort zone, you pick up a new skill, or you fail and you get the opportunity to laugh at each other (let’s be honest, that’s usually the...
From big to small, it should come as no surprise that I am ALL about supporting local LA businesses when I shop for my friends and loved ones. Angelenos are just so damn talented they make it so easy! I could easily run down a list of 100+ things but for the sake...
Just when I thought I couldn’t love the Pacific Northwest any more than I did already… I spent 4 days in Vancouver at Fairmont Pacific Rim and almost never left. Why?

Whether you’re a resident or just a visitor, I love reminding people that if you don’t find yourself a big fan of LA, there’s a good chance that you prrroooobablyyyy just don’t know what to do. This city is understandably overwhelming, but I am of the mindset that its charm and accessibility mostly outweigh its stereotypes and...
With a reputation for being high energy, trendy, and utterly chic, West Hollywood is without a doubt one of LA’s most beloved neighborhoods. You’ve got areas like the famed Sunset Strip, eclectic Santa Monica Blvd, and the Hollywood Design District that help make the city of West Hollywood a destination known for its incredible nightlife,...
Even the happiest, most magical place on Earth can be a somewhat stressful and confusing place to be – even for those of us who’ve visited many-a-times. For four years I lived in Orange County and worked as a Downtown Disney “Cast Member” at the House of Blues Anaheim, so it’s safe to assume I’ve...
Fall is hands down my favorite season to dress for – even though LA doesn’t experience those more obvious signs of seasons changing, I’d like to think that we have a unique advantage of making Fall fashion whatever we want it to be. Thanks to our typical temperate weather, hunny you can have whatever...
