Last winter, Consort Design opened in Los Angeles and immediately became my favorite local resource for unique furniture and decor. (Remember when I shared photos of the store?) One of the things I love most about the store is the way art is integrated so seamlessly into the mix. Proprietors Mat and Brandon select an impeccable combination of […]
Heaven knows I love a good sale, and I’m definitely no stranger to stalking a pair of shoes or a sweater throughout the season until the discounts hit. The trouble is, of course, that once you nab your prey, the number of weeks you can wear it before the temperatures change are often short and bittersweet! That’s exactly […]
Since moving into a 590-square foot home two years ago, my interiors style has evolved considerably. I’m increasingly drawn to angular, airy, modern spaces with as little adornment possible. Yet I love an inviting, lived-in room just as much as ever, so the challenge has been to keep things feeling contemporary without veering towards cold […]
I’ve just returned from Las Vegas Market, the biggest interiors trade show on the west coast, and as you can imagine my brain is full to bursting with all the new and drool-worthy traditional, modern, and global decor goodies I spotted! In addition to coveting plenty of individual items, I’m always reeling from how beautifully the showrooms display […]
This post was created in partnership with World Market. If I had to pinpoint the beginnings of my design obsession, I’d trace them back to the trips I used to take with my mom to World Market. In those days we called it Cost Plus, and the brand’s locations were much fewer and far between than they […]
How are you at sleeping in? I give myself an F in this department. I’m a morning person by nature, which is great when there are places to go and people to see and cat antics to Snapchat. It’s not so handy, however, on a Saturday morning after a long, tiring week. Even when my […]
I still recall the moment I learned about Serena & Lily. It was in the brand’s early days, when I unexpectedly received a lookbook in the mail. After pouring over pages of gorgeous nursery bedding, I thought to myself: ‘Man I hope these guys are still around when I have a baby!’ Well, the company is not only […]
I have a ton of respect for anyone who can pull off boho style in their everyday life. Here in LA, there’s no shortage of lithe, willowy women strolling through the grocery store in printed caftans, or pumping gas in kimono robes. Whenever I try the look, I’m utterly overwhelmed by the heady combination of pattern, color, and […]
Did you catch last night’s lunar eclipse? The sky over my house was cloudy for almost the entire thing, and I was totally bummed as I’d really been looking forward to the event! I’m not much of an astronomy buff myself, but I do have deeply engrained memories of my dad pulling out his telescope […]
For my entire adult live, I’ve lived in apartments…until now, that is! Not long ago I moved in with my boyfriend, and we currently share a tiny craftsman bungalow in LA’s Highland Park neighborhood. For the first time since leaving my parents’ house I have freedom from noisy neighbors, my own washer and dryer, and—wonder of […]
