Now that I am 33 weeks pregnant, I wanted to make a list of some things I have relied on and loved to use during my pregnancy. This time has been so beautifulβ changing, tiring and full of transition and growth. I feel so lucky to have had a relatively easy pregnancy, but these products below have made all of the difference too.
I am drawn to Mediterranean interiors, natural textures and colors β our home reflects that. We went to the south of France last summer and I was inspired by the hotel we stayed at (HΓ΄tel Les Roches Rouges). I brought that inspiration back home with me. Collect pieces every time you travel to cherish. Choose natural materials and those that will leave little to no impact on the environment. Make your home cozy and inviting, and always leave the windows open for lots of fresh air.
I have been traveling from California to New York and back again a lot this winter and having footwear that is transitional is a must for me. I came across the brand Huma Blanco earlier this year and was deeply inspired by their ethos and designs.
Made Hotel was a photogenic oasis in the center of Manhattan. As we took the elevator up to the sixteenth floor, an excitement rose as we walked through our door. A beautiful, modern room welcomed us for our four night stay.
As we pull under the overhang to escape the bustling LA streets, a grey concrete building sat in front of us with a solid wood door. I pulled it open with ease to reveal Santa Monica Properβs sophisticated, neutral-toned lobby with textures that were art nouveau, rustic and everything in between. An exciting getaway encompassing great food, poolside oasis, a rooftop bar, and an eastern-style wellness spa was awaiting us.
Florence was complete magic. There is so much charm in this city and between the art, history, shopping and food, I could have stayed in Florence much longer than anticipated.
Waking up to swishing boats outside my window and walking up and down the bridges through the canals, I felt like I was in a movie. I spent four days in Venice, which was just enough time to try some amazing food and coffee, wander through churches and museums, and scout some shops along the way.
Paris is one of those places you can fall in love with time and time again. There is something about the way the light hits the city during sunset and the charm that awaits on every corner. Between the cafes, coffee shops, museums, and shopping, I have jotted down a list of my favorite places to go. Paris is a beautiful and charming city, and it is easy to see why they call it the city of love.
Saying hello to Erstwhile Jewelry while they are in Los Angeles and trying on some gorgeous rings, both vintage and designed.
interview excerpt
from Cienne
βSHE DOESNβT GIVE US HER WHOLE SELF, AT LEAST ON THE SURFACE SHE DOESNβT. ITβS AN ART REALLY. THE ART OF OF LEAVING PEOPLE GUESSING. SHE TEACHES US HOW IMAGES AND FASHION CAN SHOW SOMEONEβS INSIDES, SOMEONEβS AUTHENTICITY. THAT HIDING UNDER CLOTHES IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT ONE MIGHT THINK. ITβS A LOOK AT WHATβS INSIDE.β
MOTHERHOOD
As a new mama, there were a few things that really helped me during those first few tender weeks of recovery and motherhood. While everyone has a different postpartum journey, these items were things I relied on.
