Living in the Moment

Just a quickie hello to say...

I’m quite guilty of this too guys…really trying to make a conscious effort to simply eat without instagramming and live without documenting….

At least ONE day per week ;D

Gotta start somewhere right!?!

Who’s with me???

Scenes from a Hollywood-themed Baby Shower

She’s a big-time Emmy-winning entertainment sports producer, he’s a huge action hero movie star, together they are bonafide Hollywood A-listers whom just happen to be my near and dear friends. So it was only fitting that we shower Annie and Robin's baby-on-the-way with a megawatt celebration fit for the new upcoming star in their lives- Baby Brandon!

Another amazing cake design by Taylor Cake Creations!!! Love that red-carpet runner!

Oscar gold for good luck :D And a sound stage for impromptu karaoke!

Hollywood walk of fame leads up to the red carpet walk!

Watch out for paparazzi!

Shaded seating to beat the heat!

It's ALL about the props!

Lights! Camera! A star is born!

Don't say "baby" game! Say the word, you lose a clip!

Sundays are perfect for brunching with champagne mimosas!

The incredible gourmet buffet...yummmmms!

Baby bingo! Match the celebrity with their baby!

Event designs are my FAVE type of entertainment productions...what's better than booze and babies??? (Not that they go together at all! hahaha)

Mama's growing belly is one of the MOST gorgeous I've ever seen!

Event Design: Yours truly :D

*With the help of my amazing team Loan and Jen*

Home Tour: Melanie Duncan

It’s been a HOT minute since a home tour stopped me dead in my tracks. Not for the over-the-top fabulousness of furniture, nor for the brilliant assortment of accessories and objets d’art but I swear Melanie Duncan’s home is a spitting image of how my LA pad’s developed over the past few months. Matte gray symmetrical bookshelves, check! Black and white striped upholstery, check! Gilded gold ceiling, checkmate honey! Great minds really DO think alike!

Can’t wait to show y’all the FINAL reveal…We’re approximately 3 weeks away and counting! Eeeeeek- sooo friggin’ excited! You think I can call the RUE gals down to make a cameo?? Gotta rethink those dark walls so you’re not seeing double honey!

Hope your week's off to the most glamorous start!

Happy Monday my loves!

Food Porn Friday- 555 East American Steakhouse

555 East reminds me of an upscale Ruth's Chris' with their piping hot buttery plates of steak and the ubiquitous wine chambers that line just about every vertical wall surface. The vibe: Jazz lounge club where much older cigar-smoking gentlemen hit on 30-something hotties (present company included) with a cocktail and a business card. Oman I can still smell the seniors even amongst all that garlic butter! Although I'm a TOTAL Mastro's gal myself, it's always nice to get out of the Bolsa bubble for a change of pace and scenery.

I love that you can book 1 of 3 banquet spaces for any party over 10 peeps and dine in a private room set up just for you and your galpals. We celebrated Caitlin's birthday with a smorgasbord of delectable sides (12 total!) and oh yeah...shared 1 piece of steak while we were at it :D
