Tuesday we stopped by Philz Coffee on the way to Manhattan Beach. We spent the morning walking along the ocean and admiring all the amazing homes! Next we met up with our friends, Perry and Emily, and headed to Ballast Point Long Beach for lunch. I ordered the mussels which were amazing and the beer was great, too! That afternoon we drove from Long Beach to the Palos Verdes Cliffs. Our climb down to the water was a bit adventurous but worth it! Tuesday evening we headed back to Koreatown for dinner with all the Froends!
Hello, California!
We kicked off our week in California staying with our friends Matt & Caitlin in Westlake Village! Nothing better than dinner at Nonna with an espresso martini!
August Around The Web
August was a bit more relaxed as Summer starts to wind down. At the beginning of the month I settled back into my work from home routine after coming home from Utah, we spent time with our nephews and celebrated Mike’s birthday, Dale and I worked on planning our Europe trip with Sophie and Alex, we spent as much time as possible at the pool, I went to an outdoor Fusion pop-up class, the Smith family visited the Auschwitz exhibit at Union Station, Holiday Mart planning got busier as the show approached, Dale and I attended a couple’s shower for Laura and Ashton, and we spent a weekend hanging out with our high school friends Syd and Sal!
Around the web this month this propagation wall tutorial caught my eye because our fiddle is nearing the ceiling! Not sure if I will be brave enough to propagate, but saving just in case!
Another fun DIY I discovered was this checkered bowl!
Always on the lookout for pasta recipes!
I keep coming back to this belt bag…
Someday I would love to stay at the Ludlow in NYC!
Matte balloons seem to be trending at the moment.
The most exciting news of the month is that I signed up for Nuuly! I can’t wait for my first box to arrive in early September!
Soak up the end of summer!
Laura’s Last Rodeo!
My best friend Laura is getting hitched and we headed to Park City, Utah for her bachelorette weekend! We arrived on Thursday and wandered around Main Street before Pizza back at our Airbnb. Friday we hiked Bloods Lake Trail, enjoyed an amazing lunch at Wasatch Brewery and then went out on the town. Our last full day was spent horseback riding at Red Pine Adventures before dressing up for Laura’s Last Rodeo! Park City was beautiful and I would love to go back to ski!
July Around The Web
July has gone by so FAST. This month my Junior League Dinner Club resumed after a long hiatus, we celebrated the Fourth of July with Dale’s family in town from Chicago, I got to see some work friends at happy hour, Dale and I headed to LA and Vegas for bachelor/bachelorette parties, I got to see Grace preform in Mamma Mia, we went to the zoo with my nephews, made it to the pool a few times, Alyson and I hosted a bridal shower for Laura and we ended the month in Park City for her bachelorette. WOW. I’m also still working from home (for the foreseeable future) and found Brittany’s office makeover especially inspiring!
Love this wavy mirror DIY – I’m seeing this look everywhere!
And another beautiful mirror DIY!

Hello, august!
The Landing Grill & Sushi Bar
Saturday night we headed to The Landing Grill & Sushi Bar for dinner! Not only was the sushi amazing, but we got a stunning sunset, too. (My new favorite wine is Cakebread Cellars Sauvignon Blanc.) Dale also spent the weekend celebrating in Vegas with Matt. We can’t wait for the wedding week festivities!
