{Birthday gift from my husband, who I’m slowly torturing while practicing some country songs} While I know time is constant, it always seems to speed by whenever you take a moment to think about it. It’s hard to believe we’re pretty much half way through 2013, but I felt like we were just ringing in [...]

Ask Emily

Phoebe Dean — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:00:53 +0000

Questions in this Episode: 1. “Do you have any photography tips/advice?” 2. “When having friends over for dinner how do you decide on a menu? What kind of ideas for summer get togethers?” 3. “I know in the past you’ve mentioned since you work at home (and for yourself!) it’s hard to actually stop working. [...]

Plaid and Peplum

Emily — Wed, 15 May 2013 08:00:44 +0000

Ray-Ban Aviators, J.Crew Top, Hermes Belt, J.Crew Pants, Louboutin Heels, Juicy Couture Clutch Most of the time when I have to get dressed for a meeting, I throw on a dress, add a pair of heels and run out the door. But this past week I switched it up a bit. Since jeans were too [...]

Charred Brussels Sprout Salad

Emily — Tue, 14 May 2013 20:00:18 +0000

I’ve obviously been on a salad kick lately, as evidenced by this post from a few weeks back and I’ve been experimenting with variations using different vegetables. One of my favorite dishes at Bäco Mercat is their Ceasar Brussels Sprouts, so I decided to create my own variation, which included charring the brussels and mixing [...]

Vintage Chairs: Before and After

Emily — Tue, 14 May 2013 08:00:22 +0000

A few months back at the Rose Bowl Flea Market, I found a pair of vintage wingback chairs for our office. Despite their age, they were remarkably comfortable, a classic shape, and I brought them both home for $75. But there was work to be done…a couple of the buttons were missing, they were an [...]

When I think of white shoes, they don’t necessarily conjure up stylish images in my head: I’m reminded of the blindingly bright Converse kicks I had as a kid, the shoes my dad matched to his wedding tux (true story), and the bad platform flip flops I wore in college. But the new strappy [...]

Wrap Around the Waist

Emily — Mon, 13 May 2013 08:00:52 +0000

Karen Walker Sunglasses, Rebecca Taylor Dress, Balenciaga Clutch, Zara Heels About a year ago, I was grabbing lunch on 3rd St. when I saw a woman in a pretty dress across the street. It was a simple, classic silhouette but with extra fabric that cinched around her waist. Disregarding traffic, I bolted across the street [...]

Mother’s Day Surprise

Emily — Sun, 12 May 2013 08:00:13 +0000

A few months back, I shared a sneak peek of our wedding video that Brian sent over. I thought it was perfect – it captured the day so beautifully and left me wanting more. Well, more came in the form of our final video we received this past week. Since it’s Mother’s Day (and I’ve [...]

{So happy that my parents came down to visit last week} I’m not sure if it’s just this new decade I recently entered or what, but this week just worked. Each day felt fulfilling – busy, but productive with enough room for leisurely lunches and wine with dinner. And while I already felt like our [...]

Summer Sandals

Phoebe Dean — Thu, 09 May 2013 22:00:16 +0000

In general, I usually find flats to be a bit boring, at least in comparison to the extensive variety of heels readily available. But this season I’ve been inspired by the new crop of embellished sandals. They’re an ideal complement to just about anything – a pair of white skinnies, a crisp shirtdress, or cut-off [...]

High-Waisted Skinnies

Celine Sunglasses, BB Dakota Trench (on sale), Zara Top, Blank Jeans, Manolo Blahnik Pumps, Clare Vivier Clutch, Essie ‘Avenue Maintain’ Nail Polish For someone with a disproportionately long torso,* I almost always go for high-waisted pants, since that extra bit of length in the leg is crucial. I have a couple pairs of trouser jeans that I love, but [...]

Karaoke Go-To Song

Emily — Tue, 07 May 2013 22:00:11 +0000

At some point in college, karaoke became a regular social outing with friends, which is around the same time I became intensely self conscious about my voice. I have a good ear, but that just means that when I hit the wrong note, I’m acutely aware of it. My first time, I chose a song I knew, [...]

Homemade Nutter Butters

Emily — Tue, 07 May 2013 08:00:36 +0000

A few weeks back, we made a late-night frozen yogurt run and per usual, I ditched my initial plans of topping it with fruit and opted for a combination of brownie bits, chocolate sauce, and miniature Nutter Butters. It was a pretty epic dessert and served as a reminder of just how much I love [...]

I’ve always loved the look of lucite when it comes to my home, so I’m happy that this trend has made its way to fashion in recent months. From clear straps on sandals to see-through bags, it’s a fun accent for warmer months. This red Charlotte Olympia perplex clutch is a really unique piece, but [...]

I’ve never been a big birthday person, at least when it comes to celebrating my own. It’s always made me slightly uneasy to put so much emphasis and expectation on one day, destined to disappoint.

Wildflower Burlap Bouquets

Emily — Thu, 02 May 2013 18:45:44 +0000

In an ideal world, I’d have exquisite floral arrangements in every corner of my house. But since that’s not exactly practical, I like to switch things up by discovering new flowers and pairing them in unique ways. I love a wildflower-inspired bouquet and for a little twist, I used different sized jars and wrapped them [...]
