Rachel Blumenthal

Explaining why Rachel Blumenthal is awesome in one short paragraph is no easy feat. With a stellar background in the fashion industry (think YSL and Rachel Leigh Jewelry and Warby Parker), it’s no surprise that the Manhattanite snagged a spot in the tastemaker hall of fame early on with a feature on The Coveteur. And since then? The mama to one […]

Safari Green

So, I’m calling it right now: safari green is my color this summer. It’s on my nails, it’s in my closet, I’ve even gone as far as gifting it to friends and family (whether they share my affinity or not). Of course, the khaki hue is anything but trendy — back in 2009 it inspired Ralph Lauren‘s spring collection (pictured […]

20 Best Swimsuits of 2015

After a thorough peruse of my favorite online shops, I realized: swimsuit shopping has never been better. Necklines are getting higher, tassels are tying up crocheted bottoms, and creative cut-outs are appearing in more places than one. After tracking down both the trendiest and most classic suits for this summer, we say: spring for both! Pack a […]

Garden Fresh Cocktails for Spring

If your mom is anything like mine, her drinking habits are… well, minimal. No matter the occasion, you can bet that her first glass of wine will be her last, and shortly thereafter it’s straight to bed (no shame mom, we both know that’ll likely be me in a few years.) That being said, there’s no […]

Shake Up Your Makeup for Spring

Powder eyeshadow and matte lipstick are my staples during the winter, but around this time of year, I usually find myself craving a change-up in my makeup routine. My favorite way to shake things up? Checking out not just the fresh shades of the season, but the innovative new textures that are available. From demi-matte […]

Summer Heat Wave

Don’t you just love May? For starters, in terms of holidays–Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day and Memorial Day–there’s a little something for everyone. The weather is warm, but not yet scorching and the promise of an impending tropical getaway lingers in the air. Last week in L.A., however, the weather was doing its best late […]

Treat Your Mom to the Best Brunch Ever

Like many families, most of our favorite traditions center around food: planning meals together, making them, and then of course – sitting around the table eating them. If there’s one recipe that represents family togetherness most to me, it would undoubtedly be my mom’s almond kringle that she’s made for holidays ever since I was […]

Creamy Oatmeal with Rhubarb & Ginger Preserves

The first signs of spring are finally showing up here on the East Coast — and one of my favorites is the fresh rhubarb that’s suddenly available! After a long winter where citrus were the only in-season fruits, I’m ready for something bright and juicy. This oatmeal is the perfect simple breakfast bowl to remind you […]
