Stop by the new beautifully redesigned in Corona Del Mar. Iris and Mary are the best and their selection of clothes, handbags and jewelry is amazing! I’ve been shopping there for years and I always find great pieces! Today they are celebrating their new store and it’s beautiful. Stop by for treats, champs and of course their amazing merchandise!

I came home to this sweet letter from this past weekends client. I feel so lucky and thankful for all my clients!!!!!

Every now and then a client asks for a cake and I can’t say no. Here’s the latest one for this weekend’s baby shower event.

Friday night drink of choice thanks to very approachable to drink and on your wallet. Highly recommend it!

We finally got to have our Thanksgiving last night. I am thankful for my family always supporting me with my crazy holiday schedule. Even though we don’t get to celebrate on the “official” dates we still make sure we celebrate and get together! I was sad to hear that I was outvoted in switching our turkey to prime rib next year. I was told that my turkey was the best they’d ever had and can’t give it up! 🥰🥰🥰Guess I can’t argue against that praise. Definitely feel loved! Thank you!

Let the girls weekend begin! Cheese,charcuterie and crudités platter ready for delivery 🚚 ✔️
