Modern home with twin staircases designed by Michael Lee Architects
2300 square foot modern home with twin staircases designed by Michael Lee Architects is one of the homes on the AIA-Los Angeles Fall Home Tour. (above)

Tomorrow I head to Manhattan Beach for another great AIA-Los Angeles architecture tour – the AIA’s Michael Din was kind enough to invite me along.

Will be seeing four ultra modern homes in this beach side community (two of the homes are pictured here)…all styled by architects in Los Angeles.

Can’t wait!

    I wish I had the time to come down to Southern California (I’m up north in Silicon Valley) to attend. There is also a great home tour in Irvine going on right now that I’d love to go to! I’ll just have to live vicariously through the blogs!

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.

It’s the depth of velvet that changes a space. A l It’s the depth of velvet that changes a space.
A little softness, a little sheen, and suddenly the room feels lived in and elevated.
Would you bring velvet into your home?

It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ , founder and designer of luxury furniture brand @hartisparis_ at a small gathering in the 7ème, near the Musée d’Orsay. I was there with my new friends, Scarlette and Sarah.
The apartment itself was incredible! Tall ceilings, terrazzo floors, right along the Seine, but what really stood out was the furniture.
Turns out, it was Hugo's exquisite work.
The pieces are designed around everyday gestures: sitting, leaning, resting, but interpreted in a way that feels elevated and intentional. There’s a balance of structure and softness, where architectural lines meet more organic textures and forms.
He invited me back the next day to see everything more clearly, outside of the party setting, and it completely changed how I experienced it. The pieces feel intentional and refined, with a strong focus on material and form.
Sharing a closer look at his work here.
My Paris dream life keeps happening again and again!

Spaces where the bones do all the talking. Vaulte Spaces where the bones do all the talking.
Vaulted ceilings, warm wood, and light pouring in. Everything feels grounded, layered, and quietly inviting.
What detail stands out to you first? 🤎
