This past week I went to the Malibu pier for a farewell luncheon for a good friend here in L.A. It was such a beautiful, simple setting and the food is delicious. It comes from the Larry Thorne Family Farm in Malibu.

What to buy your husband for Christmas!

Men can be hard to shop for.  For my husband this year I am doing mostly clothing and a few gadgets, toiletries, ect. My husband's stack on Christmas morning is always bigger than the kids. He has never openly discussed this but I know that he likes a giant Christmas, probably because it makes him feel like a kid again (and his mom is amazing and did/does the best Christmas gif- giving ever). Here are some ideas for your husband.  

1.  The skinny tie. The slim suit is super chic and needs a slim tie to go with it:

theory roadster tie in luster silk (I love this grey and the blue)

2.  Flattering sweat pants...I know do we really want to encourage this? It is inevitable so make them chic!

Book Club Party

I have always wanted to have a book club that met four times a year (once per month is way more of a commitment than I can possibly make). I rounded up some moms from school and am so excited to get together with school friends. This time of year is crazy; volunteer heavy, Santa's workshop going full force, so I opted to order food from Clementine. Clementine is the source of all homemade goodness in L.A. I went crazy at Whole Foods with the flowers and arranged up a storm, bought some good fromage and am good to go.  

The Hour d'oeuvres and dessert source: If you live in L.A. you must run not walk here. Clementine:
