Our daughter, stepdaughter, and stepson are all grown now (20s, 30s, living their lives). So what do I do? Here I am, writing about back-to-school season with tears, laughs, and maybe a little envy of moms still in the trenches. The other day, I overheard some of our younger friends talking about how this time […]

The CAMILLA SERRETI x Luxe Du Jour Private Collection Preview Picture this: The sun setting over the Pacific, glasses clinking with signature cocktails, waves crashing against the shore, and not a single camera could capture how good it all felt. That’s because some events aren’t meant to be seen. They’re meant to be felt. And […]

Two boats. Two nights. Two states’ worth of friends. And a level of bougie indulgence that would make Gatsby jealous. I came in hot from Texas (literally and figuratively) landing straight into a double-header July 4th weekend that had everything: fireworks, Nobu, 65-foot yachts, and a hot tub finale. July 4th: Fireworks, Fate, and My […]

A Story I’ll Never Forget We were in New York City on one of our signature girls’ trips, there was shopping, laughing, and soaking in every city vibe. Sitting in the backseat of a sleek black SUV headed to an Indian restaurant, Kelley was on the phone with her husband. I sat right next to […]

The Countdown Is ON Prime Day Starts JULY 8–11 If you’re anything like me, online shopping is a full-blown love-hate relationship. And Prime Day? It’s like tossing gasoline on that retail fire. 🔥 But here’s the difference—I’ve already done the damage for you (in the best way). Everything I’m sharing here? I personally own, use, […]

Joe and I love our Texas lake house! It’s a non-stop summer hangout with back-to-back weekend hosting, grilling, boating, and all the good chaos. But when the Fourth of July rolls around? One place always calls us back: our oceanfront home in Laguna. Fireworks lighting up the Pacific, old friends packed into every room, and […]

After hosting the most spectacular, empowering women’s event at our Laguna Beach home, complete with fashion icons, celebrity stylists, Orange County Housewives, and a guest list that still gives me chills, Hammitt reached out with a simple question: “How about we do a rinse and repeat in Texas?” And who am I to say no […]

Let me start by being totally upfront: I went into this completely blind, not knowing a single thing about podcasting. No roadmap. No five-step formula. Just me, a mic, my incredible videographer, and a heart full of faith in what the Lord had in store. I thought, “Let’s just give it a shot.” I didn’t […]

Twice a Year, Because I Shop Too Much Every spring and fall, I dive into my closet, not because I’m a minimalist, but because I shop a lot. My process? I create a stack of items and FaceTime my daughter, Kelley. She’s close to my size, has a sharp eye for fashion, and as a […]

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I love people, creativity, and anything with a beautiful backstory. This month, I hosted an intimate art and fashion event at our oceanfront home in Laguna Beach featuring Texas-based mixed media artist Ash Almonte—and it was truly one for the books. This all started […]
