FABULOUS EVENT – HALL & OATES

by Leave a Comment

Hall & Oates {a duo comprised of Daryl Hall & John Oates} absolutely killed it in the 70's.  Too young to have heard of them? No, you're not... Too cool for them? Definitely not.  With songs like "Rich Girl," "Maneater," and "Out of Touch" {click the title to be linked to the song...}, you'll be thrown into the throes of the 70's before you know it... and that's a good thing.  I was so ...

My company {learn all about it here} was hired to coordinate and design an extravagant Malibu estate wedding.  The weather was perfect, the bride couldn't have been more beautiful, and the groom made everyone smile throughout the day.  After the intimate rose covered ceremony {photos of the ceremony are excluded at the request of the bride and groom to preserve the intimate nature of the ...

People that you love... and {if you're really lucky} that love you... make everything worthwhile.  I have a tendency to get caught up in all of the beautifully busy moments of life {as I'm sure you do, as well} and, in turn, my birthday came and went without all of the pomp and circumstance to which the people around me have become accustomed {I am known to have a great affinity for throwing a ...

FABULOUS SANTA BARBARA SPOT – SHINE

by Leave a Comment

After hearing that a bonafide blow dry bar {no cuts. no color. just blow outs.} had opened up in Montecito on Coast Village Road, I knew that I had to check it out.  Little did I know that I would be {pun intended} blown away by the whole experience.  The Coast Village Road location is exclusive enough to give this blow dry bar the necessary caché... but Shine goes above and beyond what is ...
