There’s a house in my neighborhood that has a candle in every window and every time I pass it, it’s so warm and welcoming that it makes me want to cry. At this, the darkest time of year, let’s be the light. Happy December, everyone.

The most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner! And that means our 8th annual Haute Halloween party! Save the date!

It’s funny how we hold onto things so tightly, thinking that if we let them go we’ll somehow cease to be who we are. It’s magic when you release something you have held so tightly, be it a relationship, a job, a situation, a commitment, and in the vacancy it left behind you can finally breathe. Look yourself in the eye. Evolve. And make space for what is waiting to be born through you.

Happy Lunar New Year! The fireworks at midnight warmed my Eurasian heart. Here’s to the year of the pig, may it be filled with peace and prosperity!
Next month, I’m embarking on a trip to Europe, starting in London, then onto Madrid and to the south of Spain for my annual flamenco pilgrimage. It’s my first time in London, so if you have any favorite places to recommend, please share!
Lately I’m completely obsessed with blackletter calligraphy and am waiting with bated breath to see all the incredible hand drawn signs London has to offer! I promise to share!
