From me & my fellow designer 🙂

What do you do when you forgot to order a cake for your daughter’s birthday party?

Try making it yourself.



Chloe approved. 🙂

My little baby is eight!

We set up a little holiday event at Vince on Madison ave, NYC today.

With Ms. Chloe’s help, I set up in no time.

Chloe was my awesome help today!

I made hot coco:

For Chloe’s with a heart

and for Shane, with a monkey face.

Kids and I are making gingerbread houses!

Loving this season…

Kids made Thankful Turkey poster. They each wrote what they are thankful for this year…

How sweet!

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be partnering with VINCE this holiday season! With a launch of VINCE BABY line, they asked me to join them for a holiday shopping & gifting event that will take place next weekend!

I’ve been a fan of their casual, sophisticated & luxurious styles for years, and I can’t wait to check out their new BABY line.

I’ll be offering a 10% discount for my custom-made baby pendants & featuring some of my newest collections. Please share this post and stop by to say hello! Rumor tells me that they’ll also have champagne & gourmet nuts.

Plus, my cutest assistant Chloe will be there on Saturday to keep me company. 😉

We’re playing Dr. Feel-einstein game.  Kids have to put their hands in each numbered bag and guess which part of body parts they are feeling.

In the bags were:

• Dried Apricots – Tongues
• Cooked, Cold Spaghetti Noodles – Hair
• Peeled Grapes – Eyeballs
• Peeled Tomato – Heart
• Candy Corns – Teeth
• Baby Dill Pickles – Nose
• Cauliflower – Brain
• Slime – Booger (the best one!)

The facial expressions were priceless!

Then, make Mummies : This is about to get really messy…

Kids decorated their own candy apples.

Today was the last official soccer game of the season and Chloe broke out of her shell! She was on defense and managed to steal the ball and kick it away. What. 

She’s been so timid about kicking the ball and had kind of a nonchalant attitude towards the games this whole season…which was fine. It’s her first time and I loved seeing her enjoy just being out with her friends on the field and we also loved Saturdays mornings as a family and seeing the kids play. 

This morning it was freezing cold and raining but again the girls played a really good game. And when Chloe kicked that ball, everyone including the players and all the parents shouted her name and cheered for her. It was one of the moments that I will always remember. I was so proud of her and also really appreciated all the encouragements and support. We had great coaches and awesome team members. Go Blue Bombers! You were unbeatable!

Look at her in action!
