A diner party under the sea. A celestial inspiration where seashells whisper a fantastic story and the tablecloth shimmers like the light dancing through crystal blue waters. A dinner party designed to make us feel like sirens, draped in iridescent silk dresses, fingers wrapped around delicate stems of impossibly chic shell wine glasses that hum the song of the ocean with every sip – this is a tantalizing scene, calling us to the sea. With piles of pearls spilling out from the pink hollow of a murex shell and sealife slowly encrusting the silver candelabras, it feels as though we have been transported to the bottom of the ocean. A vision inspired by the idea of  an elegant ballroom of a shipwreck where a sunken table stands still against the hands of time, the nature of the sea quietly taking over, transforming the elegant setting from one originally enjoyed by humans into something otherworldly. Something worthy of the deep blue sea.

Spring has arrived. Mother Nature, slowly waking up from her wintertime slumber, has begun to bloom and stretch into a new season. There is a sense of tenderness with the delicate blossoms of spring’s early flowers, branches budding to life with pale pinks and soft greens quietly emerging from sleepy winter browns. It is a season that encourages gentle starts bathed in butter yellow sunshine, moments filled with intention and just the right amount of sweetness. A time where slow mornings feel most natural.

In a world where mindlessly scrolling while slipping further into the algorithm void has become an inescapable ritual, I feel it is imperative that we uncover little bits of joy for ourselves and rediscover a life full of creativity. Curating moments that make the day-to-day feel less monotonous and more like reaching into an almost forgotten pocket of extraordinary is at the forefront of my mind these days. Over the past few years I have devoted much of my energy towards making slices of my life feel sensational. From falling in love with dating myself to hosting iconic dinner parties that feel impossibly magical, I have not shied away from intentional living. 

For a night, it is possible to be somewhere else entirely. Someone else if you so wish. With a clandestine air to the evening and intrigue burning under the candlelight, the magic of the night takes over and who you were before stepping into the salon is forgotten, if only for a moment. And sometimes if you are really honest with yourself, it is behind the mask that we can finally be who we truly want to be. 

Sometimes to travel the world, you simply need to put on a classic film and imagine your favorite Italian café. For when done right, dinner and a movie is more than just something to do, it is a way to experience life in a whole new way.

Million dollar views, a trio of snacks and a filthy martini – This is the scene of my favorite bar. Exclusive, hard to get into unless you know the right people and the place everyone knows my name.
