Congrats Class of 2017!

I’ve become more and more interested in event planning and recently planned a graduation party for a family friend with 100 guests! We wanted a tropical atmosphere that was fun for the grads and also felt elevated for the adults. Décor is my jam and my absolute favorite part of planning parties. I really went to town on Etsy. When we were about a week away from the party and the RSVPs kept coming, I hightailed it to Bonjour Fete in Studio City. Highly recommend if you live in the area. It’s the cutest party store ever! I like that…

The Girl In The Yellow Dress

  Hello and Happy Tuesday! How is everyone holding up? I had a very fun weekend (read: lots of champs). Back in January, I joined a social group called the LA Spinsters, which has been a really great way to meet new friends. We had a Havana Nights-themed black tie ball on Saturday night, and it was fabulous!!! During cocktail hour, there was even a waitress wearing a metal skirt full of champagne flutes for all of the guests to grab. She was obviously v. popular, lol! Totally recommend her if you’re planning an over-the-top affair. I wore this black…

Accessorize with a firecracker red lip, Ray-Bans and wedges and you’re all set for a sun-soaked summer day. I’m writing this post on a Friday night. My plans for tonight got canceled, and…

You Say Summer, I Say Stripes

First things first- Thank you so much for your amazing feedback on my last blog post. It can be scary to hit the Publish button on a personal post, but every note I received made me feel like I was wrapped in a giant hug. Thank you <3 Who can’t resist a good summer stripe? I have 5 million striped dresses (and counting), but the pretty eyelet sleeves on this dress convinced me I needed another one. It’s like my favorite, worn-it-to-death striped T-shirt but so, so much better. This dress is one-and-done at its best. You throw it on…

You May Be Starting To Get It Right

Hi there! I hope y’all are having a fabulous Memorial Day weekend and the rosé is flowin’. I’ve been playing with this post for a while. Getting personal on Brooke du jour has always been somewhat difficult territory for me. It is very easy for me to come up with cute quips about my extensive striped shirt collection, but I want to delve a little deeper in this post. Back in January, I decided to fearlessly pursue what sets my heart on fire and move back to LA to be with my family and focus on Brooke du jour. In…
