My favorite places in Los Angeles, spoiler: Erewhon isn’t on the list

From a 36-year-old grandmillennial mom who loves a beautiful table, a good coffee, and anywhere that makes everyday life feel a little more special. Save this for your next trip.

@hotelbelair The lesser known secret of LA’s most infamous hotels, tucked into the foothills. Come for the bar—live music, a classic lounge, and that old-world energy.
@bevhillshotel Iconic for a reason. Poolside, Polo Lounge, or the Fountain Coffee Room—then walk the gardens and make an afternoon of it.
@georgianroom A hidden steakhouse with a piano bar. No phones, low lighting, live music… it feels like another era.
@baltaire A classic LA steakhouse—beautiful, buzzy, and always reliable. Perfect for date night or brunch.
@sunset_tower Old Hollywood done right. I come when I want something timeless.
@thevioletla A cozy, elevated French spot. Perfect for date night—especially the courtyard.
@vibratogrilljazz Dinner and a show. More of a music venue, and such a fun night out.
@themaybournebh European summer on the terrace, ceiling fresco and the best pizza @dantebeverlyhills
@ivyrestaurants a pink slice of California glamour. Come for brunch, stay for the ivy gimlets
@monsieurmarcelfm My little corner of Paris at the Farmers Market. Order something classic and take your time.
@lamonique.la Swanky and transportive—feels like Paris or London, I’m obsessed!
@brentwoodcountrymart Easy, charming, and very LA. Lunch, a little shopping, and somehow you stay longer than planned.
Farmer’s Markets (all over) The best way to spend a slow morning—shopping, eating, and supporting local.
@caffeluxxe The best coffee in LA. I always leave in a better mood.
@tsujita_us Tsukemen at Tsujita is one of my favorite meals in the city. Always worth the wait.
@tavernatony Greek food, ocean air, and live music. The perfect end to a Malibu day.
@theoriginallaflowermarket Go early. The best flowers in the city and always something special.
@greystonebh A historic estate turned public park—quiet, elegant, and tucked away.
@thehuntingtonlibrary An entire day well spent.

Save for your next trip.

7 years later—now with him 🤍

I used to see getting engaged as the end goal,
but coming back, it feels so much more like the beginning.

I’ll always find a reason to celebrate—like the anniversary of our engagement.
But marriage, dare I say, has made me a little more flexible.
More trusting of the relationship as a whole… almost in a quiet, faith-like way.

It’s wild to think about the 2018 version of me saying that.
And just as wild to imagine the versions of us still to come—without getting too caught up in what that looks like.

I just hope whatever version of me comes next feels good about her life.
And hopefully has some beautiful photos and parties to show for it (some things don’t need to change).

Happy engagement anniversary, Arthur, let’s keep celebrating! Xx

My favorite way to spend time in a new place—early, alone and with treats (and my tripod) 🤍 @bouchon_bakery

Before the day begins—coffee, a slow walk, and nowhere to be yet.

It’s a small part of the day, but always the one I remember most!

Yountville—we loved you! This was one of the first vacays with Parker where I truly felt relaxed, we walked almost everywhere, ate all the good things and spent a lot of time lounging by the pool.

I have officially found my landing pad in the Napa Valley, all the details of what we did and where we stayed on Monica Gisele dot com and Substack. 🤍

The prettiest party I’ve hosted at home—and somehow one of the simplest. 🍊

I’ve been making amateur arrangements for years, attempting to recreate my Pinterest saves, but finally sitting down and learning how to do it (properly) was so helpful.

I hosted a small floral arranging afternoon with Jelena of @violafloral (she offers workshops in her Santa Monica studio and private events like this), and we had the best time.

If you’ve been wanting to host something a little different, this is a lovely place to start.

Full details are on Substack + the blog if you want to recreate it.

I’ve been meaning to take a floral arranging class for a long time—after many very amateur arrangements at home and recent trips to the flower market, it felt like time to actually learn the difference between using floral foam and chicken wire!

Thankfully our sweet instructor Jelena @violafloral led us through it so effortlessly—she offers workshops at her studio in Santa Monica as well as private events like this, and it made the whole afternoon feel both relaxed and special.

“These kids are walking into our lives too… right?”

All jokes aside, it ended up being such a cute morning for them. One of the reasons I actually love hotel breakfasts with kids is that they’re surprisingly easy — there’s usually space to wander, things to see, and the staff are so used to little guests. Most of the great hotels already have coloring books, crayons, and kid-friendly options ready to go.

My friend @coconut_mama_ and I had the nicest time catching up, and the Beverly Hills Hotel will always feel like such a special place. 🤍🍋

No one does summer quite like Europe—

It’s a lake town, but with an 18th-century neoclassical villa.
It’s a seafood restaurant, but it’s carved into a cliffside.
It’s a boat ride, but the view is a cascade of pastel homes.

The way people vacation here always feels different. A holiday for many Europeans means easy mornings, longer afternoons, and evenings that stretch well past sunset. The intention seems less about doing and more about enjoying—la dolce far niente, as the Italians say: the sweetness of doing nothing.

Children get to be children, and adults don’t seem fazed by it—little ones hunting for treasures in the piazza while the rest of us do the same in our own way… whether that’s wandering a Provençal bastide turned five-star hotel or lingering over one more glass of wine.

It’s a sensibility I’ve never quite found anywhere else.

Here’s to hoping a villeggiatura is in your future. ✨

Sometimes Instagram looks like my life is all beautiful tables, chic hotels, and outfits I carefully planned—if I’m doing my job correctly 🥂

But let me “de-influence” you for a second.

Most days I’m seeing clients for therapy all day long, raising a preschooler and trying to keep our household running without completely burning out.

The beautiful things I share here aren’t my everyday reality — they’re the moments I intentionally create inside it.

This space has always remained a destination I can fully creatively express myself and I have no plans of changing that concept but I wanted to shed some light on some of what you may not see here.

Romanticizing life isn’t pretending things are perfect.
It’s choosing to notice and embrace beauty, a skill I’ve been employing as self-care since graduate school.

Enjoy! Xx

Dear St. Valentine,
I want a love letter from my son, pizza and champs in bed with my hubby, and cocktails and conversation somewhere chic with the girls.

Whatever love you’re celebrating this year, cheers to you. 🍾
