FEMME NEXT DOOR

CONVERSATIONS

Ashleigh Barice always stood out in college, not because she towered over most of us, all five-feet-and-eleven inches of her, but because of her inherently chill demeanor and an electric laugh that fills every room she steps into.

If there was a style that embodied the quintessential Femme Next Door wedding, it would be a focus on minimalism against lush greens that Lynda Trieu envisioned and brought to life with her now husband Michael Pham.

DISCOVERIES

Defining Moments

A life well-lived is found in the balance. But how do we do that? There’s no template or recipe to follow, and we certainly don’t profess to be soliciting one here. We too are striving for balance. So, instead, consider us forward observers in pursuit of the good life.

Living Is Political

Whether it’s a conscious knowing or not, nearly every choice and move you make every single day is political. In everything you do, the government is involved. If this sounds terrifying to you, let it be even more reason to get involved.
