Photo from Natalia Fedner Website

I've known Natalie for almost 20 years at this point Our paths crossed when we were both students at Parsons in Paris Her drive, enthusiasm, and determination were hard to miss at a small school. She was one of those people you just knew was going to do something big and different.

Fast forward to today and she has done just that! Based in Los Angeles, Natalia is most well known for inventing stretch metal. She has created avant-garde designs and jewelry for many celebrities, including Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Doja Cat, Kylee Jenner, Shakira, Nicki Minaj the list is endless

What is stretch metal you may be asking? Natalia's stretch metal is a 100% metal textile that has 6 way stretch It instantaneously molds to the body and adopts to the head of the wearer within 15 seconds Because of how special Natalia's stretch metal is and her design process, each piece can take days to complete. I dare you to put it down once you pick it up. The feeling is addicting!

I'm proud to showcase Natalia's line here at the boutique Her Patented Chain Skinny Scarf has just arrived and sold out twice! Get yours while you can!

Doja Cat

Jennifer Lopez

Patented Chain Skinny Scarf

The Patented Chain Skinny Scarf is our first introduction to Natalia Fedner in our store, and it's AMAZING! It can be worn as a necklace and a belt, making it flexible for any outfit you might have.

Made with Natalia's patented chain maille technique, this scarf can stretch (it's honestly like magic)!

Come get yours today while you can!

Thank you so much to everyone who came to the event or watched the event on Instagram Live! This is something that's been in the works for a while and I'm SO SO happy that you enjoyed it (in my mind everybody loved it).

I can't remember the exact date I met Emily. It must have been at one of our spouses ' mutual friends' weddings or class reunions. Say that 5 times fast...

When I heard that Emily had written a novel, I knew we would carry it in the store, and I was so thrilled that she joined us for our first ever "Inside the Design Studio (LIVE!)" event!

Awkward would be one way to describe how I would feel if I hated or even intensely disliked Emily's debut novel, but My Thirty-First Year (And Other Calamities) is a striking, strong, and confident novel full of wit and humor that strikes deeply at what it means to be human, especially in the 21st century. While I'm probably not the core demographic she intended for this book, I devoured it.

CraftPita

It's only fitting that the first place that we recommend is our next-door neighbor, Craft Pita! Craft Pita is a staff favorite here at David Peck, and is an easy go-to on those especially busy days when we ' re swamped with non-stop appointments

If you love Mediterranean food, I cannot recommend Craft Pita enough. Not only is their food delicious, but their food is super healthy. The reason for this is that they source all goods from local farmers, ranchers, bakers, and purveyors who make sure that their proteins have been raised naturally with no hormones You can read more about where they get their ingredients here on their website.

We've partnered with Craft Pita so that if you shop with us in the month of March in person, you'll have a chance to win a $100 gift card to Craft Pita! All you have to do is come to our store and purchase something, and you'll be put in a raffle for a chance to win a $10 gift card! The winner will be notified at the end of March!

Recommendations

Chicken Rice Bowl - Very filling and does not feel heavy. Comes with your choice of Lebanese rice, rice pilaf, or quinoa and is partnered with pickled turnips and your side of protein! Everything mixes together perfectly and you feel energized after eating it Definitely a staff favorite!

Lebanese Tacos - A fusion of traditional Lebanese cuisine and Mexican street food, resulting in a delicious and unique culinary experience that your taste buds will love you for! The fries inside the taco add a really nice touch by being fried to perfection with the perfect amount of crispiness on the outside, and I especially love the garlic aioli sauce that is used and spread in the taco!

WHATTO WATCH

Matilda The Musical

We've meant to watch this for the longest time and finally got around to it! I loved the original Matilda (the book, I was the wrong age for the original movie) and my kids loved listening to the audiobook this last year

For those of you who have never read the book or watched the original movie, Matilda is a gifted and intelligent girl who loves to read. She has to deal with her neglectful parents and the cruel headmistress of her school, Miss Trunchbull. With the help of her kind teacher, Miss Honey, Matilda discovers her extraordinary powers and uses them to change her life positively.

There are a few minor changes from both the book and the original movie, but nothing too major to where the overall plot is changed

If you have time or need something to watch with the family, Matilda the Musical is a great watch! You might even be tempted to attempt the choreography that has been popping up all over TikTok!

Plugging it into the Peck meter, Matilda the Musical gets a...

it!
