Everything Evelyne’s Favorite February Finds
By Evelyne Marks
As a beauty and lifestyle enthusiast, I love sharing the things that inspire me, elevate my everyday life, and bring joy to my family and home. This month, I’m spotlighting three absolute favorites that I know you’ll love as much as I do!
1. Luxe Living with 7th Avenue
My family room just got a major upgrade, and I couldn’t be happier! I recently brought home a modular sofa from 7th Avenue, and it has completely transformed the space. This isn’t just a couch—it’s a masterpiece of modern design and functionality. Founded in 2022, 7th Avenue specializes in sustainably sourced, kid- and pet-friendly modular furniture that looks and feels luxurious while being completely practical. Some of its standout features include:
Water-repellent, stain-resistant fabrics for stress-free living.
OEKO-TEX-certified, PFAS-free materials, ensuring your home stays free of harmful chemicals.
Removable, machine-washable covers that make cleaning a breeze (hello, busy households!).
Modular configurations that adapt to your space and lifestyle, growing with you over time.
What truly sets 7th Avenue apart is their personalized shopping experience. You can book a private showroom appointment (or a virtual consultation if you’re remote) with a dedicated Design Consultant to build your dream setup. And if you’re unsure, they offer a 10-day return window and a 30-day fabric swap—completely risk-free! My sofa has become the heart of our home. Whether we’re lounging, hosting, or just hanging out as a family, it’s the perfect mix of style, comfort, and durability. Check them out at Lido Village—you won’t regret it!
2. Sun & Style with Draya by Andrea Bernholtz
When I packed for my recent trip to Costa Rica, one brand dominated my suitcase: Draya. This line, created by my dear friend Andrea Bernholtz, is everything I love about effortless, sustainable fashion. Draya’s pieces are versatile, flattering and ideal for travel. I’ll never forget how confident and comfortable I felt strolling along the beaches of Costa Rica in her designs. And the best part? Andrea, who’s from Orange County, pours her passion for sustainability and style into every piece. If you’re looking for chic, eco-conscious fashion, Draya should be your go-to.
3. A Flavorful Escape at Ho Sum Bistro
No list of favorites would be complete without a foodie highlight, and this month it’s Ho Sum Bistro on Balboa Peninsula. This spot has the BEST Chinese chicken salad you’ll ever taste—trust me, it’s life-changing. Ho Sum Bistro has been my go-to for years. The flavors are vibrant, the atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s the perfect place for a casual lunch or dinner with friends and family. If you’re in Newport Beach, make it a priority to stop by—you’ll thank me later!
This month’s favorites truly bring together everything I value: quality, beauty, and a touch of indulgence. Whether it’s updating your space, elevating your wardrobe, or savoring delicious flavors, I hope these picks inspire you to explore something new.
Until next time,
