  • Dian McManus

    Dian McManus is a bubbly, frisky, and giggly Indonesian native who moved to Los Angeles in 1995. She spread her wings to the Big Apple in 2000 after graduating from California State University in Northridge, in Business Management, moved back to the city of angels and married a charming Irish man in 2007. Inspired by her mother’s love to the family, Dian believes that “we should never be too tired to love.” She believes in dressing up and putting some color on her face in whatever she does, wherever she goes, especially when she doesn’t feel too good or blue. It is the best remedy to her (even when she was in labor). She is a Facebook and an anything-shiny-and-made-by-Apple addict. Dian’s first love with performing arts and pretty things enlightened her when she took her very first ballet lesson when she was 8. Though she spent over a decade pursuing her career in private banking and investment management, Dian always felt that she was a bit too sprightly for the finance world. Her passion and dreams to be exposed to darling things with a touch of glamour in home décor, arts, and fashion came true when she became a full-time mom two years ago. She finally got the opportunity and time to learn more and to express more creativity. She loves to spend her day being a busy mommy to her mini-me two-year-old daughter Keira, while writing, posting pictures and doing research on glamorous home décor collections. She also indulges in attending and planning parties, such as, her all-time favorite, planning Keira’s birthday parties, and going on Hollywood night-outs and downtown LA pool parties with husband Sean.
