reporting live from vegas

Uncategorized / July 28, 2012

friends, i am coming to you poolside at the aria hotel in vegas.  i arrived yesterday, and felt fairly overwhelmed worrying i had been redirected to disneyland, and then concerned that vegas appears to be in the middle of the desert.  i overcame these obstacles, and am settling in just fine. 

i’m here to scope out the gift market, and to speak on a panel monday about trends, tastemakers, and gaggaggag the retail christmas season.

i’m traveling solo, which can be an odd thing, unless you embrace it by taking 3 baths a day in your huge tub, trying to look mysterious while you dine alone, and sleeping sideways in a king bed.  the trick to traveling alone is to always look contemplative.  how can she be lonely when she looks so … thoughtful?  see.

the pool scene is real.  meaning, it’s happening.  something is happening here.  there are girls in all sort of states of undress, but they pile on the accessories.  tiny tiny bathing suits with huge platform wedges, hats, sparkly bits, there’s some sort of collar thing over there, there’s a feathered scarf? – it’s all a bit… much.  everyone seems to think they are some kardashian cousin.  there’s no shame.  i sit shaded and kaftaned while prancer and her friends over there are (fat)rolling in the deep.  i will refrain from further judgement and enjoy my $20 drink that is delicious and full of berries and basil.

i will, however, judge the trends for the coming fall and christmas season, and report back.  wish me luck.

"Date 1944. Sorority sisters at the University of Texas." by sdasfvrce in OldSchoolCool
On East Lake Shore Drive, this co-op project combined 2 separate units last updated in the '60s into 1 lavish apartment with a gut-remodel, relocating the kitchen to the front of the apartment overlooking the lake.  Interior by Summer Thornton Designter bath, Thornton juxtaposed diagonal swaths of Calacatta Monet marble with Breccia stone to distract from the room’s asymmetrical layout while providing a unique take on tradition, highlighted by the Waterworks fixtures and a freestanding tub by Ann Sacks. The oak paneling was detailed with black molding, a reference to the hand-painted ceiling in the living room.
