heading home today from a week in LA – i worked with weddingwire.com and target on special project involving two amazing makeovers, plus i got my dose of laid-back LA vibes, plenty of sun, so much design inspiration and of course, fantastic food.
 |
| a salty dog made the view even better during lunch in malibu |
 |
| the sun was always just right poolside at the avalon hotel, one of my favorite places to post up for a week when i’m working |
 |
| inspiration everywhere in LA, especially at mecox |
 |
| getting mic’d up with my target crew |
 |
| behind the scenes filming a room refresh in the hollywood hills |
 |
| the lovely nicholette mason enjoying her new rooftop |
 |
| the perfectly designed malibu pier farm cafe |
 |
| a real wearstler moment in the lobby of the avalon – she designed the hotel, and it doesn’t disappoint with her signature drama deco touches |
 |
| a sneak peek of the vibe from the rooftop makeover |
 |
| filming at sunset |
 |
| waking up in hollywood (regency). the beds at the avalon are magic – the best linens and a mattress i admit, i inquired about buying. |
 |
| a sultry corner at harbinger |
 |
| cool blues, glammy golds and luxe neutrals make this table inviting |
 |
| floors, i had a thing with them |
 |
| fabrics at peter dunham |
 |
| brunch bloody mary bar (too bad i don’t like them!) |
 |
| one pleased pup after his office makeover |
 |
| shakin things up at the hotel bar – the perfect spot to meet up with friends to grab a cocktail by the pool before heading to dinner. |
 |
| digging the plaid banquettes in viviane, the hotel restaurant, and my new kicks. breakfast downstairs is a must. the restaurant overlooks the pool and the morning light streams in like nothing else. |
 |
| my must-haves for long flights and lots of travel: oribe texturizing spray, bobbi brown grass and green algae mask, bumble and bumble surf spray and elta moisturizer |
 |
| catching the happy clients after the big reveal of their office re-do |
 |
| great views all around at the malibu pier farm cafe |
 |
| cocktail snacks and big ice cube – i found my happy place every evening at the hotel |
 |
| constantly getting my hair de-crazied |
 |
| snapshots of the pretty table |
 |
| design shopping on la cienega |
 |
| again, the LA light is just right – here on the wall rurals designs by wearstler by the avalon pool. |
 |
| eye candy everywhere at hollywood at home |
 |
| living for these fabric upholstered walls |
 |
| all of it – just right, in peter dunham’s store |
 |
| never knowing what to do with my hands during filming |
 |
| i couldn’t fit it all in my carry-on, but i would’ve |
 |
| a chic moment at joe lucas’ harbinger |
