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 |
