Last night I was watching the Sex and the City 2 movie with a friend, Carrie + Samantha went shopping and I thought it was so funny when Carrie said "I'm cheating on fashion with furniture". Right then I felt that statement should be my lifelong motto of life. My lifelong dream is to have a huge warehouse closet full of my favorite furnishings. A chic studio/showroom.

+ Design studio. My girl Julia Buckingham, a fab blogger/designer in Chicago, did just that. In the October issue of Lonny, her chic studio/showroom was featured + I am super excited I got to catch a glimpse. How fab is the space? I think its high time I make a little trip to Chicago.

She coined her style with the cool name, Modernique. Modern/Unique. That's exactly why this shop is so good. I always love a mix thats well done. I am also really digging the purple art.

I couldn't be more fortunate that when I travel for work I get to experience the most wonderful accommodations...

(the plush purple banquettes are intoxicating)

During my travels this week to Las Vegas Design Market, I was put up at the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Nothing makes me happier than a gorgeously decorated hotel. Upon walking into the Cosmopolitan, I was absolutely blown away.

The lobby was outfitted with the most gorgeous column screens with displays of kaleidoscope botanicals and fashion shoots, which made for such a dramatic entrance.

I spent most of my time having lovely conversations/meetings at the chandelier bar, which I loved, because it was so glamorous and just dripping with diamonds and sparkle.

...my friends and I enjoyed cosmopolitans, at the cosmopolitan hotel, very fitting.

My room...was incredible, I only wish I could have stayed longer. It was bigger than my apartment in Manhattan. It came complete with kitchen, separate bath and shower, a living room, and the most lovely terrace with a killer view.

My favorite parts were the incredible bed which I could have slept in for hours on end and the closet with one of my favorite fornasetti wallpapers.
