Getaway to Miami: the Raleigh Hotel

The Decorista January 24, 2014

In Austin last night there was a snow storm, its freezing & there is a layer of white ice all on the streets. This is so not my scene. I left NYC for the winter because I love the heat, I love a tropical vibe, every day of my life. Today, I'm all about booking a get away trip to the nearest tropical location & one of my best friends lives in Miami and has been dying for me to come visit. Hence, the Raleigh Hotel, one of the chicest hotels in my opinion. It's not only gorgeous & tropical but there is something nostalgic about it, the decor is a throw back to the Art Deco era. I love the pastel colors in the interiors in addition to the black and white contrast throughout.

 If you like the whole vibe as much as I do, you can add a few pieces to your home and totally get the feeling. 

You can put this black and white umbrella on your patio for a dose of fabulousness.

Then don a fab  Alice & Olivia Romper, it will get you in that poolside vibe & throw on these E & J sunnies, too.

A palm leaf headboard will put a South Beach vibe into any room, perfect for a guest room.

Why not add a few of these cute Hennie chairs to your outdoor space & a  blush pink garden stool to top off the look.

IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET AWAY TO MIA, HERE ARE A FEW MIAMI TRAVEL ESSENTIALS I LIKE:

Modernique, the boutique

The Decorista November 4, 2013

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.
