Highlights of Las Vegas market...

I'm finally back from the whirlwind that is interior design market and I saw the most beautiful + inspiring displays which really inspired the creative in me...

White + gold seems to be the most lovely color combination of the summer...at least Global Views seems to think so.

...this vignette by Tara Shaw and her vintage vibe. I also love a wall mix of black curiosities with natural elements...

Black, white and a hint of gold always wins...especially when on a focal wall...

I wanted to take this gold snake trinket box from Waylande Gregory home with me.

...malachite walls, oh my. I loved the Four Hands showroom, the displays were amazing, as per usual.

Oh, and this rug I spotted at Surya. Yes. It was gorgeous!

traveling for work...Cosmopolitan Las Vegas

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.
