Style-icious Sunday: Summertime travel essentails

My bags are packed and today I am off to Las Vegas Market. I'm beyond excited to reunite with my favorite people in our lovely design community. There is gonna be some serious fun happening. As I was packing things, I realized how much I love gold and nudes. They are my staples for my summer wardrobe. Michael Kors makes the best accessories to travel with.

Oh so European and dreamy.

the decorista dreams...The Gatsby House hotel in Ireland

Ever since my first visit to Miami, and I saw the gorgeous dramatic design of the hotels, I knew that I wanted to be a hotel designer. Interior design has always been my absolute passion and having the freedom to style an outrageous hotel would be my ultimate bliss. 

The Gatsby House in Ireland is the perfect example of hotel design done right.

Extravagant and luxurious, the Swell group does not disappoint my visual cravings.

In this particular hotel they created an old hollywood glamour look with each room named after a stylish movie star. Wouldn't you like to stay at this hotel on your visit and sip tea by the fire?

Enjoy the goodness.

viva la mexico

I have been dying for a Mexican vacation. Dying!

I find life in Mexico fascinating. 

I also find it particularly blissful to have a glimpse into the lives of people who live in very 'un-traditional' places, especially by the sea.

I want to introduce to you the home of this gorgeous couple...

Nico + Franchesca.

(aren't they supermodel-ish?)

for more photos of their home visit the selby.
