Watching sun come up over Santa Monica Boulevard

I'm just back from a week in LA and I was so inspired by its abundance of quirky and colourful design. It was the furthest you could get from the hum ho of beige and Antique White with big pops of colour, statement furniture and quirky plays on size and scale. Here are a few pics of the Chamberlain in West Hollywood where we stayed and it's sister property the Viceroy Hotel - both designed by Kelly Wearstler (love her!!). We also had an amazing Sunday brunch at Cecconi's also in West Hollywood, they all epitomise LA style for me.

Images from Viceroy, Chamberlain West Hollywood and Cecconi's.

Denim on Denim

Usually a sin, on Jenna - hawt!!!!! She can do no wrong in my eyes. I may even be tempted to try this fashion no-no myself based on this funky look. Topped off with a splash of orange red lippy and hot pair of heels - bring on spring weather (she says whilst a miserable thunderstorm threatens outside - the grass is always greener, huh?!).

Thinking colourful thoughts!

It's been a rough two weeks, and I need some cheering up :)
