Hello,
I got back last week from a wonderful trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles. This summer I moved out of Los Angeles so it was a treat to go back to my former home town! I met my good friend Holly Becker on her book tour for "Decorate" in San Francisco and then we traveled down to Los Angeles. Holly was doing book signings and mini lectures at Anthropologie stores in both cities. I had the pleasure and honor of being featured in Holly's very successful decorating book. Seeing her in action on her tour was icing on the cake. Thank you Holly for including me!!! The book is an absolute must have for anyone interested in interior design.
One of the highlights of my trip with Holly was a wonderful visit with Rachel Ashwell at her home in Los Angeles. As you can see by my photographs above I am quite captivated by her creative vision. I have always been a fan of Rachel's style so it was really special for me to meet her. She is an inspiring woman who I look forward to seeing again. It is always amazing to meet someone who has such clarity in their creative expression. Rachel Ashwell's style is her style. I know it the moment I see it. Always feminine, very comfortable, just enough vintage, soft textures, and well, incredibly beautiful. You can follow Rachel on her blog and of course she is fun to follow on twitter.
See you back here soon,
xoleslie
