City Chic

Hotel find number 2 from my Minneapolis weekend (almost a month ago now!). Graves 601 is refined, stylish, fashionable, modern and simply beautiful. Everything about it screams luxury and you can't walk a step without seeing something eye-catching. I went to the hotel's restaurant, Cosmos, for brunch with some family members in the area who took us there because they new I would love it; they were right. I couldn't stop staring at everything to see how it was put together or designed. You'll often find me trying to examine the ceiling or touching different materials...just habit! Check out the pictures above, courtesy of the Graves website, I was too busy enjoying my breakfast to be a photographer.

I'm at the W, you can meet me in the lobby

This is one of my top design finds from Minneapolis from the wedding weekend. Someday I would love to design a space like this. ALoft is a trendy new hotel chain from the famous W hotels and I loved every second I got to hang out in the lobby and drink swanky wine from the w xyz bar. From the multicolored rainbow designs to the sleek and bright modern furniture (check out my candid pics above), I felt like some Minneapolis socialite. Design was by ESG Architects with a "loft inspired" vision for the hotel. I wonder if they are hiring...
