It has been quite a few eventful days this past week with WestWeek taking place, two days and three nights of back to back showroom events and parties! Here's a recap of my WestWeek highlights!
Starting with a kick off party at interior designer Michael Smith's showroom, Jasper, hosted by Margaret Russell and Architectural Digest magazine.
One of my first stops was to drop by the Thomas Lavin showroom to check out the new lighting pieces designed by Kevin Kolanowski of Fuse Lighting. Kevin was at the showroom to give a tour of his new selections - loved this wall sconce!
Next stop, was the Duralee Fabrics showroom for the John Robshaw textiles preview and an event with HipSwap co-hosted with Turquoise. I met up with Alissa from The Goods Design and Christian of Maison21 (standing in front of the new John Robshaw fabrics).

In between events, Christian and I browsed a few of the design showrooms, stopping in at the David Sutherland showroom. While he was checking out the Perennials outdoor fabrics, I was checking out some of the dramatic lighting like this chandelier.
Following the California Home + Design "Rise of the Rock Star Designer" keynote, the Andrew Martin showroom held a reception party. Pictured here is Typhanie of Shoebox Decor, Christian of Maison21, & Matt Locke of Design Star.

After the Andrew Martin cocktail party, we decided to leave the PDC and "hit the street" where we walked down Melrose Avenue to the Dennis & Leen open house.
While the interiors of the Dennis & Leen showroom are gorgeous, I took respite in the courtyard with the koi pond.
Next we headed back up Melrose Avenue to stop by the Rose Tarlow Melrose House cocktail party.
Turns out, there was a little surprise at the Rose Tarlow showroom - fashion designer James Galanos (also known as Nancy Reagan's dress designer) happen to be there. Here he is pictured with Christian.
Our last stop of the first day of WestWeek events was the House Beautiful party hosted by interior designer Peter Dunham of Hollywood at Home.
With more events and showroom open houses taking place on day two of WestWeek, I held out for the grand finale "rock star of parties" - the coveted Restoration Hardware party, complete with greige "red" carpet arrivals and guest list only invites.
The event was also to benefit LACMA (The Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and celebs came out to lend their support. Pictured here is actress Elizabeth Banks with model/actress Milla Jovovich.
Also in attendance, Restoration Hardware CEO Gary Friedman.

My favorite: the graffiti wall in the courtyard at Restoration Hardware.
