FALLING IN LOVE WITH NAPA

I haven't been to Napa in about 10 years, and quite frankly I can't imagine why I stayed away for so long. I had forgotten how beautiful and peaceful it was up there. It's like you've entered another world where everyone is more relaxed, albeit a bit more eccentric in some cases, with laughter filling the air around you...it was a great place to visit.

We had a hotel opening on November 10th for Hotel Luca – who will be opening their doors in the 24th of this month and it was simply a great party. The hotel itself is gorgeous and looks as if you just traveled from the California wine country straight into Tuscany. As for the party, an Italian trio played softly in the background, wine flowed from bottles into everyone’s eager wine glasses, the most delicious appetizers from Piero were passed around by a charming wait staff and the twinkling lights strung up over the courtyard completed the feel of the night. The owners of the hotel could be heard laughing and mingling with the guests as they arrived, though most of them men had to be torn from the front courtyard where 2 black Ferrari’s were parked to help with the décor of the night. All in all, it was a successful night and once again proved to me that my boss is absolutely amazing and can pull off anything.

On other notes – I’m thinking about redoing my room. It’s a bit bright right now which was perfect for summer but now that fall is among us I’m just not feeling it anymore. I think something darker; a bit cozier perhaps is in order for this season. Of course now I need to decide what I want to do – which is easier said that done. I have a horrible time making up my mind when it comes to decorating because there’s just so many things’ I want to do! Hopefully I can find some inspiration to help guide my efforts through this.

Till the next time, which will be sooner than the last I hope <3
