It’s not called the “city of angels” for nothin’ people. For designers, the LA scene offers gorgeous settings, lovely laidback staff and some of the best furnishings in the US.

L.A. = Love Affair
I made a pit stop in LA for a couple of days on my way to Arizona for Thanksgiving. Sunshine, shopping and some of the best design sources in the US – it was heaven! Below are some highlights from my fabulous 48 hours in the city of angels. I stayed at the Chamberlain in West Hollywood.
