The Biltmore Grand Lobby
We celebrated our anniversary with a weekend in downtown LA. So we decided to stay at The Biltmore because of it's historic and old hollywood feel. Walking around admiring the building, I couldn't help thinking about all the memories that were made here. Yes, the ornate ceiling was truly beautiful but it was the little things that caught my eye and made me wonder. Like the knobs on our closet, how many people have turned it? How did their clothes look? Were they hanging on satin hangers? That upholstered brocade chair with an indentation? To me, it was fascinating sitting in it knowing I was sharing a moment with countless others. Running my fingers through the dark wood walls, I thought, how many conversations have they heard? Were they privy to JFK's secret strategies and Oscar gossip? Have they witnessed clandestine encounters and love affairs that last a lifetime?...Oh, if only the walls could talk...
The Rendezvous Court of The Biltmore Hotel...perfect name, I think.
I love the art deco indoor pool!
A vintage find
I'm so happy, I'm kickin' up my heels!
The dress originally came with a velvet sash but decided to change it up a bit to avoid looking too costumey. Tried a few options but the vintage leather belt just felt right.

Adore the shoes and belt Mia! They fit perfectly with the classic Hollywood vibe!
ReplyDeleteIt's been rainy...How about chic rainy day look?
I love the cosmetics bag used as a clutch! I have a gold sequined Sephora bag that I've used for nights out, too, but I always feel secretly clandestine about it... like it's not good enough if it's also perfect for my gloss and mascara... Add a credit card and ID, though, and it's sort of the ideal clutch!! Gorgeous pictures!
