cocktails, couches, cupcakes & cashmere

if you are a reader/follower/fan of emily schuman's cupcakes & cashmere (honestly, has anyone not seen her blog?  she's kinda a celeb in the blogger-sphere), you probably saw that she was co-hosting the grand opening party for the new west elm store in LA on beverly blvd.  since i am currently obsessed with practically everything from west elm, i had to go!    

love this living wall!  i took a peek - the plants are actually planted in little pot like things attached to the wall!

"snowflake" decorations

moscow mule

glass lamps with gorgeous shades

holiday soap

owls are super popular in home decor right now.

yup.

sittin' on my future couch.

now i don't go to that many events because usually they fall on weeknights and i can't stand to sit in traffic that long but i had such a good time at west elm!  plus, i got to sit on my wishlist couch (soo comfy btw)!
