NY Dream: What it’s Like Living in the Plaza Hotel

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Suzy Q

Hotel living is sure a luxury throughout New York; just ask Nicole Hanley Mellon who has recently taken up residence at the famous Plaza Hotel. Nicole with her husband Mathew Mellon moved into their new space just as she was six months pregnant with her first child. The couple didn’t have much time for construction so they took some big ‘no, no’ short cuts: like painting over wallpaper, installing carpet flooring throughout, and even pulling leftover furniture from her parent’s basement! Who knew breaking all the rules could look so good! One thing I share in common with Nicole is her love for unique art. I can’t get over that gorgeous cheetah art she has hung up over her sofa – it’s impeccable!

Suzy’s Interview and Feature in Bella Magazine

Posted on March 8, 2013 by Suzy Q

I was recently given the unique opportunity to be featured in the gorgeous start up mag, Bella Magazine. If you haven’t seen the last issue of Bella Magazine, you can catch it on Issuu. I did a quick interview a long with some photos, and they even did a “style stalker” page so readers can learn how to get my look – how sweet! The photos are very similar to when I was featured in Abode magazine, and I believe this is the last home feature I will be doing in a while – so enjoy! Now it’s time to switch up my decor and find a whole new look, stay tuned!

Celebrity Home: Diane Von Furstenberg’s Manhattan Penthouse

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Suzy Q

This New York penthouse is a far cry from Elton John’s Los Angeles home I featured the other day. A little more funky and laid back, Diane’s interiors feel so intensely alive and super comfortable that makes you want to sink in. Books and photographs cover ever space of the penthouse, and some walls are covered in inspiring words such as JOY, WISDOM, and TRANSFORMATION.

She loves using lips and hearts as a theme but disapproves collecting since people can become “prisoners of their possessions”. Lets take a tour of this fashionista’s little hideout away from bright lights, and the catwalk.
