DOWNTOWN GRAND LAS VEGAS HOTEL

This photo is from the website (because I was too busy and forgot to take one myself!)

So the Downtown Grand Hotel located on 3rd street in Las Vegas which is a block away from the colorful FREMONT STREET EXPERIENCE, just opened about a month ago!!! My dad had complimentary rooms so we decided to check it out.  Since they love bloggers, I got us a room upgrade. THANK YOU!! hehe 
 MY SUPER CUTE ROOM!!!!!!!
SUPER SPACIOUS!!!
 I loved the carpet so much! So POP!

 We were on the 26th floor so we had a nice view.

 There was a vanity room which was separate from the toilet and shower! YAY!

The shower room..It was actually really spacious..I think they could have added something in here, like a nice stool or something for us to put our towel or clothes on..

behind me, 
there was just a huge space and a toilet..so the only option was to hang the clothes behind the door on the hooks or put them on the toilet.. 

It was amazing how the water didn't splash out when I showered .. tho I would have been SO HAPPY if there was a tub and more water pressure..

 goodies-- smelled SO good!


There was so much space for zooey to run around!!! AND-- they provided us with a baby crib!
To the right was a nice counter space with a sink and cabinets under (sorry not pictured)

Overall , it was a nice boutique-y hotel and I wouldn't mind staying here again!  The staff were super nice and I had fun gambling in the casino downstairs. hehe

I would totally recommend staying here!

GRAF & LANTZ - FUN WITH FELT

FELT !!! 




 felt keychains! so cute!













 love how this fall flat down when unzipped!






Meet Daniel. He's awesome.


I visited the design studio of Graf & Lantz in Silverlake the other day and listened to the story of how this brand was born.  It's always impressive to hear the back story of brands and what I love about Graf & Lantz is not only the personalities behind the brand, but the amazing craftsmanship of how well the design and stitching of the 'felt' and leather of these bags hold together.  Who would have thought 'felt' could be this strong!  I also learned that the material that is left over from making the bags are used to make cute keychains, coasters and other cute accessories which would make really good stocking stuffers for Christmas!!! What a smart way to not waste great felt!!! They sell at the APPLE STORE, Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York and a few stores in Japan too (ISETAN & UNITED ARROWS!).

先日、GRAF & LANTZっていうBAGとACCESSORIESのブランドのデザインスタジオにいってきました。。。このブランドはデザイナーが二人いて、二人からどうやってこのブランドが生まれたのかを聞いて、すごく面白かった!二人のデザイナーのpersonalityが好きなのと、このバッグのqualityがすごくいい!FELTとleather
の組み合わせがとても上手で、縫製もすごくて、こんなに丈夫な
FELTがあるって知らなかったです!衝撃をうけました!
日本では伊勢丹やUNITED ARROWS、バーニーズ ニューヨーク等で取り扱いがあるので、
ぜひチェックしてみてください!
ちなみにBAGに使うフェルトの生地のどうしても余ってしまう生地を使っての、コースターや、キーホルダーもとってもCUTEなので、ぜひこれからのクリスマスプレゼントに
オススメだよ!
