WeHo (aka West Hollywood)

I moved from one saturated housing market to another saturated housing market, oh yes, I did this on purpose.

As a femme of le monde my standards are higher than most; I want to live in West Hollywood, but the problem with this aspiration is that I am not the only one, and the places on the market are not up to my standards (at least none of the ones I have seen) and I really don't want to pay New York City prices (because this is just a whole other philosophical discussion). Basically once you get a place in West Hollywood, you don't want to move for two main reasons, the neighborhood is adorably accomodating and RENT CONTROL (need I say more).

Until I find a place of my own, I will keep to the basics and repeat the following words:
Safe Chic Spaces

The Perfect Gift: The September Edition of VOGUE

Georgie is definitely a man after my own heart...
I'm moving to LA and he decided to get me the new VOGUE, you know the September issue, the huge 700-pager that covers the latest and greatest styles for the next two seasons to help keep my nerves under control during my long flight back to the left coast.

I was tempted to flip through it, but then I told myself....RESTRAIN, IT WILL BE WORTH IT

Optimism

Just the Basics

Design over Location?

The cost of design...

In this case, it is more like the cost Real Estate and its three main principles:

Location
Location
Location

Basically any decent location in places like New York, Paris, London, Rome, Los Angeles and other metropolitan areas are just so coveted that it is really hard to find anything that is reasonable priced.

Is $3000 a month for a basic two-bedroom apartment with no living room in New York City obnoxious or what?

The worst part about it is the demand is high enough that developers see no reason why their supply should not exceed record prices. Nowadays, every price has to be over the top, even when the design is below par.
