It’s almost here…With LEGENDS (May 9-11) fast approaching…we wanted to introduce you to our Ambassadors (some returning and some new) to hear what they’re looking forward to this year, some of their favorite LCDQ spots, and get a sneak peek into their new projects.

PALOMA CONTRERAS

PALOMA CONTRERAS, LA DOLCE VITA


The Houston-based interior decorator and design blogger is looking forward to lots of sweet inspiration via the iconic LEGENDS windows as well as catching up with friends and colleagues from around the country. “There’s a buzz and energy unlike anything I’ve experienced,” she says. “The incredible resources paired with fabulous L.A. weather and inspiring agenda make it the must-attend event.” 



With a bevy of projects from California to New York to Houston, she’ll be busy sourcing and gathering ideas. “The ambiance here is so energizing and inspiring,” says Paloma. “I’m sure I will feel recharged after the event and that energy will translate to all of my creative pursuits, including my book (coming in Fall 2018).”


Paloma’s favorite places to shop and sip around LCDQ include:

 

Violet Grey

“The best skincare products in the industry. The glamorous entrance with its red door, ivy-covered walls, and gilded chinoiserie wallcovering is to die for.”
8452 Melrose Place

The Apartment
by the Line

“Offers a beautiful, curated experience. The shop is meant to emulate a stylish apartment, with all of its wares for sale.”

The Ivy

“From the charming abundance of roses and cozy, English-inspired setting to the chocolate-chip cookies and people watching, it’s a must for lunch.”
