Celebrate the Holidays at City Centre!

Last week I was invited to a Holiday Kickoff Event at City Centre. I LOVE City Centre! It has so many places to shop and eat without having to endure the horrid congestion of the mall.  During the kickoff we stopped Paper Source, Z Gallerie, and Hotel Sorella for a super cool exclusive experience at each store.

Paper Source 

First stop was the Paper Source! I had so much fun here. We made several paper crafts: a cute little gift tag, a mini Christmas tree, and cute greeting card. I had my first embossing experience with the gift tag…that was literally the coolest thing ever. I just want to emboss every  single thing that I can. The mini tree was a cute craft too…my tree had several difficulties but in the end it turned out cute.

Holidays-at-Paper-SourceThis was my first time at Paper Source and I love it!! They have everything paper you can think of, cute knick knacks, wrapping paper, EVERYTHING. And I’m recently obsessed with planners, so yes, I’ve found my new place for stickers and washi tapes.

Z Gallerie

I love home goods! Like I want to buy a whole house just so I can decorate it. One of the designer on staff taught us the proper method for decorating Christmas trees! It’s all about the z method. Make sure you place ornaments on the tree is a z formation. Each side of the tree has it’s own z. Very informative. Also Z Gallerie was such a good background for me to cute “candid” photos so follow me on Instagram to see them in the next week!

Hotel Sorella

Can I say how much I love this hotel? Like love! It’s SOOOOOOOO cute. Like it’s the perfect place for a staycation. Hotel Sorella launched their new scent line in a private party in one of the penthouses. It was everything. Full washer and dryer, two bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms, balcony, full kitchen, YAS! Are you following me on Snapchat? You need to be. I showed the sneak peek of the room on there! (taylorbrione)

The food was delicious. I had seconds and thirds. I also couldn’t resist the opportunity  to take a cute photo on the 12 floor of the penthouse. I’m also excited that I’ll be staying at the Hotel Sorella soon so I can give you the full tour of how awesome the hotel is. This was one of my favorite events in a long time! Thanks Studio Communications for the invite!
