Visuals from 'Surprise!'

As mentioned in the first chapter of Hot Commodity, Rosalie's family is what we call "old money." The wealth has been around for generations. When I was researching areas of CT where a family of this status might have a weekend home, Greenwich seemed like the natural choice. It's a rather affluent town, it's beautiful, and it's not far from the Big Apple. I came across photos of some homes in the area, and this is what I envision the Smith's Greenwich estate looking like:

Edward's book release party took place at a trendy bar in the W hotel in Manhattan. Here's what the real-life Living Room bar looks like:

Bella made the big announcement about Edward's upcoming book signing tour at the end of the chapter. As was mentioned, there will be a total of six cities visited on the tour itself, with the first one being Chicago. Below are photos of two more of the cities. I've provided these as a little teaser/sneak peek for everyone. I won't tell you which cities they are, you'll have to do a bit of guessing, but I'm confident everyone can figure it out... :)

I'm still working on some fashion posts for both Mike & Laurent on Polyvore. I'll post a little heads up here and on Facebook when they're ready!


Until next time...
