In 2021, I decided to expand our world of ✨Luxury Interior Design✨ into 🌍Luxury Travel. That’s when Shayla Copas Interiors transformed into Shayla Copas Lifestyle 💎. Offering BOTH Interior Design + Travel has been the most fulfilling journey—designing stunning homes 🏡 while also curating life-changing experiences ✈️🍷🌺.
We just returned from Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas 🎰 and I’m beyond grateful 🙏 for a week full of education, networking, amazing food 🍽️, and friendship 🤝.
I’ll be honest…after recovering from pneumonia a few weeks ago🤒, I was worried I couldn’t keep up—but I did it! 💪 And the best news…Scott is officially a Virtuoso Cruise Host 🚢! He’s over the moon 🌙 since he loves both cruising and hosting.
✨ A question I get a lot: “Are you still designing with all the travel…and the cats 🐾?” The answer is YES. I’m embracing all my passions—design, travel, and cats—because with the right team 💼 + support ❤️ anything is possible.
Some highlights from the week:
🌟 A huge thanks to Jose with Silversea for hosting me at his Gala table—what an unforgettable evening 💃.
🌟 Thank you Gifted Travel Network for including Scott at your table—it meant so much!
🌟 The Virtuoso Gala truly is the ✨Academy Awards of the travel industry✨—stunning décor, incredible entertainment and the best company.
🌟 Hearing Will Guidara, author of Unreasonable Hospitality and former co-owner of Eleven Madison Park ⭐, was nothing short of inspiring.
Between one-on-one meetings, cocktail parties 🍸, lunches, dinners, and more—we had over 100 events in just a few days! 🏃♀️💨 A marathon, but worth every second to connect with global partners who help us craft unforgettable journeys for our clients.
Finally, a big thank you to Megan Heard for keeping our kitties 🐱 cozy while we were away, and to Scott for making sure they were safe with a generator ⚡ when the power went out. Knowing our fur babies were cared for gave me such peace of mind ❤️.
Here’s to more design, more travel, more adventures…and always more love for the things (and cats) that make life beautiful ✨🐾✈️💎
