Yesterday, we were stunned to hear of the lovely Ivanka Trump's quick trip to regular-people-land (which involved staying at the Quality Inn and munching on Little Caesar's), but today we've learned that girlfriend is back to doing what she does best: hawking her father's crap.
WWD has the scoop:
Ivanka Trump, who visited the Windy City recently to show her fall jewelry collection at J.Mendel's Michigan Avenue boutique, didn't miss the opportunity to promote (albeit graciously) the new Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago. The statuesque blonde, who wore her own diamond tassel earrings, mentioned that while in Chicago she stayed at the hotel, received several spa treatments that day and dined for both lunch and dinner at the hotel's restaurant Sixteen, where she enjoys the admittedly rich porcini ravioli.
How sweet of her to plug her dad's businesses! And she was rewarded nicely for it, too: Ivanka's getting a bit of retail space in the hotel to open up a boutique for her jewelry line.

While money Mommy and Daddy enjoy some alone time in the cabanas at the Mandalay Bay, the teenyboppers can have their own private fun with the family charge card at the Shops at Mandalay Place.
Next Friday the 13th (ooh ominous!), the LA-based "specialty store chain for trendsetting young adults" Metropark will join Mandalay's other teen-preen shops like Urban Outfitters and Fornarina.

Hotels are slowly moving beyond the bar, nightclub and restaurant trend to add some hip retail spaces in their properties. Of course, this is nothing new as some hotels have been doing this already for a long time. But what is news is the report of a Louis Vuitton store opening inside the JW Marriott Bucharest Hotel.
The store will open in June and offer customers the standard LV leather goods as well as the opportunity to design their own travel trunk based on their "requirements and taste." Hmmm...Marriott we smell a package!
As for why LV would open in a Marriott, international senior VP for LV said :
"We looked on Calea Victoriei and on other boulevards in Bucharest but chose the Marriott because it is a visually safe and controlled environment, where you know who your neighbours are and do not risk having a sex shop open next door.
Word. Who else is selling what and where? Here's a short list:
· The Beverly Wilshire Hotel: The Pretty Woman hotel has added the fine jewelry brand Avakian to its retail presence. Oh if only Julia and Richard were there now. [WWD]
· The Plaza: The Plaza will get mobile phone store Vertu. [WWD]
· Waldorf-Astoria Collection Sarasota: The upcoming hotel just announced it will have a Guerlain spa and along with that a chance to purchase all the Guerlain goodies you are suckered into believing your skin will need.
· The Standard Hotel NYC: Ok, so the tentatively planned Barneys New York in the Meat Packing District isn't exactly located inside the new Standard, but it will be one block away. [Racked]
