thats what you get for waking up in vegas :)

Hi everyone! I'm back and have lots of lovely outfit posts for you this week! Vegas was a blast and we ended up staying 2 days longer than we had originally planned for. It was kind of our last hoorah. While we were there, my hubby got his new assignment and new schedule for the next 2 months and.... its NOT good. He is only getting some Tuesdays and Wednesdays off through January, and is working from about 2 in the afternoon all through the night. This of course means no dinners together, no movie nights, no going to the dog park together, no weekend trips, no going out for a date, or with friends. nothing. Can you tell I'm not doing so well with this? If I haven't mentioned before, the hubby is a federal agent, and with the government you really don't have a say in much of anything. So as of now, NO Halloween, NO Thanksgiving, NO Christmas, and NO New Years together. We are going to have to celebrate on whatever days he has off. Such a bummer. But at least he has a job that he loves and we are lucky to be able to say that for the moment.

But on to the outfit! Love me some Vegas. Its the perfect place to wear whatever and it all works there! I stepped it up with glamorous ensembles all weekend and had a blast. This was my absolute favorite from the trip so I am posting it first...

The 22 of us on the trip all went to dinner at Paris that night at the beautiful Mon Ami Gabi restaurant. Seriously I loved this place, they did a fantastic job of giving it an authentic French feel. And of course I had one of my favorite dishes, some de-lish escargot. I remember eating this even as a little girl! My mama always made sure I tried all sorts of interesting food. I don't often get access to some great French cuisine, so I was beyond excited.

So in my mind this is the PERFECT Vegas outfit. Dress consisting entirely of sequins. the best part was that it changed color in each different light that we were in! I paired it with my new faux leather, over the knee boots and chandelier earrings. It was such a fun outfit to wear all around Vegas. Got lots of comments on it from everyone! Drunk people wandering the strip plus shiny dress equals all sorts of hilarious madness.


and of course my gorgeous mama and snapped a picture in front of the Venetian because it reminds us of Venice! Our favorite! My poor mama had all of her luggage lost on the way there, and had none of her planned outfits, I felt so bad. Thanks United.

tres joli!


and yes we did get the giant margaritas in the Eiffel tower glasses. such fun.

glad to be back and not have as much crazy work as last week! thanks for bearing with me. Can't wait to get home and have a look at every one's blog and see what you have been up to. and maybe see some Halloween activities and costume ideas!

xoxo

  1. Wow! You look so HOT! Gorgeous Vegas outfit!! That is such a great dress and it looks perfect with those boots.

    I am so sorry to hear about your hubby's work assignment- that is no fun at all and I would be having a hard time with it too. But, at least he gets two days; and it might be more fun to celebrate when he is off- it will be like your own special holidays. :)

    Oh your poor Mom!:( That is one of my biggest when I travel. Did she get it back? I hope so!

    So glad you had a blast and I am so glad you are back to blogging. I missed you!

  9. If ever there was a perfect dress for VEGAS, that sequin dress of yours is IT!
    Oh, reading this post makes me want to go back to Vegas sooooo badly! I love how over the top and tacky it is out there, so much fun for sure. Sadly, I have to settle for the east coast vegas: Atlantic City.
    Anyway, you look great.
    PS-It's my first time reading your blog....I'm gonna follow it now :)
