blue lagoons and vegas night clubs.

<span class=
happy middle of the week blog-land! I hope you are enjoying all of these vegas posts... only a few more to go, so make sure that you comment and get yourself entered to win the give away at the end of the week! :) skipping around a bit again and bringing you the outfit from our last night in vegas. I saved it for the finale evening since it was my favorite! it was a new purchase right before the trip. I had searched all over to find something bright, sassy, and fun. you know, vegas style. I think that I succeeded.
<span class=
we also saved the swankiest club for the last night. we had our friend and vegas hook up put us on the VIP list for XS in encore. encore is the newer portion of the wynn and is right next door to it. I absolutely die over the decadence and decor there. when we did our "girl's trip" last spring we stayed at encore... and never wanted to leave! the rest of our group hadn't been to XS before, but I knew that they were going to LOVE it and it was a must see.

strapless dress (with pockets! squeal!)- jessica mcclintock
belt-bebe, patent clutch- bebe,
stilettos- chinese laundry (vegan shoes, thank you very much.)
<span class=
I kept my hair simple in a high pony with some volume (like always). I also kept the jewelry to a minimum, just some rocking bangles. the dress was so "loud", bright, and oh so much fun.... that I really wanted it to take center stage and shine.

introducing the girls: rach, jess, and britt. here we are in the VIP area outside. do you know who else was there? only paris hilton AND all three of the kardashians. I don't particularly care for any of those people, but still... it was pretty neat to be in the same area as celebrities.
<span class=
these girls are such a blast and all super stylish in their own way. I love having friends that I can grab fashion inspiration from and feed off of in a positive way.

my blonde soul mate, britt. check out the close up of the pattern on the dress. super funky! I am already dying to wear it out again. perfect for hot summer nights. again, I am so all about blue tones this summer. get on board with it. ;)
<span class=
so the interesting and fabulous part about XS is that is an indoor and outdoor venue. when the sun sets, the club takes over the cabana area of the pool. so when you need some air, you just breeze out the massive open doors (floor to ceiling, looks like a wall is missing) and step into the pool area. the VIP bar is in the middle of the pool which is pretty fantabulous if you ask me.

gorgeous rach. these are my LA girls who I am going to be visiting in a few weeks.
<span class=
the best part about being next to the pool? when those killer heels hurt, you can toss them off and have a dance party in the water! you can see one of the bar areas in the pool right behind us.
<span class=
please believe that this water dance off went on for at least 30 minutes. so much fun!

grabbed one of the shots that the profesh photographer took for us.

david and rachel are one of our favorite "couple" friends. they are so silly and even though they both are extremely focused and determined individuals (doctor and accountant) they can laugh and not take themselves seriously at all. it is such a rare thing to find another couple that you both truly get along with. really wished we all lived closer! we already have a vegas trip in the works with these guys for the end of october. you heard me.
halloween. in. vegas.
costume planning has already commenced!

end of the night. the last night of vacation is always bitter sweet. here are some shots of the club for you, so you can see for yourself how amazing it is!

  2. HA. I think you now know more crazy-silly accountants than stodgy-stuffy accountants.

    You're welcome.

  3. That is the perfect Vegas dress! And it will double as something so great for Southern Cali! I remember when you were looking for a dress, and I cannot believe you found one that so perfectly fits you and your style.

    And, as always, you are so gorgeous. You and your honey are like some kind of power couple.

  4. So, I opened your blog and immediately zeroed in on that dres. Next mission of life: find one! I will never be able to pull it off like you, though.
    I'm not a big fan of the Kardashians either, but dude... that is so cool!

  12. As for Vegas stories...I've never done anything crazy there.

    It's 114 degrees, in August. I was at Stratosphere, working on the tan at the pool at the top. Which happens to be a topless pool (although I was NOT topless). So there are all these half-naked women, of course. And then, Elvis walks in. Yup. The guy who plays Elvis at the hotel. Walks through, says hi to everyone, in full costume, drinking a beer. He does a walk around the pool, then says bye to everyone and goes back out.

    It just seemed so very...Vegas.
