Vegas Baby (Part 2)

To relaxing at our mega hotel (Cosmopolitan), post-shopping...

Forever 21 skirt and shirt. Tory Burch Miller thong sandals. Chanel sunglasses.

To the luxurious, pictures-do-not-do-it-justice spa...

Entrance to Cosmopolitan Sahra Spa and Hammam.

 

Lounge area after the Red Flower Bathing Ritual (thank you to my wonderful friends!).

To the fine dining...

Jaleo and Fleur (not pictured). Jose Andres does not disappoint but Hubert Keller left more to be desired.


And...of course, to the infamous strip and nightlife, both of which are almost always blurred.

View from hotel before hitting Marquee and 1 Oak. 

Until next summer  - viva Las Vegas!



Juicy Couture bathing suit.

Vegas Baby (Part 1)

A summertime trip to Vegas is neither the classiest nor most exotic option but it is always welcome and borderline necessary. 

From the daytime pool parties....

Boulevard Pool at Cosmopolitan.  (For crazier, go to Marquee Dayclub Pool and for less crazy, go to Bamboo Pool.)

 

Trina Turk bathing suit.  Nails: China Glaze "Celtic Sun Neon Yellow" and OPI "I Have a Herring Problem."

 

Jewelry: Kate Spade earrings; vintage, Kate Spade and Michael Kors arm candy, Patricia Field nameplate necklace; Tory Burch sunglasses.

 

Aqua Shirt Dress.  Sam Edelman sandals.

Keep Calm and Wine Down

I started this blog in part because of all the amazing destination bachelorette parties I have attended in the past several years, most of which could have been better documented.  This past weekend in Santa Barbara for a certain Couture Confectioner was no less amazing, as we...

Gorged on bachelorette themed desserts (inappropriate ones not pictured). 

Wine tasted at Bridalwoode, Melville, Foley wineries.

Made a pit stop in Solvang (Danish town) for pastries.

Lounged at our hotel, the Bacara Resort & Spa.  Zara shoes. Xhilaration swim cover-up (don't sleep on Target!).

Hit the confetti-strewn streets of Santa Barbara, filled with those celebrating Fiesta!  Zigi Soho Shoes (worn by Couture Confectioner). 

But most importantly, toasted the Couture Confectioner herself and our 17-year friendship.
