Last Days in Vegas

Hello Again!

Well Vegas, it's been real, but it's time to wrap it up. Here is a quick-ish rundown of our last two days....
Day 4:


We decided to chill a bit on our last day. We headed over to New York, New York so that Aron could ride the roller coaster. I don't do roller coasters :)

 Cardigan & Dress: Torrid, Leggings: Mossimo, Shoes: Me Too, Purse: Jessica Simpson Collection, Hair Flower: Lola's Lovelies, Lipstick Pin: Domino Dollhouse

 Badass candy Statue of Liberty at NY, NY

We had our picture taken with a lion cub at MGM:)

Later that night we headed over to The Wynn to partake in their amazing buffet. We took a stroll through their "mall".

 Decor at the buffet, good grief it was gorgeous.

Some random Vegas at night shots.

Aron wanted to see a Vegas showgirl-y show, so we decided on Jubilee at Bally. I hate to say this, but it was horrible. The show was straight out of the 70s/80s, and not in a good way. We're talking Sampson and Delilah, and a cheery Titanic musical number. Here are some bad indoor pics of what I wore.

 Dress: Forever 21, Cardigan: Mossimo, Necklace: ASOS

We needed a few drinks after Jubilee, so we headed back to The Mirage. I ended up at my fave slot machine. She was cruel to me that night.

 After too many drinks, we headed to the Carnegie for cheesecake and fries. Had to Instagram this one.

 Day 5

All good things must come to an end. Don't you just hate the end to a fab vacation? My face says it all.

Dress: ASOS, Cardigan: Mossimo, Boots: Marshal's

We spent most of the day relaxing and getting our last bit of slot machine gambling in. Then it was time to go.

 Bye Bye Strip

 Bye Bye Desert

Well, that concludes the Vegas posting on my blog. Thanks for reading!

Vegas Day 3: Atomic Testing & Cheeseburgers

Yep, I am finally going to finish these Vegas postings!

By now it's no secret Aron and I strayed off the beaten path a bit on our Vegas trip. But I don't want you to think it was all educational! We started Day Three at the Mirage casino.

Me in front of my favorire slot, 1,000,000 Degrees. I won some, and lost more.

Aron at his fave slot, Batman (of course).

 Then we moved on to The Atomic Testing Museum. Yeppers! It was an extremely windy day, but I was determined to get in a fashion shoot in front of the museum.

Dress: Forever 21 Plus, Cardigan: Mossimo, Leggings: Mossimo, Boots: Marshal's, Purse: Jessica Simpson Collection, Sunglasses: Target

Ahhh, the wind got the better of me. But, can I tell you how much I love this dress! The color, print, and fit are fab-thanks Forever 21+.

The Atomic Testing Museum was informitive....and disturbing.

After the museum,we stopped by an In-N-Out Burger. This was our first visit to an In-N-Out burger, as there are none nearby us in Tennessee. Can I say I was impressed? I think these would be great drunk eats. But, it was only noon, so we weren't intoxicated as of yet. They were still yummy :)

We tried to visit the Burlesque Hall of Fame, but they were closed for an off site event :( So, we headed on over to the Pawn Stars shop. It was a tourist thing, we just had to go.

Well, there was this line we stood in.

 After waiting in line to get inside, we made our way around the store. It seems different than what is portrayed on television. I guess they shut the store down for filming,or only let a few people inside?

We took the scenic route back to the main strip.

 Later that night, we headed out to see The Beatles Love Cirque de Soilel at The Mirage. We were lucky enough to see this show back in 2008 on our honeymoon, and we knew we had to see it again. Here is a trailer of the show, but it doesn't really do it justice.

Hope you are all enjoying your week!

Vegas Day 2: Desert Fashion in The Valley of Fire

I am back to share Day 2 of our Vegas trip with you.The majority if this day was spent about 50 miles outside of Vegas, in the Valley of Fire State Park. Yep, I am going to be the obnoxious person showing you a gazillion vacation photos, so prepare yourself!

Even though I knew we would be hiking through the desert, I still wanted to play with my Sephora goodies the purchased the previous day. Hey, I was feeling glam :)

 Fresh Soy Face Cream, Sephora Brush, Tarte Lip Stain, Kat Von D Ludwig Eyeshadow Palette

 I generally don't play around with eye shadow colors, but I loved the soft greens of the KVD palette.

We headed out to the Valley of Fire in the morning. Courtesy of the park's website, here is a quick summary of the location:

"Valley of Fire is Nevada's oldest and largest state park, dedicated 1935. The valley derives its name from the red sandstone formations and the stark beauty of the Mojave Desert. Ancient trees and early man are represented throughout the park by areas of petrified wood and 3,000 year-old Indian petroglyph. Popular activities include camping, hiking, picnicking and photography."

 Aron drove us out to the park :)

 We stopped at a large valley right before the park entrance. A nice family was snapping photos as well, and we took turns taking each others picture.

I gasped when I saw the red sandstone-the photos really don't do it justice!

Here are some photos of us in the "honeycomb" formations.

The petroglyphs blew my mind. I love imagining what these images really mean, what stories they are trying to tell....

After the Valley of Fire, I subjected poor Aron to the mall ( I was searching for brown tights to no avail). Afterwards, we headed back to the room to freshen up before dinner.

I tried to get a cute pic of my outfit, but the indoor lighting was a nightmare. Wearing a shrug, Tripp dress, and a Perlina forest green clutch. I really need a decent camera. Sigh....

We walked over to the Venetian for dinner at Bouchon. I can't really say enough good things about this restaurant. Aron's brother recommended it to us when we were on our honeymoon 3 years ago. I was worried about the "snooty" factor, but I always feel very at ease at Bouchon. 5 stars all the way. I am part French, so I love cheese very,very much. And there steak and fries is out of control.

I made Aron take a photo of the cheese.

Here are some rad Winter Wonderland nuggets outside of the Venetian.

 Thank you for reading this photo obnoxious post!
