36 hours: whirlwind vegas trip in pictures

 7 am departure; cold and rainy.
 snacks to keep me company: melon pan and cheese cake! hello kitty pjs.
 yay, it stopped raining.

 ( F21 hat and boots, Andrew Marc Leopard fur coat, velvet tee, vintage levis cutoffs, Louis Vuitton Alma Miroir GM bag)

First stop: shopping!

 (Gucci Dress, Jessica Simpson shoes, Chanel Earrings)

After no sleep the previous night, we got in a good nap of about a whopping 2 hours. Who sleeps in Vegas, right? I literally had 20 minutes to get ready before dinner and a show. I didn't have time to shorten/hem my dress either. I just tucked it under, lol. Later, as I was walking the hemline slowly fell. haha. Also I'm such a bad packer and forgot a lot of things; case in point, a  clutch. My arm was very sore this weekend.
 Blue Man Group show at the Venetian. Very entertaining but at times slow. I'm gonna stick to the cirque shows from now on.
 Hemline is still hanging on. I think this length is much more flattering.
 Emeril Lagasse's Delmonicos Steakhouse

 Appetizer: BBQ shirmp in a duck confit
 Spinach and ridicchio salad w/ goat cheese
 
 I love this chandelier.
 watching people play poker.

I had this coat since I was about 8, mom gave it to me, but I never wore it until now. good thing she kept it for me! I love the toggle buttons.
 love these tights
 thrifted bracelets and watch taken from mom
 F21 rhinestone bracelet, Hermes bracelet
 

 4 hours sleep= coffee please!


 Rainbow! my camera kept focusing on the defroster lines in my windshield!

 Poor hello kitties stuck in here forever. Bf tried to rescue one many times but they were too packed in :(


 cute coca cola furniture

 immitating my 3 year-old self. LOL
 baby, its cold outside...and windy

 Serendipity! This place is so cute, look at the milkshake shaped bush and the pink reindeers!



 Frozen hot chocolate for 2

 yummy
 cheesecake: too pretty to eat

 I'm not a gambler at all, in fact I would rather shop with the money spent on gambling. But when I walked by this machine I just had to try it! Sex and the city slot machine~ so genius

 Trying to figure out how to play.
 Confused.
When in doubt, "max bet"
 The bonus games were so cute.


 bye bye vegas. But before we leave, one last stop.



So tired and delirious, but had a much needed weekend getaway! Although it was short, I had a blast!

its a jungle out there.

Pao de Queijo- yummy cheese bread
 cheesy goodness
 Chicken Bossa Salad
Churrasquinho no Pão
 Plantains

(M Missoni sweater, H&M leatherette leggins, Steve Madden booties, F21 accessories)

Had Bossa Nova for lunch today. I love the little cheese bread balls, so light, crisp and fluffy, with a gooey center. Bossa Salad was satisfying and the skirt steak sandwich with plantains was pretty legit. With the holidays drawing near and the sudden rain this week, it feels like a jungle out there. Now I need to pack for my weekend getaway, of course always last minute!

straps, buckles, and zippers

 


 Jessica Simpson shoes. I love how these buckle in the front like a corset, and despite the strappiness they are very comfortable. Can't wait to wear them out! Christmas is just around the corner and it finally feels a bit like a so-cal winter. I'm gonna break out my fur coat for this weekend in Vegas~

wants


 
Alexander Wang Donna Hobo
I love this bag in all its zippered glory. It looks so soft and functional with all of the little zippered compartments. Since most of my bags are structured this would be a wonderful addition to my collection.
Available at shopbop. $795
  
Proenza Schouler PS1bag
Greyish mushroom colored bags are necessary for this season. Roomy enough to carry all of the daily essentials. It looks like a 60's school girl's vintage satchel with its double buckled straps and burnished gold hardware. I'm in love. Unfortunately, this beauty is sold out :(
 Hermes Orange Birkin 35 with gold hardware. 
Need I say more? My tan Birkin 40 weighs about 20 pounds with nothing in it. About 50 pounds with my life inside. Every time I carry it, I get a very sore left arm with 2 bright red lines indented across my inner forearms. But for Hermes I will suffer. I would hope the 35 weighs a bit less? The signature orange color is beautiful with the gold hardware. This would have been my first choice had it been available in the store when I purchased my Tan Birkin last year. 
If you are lucky, at the Hermes store. $10,000
 iPad 2
The pic above is obvs the iPad 1 since there is no pic of the iPad 2 yet. But we all know its coming! The iPad 2 will feature a camera so that you can do face time, and I'm sure there will be a few other cool improvements too. 

 Chanel iPad case. 
Why not? ^_^ Serena Vanderwoodsen had the LV one. hehe.
 
Chanel Patent calfskin wallet in hot pink.
Reminiscent of the make up compacts, this long wallet is super cute and girly. I'm in need of a new wallet!

Hermes reversible belt in orange/ black with gold hardware.
To go with the above Orange Birkin. Plus its reversible! So genius. Two belts for the price of one. 
$585 @ Hermes.com
Yves Saint Laurent Red Suede Tribtoo Pumps.
Sky high heels with a covered platform. Classic.
Barneys.com $795 
 
Louis Vuitton coat with fox fur. 
I love this entire outfit. The cape-like fur trim with what looks like a buckled closure in the front is amazing and adorable.
 
Louis Vuitton Wool Beret with embellished LV logo.
I would wear this with the coat above and the YSL tribtoo pumps. I love hats.
All Saints Caradon Jacket.
Love the oversized collar and horn toggles. Just lovely.
 
See by Chloe Chunky Cardigan
Grandma-ish + slouchy= perfect combination.
  
House of Harlow Chelsea cat eye sunglasses
Nicole Richie, love her. Totally digging this oversized cat eye.

Popped in the Marc store on melrose today. Picked up a few cute accessories. They had some super cute ankle boots for 70% off but didn't have my size :( oh well. I wore this sheer lace top (which I wish was tighter or a body suit, would've fit better) to add a feminine touch to these mens-inspired pants. I haven't worn trousers or dress pants since I stopped working at the bank, which was like 3 years ago, I'm more of a skirt/ shorts girl. hehe. Had lunch at Jerrys Famous Deli, super good. Got the reuben pastrami with sweet potato fries, onion rings, and coleslaw. I sweet potato fries!

Summer in December





 (Forever 21 silk top, ring, and wedges, Levis cut offs, vintage belt, Chanel bag, Charlotte Russe necklace and snake ring, mom's watch, vita bracelets)

 (the 2 pics above taken on my bf's iphone)
With the weather reaching high 70's and low 80's this weekend, I was able to get away with dressing in what I would normally wear in the summertime. I've been kind of obsessed with chinese chicken salad these days. While driving on melrose, we decided to grab lunch at California Chicken Cafe. This place has amazing salads, juicy rotisserie chicken, and yummy sides. We got the chicken pasta side. It was the perfect light meal to go with the beautiful weather!
