Hello Darlings,
I am wearing:
First of all, thanks everyone for your support on yesterdays post!!! This is my place to stand up for my personal beliefs and voice my opinion on certain matters, I'm not very good at overlooking things :P Thank you for your sweet words! I adore my blog and more so I adore the new friends ( all of you darlings) that I have made because of it :)
This is the last part of my Las Vegas posts! Lounging by the pool was the best way to beat the heat...and of course, finally have a chance to wear my new Brette Sandler silk cover up.
I am wearing:
Moschino Bikini
Christian Audigier One piece swinsuit
Juicy Couture Flats
Coach Wristlet
Large Floppy hat from a random store.
I am wearing:
Kerrigan by Daryl K silk dress
Ruthie Davis Swarovski Crystal shoes
Coach Clutch
Despite bringing 6 pair of heels and 3 pairs of flats... those fabulous shoes you love so much become a torture device after a few days of all that walking and dancing!!! ( Outchy) After experiencing my first blisters in many years after the first night, I resorted to wearing my trusty flats up until the point of going to clubs.
I am wearing:
Alexander Wang Chiffon Dress
Juicy Couture Flats
Coach Wristlet
Luc Kieffer Ring
At first I could not bear wearing my favorite Wang dress or my new favorite tutu skirt with flats... however, not only did I learn to love it, but I also came to appreciate that it could look cute and add a touch of effortlessness to the entire ensemble. Honestly, I think that flats can look as wonderful as high heels... I know that this is the worst thing to say, since fashion dictates high heels is the most fabulous thing ever. I do find that flats are the best substitute and can be as chic as high heels on some occasions:)
What do you darlings think? Can flats be as fabulous as high heels?
Lessons learned: Heels are not worth wearing if you're going to cripple your feet! And wearing a floppy hat is a smart choice, not only to shield your face from the harmful rays but also to avoid heat stroke!
I am wearing: Maggie Ward Dress;
Juicy Couture Flat
Gustto Cokera Purse
A.V. Max Cuff
Floppy Hat from a random store.
As for the rest of the vacation spent exploring, eating and lounging... I wore flats and more casual attire! Including my favorite Meggie Ward dress. It looks amazing with everything, got to love those pieces that offer you endless variety. From casual to night out this dress is ideal!
I am wearing:
Club Monaco Semi-Sheer Top
Chanel Sunglasses.
To top of almost every outfit I wore my floppy hat, religiously. I never thought that I could pull it off or feel comfortable wearing it, but I fell in love. A fedora may be the hat of the moment, but it made me feel like a teenage boy and really did not suit my style. Soooooo many people make it look a-m-a-z-i-n-g, I just felt awkward. But the floppy hat made me feel like a lady :)
By the way, if you're ever in Las Vegas check out the Bellagio fountains. They are sooo stunning (click on the video belong and turn on the speakers). Also check out the Eiffel Tower, the views from there is beyond AMAZING!
I wish you all a stunning day!!!
With Love...

Hello Darlings,
I finished reading The Age of Innocence and loved it. It exquisitely details the struggle between love and responsibility through the experiences of men and women in Gilded Age New York. And noteworthy is that author Edith Wharton became the the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize with this book.
Speaking of of The Age of Innocence, I came across this amusing quote....
"Ah, well, Boston is more conservative than New York; but I always think it's safe rule
for a lady to lay aside her French dresses for one season."
- Edith Wharton
It's amazing how quickly times change. Then, it was not proper for a lady to wear a new dress for at least a year. Now we wear things right of the rack. Our times have become so rapid that the seasons no longer play any importance as the designers are producing their winter and resort collection in the spring/summer of the previous year. Fashion is becoming like a fast food market - easy, fast and ready to go in 5 minutes! Is our world becoming too fast that even we can't catch up with it?
As I went shopping for my Las Vegas getaway, I couldn't help but be frustrated at all of the boots and jackets in stores. It is high 20s outside and the stores were filled with winter clothes. This is becoming too depressing....it feels like everyone if getting too ahead of themselves.
Personally, I am one of those people that can find peace and calm in the middle of the of chaos.That perfect calm moment usually happens over a cup of espresso and a book...sometimes taking those minutes is all you need. When shopping with my mommy , we take 5 minutes to stop by Godiva and pick up Dark Chocolate Decadence-it became a tradition. Those 5 minutes is all you need to restart and reboot,and of course satisfy the sweet-tooth.
Speaking of winter and fall... I have found the most perfect pair of flat Kors boots, they are sooo awesome :) Totally excited about them! I know, I know.... I am getting ahead of myself, but I just couldn't pass by them when they were on a 65% off sale and I wanted them since last winter but couldn't justify spending $500 on a 5th pair of boots for that year. So I got them for this year... with a much better deal :)
