Hey guys! I’m back! I was gone on holiday for a bit this past week. This years destination? VIIIVVA LAS VEGAS!! My family and I took a road trip out to Sin City for a short getaway. We escaped the drab, rainy days here in LA for something a little more… alive! This was probably one of my favorite trips to Vegas. I feel like we really got to see everything Vegas has to offer. There was great food, entertainment, and shopping. I took a bit too many photos, but I love them all! As for my wardrobe, I found myself mixing polka dots, florals, and cargo into a single look. Usually I opt for basics, but it’s Vegas, so why not go a little crazy with my wardrobe?! I’m pretty much obsessed with this dotted sweater and will wear it with anything, even if that means clashing prints! Part 2 of my Vegas trip to come!

Most of all, I want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you for joining me on this crazy ride this year. I’m so happy to have such amazing, supportive readers. 2011 is bound to be crazier and I can hardly wait!

These photos shockingly turned out to look a lot like something you’d see in a J. Crew or Gap catalog. Playful and fun, these snapshots were taken on my front porch. I love the put together, buttoned to the top, collegiate look at the moment! This sheer black top is perfect for layering under a pullover sweater. Right now I am living in this one from Doris Apparel, one of my blog sponsors.

It’s been raining so much here in California the past few days and I haven’t been too enthusiastic about what I wear. Seriously, it has not stopped and it is driving me nuts! I cannot wait till this storm passes. I want it to be safe to drive over 10 mph on the road again aaaaand I want to wear something remotely blog-worthy. Until then, I’m trying to stay dry all while gearing up for the holidays!

This week has been so busy! I’ve been on so many castings I can’t even count, shot for Joe’s Jeans, and still managed to take a few outfit shots. I’ve gotten to the point where it’s hard for me to even remember what I did the day before, but then I look through my Canon, and I’m like “Oh yeah, that was fun!” Welp, we had a very foggy day here in Los Angeles this week. This type of weather really gets my hair feeling all wet and slimy, not my favorite! I stayed cozy in an amazing wool blend cable knit and a pair of vintage denim shorts. In fear of rain completely upsetting my high-maintenance bangs (i kid), I trampled about town with my giant parka. Overall, it was a beautiful day in an outfit I plan on putting on repeat.

This was such a fun day! I spent the morning at castings, had lunch in Chinatown, and ended the day holiday shopping at the Americana. These type of days are the best and thank goodness my sis Dy and I lugged around our camera because we got some awesome fun shots. I’m wearing a very slouchy Free People sweater with a Cheap Monday skirt. The shoulder bag is Melie Bianco. I wore this same bag, but in pink, in the October Free People catalog! See it here!! I’m in love with the floral print and it’s baby softness. Once I got downtown, I pulled off my heels, and changed into a pair of flat boots. Perfect for running around crazy downtown LA. For night, I swiped on some plum lipstick! The beautiful night lights at the Americana definitely got me in the holiday spirit! Just one of those amazing days trekking around town!
