Vegas at night

wearing: gold hoops / dress (runs big) / Dior summer nail polish / small tote bag / sneakers / (alternate shoe choice) /

Vegas at night has a certain je ne sais quoi. The lights, the buzz, and the over the top architecture are all part of the mystique and fun.

We stayed in a hotel off the strip so we could be close to our daughter’s cheer competition, which was the reason we were in Las Vegas. So, in order to get to the strip and avoid the chaotic traffic, we took the tram. This required quite a bit of walking on my part, so my heels were left in the hotel and I wore my sneakers for the evening. It was out of my comfort zone for style, but my feet were very happy. Soooooo, there’s that. Anyhoo. . .

Vegas is a rooftop type of town, so we had dinner at Cheri’s Rooftop inside the Paris hotel. I loved the view and the service was really good, the food was meh. We still had fun though!

After dinner, we went across the street to watch the water show. I haven’t watched it in over twenty years. It was a nostalgic moment for me remembering all the trips I used to take to Vegas with my friends before I got married. haha

We watched the show a couple times and then called it night since we had an early flight home the next morning. It was definitely a whirlwind, thirty-six hours in Vegas!

I love this dress and plan to wear it often in the upcoming months, the only drawback is that it runs large and I needed at least one size down. That’s ok, I will still wear it. If you order it, and are between sizes, pick the smaller size.

Casual afternoon in Las Vegas

wearing: gold hoop earrings / paisley oversized tee / Dior summer nail polish / classic jeans / small tote / sneakers /

Vegas baby! We recently took a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas to watch our daughter’s cheer team compete in National’s. We are so proud of her! She is on her college cheer team, and they did such an amazing job at National’s placing first! Love!

We flew in on a Friday night and our plane was extremely delayed. By the time we got to the hotel, it was almost midnight and we were ready to crash; so no Friday night on the town for us!

On Saturday, our daughter’s cheer team didn’t compete until the evening, so we had some downtime during the day to relax. We met her at Zeffer’s Cafe inside the Westgate for lunch.

Zeffer’s Cafe was so yummy! We all enjoyed our meals. They had both brunch and dinner available on their menu, so I went with lunch. I would definitely go back!

After lunch, I was still exhausted from the previous night’s travel experience, so I got a cold brew to wake me up!

We sat by the pool and relaxed. It was a little bit chilly, so we didn’t go in the pool, just relaxed on deck. I enjoyed my coffee and my husband indulged in a beer. I may or may not have dozed off for thirty minutes, but I digress. . .

After relaxing at the pool, it was time to switch things up and change into our college merch for the cheer comp! I don’t have pictures of that to protect my daughter’s privacy, but it was an evening of tumbling, stunting, fun routines, and watching our daughter’s team claim first place. Go team!

Tucson Arizona recap

wearing: hoop earrings / black knit top / pink nail polish / classic jeans / small tote / sneakers /

Last year we visited Tucson and had fun seeing all the desert had to offer, this year we did a quick trip to check out the University of Arizona. It was a really pretty campus with food robots! If you scroll down, I included a pic of one. haha

We found a friendly, locally owned sushi restaurant named “Flakes” right across from campus the food was yummy, and the owner was really nice and knowledgeable about the Tucson area. I highly recommend going if you are in the Tucson area!

I normally stay away from hotel breakfasts because they tend to be on the pricey side without a lot of value, but the Tucson Marriot was different. They had a delicious breakfast menu and there was also a buffet which looked good. We ordered off the menu and our food was delicious. I highly recommend it!

Our flight out of Tucson was at an awkward time, so we went a little bit early and ate dinner before our flight. I am so glad we did! Our food was really delicious. We enjoyed dinner at “El Charro Cafe,” I highly recommend it! Yum!

What I wore for the college tour:

Well, it was a really quick trip to Tucson! So that’s it!

Thanks for stopping by!
