viva las vegas!

Hi everyone!!

I have missed you all while I was getting some R&R in Austin,TX and Las Vegas...baby!

Of course, I had you in mind during my vacay and wanted to share some of my favorite things.  

Vegas is just a big playground for adults with interesting and amazing things to do and explore.  

My parents and I stayed at the Encore hotel (connected to the Wynn hotel) which was gorgeous.  The newer the hotel is, the more luxe the design is and I was SO inspired by everything I saw at the Encore.  We also visited the Cosmopolitan hotel which I would highly recommend for girls trips or bachelorette parties!!! 

And while you're there don't miss The Henry restaurant... I am a bit of a burger freak and I am willing to say The Munchie burger was one of the best burgers ever (bacon, cheese, big H bbq sauce, and chips...absolutely!)!!

I wish I could share every single thing I saw, did and ate but here are a few of my favorites.....

I loved these mirrors with crystal detailing in the Encore Spa!
The fun wallpaper behind them add an extra touch of feminine glamour!
