The final part of my Sin City 2011 posts.

I really love dressing up, whether it be for a tasteful dinner or a naughty night out clubbing! The great thing about Vegas is the same great thing about Halloween: it’s one of the few times a year that all girls get a free pass to dress as scantily as they want without judgement or a care in the world. I am in no way a big party girl or on the club scene often, but I enjoy a chance to wear something a little bit more outrageous from time to time.

The first night at Tryst, I wore a red asymmetrical ruched dress by Symphony with awesome black feather earrings and patent leather t-strap platforms. These Jeffrey Campbell Foxy lookalikes were surprisingly comfortable for their 5.25” heel because they have such a thick platform and sturdy heel. I grabbed these bad boys for under $30! I really liked this red, one-shoulder dress because #1, it was RED and who doesn’t love red? #2, it was $13 :P and #3, it was so bold and fun! It was a tiny tiny little dress and I had to be careful of the ruching hiking up too high. Overall, it looked great and the bf approved = success!

The second night at XS, I wore a white cowl neck dress with jewel embellishments on the shoulder, studded grey heels, and crystal earrings. Omg, I LOOOVED this dress! I thought it was really sexy but had a classy silhouette. I wish I’d taken a picture of the back too. The only complaint was that it was so sheer, but thanks to some spanks I was good to go. Also, I just wanted to point out how fabulous my Shiekh grey heels are with their studded and spiked embellishments. So funky and edgy! They’re very reminiscent of the Sam Edelman Roza pumps, but not on studded steroids. Are you loving my shoe love on a budget as much as I am?

For both nights, I wore my Kate Spade quilted clutch and luckily didn’t lose anything! I also had on Zoya’s “Ginessa” silver nail polish and Aldo and F21 rings. My go-to Vegas gear is a tiny little dress + big statement earrings + fun shoes I bought for the occasion ;) I tried going for dramatic eye makeup, but I have yet to master it because I don’t have a deep eye crease. I also have room for improvement in the hair department, but a high ponytail or straightened hair is always an easy and sleek way to go.

As wonderful as it is to go a little wild with friends, I always have more fun with my awesome bf by my side. It feels more comfortable and lighthearted when he’s around and I can just be myself. We spent an additional day in Vegas to have a little alone time after my friends left and booked a suite in Vdara just for the two of us. It was a fabulous weekend despite my cold because it had both the fun party beginning + couple’s-weekend-away ending. Aw baby, you are my favorite accessory :)
