Point me towards a bright turquoise painted bus and I’ll be happy to pose in front of it. 🙂 Another look we shot in the arts district of Las Vegas. There were colorful murals everywhere you looked so it was hard to stay focused when shooting these.

On our way out to Vegas I noticed these colorful rocks right outside the city and told Jeff we were stopping there on the way home. I’d seen them on instagram a few times and wanted to see them in person. The exhibit is called Seven Magic Mountains and it’s made up of these amazingly bright colorful rocks. You can find more information about them here if you’d like to visit.

With less than two weeks to go until Christmas I’m sure some of you are already thinking ahead to New Years Eve. I won’t be doing much celebrating this year, (maybe from my couch with some sparkling cider) but I know a lot of you will be heading out-of-town. Las Vegas is always a popular spot to ring in the new year and I think Aria Resort and Casino would be the perfect place to stay if you’re thinking about heading out there. The location is pretty great, it’s very central on the strip with a tram that takes you down to The Bellagio or up to The Monte Carlo. The resort and casino are so nice and clean I never felt like I was getting a lot of second-hand smoke like most casinos on the strip. And there are SO MANY great restaurants right on site. I wish we’d had more time to try them all.

This week is kind of crawling by, but at least it’s Thursday! My days are pretty packed up until the holidays which is nice and a little stressful at the same time.

We had so much fun on our quick trip to Vegas last weekend, these pictures are from a day we spent at The Shops at Crystals – which was connected to our hotel. It was super convenient and dangerous at the same time. I decided that the best way to do Vegas pregnant was to shop so that’s what our day consisted of Sunday… and a little Saturday, if I’m being honest.

Over the weekend Jeff and I hopped over to Las Vegas for a quick pre-babymoon, if that even exists. I know Vegas doesn’t sound like the most conventional place for a pregnant girl but we made sure it was pregnancy friendly. We were hosted by The Aria and were welcomed with a spacious room and relatively smoke-free casino and really enjoyed our stay. We also loved that the hotel was connected to The Shops at Crystals and had fun shopping there.

A few months back I went on a peplum binge and scooped up everything pep I came across. H&M kept this trend fully stocked and this was my choice for perfect spring top. The best part? It was under $13. I’ve worn it at least four times the past two months, which means it’s cost me a little more than $3 a wear. Love that!

My friend Nikki from Bedazzles After Dark tagged me in a five things post. So here are five things you (probably) don’t know about me.

1. I met Britney Spears just hours before she married Jason Alexander in Vegas back in 2004. She was at the same restaurant in the Palms as my friends and I so a few of us went over to talk to her. I was a majorly star-struck 19-year-old and she couldn’t have been nicer!
2. When I was a kid I would spend hours drawing floor plans of houses. I thought I wanted to be an architect but hated math, I’ve always been really into home design.
3. I was born in the small town of Cottonwood Arizona and lived there for the first seven months of  my life.
4. I’m a textural eater. I hate potatoes and tomatoes, but love french fries and ketchup.
5. Working in the entertainment industry I’ve been insulted by everyone from Martha Stewart to Taylor Momsen. I just laugh because it’s funny and makes for great stories.

Now I tag Rachel, Christina, Jade, Jen and Sheree

h&m top (love this similar version), old blazer from nordstrom (similar), target jeans, michael heels (similar), kate spade (love this one) and sequin bracelets

 PS – Let me know if you’re going to LUCKYFABB. I’ll be there!
