Kendra's Night Out In My Crazy Hometown, Las Vegas!

If you've ever had a chance to visit Las Vegas, I recommend going right now! February and March are the most pleasant months to enjoy the sun, the outdoors, shows, concerts, salons, malls, spas, pools, casinos, and of course, the 4.2-mile strip. I hope you venture outside of that too because there's lots to be done outside of that neon carnival!

Travel expert Kendra Thornton asked me to put together a day look and night look for her big trip to Vegas! AKA. "Kendra's Night Out" Challenge. As a busy mother, she explains that she doesn't keep up with the latest trends. I hope you like what I've put together. :)

Fun fact* - See that Googie mid-century modern star (yes, that's how it's spelled NOT Google) on the sign? My husband and I have matching tattoos of that star. As a former Las Vegas resident of nearly 20 years, I love that place and the silly, loving people in it! (Also, check out my LOCALS' GUIDE TO LAS VEGAS HERE!)

Kendra, I hope you have a wonderful time in Vegas!

You can read more about her plans here.

"A couple months ago, some of my friends decided to go to Las Vegas for a night, and they invited me to go as well. I was thrilled at a chance to go back to Las Vegas. I usually went with my husband, but since we have three children, I have not gone for a while. My wardrobe would not fit in with the style and culture of Las Vegas, since we will be staying the night at the Palms Casino & Resort. Therefore, my friends have created a challenge called “Kendra’s Fashion Challenge.” This challenge that they have undertaken is trying to identify cute outfits that I should wear while we are at the Palms Casino & Resort. It will be interesting to see what they will do, as I am in desperate need.

A ModCloth Look by Me

One of my favorite brands ModCloth (yes!) asked me to participate in their Uniquely You campaign. I've written about them several times on this blog, so it was a no-brainer. I'm a BIG fan of vintage-inspired style, and I often covet their dreamy dresses.

Mod Stylist Amy H. asked me to put a look together on Polyvore with the Lead by Example Dress matched up with several other pieces on their website. See below: I can feel slight hints of Spring approaching, so I wanted to keep it sunny! It's going to be a glorious Spring and Summer!

Gemma Kahng

I just watched Gemma Kahng's big comeback on Joe Zee's show "All On The Line." (Season 1, Episode 4 on Netflix!) I haven't been in New York in about 4.5 years. Ouch, it kills me thinking about it! But I'm still lurking and absorbing all the beautiful fashion online.

Okay after watching this, I'm going to bust out my faux fur vintage coat this weekend. :)

Clueless, BFC & Girl Power

These photos have been out for a while, but I couldn't help but think about my good girl friends Lady C & Crassy Wallace.

Not only have we already imitated photos like this, but last summer we rewatched Clueless missing the sass of the 90s.

Dionne, Cher and Tai, I think we are a little bit of each.

If I could remember a time in my life when I felt so empowered, it was when I surrounded myself with an army of women.

A serious reunion needs to happen soon, but we have to conquer sleep deprivation first. Visits home are always a mad dash of stress. Maybe we can convince Christie to come up here and join us! This photo is definitely Christie!

All photos are from Wildfox's Spring 2013 Collection

Anybody else watching Girls, Carrie Diaries or Hart of Dixie? I love my girly TV.

Advanced Style Party

Last month we dressed up in our wildest, boldest and stylish outfits in celebration of Advanced Style a website created by Ari Seth Cohen.

Watch this clip for the documentary and show your uninhibited side. Stop caring about what other people think and quit taking yourself so seriously. Have some fun :)

After watching this video, I pulled out one of the loudest pieces that I own. It's a vintage piece that would make my mother cringe. Awwww. My Aunties would also laugh at this. :)

This psychedlic 60s/70s print was found at the Rose Bowl flea market in Pasadena. The black basic top is from H&M, tights are from Ayala Mall in Cebu, Philippines. I borrowed Lady C's Zara shoes. Thanks lady!
Further details from my dream vintage Rose Bowl flea market trip can be found here. I asked Colette if I could pull this off and if it was me, and she said, "YES!" On that note, I miss Colette and beautiful sunny Southern California. I hope this life lets me visit her in the UK and another ladies trip to sunny So Cal one day.

Blogger and documentarian Ari Seth Cohen even left me a message about the party on instagram. So flattered he wrote us!

Lady C and Sarah looking gorgeous.

Fierce and beautiful

Here's a round up. I wish I could have taken photos of everybody elses outfits. It'll happen next time! Another Advanced Style party will be hosted later this month. I'll post details later. Message me if you're in the Seattle area and interested.
