Fashion Diet

I am on a fashion diet. I finally have a minute to catch up on this most amazing, whirlwind trip to Vegas a week and a half after my return back to D-town. And I am seriously on a fashion diet. Everything I can read, see, find, look for and notice in fashion - I am on it.

I've said before that I have trouble relaxing. I have spent so much time focused and stressed out that I actually don't know how to fully enjoy myself. I feel guilty if I relax because that means something isn't getting done that I need to do. But I'm starting to change that. And Vegas was a great start. And it was helped along by my meals.

Morning one began super crazy early at the Wynn with ENK. We were staying at the timewarp of the 90's, the Luxor. Do not stay there. It was a joke of a hotel. I needed a passport just to get to the elevator that only stopped on your floor every now and then. The room was bare essentials with plug-in ethernet. PS - computers built in this decade don't have ethernet slots anymore. No internet. No cell reception. Joke.

So we trekked over first thing AM to have breakfast at the Wynn. It is the best breakfast I've ever had. Peaceful, quiet, luxurious, full of fashioned elite. The coffee was great, the chaise lounge with puffy pillows definitely helped the relax factor. And PS - the best chicken apple sausage I've ever had. Total luxury. And the beginning of my fashion diet. Tunics and easy style. Resort wear at its finest. Metallic flats. It was Tory Burch heaven.

We left ENK for Magic and, let me tell you, a different vibe. Project and Magic were young and funky. LA vs the NYC of the other end of the strip. Skinny, skin tight jeans, leggings, tons and tons of denim, sky high wedges or super strappy flats. Men with skinny rolled jeans. Layers upon layers, totally updated 80s with scarves, fedoras, jewelry. Everything layered.

We were only there for 2 nights so night two we went for a nicer dinner. We ended up at Paris (after 6 restaurants were either booked solid or had a 2-hour wait) at about 9pm at Mon Ami Gabi. We had breakfast here back in October and I loved it. I love it even more now. Yummy champagne, amazing pinot noir, hangar steak with a bernaise sauce, window view overlooking the Bellagio fountain. If we weren't both about to fall over from exhaustion, it would have been so romantic.

Overall it was nice to get away for a minute, but even better to be inspired again. I know that I'm in the right industry and doing the right thing for my life. We met new vendors, opened new accounts, found what's different and new. I bought feather earrings, brought back bracelets from LA for the girls and the store, funky wallets - it was Christmas!

After all the urban finds, goodies, appointments, fun and amazement I was exhausted. I think I might finally be coming back to life again. And can't wait for the next one...
