A few weeks ago I went to Vegas for a weekend of shopping, sunning and eating with two girlfriends. We were celebrating Marti's upcoming wedding and it was the perfect girl's getaway. We stayed at the Bellagio and spent lots of quality time at the pool. When we had taken in all the sun we could manage we were off to Fashion Show Mall, the shops at the new Palazzo, or The Forum Shops. We also did our fair share of eating and drinking. As usual, our dinner at Tao did not disappoint!
Because we visited so many shops I made a huge mental list of what I need for my summer wardrobe. Now, you would think that since it's already almost the end of June I would have my summer wardrobe, but since we didn't have a day over 60 degrees until 2 weeks ago, I am a little behind in my shopping. That, combined with the fact that I barely have a free second to spare would be yet another reason I am still missing some summer "must haves." A few items I decided simply cannot wait:
- A strapless swim suit so that I can avoid having weird tan lines at Marti's wedding (hwich should be arriving from Nordstrom any day)
- A new pair of seven "Ginger" jeans (again, on their way from Nordstrom). I wear my Gingers quite often and I think I need at least two pairs in my wardrobe. I love the dark, wide leg and have yet to find another pair I like as much.
- A black cotton maxi dress
- A summer-weight gauze-y scarf
- A black tube top for girls nights out (thank you forever 21)
- A black tank with sequins (complements of Old Navy)
- A gray cardigan (cute, with a bow enclosure, because my office is FREEZING - from Gap)
Oh, and I am thrilled to report that Forever 21 and Sephora have finally opened! I haven't visited either store yet. The reports from my girlfriends are that both stores are very crowded so I am giving them a few weeks. I need the amateur shoppers some time before an expert such as myself goes in! I like to shop early in the day, on a week day, when the crowds are smaller so I have room to browse.
