We made the best of the weekend of course tho, we actually stayed in Friday night sleepy from travelling, but then spent the following Saturday shopping and exploring the bars. I swear if I day drink, I can nottttt drink at night but somehow I rallied and made it til I thiiiiink 12:30am? My friends tell me I have “Grandma Disease” haha I want to go to sleep every night by 12. Oh well, nothing good can possibly come from being out so late or drinking that much so I like going home early. I am obsessed with washing my face and putting on night creams, I actually get excited to go home and wash off my clown face. Anyway…

We went to some club called PCL it was cool, similar to a Sidebar type of place I guess… my girlfriend knew the owner’s who were super nice and made sure we had a fun night. I finally saw the Dom P glowing bottle, I have no idea when these came out, but I love the bottle it’s so bright and fun!

Sunday we slept in and decided to head home semi early around 2, we ate 58 fattening meals per usual and I paid for it in the gym just now. Overall a quick but fun weekend, Scottsdale is cool but eh not really worth going to unless you have a real reason to

A few of you asked about my dress in the pictures, it’s from Bebe of course, my go to dress store in case of an emergency. I packed a suitcase fulllllllll of clothes to last me a month and didn’t even open it. I am over every piece of clothing I own I bought this dress on a whim at the mall in Scottsdale, it’s ok, nothing super fab but it worked, I guess. I took the belt off and used one of my own, wasn’t feeling the thin blue one it came with.

Nautical Stripe Belted Dress $119.00

The red lipstick I wore literally lasted all night. It’s Revlon Colorstay in “Forever Scarlet“. I prepped my lip with the red lip stain, re-coated it with a regular Revlon red lipstick “Really Red” and then finished it off with the ColorStay clear coat. I woke up the next morning with perfectly plump, still verrrrry red lips.

The best part of Arizona is the desert scenery, so pretty, especially during sunset of course.

Until the next adventure… xoxo

Long story short, they are the worst airline EVER, ever, everrrrrr and I will never fly with them again. Not worth the saved two cents. Bad/clueless/missing staff, 2 hour delayed flight, strict baggage rules and charges if you go 1 lb over, the seats……. actually……… the entire plane, looked like it was from an airplane junkyard, worn down pleather, andddd they changed the gate on us 4 times! I also told one lady she must have no brain when she told me she didn’t know where our plane was and she replied, “Neither do you.” Oh perfect… apparently their cheap prices leave no extra money to properly train their staff on how to handle aggressive travelers like me. They will not be around much longer, the entire plane was furious, literally everyone yelling. Anyway, moving on…

And now for what you really want to know about… my outfit. Who would have guessed this little gold dress would cause such a stir, especially considering it was from Foreign Exchange at Fashion Valley. The dress is cool and all but to be honest, the necklace is what made it cute to me. Without the bling necklace this dress was super blah.

LEATHER METALLIC CUTOUT DRESS $69.00

The necklace I wore is the “Amanda” necklace by Shop Belina. My favoriteee necklace, it makes everything cuter.

Amanda Necklace- $32.00

The shoes were Bebe and they matched the gold perfectly.

Mila Cutout Leather Sandal $160.00

Now on sale for $118.00!

And when all 3 are combined… the finish product

Overall it was a really fun weekend. We stayed at my favoriteee hotel ever, The Cosmopolitan. On Friday night we went to Marquee and then Saturday night visited my good friend Moose who runs the entertainment at Haze to see Neyo perform. We sipped champagne right next to his table all night and then watched him perform, he’s sooo good live. I am going back next month for sure to see Nelly at the same place, can’t wait! If you stay at Cosmo I do have to insist you order their pizza from room service. They have a pizzeria inside the hotel and it was for sure the best pizza I’ve ever had. We ate it both nights for dinner and breakfast total pigs.

Last week my precious Jetta finally gave out on me and I was faced with a big decision… to fix or not to fix the Jetta. My Jetta had the most expensive transmission they made that year so it would be 5k to repair. Considering I’ve had the car 6 years I decided that 5k would be better invested in a new, more reliable car. I debated and debated on what to do, the last thing I wanted to do was make an irrational, impulsive decision… I spent the week borrowing everyone’s cars, annoying my entire family and finally decided to solve the problem, I was going to get a new car if I could find a good deal on one I loved.

My messy situation turned into an amazing situation, as I was reminded yet again, that when you refuse to settle for less, you eventually find exactly what you want. Just like I found with my current job, I found the exact car I wanted after holding off on a few previous finds. I found several cars that were cute but none were exactly what I wanted. Grey interior, different wheels, missing certain features, etc… It’s also crazy how life with throw obsticles in your way to prevent you from these wrong choices, and at the time you don’t understand why life is being so so hard on you, but if you just listen to the warning signs, you will later learn why they were there. Something better was on it’s way.

I hadn’t been to Vegas for over a month now, so I decided to head out there for a night, strictly for fun. I love Vegas so much during Christmas time because all the hotels are decorated so pretty. We stayed at the Wynn, my fave, and it was of course fully decked out. Trees, lights, decorations, loveeee. Even the water show at SW was Christmas themed. We stayed in a really amazing Fairway Villa that over looked the entire Wynn golf course. Definitely have to stay in it if you love golf.

One of my all time favorite places to go for dinner and drinks in Vegas is MIX At THE Hotel. Talk about amazing. This place is a secret gem more people don’t even know exists. One of the best views of Vegas as it sits on the very top of THE Hotel and overlooks all of Vegas. Their food is delicioussssssss and if you don’t want dinner, they have an entire bar area and lounge that is amazing as well. You can sit outside and see the view, they even give you blankets and have heaters out there to make sure you’re never cold… it’s perfect!

After one night of fun in Vegas I came home, packed my bag for NYC and left the next Monday at 6am. It’s weird flying coast to coast in the same day because you leave early in the morning from San Diego but then arrive when it’s dark in NYC. We landed at around 5pm but because of the time zone, it was already dusk.

NYC was strictly a business trip, but we don’t work at night so we did get a bit of personal time in the evenings. The weather was super weird there right now. Rainy the first day, warm the next day, but then freeeeeeeezing the day after. Of course it ran the day I had a million errands to do via foot but it’s ok, I love the rain.

The purpose of the NYC business trip was to attend FFANY, a footwear event that happens a few times a year and to plan an Industry Spring Preview party to display our upcoming shoes. I always wondered at what point stores viewed the products and how the actual purchasing process worked, so this event showed me just that, it’s really interesting to see how the entire process works, I learned so much more about the footwear industry after this event.

Basically, store buyers from all over attend this event to view each company’s shoes. This FFANY was for Spring 2012 so the fashion industry is always getting an early start. We have a huge, fabulous show room on Ave. of the Americas that we share with Beyonce’s Dereon so all the buyers come to our showroom to view 3 of our lines. They schedule appointments and meet with our reps to place their orders. I thought it would be helpful to have live models in styled outfits to match the shoes in the showroom, as well as a Spring Preview party at a local venue so that is what I worked on while in NYC. It was nice to invite buyers and fans out to view the products, and it also was a nice way for us to say thank you to everyone that supports us. We had a hosted bar and appetizers, everyone had fun I know that for sure The event was held at The Royalton Hotel, another really cool venue to check out if you’re in the Time Square area. Very cozy with fireplaces, we hung out there all night.

Here is a picture of Valerie & I at the party.

After the party, we continued the event the following day in our showroom. I love working out of our showroom because you never know who you’ll meet or run into. Steve Madden, Jessica Simpson, Bebe, Joe’s Jeans, Chinese Laundry, Vince Camuto… just a few of the major lines we share a building with. I am so jealous because Valerie, the girl I went out there with, actually saw Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen in the elevators. Sooo jealous she saw them and I didn’t :/ Steve Madden is always spotted in the building, so it’s just a dream come true for any girl who loves shoes to be able to work around such amazing companies. It too was decorated for the Holiday’s so yeah… great place to work.

The entire time I was working I just think about how lucky I am to truly do something I would do for free. I am obsessed with fashion, shoes especially, event planning etc… so to have this job has been so beyond amazing. I also am lucky to work with such awesome people that make work trips a total blast. At night Valerie and I would run all over town, we’re like night and day but somehow it works We have a lot of fun together.

Overall the trip was a success, both work wise and fun wise… we hit up dive bars one night, ate pizza and sprinkle cookies pretty much all day, made sure to have dinner at TAO one night and even checked out 1OAK Nightclub and LAVO. We would work all day long and then play all night long so to say I’m tired is an understatement. I am looking forward to my bed and sleeping the next few days. Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving and I will be back next Monday with some new posts! xoxoo

September was a perfect time to go, the city was alive but not too crowded. We stayed at The ME Hotel, a Cabo favorite. I love The ME Hotel because it has a super fun pool inside, the infamous Nikki Beach, and it’s the perfect balance of luxury meets comfort. I don’t like when hotels are too fancy, I like being able to kick up my feel and relax, plus it’s pretty reasonably priced. The entire hotel is beeeeautiful, exactly how you’d expect a Cabo hotel to be. Beach balconies, white sheer sheets blowing in the wind, all white furniture, lotsa sand, etc… And our room? Ssssuper cool, fully equip with an outdoor jacuzzi and shower, andddd a balcony that looked straight out to the ocean. Never wanted to leave!

I spent the weekend laying out in the sun, drinking delicious mojitos and thennnn throwing up. Yeaaah, on Saturday night I got a super bad case of food poisoning. DON’T Drink the WATER or eat anything not boiled while in Mexico. I ate tortilla soup though, so I am not sure what in that made me sick? It was no fun but on the brighter side, I fit into my old jeans now? Sad it took me physically being ill to make stop eating like a pig, but hey… I’ll take it. Even with food poisoning I still had a blast.

So, heading to Cabo? My 2 favorite hotels to consider are:

* ME Hotel. Amazing spa, fun pool area “Nikki Beach”, walking distance into town and beaches, a resort so clean and safe. Oh and affordable too! They had a promo on basic rooms right now for only $200 bucks! Not bad.

* The One & Only. Anyone who knows Cabo knows this place is the best resort to stay at. All the celebs frequent this place. I have yet to stay here but have visited and it’s amazing if it fits in your budget.

After Cabo, I again came home, worked a bit and then dashed back off to Vegas for the Mayweather Ortiz fight at MGM. It was Mexican Independence Day so who better to roll with than my two of my favorite Latina’s. We stayed at MGM which was fun because we got to see all the crazy fighters. Mike Tyson was in the lobby signing autographs when I arrived, he’s scary but cool from far away where I’m safe.

On Saturday we hit up Wet Republic all to find out George Straight likes Vegas pool parties? Was super funny meeting him, we didn’t even believe it was really him at first, but yep, sure was. We also met some golfer Anthony Kim, he was super cool as well. Gotta love Vegas!

My friends were staying at Cosmo so after the MGM and Cosmo pool, we checked their room out. The coolest rooms in Vegas are for sureeeee at Cosmopolitan Hotel. They had a suite on the pool level and wow are they fab. 3 stories with a jacuzzi on top and the bottom floor opens up right into Marquee Day Club pool area! It’s safe to say I am obsessed with the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Anyone with a pink chandelier wins in my opinion.

Look at this view from one of the other rooms our friends had!!!? So awesome, it overlooked the water show. We hung out there for a bit, pigged out on room service, drank pink champagne and then headed back to MGM to get ready for the night.

We ended up going out to XS & Marquee, my two favorite places, but I had enough of Vegas after that night and headed straight to the airport at 4am. I just wanted out of there and needed my own bed. I flew out at 6am and was home cozy and safe by 8. Wild few weeks for sure but hey, gotta live it up while I still can! No boyfriend =’s no husband=s no babies=s no real commitments, soooooo jet setting will be my boyfriend until I find someone worthy of slowing down for

NO one has boob jobs in Miami, honestly no one! Ok, maybe a few here and there, but more girls have fake butts there than boobs for sure. Yes girls actually get fake butts andddddd talk about it just like they got a boob job. The first story I heard I was shocked… I guess they get these shots that plump it up or something crazy?

Anyway, I stayed with some super pretty, nice girls and even though I wasn’t Miami enough for Miami, I still had the best time. The girls we stayed with model out there so they made sure we had fabulous plans every night. I think I met every B list rapper possible, which was cool but not cool because for every B list rapper there is in Miami, there are 8,000 hungry girls tryin to holler at them. Not safe to be around them, seriously. One night we had a table with Fabulous and I had to leave because I felt myself getting closed in on by the ugly groupies.

I like meeting rappers because well, I like rap, but I’m not trying to go home with them and deffff not trying to fight to stay around them. These chicks literally yell, scream, wave, wink, blow kisses, chase, crawl, fight etc. to get close to these guys. It’s wild. Member that story about that lady that died in Walmart because she was trampled to death by crazy shoppers? Yes, that’s how it felt. I ran for my life and left the club, they’re that scary.

Anyway, we checked out a lot of clubs, Liv for Avicii and Kaskade… J.C. Chasez was at our table both nights, we didn’t even realize it until half way through the night, andddd one of the hot werwolves from the Playboy party I worked was with him. Small world. We chatted for a bit and then headed off to Dream, Play and Mansion over the next few nights. I’m not super into house so Maria and I ventured off on our own a lot to different clubs.

During the day we shopped a lot, walked down Collins Street, stopped into the Miami Wet Willes for a drink and played on the beach. So much going on, so many people walking around. We of course found the Kardashian’s Miami DASH store, took a picture and all. The store has overpriced crap so we did no shopping there. My favorite was probably the beach. Their beaches are soooo much prettier than San Diego’s crap beaches. They have white sand, warm water and bright blue water, and get this, are clean! No trash, no bums. no beer cans…

We also hit up The Gansevoort Hotel’s pool party one day. It’s a lot like SE Hotel pool in San Diego, but with a wayyy more amazing view. It is a great pool party to go to if you are looking for one. Decent crowd, not too wild and amazing decor. You had to be on the list but we somehow managed to get our tails in.

The last night we were there we had dinner at some Sushi place with the rapper Jeremiah. He was too kewl and texting the entire time, but it was fine with us because there was unlimited sushi and cocktails. Oh oh I forgot to mention that we met Trey Songs the first night at Mansion! He was very nice and gave us all big hugs. That was probably the highlight of the trip

Anyway, overall a super, superrrrr fun trip, so glad I went! If you’re heading to Miami anytime soon, some things to pack… Maxi dresses, aviators, a REAL GOOD TAN, long pretty hair (Yes pack some hair hahah), big earrings, tight clothing, tight dresses, short shirts, gladiator sandals/heels for day, sexy stilettos for night, a hair ratter, hairspray, lipgloss and a camera. Don’t forget the camera because there are too many crazy, scandalous things going on, you’ll want pics.

This place had everything, 3 floors, a panoramic ocean view, an elevator, and even it’s own private access to Black’s Beach. The entire property was covered in Aston Martin cars, so it was cool to see their latest. Ever since Rick Ross came out with Aston Martin Music, all I wanna do is be a passenger in his Aston Martin, top down, cruisin.

As you can see, this house is insane, but I’d never want to live in it, it’s wayyyy too big and scary. Not “home” like at all, but an amazing house for a party of course. The house has been on the market for years now, Aston Martin just rented it out for the night. I suppose asking $32 million isn’t working so well for them. I hear someone offered them $6 million but hey declined that. The house was cool and all, but if I was a billionaire, the most I’d ever pay for it was maybbbeee 3-5 million.

The people at the party were pretty much as insane as the house. Rude times 8,231. Everyone thought they were sooo kewl because they worked for Aston Martin, and they were all mad we were 30 years younger than them. Whatever though, we of course took advantage of the open bar, the cool cars, the yummy treats and then promptly peaced out to Belo to see Keri Hilson perform. Belo is super lame, but Keri is super fab so we took the risk. The night turned out to be pretty fun… We had a table so we all had a blast taking crazy pics, did the pretty girl rock with Keri, got to meet her after her performance and then called it a night.

She is sooo cute and we’re sooo not.

Another successful Thursday! This weekend… MIAMI! Lovin life.

Anyway, so what trends did I discover? Well, nothing too new… like I mentioned before, shoe wise, we will continue to see chunky 70′s inspired shoes all the way into Spring 2012, and for this Fall? There will be lotsss of glitz and glam in shoes, and as always boots are where it’s at!

I saw a few celebs, no one super cool though. Brody Jenner and his rocker girlfriend Avril Lavigne were there, and of course the Simmons sisters considering they own a shoe company. We went out one night and saw Guuuucccci Mane, I love him, and Angel from Holly’s World and I think that’s about it.

I was lucky to have tons of girlfriends in town also working the show, so I got to work and play! I love Vegas, always so much fun. We stayed at Aria a few nights and then headed off to Wynn. Both amazing hotels. My friend got us a super nice Salon Suite at Wynn so we lived like Princess’ for a few nights. Lots of yummy room service, in room massages, champagne and a view of the Treasure Island pirate show each night. One night we stayed in and just enjoyed the room, had a slumber party on the couches and watched movies.

Overall… a fabulous trip, got to check out tons of cute new trends, learned that Hello Kitty now has high heels, watched the Chargers beat the Cowboys in a cabana eating nachos, and spent QT with my faves. Life is good.

The sun ruined this pic. It was sooo bright and hot there, over 100 every day.

Places we went out at:

* Saturday- TAO & XS

* Sunday- Encore Beach Club day, Bank at night

* Monday- Aria pool to relax, Marquee at night

Enjoy the pics!

I had the entire MTV Teen Wolf cast at my table full of babes, and all I said to them was what can I get you to drink? I am a loser and need to break out of this loser shell. The babe in purple? I am an idiot.

Pretty sure instead of flirting, all I could muster up was that I hadn’t seen Teen Wolf was and that I wasn’t into vampire shows. They of course corrected me and told me it was about werewolves and not vampires. Ya whoops. Teen WOLF. 

Anyway, I am so over missing out on cute guys especially since they are sparse. Imagine how much further in life I could go if I conquered flirting, how do I learn how to flirt!? Someone teach me quick.

Me and my gang decided to set sail on over to Catalina for the 4th of July and of course didn’t leave home without our tans and watches. We took off from the LA area and sailed straight out to Catalina for a little fun in the sun girl time.

First stop, boat bar. $11 dollars later… my 1inch cocktail did nothing, so don’t bother with the bar unless you plan on spending over $40 bucks for even the slightest buzz. The boat ride over is pretty… very scenic, however a bit chilly, so bring a sweater.

After the 55 minute boat ride we pulled up to shore to see what seemed to be a mini Cabo. We were soooo excited to get the day started, however the mini Cabo first impression was a GIANT illusion. This is NOT a party town. Picture golf carts, families, houses and karaoke bars. Not bad if you wanted to hang out alone or with old people, wasn’t quite the scene we anticipated.

We made the mistake of thinking we would be able to last an entire night there and actually cut the trip shorter than planned. No one, I repeat no oneeeeee, is under 75 there, and everyone was sooooo mean to us, we couldn’t even get 18 year olds to hang out with us. I think our high heels scared everyone away.

Actually, I lied, this guy wanted to hang out with us, but only because he had been drinking the entire day and couldn’t see straight. Probably the best bet for us, someone who can’t really see or hear our abuse. We took the drinks he bought us, snapped a few pics and videos, and sent him packin back to his old man pack.

Overall it was a fun trip simply because it was so ridiculous, however I won’t be heading back to Catalina anytime soon. Definitelyyy a boyfriend girlfriend/ married couple/ family trip. Next time we’ll head straiiiight for Cabo , a guaranteed good time.
