    Sorry I was MIA yet again last week, I dashed off to Las Vegas to work an event and managed to get caught up in the city! This trip was so fun because it wasn’t all about partying, more so just enjoying the city. One of my friends gambles a lot so the Wynn comp’d us some nice suites. I basically spent the entire week eating room service, watching movies, going to both Encore & Wynn’s spas, gambling, sippin cocktails, eating and of course shopping. I loveee playing a Baccarat in Vegas, it’s such a safe game if you know how to play it, I won a nice bit of money ;) , so my winnings and I decided to check out the shops at Wynn and maybe buy a few new things. ;)

    First stop GUCCI. I never like sunglasses, I have such a fat head most sunglasses are never wide enough for my face. I reallllly wanted some new shiny ones so I tried on every black pair in the store until I found some I liked. I normally don’t like thin sided sunglasses, but I actually really like the ones I picked out… They remind me of Angelina Jolie for some reason. Not like I even like her but yeah, a bit different than I am used to but I guess that’s the fun in fashion pieces. Mixin it up…

    Gucci Oversized Square Sunglasses $275.00

    Next stop Louis Vuitton. I won money but ya, not enough to buy a new purse, however I did fall in love with their new bag charms when I went in the store, I had to have one! At first I thought they were just key chains, but then I discovered they look really cute on the actual bags instead. The Louis Vuitton bag charms are a cute and easy way to give your bag a bit more personality since every girl and their mom, literally, has the LV bag I have, my bag charm makes it a bit different or so I hope.

    They’re not too expensive considering they are LV, but I suppose $300 is a bit much for a bag charm. I bought it anyway ;) They have sooo many cute ones you can use as either a key chain or bag charm. I of course went with the hot pink, purple and blue heart charm. Obsessed! To view all the bag charms, go to LouisVuitton.com, select Collections, Women, Accessories, Bag Charms & Key Rings.

    Key Holder Leopard $330.00

    Mosaique Bag Charm $400.00

    Playtime Bag Charm $330.00

    Pretty Charm Chain Key Holder $445.00

    Looping Key Ring $375.00

    Overall a successful trip… I left with more money in my pocket, some cute glasses on my face, and my LV accessorized… back to loving Vegas.

    I already mentioned yachting around the San Diego bay last week, but I’m finally added all the pics. It was a surprise party for a friend that I helped plan, such a fun day, the weather was perfect. I think I found my new passion, party planning! Actually it’s always been a favorite… In my college sorority I was responsible for the outfit coordination of all our events. I was so psycho about it, I remember telling the girls they weren’t allowed to wear those awful cotton cheer shorts to sporting events, that’s how bad I was. They’re so unflattering, fat pinching thick elastic bands? Yuck. No. Psycho coordination definitely pays off the day of ;)

    All the girls were so skeptical about sporting the red lipstick but look how cute it is with everything. I know they’re happy they put it on, even if we did have to wipe our teeth every 2 seconds.

    Anyway, I had so much fun planning this surprise party, if anyone has an event they need help planning let me know. I loveeeeee putting entire events together, especially themed! Catered food, cake, DJ, decorations, themed outfits, babes, big boats, booze etc… needed it all of course. Anyway, enjoy the pics and email me if you need help planning an event, I found a new hobby :)

    How did we get soooo lucky to have such fun weekdays? On Tuesday we hit up Disneyland, and then the day after hopped on a private plane and headed to San Francisco? Love our random life, always some adventure brewing. We decided we wanted to go to San Fran for a little holiday fun, you know explore the decorations in a different city, possibly bundle up in warm clothes and site see? So off to San Fran we went!

    It was my first time ever travelling on a private plane but now that I have been introduced to that, I never want to fly commercial again! Brattiness increase of 14%… It was so nice not having to go through security, parking, lugging bags all over an airport, waiting in lines, sitting next to annoying people etc… You just pull your car up and hop on the plane and you’re off. It’s really weird because you take off at the same airport, on the same runways, right next to giant planes… Not going to lie, I was a bit scared of this smaller plane but everyone reassured us we were safe. The cocktail aboard of course helped ease our nerves.

    Once we arrived to San Fran, we checked into the Four Seasons, which we decided sucks, (well their room service does at least), changed our outfits and headed straight out to dinner. We ate at a cute little jazz restaurant, I forget the name of it, but it was super cute and cozy, with a live Jazz singer. Set the holiday mood a bit. The friends we were with like to drink cognac, so somehow we we’re convinced to drink that as well. After champagne of course, but yuck, definitely not switching to cognac anytime soon, nice try tho guys ;)

    So I went to Disneyland this week, and had the best time EVER! Everyone mustttt go to Disneyland right now considering it is Holiday decorated! The entire park is so festive and soooo cute, it made the Disneyland experience so much better. Picture Christmas trees and lights, reindeer, snow, fireworks, and holiday decorations everywhereeee, it definitely put me in the Christmas mood, and Erin and I of course felt like Disney holiday Princess’ the entire day.

    There were so many pretty things to see around the park, but my favorite part had to be Sleeping Beauty’s castle, especially at night, the entire castle was dripping with lights and even lit up pink and purple ahhhhh.

    Ahhh finally my Chargers pulled through. Not gonna lie, when thinking about the Broncos vs. Chargers I was a bit scared. The Broncos smashed Kansas City last week, and considering we lost to KC, I was a bit uneasy about the MNF match up. Luckily for me, San Diego, anddddd the Chargers, they showed us they are able to play football and beat the Broncos 35-14.

    My woman and I were fortunate enough to watch the game in person at Qualcomm. Getting there was a bit of a nightmare, traffic was insaneeeeee. I got sick of waiting in it, so I was the brat who swerved around it all and cut off the last car. Karma got me back tho, because after cutting everyone off, the rent a cop told me the lot was closed and that we had to park 23 miles away up a giant mountain, and walk down in our heels. Yea heels. I have been informed that football games are not fashion shows, but hello, life is a fashion show be quiet. I can like football and fashion ya know…

    The only good thing about traffic jams? Picture time!

    After driving to the tippy toeeee top of the mountain, we entered a residential area to try and park. We see an entire empty area but wait a second, there are cones saving the spots? Pfff yeah ummmm ok, cones don’t hold spots sorry. As we approach the parking spots, on the public street mind you, two hustling little Mexican kids flag us in as if they’re valet attendants, both with cash in their hands. I look at Erin like, wait do these kids think they’re selling us public street parking? We both get all huffy with them telling these little brats that they cant sell public parking to us and to move their cones asap. They say no and well, yeah I handled that. I told them to go find their parents and to let them know you can’t sell people the city’s property. The best part is, the couple in front of us was stupid enough to pay them…?

    Anyway, we finallllly parked and headed downhill. Half way down I realized I forgot my cell phone. Perfect. Back up the hugeeeeeeee hill I go. 32 years later we arrived at the game, we missed tailgating but somehow made it in time for the opening ceremonies.

    We had a bit of an incident before arriving to our field level seats… you see we were sitting in Plaza 56 on accident before finding out we were in the wrong seats. We fully marched into P56 and kicked some poor Asian guy out of his seat. We were like nope nope, those are our seats move. He left so confused and came back 20 min later quietly asking us if we were sureeee those were our seats. Yes. We’re sure.

    So anyone that knows me knows I have a serious rapper crush on Nelly. Nothing crazy, I am not going to sleep outside his tour bus, if he ever goes on tour again, and I don’t make signs at his shows, but I doooo thing he’s dreamy and he’s by far my most favorite rapper. I don’t know why really, I just think he does his own thing, is always happy and smiling when he performs, he actually sounds good live unlike other rappers, and his songs are super fun, they take me back to high school and cruising around in Johnny Atkinson’s lifted Explorer aklsdkaljsd. Any chance I get to see him, I go. My sorority sister Je’nell alerted me that Nelly would be at Playhouse in LA so I grabbed my brats and off to LA we dashed.

    We arrived to Compton aka Playhouse and I started getting stressed out by my surroundings. People hollarin, pushin, shovin ahhhh. As I was starting to freak out, I looked over to my left and saw Rob Kardashian. My gf lovessss him so I had to ask him for a pic like a total loser.
