Viva Las Vegas

Although my days and evenings were pretty much taken up with Arbonne GTC, my hubby and I did manage a little time to visit a couple of the phenomenal hotels on the Las Vegas Strip.

I loved these 2 windows in Caesars Palace. Shopping heaven I have to say. From High Street to High End. You certainly need a little extra cash.

We had such a great day in 100 degree temperatures, ending up having lunch at Planet Hollywood in Gordon Ramsey’s BurGR bar. The best BurGR in town.

Our fantastic trip was nearing the end. Hubby surprised me with dinner at the MGM Grand at the selective French restaurant of Joel Robuchon. 3 Michelin stars, fine dining in opulent surroundings. Champagne chilling. My palette tingling at the thought of a food experience I would never forget.

Summer Style Handbags

Summer Style Handbags

At last the sun is shinning and all is well in the world once more! - Ok, so I am a glass is half full kind of girl.

When each season changes I have an overwhelming desire to treat myself to a new handbag. There is something about the smell of leather, the look of patent, the coolness of canvas. I must say that I do get very excited about accessories.

So much choice, where do we start?

Here is a little taste of my style and colour choices.

Asos Oversized Bowler Bag $81.81

Love the colour of this Bowler Bag Peachy in Pink!

Zara Die Cast Pleated Shopper $159

I adore these shopper handbags from Zara. Yellow is certainly one of my favourite summer colours this year. Is that because it reminds me of sunshine, cocktails, tropical beaches and…………dreaming?
