#MyVegasStyle (via Vegas.com)

Last month I was approached by Vegas.com to come up with a few outfits that could take you from the pool to the club at the Aria Resort & Casino in, you guessed it, Las Vegas. Vegas has always been on my list of places to visit and while I haven't gotten there yet, you can bet that with my twenties just starting up, I'm ready to pack a suitcase, grab some friends, and go.

My three looks are centered around the pool (the resort has two, including the Liquid Pool & Lounge, exclusively for those 21 and older), one of the many restaurants located at the resort, Sage, as well as Haze Nightclub.

Viva Las Vegas, Baby

I hope you're as excited about these looks as I am! Maybe I'm a bit bias, but I would totally rock all of them-- and not just because I put them together. Vegas calls for a bit more of an edgier look than I'm used to, but doesn't that just make the whole thing more fun?!

So, who's ready to go to Vegas?

The Bomber Jacket

So I was browsing around Olivia Palermo's site yesterday, and kind of completely fell in love with it all over again. Olivia Palermo has been one of my favorite style icons for quite some time now, but I always seem to forget about her style blog! I appreciate her style because she doesn't have just one signature look (i.e. preppy, classy, girly... etc.).

She's one of the few style bloggers who I feel really dresses themselves to emphasize how they're feeling that day. One day she's super girly, and the next, super edgy. How can you not appreciate that kind of fearlessness? I often have a hard time deciding what to buy in stores because on a daily basis, I wouldn't wear any of the items below, so it's hard to justify actually buying them. My goal over the next year is to build a closet that can take on all of my moods. I mean, even if you don't like Olivia Palermo, you can appreciate that her style reflects all of her, not just the parts she wants the outside world to see.

Bundle Up!

I don't know about any of you who don't reside on the east coast, but here, it is freezing. Literally. I live so far up north that I'm only an hour away from Canada, and I've never in my life experienced such cold temperatures. Thinking about getting out of my bed this morning knowing that the high for the day was at a solid zero degrees was absolute torture. And worse? The temperature sat at a brisk -15 degrees on my way to my 8am. Needless to say, if there ever was a day to take the on-campus bus, today was it.

I'm actually really surprised that I haven't caught a cold all winter. (Knock on wood...) It may just be because I refuse to believe I have any time to get sick. In reality, I don't have any time to get sick. Side note: I'm sorry this post is up so late. 10pm snuck up quickly on me last night and I had to be up at six... Homework > Sleep > Blog

Anyway, stay warm with these tips!
