#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?!

My Latest Obsession: Glossybox

I've gotta say, my hairdresser told me about Glossybox and I was kind of super apprehensive about it. $21/month is kind of a hefty price to pay for samples, especially if you're a college kid! On Wednesday though, I received my very first box (because obviously I caved and had to try it...). And I LOVED it! Loved. It.

Because it is so much a month though, I think I'm going to have to order one every other month or so. That whole learning to budget thing/trying to be responsible with my money is super annoying. But, it's a part of growing up right?

Anyway, I thought it'd be kind of fun to do a little review of all the products I received in my box! Mostly because they were all amazing.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream

This stuff is amazing and I am not entirely sure what I ever did without it. I switch back and forth every night between this cream, this gel from Clinique (another favorite!), and this Clean and Clear moisturizer-- depending on what I feel my skin needs the most. The normal size for the cleanser from Vichy costs $31, but I really think it's an investment I'm going to make once I'm done with the sample because it moisturizes your skin perfectly. And if you live in a cold-weather state, you know just how dry your skin can get!

beautyblender.pure

I love this thing. And I know I'm not the only one! A fair number of my friends have one or even two, and they swear by them. It's perfect for applying foundation, BB cream, or whatever base you use (just not powder foundations!) for your makeup. I'm not entirely sure I'd spend the $19.95 on one, but we'll see!

Mineral Blush (Desert Rose)

I usually don't invest in my blush, because well, it's blush... but that all might be about to change. This stuff is amazing! The blush I normally use is from Maybelline and it kind of feels like I'm sticking cake on my face every time I apply it. With this though, I apply it using my mineral brush and it feels so light and perfect. Perfect shade, perfect everything. Like all things though, too much of a good thing isn't always a good thing. A little goes a long way!

Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturizing Spray

I don't know how many of you have hard-to-tame, easily-mangled, curly hair. But I do! I usually let my hair air dry because I think too much blow drying does too much damage to my hair, but when it does air dry, watch out. It's huge. I've tried loads of products to make it dry naturally and in a pretty manner, but none have worked... until this. I want to know their secret because I sprayed this on my damp hair before I went to bed and woke up to not-so-crazy curls. I was pleasantly surprised and will most definitely be purchasing this again.

BCBGMAXAZRIA Bon Genre Eau de Parfum Spray

I was super excited about this one, mostly because I love perfumes. I just bought the Prada Candy perfume and looooveeee it. I wear it (almost) every day. We got a small sample of this perfume from BCBG and wow, now I have two favorites! I was actually torn as to which one I should wear on Friday. It smells so, so good. It's not as "sweet" as the perfume from Prada, which I like because most of my perfumes are all floral-y and girly and what not. This one's a bit more edgy, and definitely a new favorite.

Now shop away ladies! I promise you, none of these products disappoint. I'll keep you posted on what comes in my next box too!

What to Wear: New Year's Eve

I have to say, I'm kind of excited for tonight. I said yesterday New Year's Eve isn't my favorite, but I just have a really good feeling about this year I suppose! New Year's has consistently been the one holiday of the year I find myself contemplating for hours on end what to wear. My mom thinks I'm crazy because I do spend that much time each year online shopping and pondering what to wear.

And now here I am... 2014 is TONIGHT. What?! I still have no idea what I'm going to wear. But if I owned any of these fabulous clothes, I would definitely be rocking them. Especially the second look, I seriously saw that skirt and top and fell in love.

A Touch of Red

Maya / Sheer black tight / Michael antonio footwear / Hermès red clutch / FOSSIL hinged bangle / Stud earring set / Boohoo gold waist belt

I really love this dress. The belt adds a really nice touch, and keeping the jewelry simple allows for making a statement with the bright red clutch!

Good As Gold

Vero Moda crop shirt / Forever New mini skirt / BCBGMAXAZRIA leather sandals / Bobelle rose gold purse / Reeds Jewelers earrings / GUESS by Marciano id bracelet

This is my favorite outfit and I would wear it in a heartbeat for tonight! I love the skirt and I love it even more with this top. I don't really think tights would work well to cover up the pasty legs, so I have two words for you: Spray. Tan. (Or use these towelettes by Kate Somerville... They're a favorite of Lauren Conrad and they also have towelettes for your face so you don't look uneven!)

Elegance is an Attitude

Long sleeve dress / Prada pumps / Ann Taylor earrings / Long necklace / Forever New belt

This LBD is so classic and simple; sprucing it up with a belt and a statement necklace does just enough! Pair it with nude or black tights and you're good to go for a New Year's family gathering or  work party.

Alrighty ladies...

Thank you for a fabulous first month! The response to this blog has been so much more than I could have asked for. I hope you all have such an amazing time tonight! Here's to 2014!

xoxo
