louis vuitton fall campaign {takes my breath away}

Just in case you haven't had enough of this lovely campaign preview, these are my favorites. Leaving for Las Vegas and with the LV shop just a stroll away let me tell you that handbag above has been on my mind as seen here an early birthday gift perhaps?  Shoes, these beautiful shoes with bows on them, did I ever mention how much I love them? Models I love like Christy Turlington and her timeless beauty. Karen Elson has been my inspiration in the salon for many a redhead. Sometimes the simplest things make a classic hairstyle like this sleek ponytail with it's curly swoop and if you can wear it a short fringe is sharp. More of the eye catching editorial here.

Excuse me while I finish packing.. have a lovely weekend~

what happens in vegas

I can't wait to wear all my glitter and gold of the season for this quick getaway to Las Vegas. along with all of the food and nightclub choices

 I happened to find out about these exclusive Dior scents available only in Las Vegas, My favorite Dior scent is Miss Dior Cherie, as mentioned here, What is your favorite fragrance of the season?

I had a client in the salon that uses nothing else in her hair but Kiehls and it looked great (even better after her haircut with me) My skin could sure use some of the Soy Honey Whipped Body Butter 

I first heard about Anastasia in Beverly Hills known for her exclusive stencil for brows she has also set up shop in Vegas

Of course I'll be wearing lashes galore!

a lovely flat is looking more and more appealing for fall

I'm sure by the end of the night I'll be kicking off my fabulous 5" high heels, for some practical flats like

 these that may not be so sexy but will sure will save my feet just in time to get to the spa. Being the Beautician I am I couldn't help but check out the hair aspect of Las Vegas, always intrigued by barber shops as seen here.There are quite a few barber shops in Las Vegas. I couldn't help but wonder if they give lap dances with that buzz cut, after all it is sin city.

holiday home {links}

I finally hung my holiday wreath on my door, this one from here

I have my tree up complete with lights and cards hanging up too!

recycling is a holiday must I was pleasantly surprised at how many supplies I have from years past

Sweet scent of the season love my chocolate a recipe just like abuelita's

A welcome home awaits me outside the door with my holiday wreath and inside with the best greeting ever from my furry friends, their reward are these cookies that I have been baking. Love the warmth of  home, scented, with candles all glow and the presence of Christmas. How is your holiday home?

Unforgettable.. the dress {beautiful shoes and big hair}

I mentioned here how much my preference for a wedding dress has changed, less is more.

Peter Fox has such lovely vintage style shoes, I bought some for my own wedding

an impromptu shot of those bridal shoes, any idea which ones?.

 The grandiose affair would be the hair, the higher the hair the closer to heaven

In the midst of showcasing the beautiful things in my closet as inspired here, it helped me to not only to purge but to open up those shoe boxes and decide which ones should be worn and which should be shared. Material things are replaceable. It's rather cathartic, once I get started I don't even want to replace with anything other than things I love.
