{ photo diary } bright lights / sin city







{ 1/ all packing woes were resolved by a quick trip to forever21, where i stocked up on a surplus of cheap, sparkly earrings and rings //2/ saturday night in sin city //3 & 6/ friday fashion: coach necklace & bracelet; chloe blouse; F21 skirt; earrings & rings; vintage clutch; badgley mischka shoes //4/ the glamour guy commands the club in a burberry suit //5/ lady luck }

the blurriness of many of these images encapsulates the aura of las vegas pretty effectively. i suppose that is a big part of its appeal! besides being unable to make photos in the casinos, we had a great time ~ and at least one delightfully life-altering experience, which i promise to report on tomorrow...xoK

That shade of blue is stunning! I read somewhere that blue is the most universally flattering color in photos and films... or was it the most universally flattering background color? In any case, looks good!

I like GlamourGuy's outfit too :-)

Liv said...

Aaahhh... I love the Wynn! Amazing shade of blue... GlamourDuo's lookin' good!!

Does the blouse match your eyes or is that photoshopped?

by Sutton said...

What a beautiful look! And so chic compared to the general uniform of vegas go'ers...

LOVE IT!

Looks like a fabulous time was had in Sin City. Can't wait to find out what happened that isn't staying in Vegas, lol.

That blue top is makes your eyes look stunning. Not that your eyes need help in standing out, but they just pop in a beautiful way.

THE GLAMOURAI: said...

@ FASHION BUTTER: i think so! let's hope he doesn't make me take it down ;)

@ Liv: yes, the wynn is great! i would defz go back!

@ T.: ha! no photoshop there.

Ah talk about mixing high street with mass market. You are the queen of mixology Kelly. And this is the first time I have seen glamour guy, I have to say, he looks perfect in every way.

The Village Idiot said...

i've loved that skirt ever since you posted it a while ago with a pajama top- so chic!
glamour guy is a cutie- looks like you two had fun!

Isabel said...

I love that your outfit isn't outrageously revealing. It's something different, especially in August in Las Vegas. And those long earings accent your haircut and face so well. Can't wait to hear this life-altering story, haha.

gasp. is the red lined case something you travel with? i'm always trying to figure out how to pack my chunky accessories. and the spider! what is she? bracelet? i would love to see how you pack all of these lovely clothes & especially the accessories!

THE GLAMOURAI: said...

@ jameyhatley: yes, the red-lined case is my travel jewelry box (it's from verdura). it has little spots for rings, and 2 levels for storing everything else.

the spider is a brooch. she makes any outfit POP!

Great outfit! And yes, I also love to stock up on jewelry at Forever21. The best part is that it's not a big deal if you lose (or break) something. I also don't feel guilty buying in multiples there.

Looks like you had a great time. Glamour Guy looks really really sharp... but of course he would, lol!

Uh oh... is this the first time I've seen the Glamour guy? He sure is fine. Watch out, Kelly! :) Just kidding.

Great Las Vegas choices, I knew you'd kill it. F21 certainly is great for accessories in a pinch. Love the metallic skirt too!

You always seems so effortlessly put together and cool. I really admire that about your posts.
I am in agreement with most everyone else, that shade of blue looks great on you and really brings out your eyes.
Your hair is looking just a little longer I like it!
Last but not least, the GlamourGuy is a totally cutie! Glad he finally made it to the blog :)

Becca [Free Honey] said...

What a fun recap of photos. I'm hoping your life-altering experience was a quickie wedding to the glamour guy in a ceremony officiated by an Elvis impersonator. Isn't that would trips to Vegas are for. No? Just me. Ok.

w said...

holy wow. the blue look is perfection. hopefully it wasn't 104 degrees there like it was when i went a couple months ago! i wouldn't have been able to rock the satin shirt either way. <3

Peta Rudd said...

You look gorgeous! No doubt the most stylish girl in the room. I love that jeweled spider in the first image, by the way- it's fantastic!
