goggle tans suck!

For those that follow my seastar Viv' over at Diamonds and Tulle, you probably already know where I've been... 

It was my birthday last friday and it was an awesome birthday spent in Mammoth with my big sis and bro. They even treated me to happy hour at Hyde Lounge and a resort massage, which was great after a full day of boarding. 

We spent the whole weekend up there and I got this funky tan which I like to call the "5-o-clock shadow" tan. 

{headband and top-j.crew, cords-banana republic, purse-A/X, sweater-old anthro pandemonium, necklace and ballets-f21) 

This morning I got a haircut at Aveda and boy, does it seem so short... but I know it really isn't. My hair is naturally straight so this pic was taken right out of the salon, I then curled it myself at home.

I'm so excited to say that I'm starting a month-long adventure tomorrow morning!

couples retreat

The BF and I met up with my best friends' and their bf's over this weekend in vegas. Our flight luckily wasn't that long, only an hour or less from PHX. We left right after the BF got off work. My gf's however made it there earlier- one couple from OC, CA and the other from Hou, TX.

It was a crazy weekend let me tell you. I never went to vegas with a bf before, it's always been with gf's and once with my best guy friend K. Going with the bf was soo much fun. We started off our flight meeting some Canadian guys who were super nice and decided to spread the vegas love by giving us chugs of their bottles of duty-free crown royal... not to mention, the BF and I had already drank two strong Russian Marys and Mexican Marys at the airport bar. 

What I worried about the most was us girls not having enough time to get ready for nightlife, but the boys were very patient with us and got along fine. The BF even enjoyed the sexy clubbing outfits I wore... to bad we didn't take pics of our outfits... this is what happens when the boys are around... the girls forget to take pics and we come out with 1/4th the amt of pics we'd normally take...

boring court meeting day...

I bought this fur-trimmed jacket at a thrift store two years ago and I still love it!

I call this my dalmation silk top.

Getting kinda tired of my bedding. I'm thinking about changing it up, but it would still need to go with my decor.
