Birthday in Vegas!

This past weekend I flew to Vegas to celebrate my 25th birthday! Time truly flies and I can't even fathom the fact that I'm an adult?!

We got there on Friday and the first thing we did after we took a cab to the hotel we stayed at (Palace Station) we went shopping and went to TopShop! I'm obsessed with that store and I wish we had one here but anytime I go to NYC that's my first stop! Then we walked down the strip ate lunch at Grimaldi's looked at a lot of the hotels, then that same night went to see Chippendales!!! Yes I know it's super cheesy and lame but ever since I was young I've been fascinated and always wanted to see them! We bought the cheapest tickets and ended up getting a VIP booth then moved to center stage in the 2nd row! It ruled so hard! Then after we went to Caesars Palace to go to Pure and had tickets to get in but we left them at our table at the chippendales! So mad but we were exhausted and went to bed!

The next day we slept in, ate brunch at the hotels buffet, laid out by the pool then went to the strip again and walked all the way to the famous Stratosphere! It was hot we walked forever but didn't even care we were gonna ride the crazy roller coasters! The view was insane and the rides were indescribable! One literally was a claw that spun around the side of the building! I thought I was going to die! Then after we got a huge margaritas and went back to TopShop and decided to go see Steve Aoki and Lil Jon dj at the Encore! We went to the hotel, took a disco nap and headed to Encore! Omg the place was gorgeous! It was where prince Harry went cray cray and I can see why ha then when Steve Aoki started to dj'ing after lots of champagne showers, everyone dancing and having a great time FLAVA Flav comes out! It was awesome! Steve Aoki had an inflatable boat and crowd surfed on it and FLAVA Flav flew over our heads on a boat haha

Then on Sunday we were exhausted from the night before so we walked around the strip, took a trolley and went to Mandalay Bay and went to this pool party! It was so amazing and beautiful and gorgeous!! Then we went to New York New York and rode the roller coaster! That one was not so much fun, the line took FOREVER the seat was so uncomfortable on the ride I wanted it to be over and it wasn't worth the price! Then after we went to get sushi and it wasn't very good which was kinda sad but whatever we then went to relax in the hotel and got ready for the PARTY BUS! My birthday was on Monday and to ring it in club hopping on a bus was the best bday ever!!! Started off at the Hard Rock and I met Jeffrey from the Glass House who was my fav on the show! Went dancing at Vanity, had champagne and danced and then the bus was so much fun everyone was dancing and drinking cocktails! Then we went to planet Hollywood and danced at the pussycat dolls saloon and had so much fun dancing on the stage! Then more bus fun then ended it at Caesars Palace and tried to go to Pure AGAIN and they were closing! :( so we ended the night there.

On Moday, I woke up super hungover and threw up but it's ok it was my birthday and I was in VEGAS! We checked out of our hotel and walked to In n Out! We don't have them in FL and was sad they didn't have any vegetarian options lol and literally had 3 things haha then we took the shuttle to the mall and walked down the strip into pretty much every major hotel for about 8 hours straight! It was nuts we were dead from walking but our plane didn't leave till 11pm! Haha we did stop at Caesars Palace again and dipped our achey feet in the pool and relaxed and had dinner at Serendipity and it was so cute!!! Then we did one last stop at TopShop and flew back home!

Vegas was incredible and adventurous I saw things I've never seen or ever done! It looks so different in person than tv and there really wasn't a bunch of drunk people all over like I imagined! Just had a few European men stop us and take pictures and kept trying to make us hang out with them but it was more entertaining than creepy and scary!

Here are a few random photos! I have sooo many I'm def not postin them all! I'm also super jet lagged and exhausted from all the walking and time difference with our late departure and super early arrival. We left monday night 11:45 pm Vegas time had a connecting flight and arrived to TPA at 10:45 Tuesday! So crazy!

Stressful September

I love September because well its my birthday month! I also am a lucky gal because I have alot of close friends that share September birthdays as well so it's just fun fun fun! I'm also super duper excited to be heading to Vegas to celebrate my 25th bday!

The only negative which isn't a major negative is that I tend to always take time off work in September! I started my job in September in 2007! Which I cant even believe how time flies but since its my anniversary time, thats when I get vacation pay! So I'm usually slammed at work taking in as many clients as I can, trying to prep my house and organize, packing and hanging out with all my friends and family and having fun in general and soaking it all in!

Here are a few photos from this months adventures thus far! I went to a 20's themed birthday party, my friend James was in town, one of my best friends finally turned 21, soaking in the sun with mimosas, margaritas, dancing the night away with girlfriends and
my favorite accessories of the moment!!
