Dreams of Vegas

So...Seth an I never got to go on a honeymoon last year due to his layoff. We decided then that for our 1 year anniversary that we would go somewhere to celebrate. We tossed around many ideas but we finally decided on

We got an amazing deal, so we will be staying at Circus, Circus for 6 nights. With that and airfare out and back we payed about $955.00. And you just can't beat that. We chose to pay less for a hotel, because we don't figure we will be in it much, and it lets us afford to see a couple of shows and do some of the attractions. 

We know we would like to see a Cirque show while we are out there, probably Ka. We also found out the Bodies exhibit will be showing while we are out there, so we would like to do that since we missed it while it was in Columbus. We also want to ride some of the roller coasters, like the one on NY, NY. 

I would also like to do the zip line that takes you under Fremont St, but we shall see. 

I am beyond excited though. It has been years since I took a real vacation, and I haven't flown since I was 6 or 7. I am starting to amass a collection of little black dresses to wear while I am out there. Seth thinks I am utterly insane. I know I should buy them as I find them though, so he can deal. My mom bought me a fabulous one the other day too, lol. The one she got me looks like this.  
H&M
It looks gorgeous on, and I cannot wait to wear it. I need a couple of pairs of fabulous shoes to go with it now. 

I am beyond excited for this. I can't wait til October.

There used to be a re-creation of King Tutankhamen's tomb in the basement of the Luxor (that's the pyramid-shaped hotel). Worth seeing if it's still there, and if not, the architecture itself is interesting. I've told by many people that the best thing to do in Las Vegas is to leave it; that is, to rent a car and drive out to the desert for a day.

Make sure that all the fabulous shoes you get for the fantastic black dresses are nice and comfy. Vegas is never as fun if you don't get to walk and walk the strip (or maybe that's just me lol)

And I'm with Wulf on the drive to the desert if you can, especially at night... nothing like it.

I can't wait to see all the pics!

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho

Betsy's Gypsy Dreams

Image
When I was a little girl I would sit on my front porch reading and dreaming that the gypsies would come to take me away. I loved the music, dancing, color and whimsy of the gypsy. Their spirit spoke of freedom that my mid-western soul could not help but envy. I wanted to run away and find my place among those beautiful people.  And as an adult I still do. I love to dress in what I think of a a gypsy style. For my gypsy dreams post I am going to share clothes and accessories with a gypsy flair that I love, want or covet completely. found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here found here I hope you can use these inspirations to create your own gypsy look. For added flair make sure your skirt has bells or wear a bell anklet. Bring a little gypsy into the everyday.  Blessings.
