What Happens in Vegas...

I have to say, 2013 has been a great year, especially travel-wise. I rang in the new year a little over a week later with a vacation with friends to celebrate my best friends birthday. We started in Vegas, but ended up in Los Angeles....Here's PART I (LAS VEGAS)

We stayed at the Mandalay Bay, which comes highly recommended. The only downfall is that it's at the very end of "the strip" so if you want to be on foot the entire time, stay closer to the action. Aside from that, I can honestly say I had the time of my life. When we weren't shopping until we literally dropped (no, seriously, you try walking from the Mandalay Bay to the mall), we were eating and drinking (perks of Fat Tuesdays being right in your hotel). At night we opted for a party bus. Being chauffeured to the party is much better than having to go searching for it, besides, there's usually free drinks on the party bus! We met up at The Hard Rock Cafe and went to three different clubs. All of which were packed and crazy fun. We ended the night at a club inside of Caesar's Palace, and as you can see from above, I was "getting down with my bad self". The next morning we had the pleasure of rising early. Not to go home, but so we wouldn't miss our flight to LA! Catch more Vegas pics at TheMoniqueMichelle.com and stay tuned for PART II

The Little Black Dress

So that new Hervé Léger post over in my "Designer Trends" section has me thinking about the numerous black dresses I have in my wardrobe. You would really think black is my favorite color. It's sexy, sleek, flattering for all, and you can NEVER go wrong with a little black dress. Here's one of my favorite pics in one of my favorite basic black dresses

Now before you laugh too hard, I'd just like to point out that the glass case I'm holding onto for dear life contains the jacket of none other than the King, PRINCE, lol. If I could marry that man I would. Isn't he pretty? Anyways, I was in Vegas with friends at the time and this little dress was perfect for a night full of club hopping by way of a party bus. Surprisingly, I kept those heels on through 3 different clubs.
