It's Been Too Long

I've been neglecting this blog for way too long.  My last post was on Aug. 16 and a lot has happened since then.  Two MAJOR things actually.  I turned 25 (why so old?!) and purchased a townhouse with the help of my parents.  Yea, I wasn't lying when I said major huh?

I don't think I've ever been more down about turning a year older till this birthday.  Just the thought of getting older makes me want to plop down face first on my pillow and kick and scream with sadness.  (Imagine when I turn 30)  My friends and the BF planned a pretty fun and cute birthday, which was sweet of them.  It made turning 25 a little less dreadful. 

So I've been pretty busy with adjusting and trying to furnish the place and let me tell you, furniture shopping is not easy or fun.  Especially when you have a budget.  The fun part will be adding decor to give the place some character.  It's a pretty frustrating process so lately most of my free time is spent on furniture sites and pinterest.  Must get the place ready for THE HOLIDAYS!  

Here's a little update.  Mainly from my instagram, which I update more than this blog.

Lavo Brunch

Here's another Vegas post.  What made this trip so much fun was Lavo Brunch.  Since there's no pool parties at this time of year, most people don't have much to do during the day time.  Lavo came up with a brilliant idea to do a brunch where they also have a DJ playing music and you can get a table with bottles if you'd like.  This was definitely a different experience from pool parties and quite possibly even better.  It was so much fun that some of us were too tired and didn't even make it out for the nighttime event.  I had so much trouble figuring out what to wear for this.  I knew it wasn't a club so I didn't want to be too fancy but it's Vegas so I didn't want to be too dressed down.  I finally came up with an outfit that I thought was brunch/party appropriate.  I like it so much that I can't wait to wear it again.  Maybe mix it up a bit though.

IT'S A PARTY IT'S A PARTY IT'S A PARTY!

This past weekend I went to Vegas for a friend's birthday.  We stayed at Palazzo and got our two suites upgraded to two hospitality suites with our own patio.  I have to say, it was pretty awesome.  We opened the adjoining doors and it was like having one huge room to party in.  At this time of year, Vegas doesn't have the nicest sunny weather.  I'm always unsure of what to pack and like always, I pack more than I really need.  Let's just say, if I told you how much I packed, you'd think I was staying in Vegas for a week, not a weekend.  In my defense, it's nice to have options.
