Simple Black Lace

We spent last weekend in Vegas, where the high for the day topped off at a toasty 117 degrees.  I felt like a chocolate chip cookie being baked in a hot oven!  And while beads of sweat formed on my forehead as soon as I stepped outside, the casinos and hotels were kept cool with A/C's on full blast.  Since I tend to feel cold when others are warm, I dragged along a blazer or cardigan everywhere I went.

It was a quick family trip...made even quicker as our flight out was at first delayed, then outright canceled.  We spent Friday night waiting in the airport for hours, eventually renting a car to drive ourselves from LA to Vegas.  While we were supposed to land around 7:30 pm, we ended up settling into our hotel room around 2 am.  Never again will I choose an airline other than Southwest to get to Vegas!  All travel hiccups aside, we still had a great time.  I wore this super easy dress to dinner at Michael Mina and one of the many Cirque du Soleil shows, Zarkana.  Plus, I couldn't help adding a little glitz with my shoes.
