Window-Shopping in Las Vegas!

One of my guilty pleasures has always been doing a lot of "window-shopping" mainly due to the fact that not always you have a glamorous budget to hit the stores and go wild on your credit card, so what is the next best thing?... browse all you want at your favorite shop! The best part of my window-shopping is definitely admiring the "shop windows" or "displays".

Last Christmas I went to Las Vegas with my family where I ran into all the luxury brands I've been obsessed about since I can remember. From the opulent boutiques that carry the most expensive objects of affection like Alexander McQueen at the Wynn , Chanel at the Bellagio or Salvatore Ferragamo at the Palazzo  to the exquisite comfort of finding all at once at Caesar's Palace Forum Shops you will definitely come back home with a good amount of debt or a dry mouth after all that drooling over the unreachable merchandise.
 I couldn't help myself stop in every single shop window. Whatever wildest shopping dream I had at that moment I fulfilled it with the pleasure of observing such displays!

LOL! that guys was having a blast while shoe-shopping.

Go Spurs Go!

Every time I have the chance to attend to a NBA game my practically non-existent sporty cheerful spirit gets a kick of adrenaline rush and automatically I start enjoying the world of a sports fanatic. I must confess that I usually want to strangle some of these fanatics while they yell at the screen when their teams are playing regardless of the sport, it annoys the heck out of me specially when you have them screaming who-knows-what sporty language right next to me, get a hold on yourself people! they can't hear you!!! Anyhow, I do transform myself just a little bit when I go to a live game. I have chosen the Spurs of San Antonio as my favorite team not only for its numerous championships and talent but also for the love of the city that once was my home.

Thanks to my friend Moc, I had the privilege to enjoy the game at one of the Terrace Suites where you not only have a great view but also have your own complimentary food and beverage service, private bathrooms, TV screens and a "living room" area which at the end it gets really hard to leave... now I don't think I will be able to enjoy the games in any other seats, except for the court side ones ;) !

And of course the Spurs won against Indiana!

"I Wish..." Wish List

I recently posted my "spring's affordable wish list" as a reminder of a humble and more realistic way to acquire some of my lovely vices but this does not mean I cannot have my imaginary harmless list of things I would love to own. To do so, what is the next best thing when you can only dream about certain material "obsessions"? well... you wish for them and create your "I wish...wish list" and hope for a significant increase in your pay check or pray for someone to become a good Samaritan and give it to you as a gift for being a great caring human being who wants to look and feel always great..for the sake of others of course! ;).

It has become a viceful habit of mine to day dream about this wish list, first I start browsing on my favorite on-line boutique looking for the current "must have" of the season but since this might give me a mini-heart attack when I look at the price tag then I switch to my Fashiolista account and pick the items that I wish I had. My mini-heart condition starts to slowly go away while I finally understand it was just a dream...

Spring's Affordable Wish List

New Season means New Wardrobe! with this in mind and with a spring break trip ahead I have already made plans for my not-so-glamorous budget, for this reason I should only focus on the basics... but I know me and I easily get distracted in the land of shopping... Anyhow, I will start with Forever21:

From Werelse for Mango Touch:

I will definitely take advantage of the sales that Saks Fifth Avenue has to offer like the Miu Miu ankle booties or the Marc by Marc Jacobs messenger bag :

And from BCBG:

Smells like Spring trends!

In case you haven't notice, spring is around the corner and with that warm feeling in mind comes the excitement of having your spring/summer wardrobe ready to be worn! Let's remember what we saw on the runways last September. The first blossoming trend is "floral"... ground breaking! Designers like Prabal Gurung, Blugirl, Altuzarra, Mary Kakrantzou, Peter Som, Erdem and Christopher Kane pulled the floral card out of their sleeve.

Erdem

Mary Kakrantzou

The next major trend obviously are "pastels" and the mixing of the pastels is crucial.

Giambattista Valli

Chanel

"Under the Sea" would be another refreshing trend seeing at the runways where Chanel, Giorgio Armani, Peter Pilotto, Louis Vuitton  and Versace where among my absolute favorites.

Chanel

Versace

Giorgio Armani

The 20's inspired look :

Etro

Gucci

"White and Fresh" was seeing in  most of the collections, this trend I will always love for those warm summer months, there is something about the white pieces that makes you look modern and chic without going over the top with the trends.

Chloe

Louis Vuitton

"Prints and more Prints"! Don't you just love them? You can spot this trend on the silky Dolce & Gabbana foulards, the sexy short Stella McCartney dresses, the animal print pieces of Michael Kors, Roberto Cavalli, Salvatore Ferragamo and Giambattista Valli. 

Salvatore Ferragamo

Stella McCartney

Roberto Cavalli

We can only dream of having this beautiful garments in our closet but the least  we can do is try to recreate this trends by spotting great amazing deals at low-cost brands. So good luck finding them and have an amazing ready-to-wear spring!
