Vegas Style Challenge: Kendra's Night Out

I was so excited when travel expert Kendra Thorton asked me to participate in her Las Vegas style challenge.

I've been to Las Vegas a handful of times, and each time is different. Although, on my last trip, I decided I was going to break up with Vegas. However, this challenge made me realize, there really is something for everyone in Las Vegas. So I'm open to another trip to Sin City, although a little more toned down and along the lines of the trip Kendra is planning :)

Kendra is a mom of of three, who is planning a much needed getaway to Las Vegas with her girlfriends. One thing she is most looking forward to is visiting the Bellagio Hotel and Casino to see the famous fountain, gardens, and blown glass art display. I remember being awestruck by the gardens in the lobby, and I know she will love it also! They are also planning to either have dinner or brunch at the Jasmine restaurant in the Bellagio, which offers an amazing view of the fountains. Sounds pretty spectacular, if you ask me.

In addition to their plans at the Bellagio Hotel, they may see a show, do some shopping, and spend some time in the casino's of course. I decided to put together a variety of inspiration looks that will take her from the airport, all the way to Sunday brunch.

The first look I put together will take Kendra from the airport to the Vegas Strip. It's not only comfortable, but fashionable as well. Perfect for walking the strip and taking in the sights. And of course, stopping in for a cocktail and lunch along the way. 

After exploring the strip for the afternoon, I'm sure Kendra and her friends will want to come back to their rooms and freshen up for the evening. Especially since they're planning on going to a nice dinner and possibly a show like Cirque du Soleil! 

I thought that a simple black jumper would be the perfect base for a sexy outfit, that is still classy and appropriate for a mother of three. I love all the jumpers I've seen in stores lately, I think they are so sexy and chic. I think a simple strappy sandal and minimal gold jewelry is the best compliment to a jumper since it's a statement in itself. And paired with a fun, jeweled clutch and bold lip color. This look is not only stylish, but comfortable for walking around after dinner & a show. 

The last look I put together is for brunch Sunday morning. I really hope Kendra and her friends decide to do Jasmine's Sunday Fountain Brunch. What a wonderful setting to enjoy brunch! Since it's at the Bellagio in one of the more formal restaurants, I did a classic and feminine look. I love the peplum top paired with a floral skirt pencil skirt. This spring I really love coral lipstick, and I think it pairs perfectly with this feminine outfit.

Below, I've included Kendra's plan for her weekend away in Las Vegas. Based on her travel plans, do you think I've selected appropriate looks for her trip?

Fashionista: Las Vegas Style!

When I started planning my trip to Las Vegas, I did not give a lot of thought to what I might wear. However, now that I am leaving in just a couple of weeks to meet my friends in Vegas for some relaxation and fun, I am beginning to panic that I might not have the right clothes. As a mother of three, I do not usually spend a lot of time keeping up with the latest trends in fashion. For this reason, I have created the Kendra Fashion Challenge to get your help picking out some amazing outfits for my upcoming trip. One of the activities I am most looking forward to is a visit to the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. This stylish and elegant hotel is known for its famous fountain show that people line up along the strip to see.

While I am sure we will take some time out to watch the fountain show at the Bellagio, our intended destination is the fine dining restaurant, Jasmine. We are excited for the opportunity to breath in the exotics scents of Cantonese, Szechwan, and Hunan cuisines.  Jasmine is decorated with replicated Chinese art and features Nouvelle Hong Kong Cuisine. While we are planning to have diner there, we have the option of attending the Sunday Fountains Brunch in the Jasmine as an exciting option. The Jasmine’s Sunday brunch features several action stations where we can get food made to our taste. Also, the dessert selection is sure to be scrumptious and appealing, including a chocolate fondue. Whether we decide to do an elegant dinner or Sunday brunch, we will have an amazing view of the famous Bellagio fountains.

Now, you see why I am asking for your help with the latest fashion tips. Las Vegas might be the city where what happens there stays there but I do not want to be a fashion faux pas! This is a city with its own vibe and fashion sense.  I know that any evening out will be more enjoyable if I look and feel my best. Whether we are feeding quarters to a slot machine or seeing a glamorous show at one of the best casinos on the strip, I want to be complimented on my outfit and sense of style.  Having a fine dining experience at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino will be the highlight of our trip, so my outfit has to be just as special.
