This Week In Pics

Hola babes!  I hope you all had an amazing week, and an even better holiday yesterday!  I've been in Sin City since Sunday and this was actually the 4th year in a row that I've been in Las Vegas for the 4th of July.  Adam loves poker and plays in the World Series of Poker every summer and because of that I've been out here with him basically every summer since we met.  Last year we drove out here from Miami and lived in Vegas for 2 months.  We had a rental house and it was much more of a "normal life".  This year due to our honeymoon, and Adams work obligations, it was a significantly shorter poker trip for him and we didn't feel the need for a house so we're staying in a hotel.  There is only a few doggie friendly hotels around here and we've tried them all out!  I'll do a whole post on that subject soon!

In other news, I finally got instagram!!  Too many of my friends were making fun of me because I didn't have it so I caved in and downloaded the app!  My instagram name is andy_adler......find me on there & lets be friends ♡

My week in pics:

I saw this on Pinterest and winged my own version! Zucchini stuffed with rice & sauteed veggies, topped with marinara, mozzarella cheese and basil.  So scrump!

I always have to have fresh flowers in my house.  Its a must!

Green goddess juice from Jungle Juice in Sunny Isles.

Healthy snack!  2 diced hard boiled eggs mixed with Greek yogurt & a tiny bit of mustard, topped with arugula & spread on a gluten free matzo cracker.  Healthy take on egg salad!

Pretty rainbow before my flight to Las Vegas.

Noodles at The Bellagio is one of our favorite Asian restaurants.

My little traveling companion.  He goes everywhere with me!

To. Die. For.  20 layer chocolate peanut butter cake from Lavo. 

My hubby is soooo sweet! He read my blog this week when I talked about my love for little white dresses, and surprised me with a sexy little white dress from Herve Leger.

Gelato + shopping at The Venetian.

I did my own holiday nails, all from colors I picked up at CVS.

Yummy veggie burger from Greens & Proteins.  Well worth the trip off the strip for healthy food.

Zara off the shoulder sweater, Siwy shorts, Chloe wedges.

Patriotic bear :)

Thank you so much for checking out my blog!  I hope you have a beautiful weekend! xo

My Makeup Faves

I've had quite a few requests & emails about my makeup routine lately.  I love to watch makeup tutorials, and I follow several makeup artist blogs like this one and this one (this girl's genius!).  I can talk makeup all day long :) but I do have to warn you that I'm no expert!  I'm simply a gal who spends wayyyy to much money in Sephora has a love affair with all things beauty related.

My makeup routine is pretty low key.  During the day I'm the Queen of the 'No Makeup' look; light blush/bronzer, highlighter if needed under my eyes, mascara, and I'm out the door.  For night I'll usually wear a bit more.  I've worn Makeup Forever HD foundation for years and I love its flawless finish, and how it makes your face look in pictures.  I'll also take my eye makeup up a notch and make it a bit more dramatic.  

If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I'm in Las Vegas for the week (I caved in and came here to be with Adam).  I packed only my makeup must haves (plus a few extras because it is Vegas after all!), all of which fit snugly into my Bobbi Brown Makeup Organizer.  Here's what came along for the trip:

1) Nars blush in Torrid

2) Makeup Forever HD Invisible Cover Foundation in #155

3) Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - Hydrating

4) Nars Translucent Setting Pressed Powder

5) MAC Bronzing Powder in Matte Bronze

6) Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat in 2.5

7) Nars The Multiple in South Beach

1) Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara
2) MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre
3) Urban Decay Naked2 Palette
4) Estee Lauder Sumptous Waterproof Mascara
5) Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Duality in Matte/Lace
6) Anastasia Beverly Hills Duo Brow Powder in Taupe
7) Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Liner in Black



So ladies....what are your makeup essentials that you can't live without while on vacation?  Are any of these above products your faves as well?

 

The Cutest Summer Dress

Happy Monday ladies! So last Friday, I posted my 'This Week In Pics' and included a photo of from my friends baby shower.  Since then, I've received quite a few questions about the dress that I wore in that picture, so I thought that I'd share it with you!

The dress is by Dolce Vita and is available on ShopBop's website.  Its the absolute cutest dress for Summer, and I received a lot of compliments when I wore it.  I love the romantic crochet details and the soft teal & white combo!  

It is a little bit expensive, but I justified it by telling myself that you can never have too many LWD's (little white dresses).  I know that this will be in my closet for years to come so for me it was worth it :)  If its out of your price range, you might keep a watchful eye on it and see if it happens to go on sale.

I paired mine with a J.Crew denim jacket and wedges for a summery look:)  


Let me know if any of you end up getting it (but please don't tell me if it goes on sale....story of my life!) xo
