Ahhhhh….Clear blue skies, hot days, and a sultry night breeze…

and now a confession;

I went to Vegas again.

I know, right??!

This time it was a Girl’s Trip.  2 shows, 1 soiree, a concert, a couple of dinners, a smidgeon of shopping and a zillion laughs!  (We’re still looking for the tattoo :) )

.

..

No Honey, I swear, there’s nothing under my sleeve…asziff I would ever do that…

.

.

.

We started off with a bang at the 5th anniversary show of “LOVE” by Cirque du Soleil;

Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney thank Olivia Harrison for being the original driving force behind the magical experience that is “LOVE”
.

.

If you’ve never seen it, you need to put it on your “Must Do in Vegas List”

.

We also caught “KA” another wonderful Cirque du Soleil production

Sir Paul is in fabulous form – Do NOT miss this concert if you can possibly help it.  I can’t wait to go again! With Mr. Slim next time, of course, and hopefully our sons too :)

The band is really incredible.

 So many AWESOME SONGS!!

.

.

Who can listen to a Beatle song without a torrential flood of memories rushing back??

.

It’s all about love and friendship and the beautiful memories we create.

A little flame & fireworks just in case you’re not hot enough from dancing around like you’re 16 again!

Let me tell you, some of those Wings songs? Goodness gracious- I can feel the familiar embrace of my harrachi sandals and smell the “Lemon Go Lightly”  in my hair :)

Before the show we had a lovely dinner, fountainside at SW Steakhouse at The Wynn

And what would any self-respecting Girl’s Trip be without a little retail therapy??

.

We were told a visit to Crystals Mall was in order…

and we were not misinformed, thank you very much.

.

.

Even if you visit just to take in some of the architectural details…

Intense shoe & handbag research was conducted…

Fun retro style travel books were sourced at Louis Vuitton

..

Where the windows literally dripped with gold…

A beautiful Assouline bookshop was also discovered.

(PS. a friend bought me this book about the “La Mamounia” Hotel in Morocco and it’s absolutely divine- both the book and the hotel.

Hmmm…a Girl’s Trip to Morocco in the not too distant future, perhaps!?)

Of course one must pay a visit to Stella McCartney’s shop when you’re going to be seeing Dad later that evening…

Shoe research continued at Miu Miu…

.

And more decisions were reached at 

The place to stop in Crystals for delicious gelato and a vicious machiatto

My personal favourite; White Expresso

Finally,

after Miu Miu, Dior, Balenciaga, Stella, Louis, Prada, and YSL …

Homage to Mr. Handsome must be paid.

.

.

BTW, did I mention we went to Crystals twice??

Research in the desert can prove to be tricky.

.

Especially if you’re not wearing the appropriate field attire.

Don’t you just LOVE a great Girl’s Trip?!!
