Viva Las Vegas... Can You Help Me Pack?

Hi there Glam Girlies! I'm hoping all is well and that all of you Glam Girls are enjoying yet another long awaited weekend. I've been conformed to the house all day, rearranging furniture, preparing the house to be painted, and most importantly- online shopping! Now, I know what you're thinking. I committed to this spending diet in lieu of my upcoming vacation to Las Vegas, the trip I purchased as a surprise birthday gift for my boyfriend. Well, you're right. I am on a spending diet LIKE NO OTHER! It's been really killing me! My desire to shop has never been greater but I've stuck to my guns and haven't made a single impulse purchase. Now, today will be different. Since Vegas is less than two months away, it's definitely time I start making some vacay friendly packing purchases! That's why I need your help! I'm so torn in between so many different options and I need a Glam Girl like yourself to help me decide!

So, here are the basics of the trip. I figure you'll need this info in order to make some good decisions on what I should take along. First of all, the trip is scheduled for the end of December. We're going to bring in the New Year there so the entire trip will be very festive and holiday inspired. It tends to get a little chilly in Vegas during the Winter months. Especially at night. So I will need some long sleeve and short sleeve options, with plenty of just in case pieces. I plan to do lots of walking. I always do! There is so much to see and I'll be there for an entire week so you can only imagine how many activities I'll more than likely engage in. Comfort is key here, but I absolutely have to look gorgeous! So, lets get started.

For New Years Eve, which is the day we'll arrive, I'm going to need a relaxed outfit perfect for traveling as well as a casual day time fix and a NYE dress. As far as dresses go, I've got my eye on two amazingly designed dresses that I think are sure to steal the show at any New Years Eve party. The question is, which one do I get?
The first is a Celeb Boutique original, neon yellow bandage dress which features long sleeves and an exposed back zipper. This dress will run me about $200. The second is a neon yellow, asymmetrical sleeveless which is incredibly sexy and will only run me $150. You do the math, LOL. But unfortunately, for me this doesn't come down to a battle of the budgets. It's all about style. Which one would be best for a New Years Eve with the stars?

This is the asymmetrical stunning head turner. Retail $150

This is the Celeb Boutique 'Carly' as seen on JLo Retail $200

Now as for frolicking about the day with my hubby on arm, I'll definitely need some comfy cute options to slip into. My concentration is to have looks that will take me from day to night with ease, as I tend to over pack otherwise. Here are a few of the bottoms I'm watching. I'm waiting on your advice for tops.

Now we all know that Vegas can boast that typical West Coast heat at times. And regardless of the season, the sun beams are bright, hot and sticky. With that in mind, I thought about some cool and breezy options that will let my legs breathe free while allowing me to be stunningly HOT, to say the least. Rompers are perfect for the job! However, I have plenty of unworn rompers at home. So I'm only going to buy one to take along. What do you think? Both options are from my online fave store- Asos and are very similarly priced. 

Hello Africa Romper Retail $33


Computer Love Caged Romper Retail $26

We'll be having dinner out most nights and its very important that I'm wearing an outfit that is both elegant and classy enough to wear to a five star restaurant and also dazzling enough to wear to one of Vegas' hottest clubs. With that in mind, I've spotted a few options that I'm probably going to toss into my suitcase right away! But please help me narrow down the options to just three or four. Wrap dresses are a must, as they are super cute and classy but can still be sexy with just a dash of spice from a pump or such. I also want some bodycon styles, because, well, I'm obsessed with them! LOL

I'm in love with these mermaid shaped maxi skirts. And unfortunately, I've already ordered two. But for the sake of style, I'll share them anyway. Any suggestions for tops and accessories? 
I first saw this printed maxi at an online Etsy shop! I thought the price was ridiculous so I went on a search of my own! Thank the Glam Gods for Ebay =) Retail $80

I got the one on the left which is an Aztec inspired print and the floral one on the right. Retail $35

  2. Love the 1st lime green dress... Where can I find one similar to that? I have the Long sleeve one from CB, but it seems a bit too heavy for the club scene when I'll be attending my upcoming bday celebration. Lime green was the color I was going for! Great site btw :)

    1. I love the first one as well! If you're looking for that one, its available by Sonya Bee who has a boutique on BigCartel.com. Google SonyaBee.BigCartel.Com. Super cute, right? And you're right about the CB dress. I finally got the dress in the mail today and I'm not sure whether to pack it because its SOOOOOOO SUPER HEAVY! But most bandage dresses are! Hope you enjoy the Sonya Bee one =)
