In the spirit of all things glitzy & glamorous I thought I would do a very different post to what I normally do! In an ode to the bright lights of VIVA LAS VEGAS, I have put together the ultimate, classic outfit that I would adorn myself in for a night on the razzle in Sin City!
Firstly, THAT DRESS?! That beautiful gold embellished dress oozes class and sophistication. I am loving gold glitter at the moment (you will soon see in my wedding posts!!) and at £64.99 I could not find a better statement than that sexy, long, flowing, silhouette dress. Quite simply, stunning!
To adorn the dress with too much glitz would be crazy so you will see that I have opted for nudes for both the envelope style clutch and slingback heels. Both, very understated so it doesn’t take the dazzle away from the dress. Both priced at £14.99 they are an absolute steal in my eyes!
The earrings, ahhhh the earrings. I do not have pierced ears but if I were these sparkly beauties would be bestowed on my lobes. Priced at £8.99 I think these will add that final touch of American glamour that we are trying to achieve here!
All these individual pieces (and more!) will be found at Quiz Clothing
So all in all, how would you style yourself for a night around Las Vegas in all those amazing casinos and star studded theatre shows? I’d love to hear from you.
It has come to my attention that alot of people like this so called “Video Blogging” I myself have only put pen to paper (or should I say, finger to keyboard!) and have wrote the written word.
My husband to be, James has gone & bought a very fancy new laptop which has a built in web cam. So curiosity has killed the cat & I am thinking of all the wonderful techy things I can do with it & vblogging (as I have so frequently seen it referred to!) is possibly my first avenue.
With my experience of radio training I am not one to shy away from a mic but I have to say, my face in front of a camera is enough to make you run for the hills! So my question to my lovely followed & blogging friends is… Is it worth it & do you get a lot out of it. Whilst I know my blog is not the MOST established blog out there but I do hope I reach a wide audience with lots of different posts instead of pigeon holing myself down one route.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, what would you like to see/hear & how often? I’m hoping to have a play round with it next week without the beady eyes & ears of my partner, as I might get “stage fright” – I am thinking first off a nice OOTD post? I’d love to hear from you all.
2013 you have most definitely been an interesting one. I’ve seen quite a lot of things this year, some beautiful & some not so kind. I can certainly say (as cliché as it may sound) one helluva rollercoaster.
January is always a tough one for me, I work every hour god sends and work full weekends to keep on top of the travelling wanderlusters. It is always our busiest time of the year for holiday bookings and this year was no exception. January feels a lifetime ago now that this year is nearly over & done with. Nothing exciting ever happens except for our annual meal out for my Mama’s birthday which was always a lovely affair. This year was no exception & we enjoyed a meal at our favourite pub www.thefoxandhoundswalton.com where the food is always delicious. If you are in the area I highly recommend it, so much so, we have asked them to do the catering for our impending wedding day! We also booked our wedding day with the Church & we couldn’t have been happier that everything was set in stone for what will be our most magical day.
February is again, a very slow month for us. I still end up working weekends. Whilst February is the month of love, James & I are never ones for celebrating Valentines Day (We are Vday Scrooges!) we actually went all out & I created a steak dinner with a baked cake delight for pudding. He did the obligatory flowers & prosecco which certainly did not disappoint.
March I lived for my week off in March. End. March sadly saw my Grandads first illness and was in hospital for a week or so. I’d never seen my Grandad ill so it was really hard to take it in, luckily he was home but there was a huge difference in him. I only hoped that he would get back to himself very soon. (more…)
As I write I am currently sat in the Manhattan Room onboard the NCL Breakaway. I know how rude of me to have my phone at the table, but truth has it, I am still waiting for my dinner guests to arrive as they are currently trying out the amazing high ropes & climbing wall. So whilst I’m sat here I can write to my hearts content. A truly amazing menu is on offer & I really don’t know what to do with myself? The restaurant has a really suave & sophisticated feel too it without it being over pretentious. The jazz & blues singer is keeping me entertained whilst I still decide on my menu choice. I haven’t even explored half the ship yet, with eighteen decks & less than 24 hours on board, the mind boggles how you’d even find everything within a weeks cruise. So rather than be rude, ill post a full blog when I get home with plenty of photos. In the meantime can you help me choose my evening meal?
So last night was the night we would be relatively tortured in these 60mph winds by staying in a Haven Caravan at Primrose Valley, Filey.
The day started with tea, coffe & Millie’s cookies… This certainly got me excited. I still have no idea how I haven’t tried one of those delicious, moist, warm cookies before in my life? Next time I see a Millie’s Cookies I am going to get me one of those!
The itinerary for the day was to go “speed dating” with the suppliers & tour operators. We did this by going into six different caravans and having a good old chinwag about their products they can offer.
We met Tony from Great Rail Journeys who has a fantastic persona, lovely guy! This company offer tailor made and escorted trips on the railways of the world. It sounds perfect for our Coach clients who are looking for something different.
Nicky Yates from Attraction World was her usual bubbly & happy self, giving us a great reminder of how great the product is and the diversity of tickets for all destinations.
Disney were also present, two lovely girls who talked us through all things Disney, which I was more than happy to listen to. Having been to Paris & Florida it was great to listen about the benefits of a Disney cruise. They even have “wave phones” so families can split up on the ship & still be able to contact one another, what a brilliant idea? Something l will definitely taking back to the shop & selling confidently.
Jewel in the Crown were present, having travelled with them before on my own holidays it was great to see an insight into the mindset of the company & what they are about. It is only a small team of 11 but they offer some amazing deals to Turkey & Goa.
Classic Collection the luxury tour operator. They are amazing at what they do & really give the clients that extra “wow factor” for example one of the reps will be waiting for the travel clients with bottles of water on arrival at the airport. They still have the old school wallets with travel guides sent to the clients. If you are looking for something special then these guys can really help.
The gentleman from Balkan Holidays really opened my eyes to the likes of Bulgaria which is somewhere I try not to sell or wouldn’t travel to myself. I’ve never seen it as a “cultural” area that I would enjoy, especially the club 18-30 area of Sunny Beach! The resort of Nessebar is a unesco heritage site & you can get waterfront restaurants where you could pick up a three course meal & drinks for roughly £10pp! It’s very good for those like myself, who enjoy authentic Greece. It will definitely be somewhere that I will think about in the future.
After lunch Louise Tansey from Bourne Leisure went through their products such as Haven, Butlins & Warner Hotels. I’ve always been sceptical of these holiday arrangements purely because of the types of people they attract etc. but it’s great to see that do many people are enjoying some of the new attractions. Can you believe at one of buntlins main resorts will have fish swimming under the inside pool? How cool is that?!
Overall it was a fun experience, we even got to enjoy the hospitality of the caravans & the Mash and Barrell pub where food & drink flowed. What it is to be a travel agent?
