do not miss this!!

Okay, you know how much I LOOOOVE Aris on the Coast, so you can imagine my excitement on this one! This sale is HUGE and starts tomorrow. I literally want everything in this store, so I know the goods are going to be soooo good! The event ends Saturday, so stop in and treat yourself to a lil something gorg!

A lot of my friends are in Vegas this week and what better way to take a break from the craziness than with a trunk show at Beckley Boutique in the gorgeous Cosmopolitan Hotel! Meet designer Samantha Wills and indulge in beautiful jewels from her latest collection!

Since we are in major wedding mode (officially 3 months to the day yesterday!), I had to include this registry party at Crate&Barrel for any brides that are just starting out. This is a great way to register, have people in the store help you with products, and most importantly – use the gun!!! Isn’t that what we all look forward to? This is going on in multiple stores all over the country so click here to find a store near you and set your appointment!

Then tomorrow night, for those heading to Vegas or already out there, go to Beckley Boutique (one of our faves in Weho) in The Cosmopolitan Hotel for an Herve Leger event. Stylists from the iconic “bandage” collection will be on hand to pick out that perfect dress for your weekend ahead…

And last, but certainly not least, on Friday night Wink boutique will be having a Rebecca Minkoff trunk show hosted by fashion blogger, Arielle Nachmani, of Something Navy. Load up on amazing goodies while enjoying a champagne campaign…

Have fun and you’re welcome!

Now I will be the first to admit, I am not a huge fan of Vegas. I actually had to go there on a day trip for work (ugh, I know), but while I was there, I popped in The Crystals to see what it was that everyone had been talking about. And I will admit – it did not disappoint. It is as mesmerizing on the outside as it is on the inside.

Hermes, Cartier, Lanvin, YSL, Stella, Marni, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dior – it is the ultimate in shopping with all your favorite luxury designers. But, The Crystals to me was not so much about the stores, grant it, I love me some Balenciaga with a side of Tom Ford, but it is the architecture and the ambiance of this shopping center that is truly phenomenal. Its futuristic design creates a very modern setting with park like attributes.

And if you get hungry while in a shopping frenzy, you have a number of great restaurants to refuel at. Wolfgang Puck has his signature spot there along with Eva Longoria who has an outpost of her famed Beso Steakhouse. There is also Social House and a couple smaller snack shops, but it is my personal favorite that I would highly recommend – Mastro’s. Not only is it amazing food (order the lobster mashed potatoes – trust me!), you need to just experience the architecture of the restaurant.

Now what happens AFTER your day of shopping at The Crystals – well that you can keep to yourself.
