You’re Invited: Kate Spade The Sky’s the Limit

I was generously offered the opportunity to host a party at Kate Spade at the Somerset Collection this Sunday, November 16, 2014 to celebrate the launch of the new holiday collection. Kate Spade is also offering my readers 25% off any purchase they make at the event! If you are in the area on Sunday, I hope you can join us!

I was thrilled when I saw the new holiday campaign for Kate Spade. I LOVE Las Vegas and having the catalog inspired by old Vegas glamour is right up my alley. They also recruited Anna Kendrick to be the face of their campaign. These pictures are fabulous and I can’t wait to shop this collection. You can check out the entire lookbook here.

Here are my favorite pieces from the upcoming holiday collection:

Wine Totes ($28)

There are two different versions of this adorable wine tote. These would look awesome as hostess gifts.

MADISON AVE. COLLECTION DESSA DRESS ($798)

I just love this! So beautiful!

KATE SPADE EARRINGS SMALL SQUARE STUDS ($38)

I love my Kate Spade stud earrings, but they have blown them out of the water with this sparkly version. A definite holiday must have!

Tippy Sweater ($268)

This is the perfect holiday sweater, this only problem is deciding what color to get.

PLACE YOUR BETS EMANUELLE ($328)

This would be the perfect clutch for a Vegas or casino trip!

PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT TEE ($78)

I love the sparkly component on this shirt.

EVENING BELLES FEATHER MIMI ($398)

My Vegas Style Challenge

I was recently challenged by Vegas.com to create my dream day and wardrobe at the Aria Resort & Casino. For those of you who know me, you know how much I LOVE Las Vegas! This was right up my alley and I had so much fun putting this together. I usually take an annual trip to Las Vegas, but I haven’t taken my 2014 trip yet. This was a fun opportunity to get some ideas for my next trip.

The Aria is a beautiful luxury hotel. I’ve never stayed there, but I did get the opportunity to check it out two trips ago when we saw Cirque de Soleil’s Zarkana.

If I was staying at the Aria, here is what a typical day might look like for me and the girls:

First up, we need breakfast, and the Aria Cafe is the perfect choice. It is open 24 hours and is casual with a variety of different foods (including breakfast). The cool thing about the Cafe is that the stones that decorate the walls are from the old Boardwalk hotel that used to be there.

For breakfast, I would go casual in a crocheted back maxi dress from Felicity & Coco ($78) with this Coach Metro Eyelet Leather Tote Bag ($269.99) and these Michael Kors Sondra Sandals ($99):

After breakfast, we would hit The Spa at Aria.

To lounge at the spa, I would wear this Badgley Mischka Dip Back Maillot Swimsuit ($114):

We would grab some lunch at Five50 Pizza Bar followed by shopping at Crystals.

After shopping we will have to get glammed up for an evening out on the town. I would love to wear this Guess Cap Sleeve Bandage Dress ($158) with the Badgley Mischka Harvey II ($235), Tory Burch Reva Clutch ($375), my Teardrop Chandelier Earrings ($22.95) and Pave Bracelet ($52):
