A Dream Come True


Ever since I was a little girl, I've always loved Celine Dion. She's my girl! There's just something about her voice that gets to me. A few weeks ago, my mom surprised me by helping me fulfill a dream to see her in concert! We packed our bags and headed to the one and only...Las Vegas!

So this week I bring you: The Adventures of a fan girl in Las Vegas!


I think my mind works in cycles and trends because I'll be obsessed with one thing for a little while and wear it over and over, then move on to a different trend until I decide I love something else! Well, during this trip, I was polka dot crazy!

As soon as we arrived, I could automatically feel the energy this city has to offer--even in the airport!


That night we headed to Caesars Palace, ready to be blown away! (sorry in advance for all the blurry pictures…we were shaking out of excitement!)


And her concert was no disappointment at all! I love how she incorporated her sweet family into her show.

 The next day was spent visiting all of the hotels and their extravagant displays. They are truly works of art!

 My mom and I also had the opportunity to visit our cousins! They picked up on the polka dot trend as well!
What a good looking group, right? My titas are the best!

The weather was absolutely beautiful while we were there! Going to church there topped off our Sunday with a cherry on top!

All in all it was a fabulous trip and a nice way to get away and spend time with my mom. And what could be better than seeing one of my favorite singers of all time?!

Radiant in the Rain

Does rainy weather put a damper on your style? Don't let it! Let your styling outfit bring sunshine on gloomy days! I'm glad you've come to see how I styled rain boots! With a few simple tips, you'll be on your way to bringing sunshine in everyone's way on rainy days!








First of all, if you don't own a pair of rain boots, I would highly recommend you get a pair. You can use them when its rainy or snowy without sacrificing your style.

 Here are 3 tips to take into consideration when buying rain boots:
  1. Make sure the boots are really water proof…believe it or not, some rain boots are not water proof and are solely for aesthetics.
  2. Don't be afraid to get a bright color! It doesn't matter what color you choose because the rain boots can be used as the accent of an outfit. I would however suggest getting a solid color as opposed to a pattern because you can match more with it. 
  3. Some rain boots are really poorly made and will deteriorate fast so I suggest spending a little more for a better quality pair. Also, when well taken care of, they'll last even longer :)

Need some help? I found some here, here, and here!






You can wear rain boots with skirts and dresses! Just because it's raining doesn't mean you are restricted to wearing only pants or jeans…the next time the weather calls for rain boots, try styling them with a dress!!











 If you do opt for a more neutral color for rain boots, add some color to your outfit through colored jeans or other accent accessories



Rain boots can be worn no matter what season it is! Wether it's cold and rainy or warm and gloomy, rain boots can be styled to fit any weather condition or occasion!






 My siblings wanted to join in on the fun…all together minus one :)
How do you wear your rain boots? Have some other ideas or tips? Comment below, I'd love to hear them!


Come back soon to see my adventure in Las Vegas and how polka dots took over my wardrobe! Thanks for stopping by! xoxo
