Stacks of Gold

I haven't really worn bracelets and cuffs a great deal in recent years, and I've gone even longer without wearing a watch. Then I spotted a gold watch being worn by an industry insider in a magazine a year or two ago, and fell in love. It was a gold Rolex (of course) so it was up there with jumbo Chanel bags and couture gowns on my most-unlikely-wish-list. Then a few months later, browsing Net-a-Porter's newest accessories led me to a new breed of gold watches by Michael Kors, which soon went on to take over the wrists of every style blogger imaginable. Months of visual teasing later, I finally got my own as a 21st birthday treat in Vegas last month, and have been wanting to layer on more gold pieces to complement it ever since, yet nothing I currently own seems to work without making my wrist look OTT. So I did some trawling through WeHeartIt to find some inspiration and here are some of my favourite results...

Vegas and The Rest

So I'm back, and seeming as I tend to share a lot of images, and lately have shared my excitement for Vegas on seemingly every other post, I figured I'd share some of my holiday photos on here. I landed back in London this morning but haven't slept since Friday night/Saturday morning in Vegas (damn overnight flights and illness) so I'm currently about to go crazy as I haven't slept in about 32hours now. I've been forcing myself to stay up all day to avoid the horrid jet-lag I experienced after my trip to Canada in February. Fingers crossed I wake up at a reasonable time tomorrow then...

So anyway, here's a random jumble of photos from Las Vegas, The Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and some places in between. My mum and I flew over to celebrate my 21st and her 40th, which are two weeks apart. It was unreal. I'm so exhausted from cramming so much into a five night trip with two long haul flights, but it was oh so worth it.

We stayed at the MGM Grand, but I'm pretty certain I would like to make the Bellagio my home now. We saw the O show by Cique du Soleil too, which was incredible, and had the most amazing steaks at Prime (also in the Bellagio - love love love).

I dragged my poor mother into three Victoria's Secret stores there too, and still didn't manage to find the things I'd bookmarked online. But I did finally get my gold Michael Kors watch with some gift money and money I'd saved for the trip. Very lucky lady, such a surreal week.

Time to sleep at last anyway, until the morning lovelies x
