HIGH ROLLER

Vegas in late October - 3 years to the exact same weekend of our first trip to Vegas together back in 2013 for the Life is Beautiful festival. However, this year we went because we won a free trip on 'The Talk' show, including 2 nights at Caesars Palace .....and let's not forget a free ride on the High Roller ;)  We hit downtown Vegas one night for memory sake, and spent Saturday sleeping late with black out curtains, day drinking by the pool (paying $60 for a comfortable lounge chair in the sun was totally worth it) followed by a night on the town checking out all the Halloween decorations leading up to the high roller, and some light gambling in Caesars casino where we met up with our pals who won the same free trip. That desert highway stretch home is the only part of Vegas that is never fun... 

Brooklyn & LES

After my NYFW fix, hanging out for the weekend in Brooklyn and the LES (lower east side ya'll) was all we wanted to have on the agenda. Loved experiencing a rooftop party in Willamsburg (super popular in that area), looking across at the city seeing the 2 twin tower lights beaming into the night sky....the following day was Sept 11th, marking 15 years. (we did also take an afternoon to visit ground zero, which was eerie and emotional as one can imagine).  Back in Brookyln, there was late night Karaoke, saki bombs, amazing brunches and dinners, shopping, checking out the new Ludlow house in LES and seeing my first Cat Cafe - meow!!  Best part of course - seeing our buds we rarely get to see. 

ps. I love that you have no need to work out in NY since you're walking 10+ miles a day.
