Well, ladies and gentlemen, I did promise an on location post from Vegas. Unfortunately, I was just a bit too lazy...SO SUE ME...I was at the Bellagio Pool every day. Wow..great trip, lots of fun, pretty much in control the whole time and AMAZING shopping. No, I did not buy anything, but I did get to see my favorite friends, Chanel, Manolo, Louboutin, and Prada...
So I realized on this trip, that maybe I am a bit too conservative (which I highly doubt) or maybe behind the times (like I didn't realize that espadrilles were making a strong comeback OR maybe they never went out of style), but here are my fashion and social observances from Vegas. AND YES I know, it is Vegas, and many things that are acceptable there are not acceptable other places, but just because you change your location there is no reason to not be classy:
1. I will repeat...tights are not pants. If you can see your legs through your tights/leggings, they are not pants.
2. What is with the 32 gallon Eiffel Tower drinks? With a strap so that you can wear your drink around your neck? Ladies and gentlemen, if you need that much alcohol and you need to walk around Vegas with it, you may need Betty Ford and not Vegas. EVERY SINGLE place sells these things, YUCK!
3. Vegas is NOT a family friendly place. PLEASE don't take your children there. I actually observed a man standing in a casino with his child watching a woman dance on a pole...If you have a child that needs a stroller, you might want to consider Disney World, don't push your stroller through the casino.
4. HEY VEGAS...can you make your streets and sidewalks a little easier to walk on...I got my heel stuck no fewer than three times. Good thing I didn't fall ;) OH yeah and get with the times, no smoking in casinos. I KNOW that would cause a problem but I was so used to not smelling like smoke when going out, it took me a few days to get used to it.
5. LADIES! Wear an appropriate bra. There are a lot of fake boobs in Vegas and those girls need to be lifted and covered. And invest in some fashion tape. Thank you.
6. Oh yeah and Vegas...get better wine. Seriously, the only place that had decent wine was the Bellagio. Maybe that is why we sat there for like 3 hours watching people, WOW, there is a lot to watch.
7. LASTLY, ladies, if you are in Vegas for your bachelorette party, it is still NOT OKAY to wear a penis necklace. Why do girls think that is funny or appropriate? What would Coco do?
So there you have it, I know nothing new that I haven't said before. Same rules, different venue. I am off to a wine event in lovely Omaha this upcoming weekend. Cheers and CIAO BELLAS!
A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. That's my girl Coco Chanel. Well, being the single gal in Chicago, selling and marketing luxury travel and being a Sorority Director for Gamma Phi Beta, I have a lot to say. So this blog is my random thoughts on everything on love, life, fashion, movies, fitness and beyond and advice on how to be a lady and have some class!
About Me

- 39 (AND HOLDING) year old single gal in downtown Chicago who loves Jazzercise, Gamma Phi Beta, friends, family, fashion, fine wine and movies. I will admit I am a SNOB about the following things: wine, coffee, handbags, shoes, cars and men.
A) I'm so happy I didn't know what espadrilles are (man card saved there).
ReplyDeleteB) Tights are not pants. Okay, check. :-)
C) Strap drinks are big in Kentucky...for bourbon...for people w/o their front teeth.
D) Children in Vegas observation...classic. LOL!
E) Bra comments: You're right on this one. Men do notice these things and some of them are just bad.
F) The penis necklace...classic. Good for Rush street & not for Las Vegas boulevard. Good point Shannon.
