FOTD: Vegas Bound

This was the look I wore the day we headed to Vegas. I love Vegas. I go at least 3-4 times a year! This time it was different since I went with my parents. We enjoyed some quality (minus the occasional bickering) time together and watched Cirque Du Soleil.

FOTD: Valentine's Day

So my V day was pretty low key and relaxing. After work, I brought my mom out to dinner. It felt nice to take her out and treat her for once. We talked about life, love, and, of course, boys. LOL it was an awesome time with my mom. I was reminded again by how much I love her. Hope you all had a fabulous V day! =)
