I had been waiting in eager anticipation to see Black Swan until Monday night. I don't typically recommend movies to people because everyone has different tastes. I can tell that some won't like this one due to some pretty graphic scenes that made the boyfriend and I blush (at least, I could feel myself blushing in the dark theatre). But I like psycho-sexual, creepy, what-the-hell-is-going-on thrillers. It fulfills some sort of curiosity in me. The fact that I studied Psychology and actually enjoyed reading Freud helps further this little 'ol fact about yours truly. So do I recommend it? I do! I loved every minute of it, and am contemplating seeing it again.

The film has already been nominated for four Golden Globes, including best actress for Natalie Portman. She gives the performance of her career. I didn't take my eyes off her the entire movie. She was captivating and beautiful.













I'm really into ballerina buns right now.

Have you seen Black Swan? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the weekend. I certainly did! Las Vegas was cloudy and rainy, but the bf and I didn't let a little weather ruin our good time and our even better moods. I must admit I am still tired this morning, so I will let the pictures I took do most of the talking. Overall, it was an extremely relaxing Vegas vacation, and a romantic one at that. Trust me when I tell you that I desperately needed it!

Friday night. My tailbone is still really sore but I managed to bust out heels both nights.


Saturday morning, in front of the Mirage. You're right Katie, it's beautiful!

The inside is like a tropical forest.



City Centre. YOU MUST GO! We didn't even get to see half of it.

Bar/lounge inside the Aria




The boyfriend's phone takes great pictures


The Luxor is one of my favorites


Saturday night. I wore my Anthro volante top and I loved the combination with my Guess leopard heels. I was going to rock a skirt, but it was raining and I didn't bring tights!


We ate dinner at Tao in the Venetian. Truly beautiful!

Some of the best sushi I've ever had

I did a neutral eye and red lips

Nothing's better than a getaway with the one you love


Vegas again next year? Most definitely!

Hey Dolls!
I just wanted to let you know that I will be away from my computer for the next few days, as I am leaving to go to Vegas. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead and I will be back to regular posting, reading, and commenting next week!

On a side note, I hurt (bruised) my tailbone Tuesday night while working out at the gym. I spent all day yesterday resting and getting Xrayed...followed by a happy shot that made me feel like I was walking through clouds. I am fine of course, but I'm a bit worried to walk in heels this weekend! I hope I can do you all proud and suck it up anyway. Oh and note to self: Don't sneeze as I just did! Cuz sneezing is no fun when you have a bruised tailbone.

About a month ago I was contacted by an online social fashion site. The representative asked if I would be willing to do an interview to be published today. I have never been contacted by an outside source before, so I was very excited to write the answers to a few short questions. The website, entitled Smashion, reads, " A social fashion site that features a free marketplace connecting people with a passion for fashion. Express your style, connect with others, and have fun buying and selling without paying a fee." To me, it sounds almost like ebay or an online consignment store. It's a fun concept and I will definitely continue to explore further. Anyway, if you are interested in my little interview, you can read it here!

Have a wonderful day,
♥ Noelle
