are you a lucky little lady in the city of light?

because it's raining outside and finally feeling like October, it's reminding me of rainy and beautiful Paris. I've shared some more photos from my trip, which were scaled down from about 2,000. I think they will give you a good idea as to what I saw in the 'city of light'. I learned basic French while cabbing it alone to meet my family for dinner, saw Salma Hayek park in the middle of the street and waltz into Yves Saint Laurent within the first five minutes of arriving, had my own hotel room at Hotel de Castiglione, drank red wine and Kronenbourg/ate french fries at every meal, rode bikes all around the city (including privately into the Louvre courtyard at dusk), walked nearly a half hour back to the hotel in a lightning storm, and got to see the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame (both of which were dreams of mine to see). I'm sure I'm leaving things out, but as you will see it was beyond amazing...

until we meet again my sweet Paris...xoxo.

viva art!

on my recent trip to Vegas, I had the opportunity to stay at the Cosmopolitan (which is one giant collection of fine art), and also take a tour of the Neon Sign Museum. It was truly an artist's dream...
even the parking garage was covered in art by one of my favorite street artists, Shepard Fairey.

where all the signs go when they die, and where the photo opportunities are endless and exciting

'A' is for 'Aims'

...and hit the jackpot, we did

first time at Fremont street, love the classic Vegas deco
