SO many tourists!
Messina, Italy:
(found my anchors!)
We spent our last day at the beach, just relaxing on lounge chairs enjoying a beautiful view. Perfect way to end an AMAZING trip!

Vegas recap!
Friday night:
Ordered room service for dinner (is there anything better??) then headed to Tryst at the Wynn. I really liked that there is a large outdoor area and a huge waterfall, definitely cools you down after time on the dance floor!
(before we went out):
At Tryst:
(you can sort of see the water fall in the background)
Saturday:
Hit the pool. We spent time either floating on rafts in the pool or relaxing in the cabana.
(watching the Dodger game)
After a full day at the pool we headed to the Wynn to have drinks with my parents and their friends. I love the view from their room!
(18th hole of the golf course- click to make bigger)
Next we went to dinner at Stratta.
Don't you love that big bow?
In my FAVORITE Alice + Olivia dress
We checked out Encore then headed back to our room. Sometimes after a night out/day at the pool you just want to have a PJ party with your best friends ;)
Sunday we got up early (yuck) to drive back to LA. Coming back from Vegas is always depressing. Back to the real world now ;)

Checking in!
I am back from Vegas. Always depressing to come back to the real world ;) I will do a full recap later this week. I have some great posts scheduled for this week (including the final two cruise days). There is another Kate Spade sale on One Kings Lane (tomorrow) so email me if you want an invite! (Apparently there is NOT a Kate Spade sale anymore :(
Last night I went to dinner at Villa Blanca in Beverly Hills. The restaurant is GORGEOUS!
Lastly, I had a job interview today and it is seriously my dream job! Please say a prayer that I get the job (or just keep your fingers crossed if you aren't religious!). The job hunt is so exhausting!

Can you guess where I am this weekend??
Wearing my FAVORITE Pink Pony sweatshirt that someone STOLE off my bag at Dulles airport. I am still mad!
(hint: that blue sky is FAKE!)
Click on this photo and it is definitely clear :)
I am 10 posts away from 600 posts! And 20 followers away from 500 followers. You know what that means!

Kusadasi (Ephesus), Turkey!
I know it has taken FOREVER for me to recap my cruise. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my travel photos! Next week I'll finish up with Athens (Greece) and Messina (Italy).
I loved Kusadasi. It is a gorgeous seaside/resort town. I also really enjoyed Ephesus, which is an ancient Greek city just outside of Kusadasi ("It was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League during the Classical Greek period"-thanks Wikipedia!). One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Temple of Artemis, is located here (though barely anything is still standing). There is so much history here!
Ephesus:
There is a lot of Christian/Catholic history (check out the Wikipedia if you are interested in reading about the connection to the apostles Paul and John-apparently they walked down this path?)

Of course I found my anchor(s):

Santorini!
I highly recommend clicking on the photos to see them bigger. Santorini is gorgeous!
If only I had a fancier camera to capture that amazing sunset!
Our ship!
Don't you want to live in that house/hotel with the pool? They have an amazing view!
Lastly, walking down the donkey path/stairs (to read that story again go here). My sister was walking begind me and took this candid photo. I bet you wish you could see the expression on my face as I walked in sandals on a steps filled with donkey poop ;)
