Road Trip: Vegas!
We’re off today for a long weekend in Las Vegas, to celebrate le monsieur’s birthday. There will be eating, a little blackjack, perhaps a spa treatment or two, a little window shopping, more eating, some visits with friends, perhaps a bit more eating, and a lot of just enjoying being off the work/familial leash.
As we’re driving rather than flying I have more latitude with packing, but still want to keep things simple. We have one fancy dinner planned but most of the rest of the time “smart casual” will be appropriate. We tend to do a lot of walking in Vegas, so comfortable footwear is a must, at least for daytime.
Here’s a quick-n-dirty Polyvore On The Floor of my Friday-Monday wardrobe. Yes, lots of black and grey, but I’ve included some color in there too with the NYDJ jeans.
Tops:
- 2 silk jersey tees (Eileen Fisher)
- 1 charmeuse silk oversize tee (Eric Bompard)
- 1 silk button front blouse (the Madewell horse shirt)
- Eileen Fisher long assymetrical ponte knit jacket
- Eileen Fisher short silk/cotton knit jacket
- Eileen Fisher lightweight wool mesh tunic, black (seen here)
- Eileen Fisher sparkly charcoal tunic sweater
- 2 pair NYDJ colored twill jeans
- 1 pair NYDJ dark wash denim
- 1 pair NYDJ coated denim, black (these will be fun to dress up!)
- Eileen Fisher lantern hem dress
- Leopard loafers, Paul Green
- Snakeskin pumps, Stuart Weitzman
- Walking sandals, ECCO
Will post some updates from the Other City That Doesn’t Sleep, stay tuned!

Have a fabulous time – happy birthday to the monsieur! Your pieces look wonderfully mixable and elegant for all occasions. Love the small Chanel bag!
Have fun! And happy birthday to le monsieur
The first thing that caught my eye, was, bien sur, the Chanel bag… 🙂 You can get the French Girl out of France, but you can’t get France out of the French Girl 🙂 Have fun. Joyeux anniversaire, Monsieur! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
Spa treatments, eating, a birthday celebration… Recipe for fun!
Great picks, very appropriate for an autumn Vegas trip. Enjoy. 🙂
Have a wonderful trip!
I’ve been trying to talk my husband into visiting Vegas for years – I anxiously anticipate your reports, which I expect will give me ample arguments/ammunition.
Vegas is my home town. I know that drive from LA to Las Vegas all too well.
You may want to bring along an umbrella. I hear there’s been some interesting weather there the last couple of days.
Have fun and happy birthday to your husband! Hope you guys win big 🙂
Of course, you’re going to the Paris, eh? (It actually has a pretty good buffet, with made-to-order crepes!)
Oh, what fun!! I haven’t been in several years, but maybe it’s time to plan another trip. My birthday’s coming up!
Enjoy, and I await your posts!
I’ve been obsessed with taking a road trip in the last year, although we haven’t yet done it. Too many airports in recent years for obligatory trips. I want to drive from LA to SF, with some stops along the way. There’s something so appealing about just getting into your own car and going. Have a fantastic time, and Happy
Birthday to your husband.
Looks like you picked the perfect Las Vegas collection! Have fun and of course share…the New York Mall looks pretty amazing!
Glad to see you’ve packed something sparkly. Be lucky!
Do have a fabulous time in LV! How long is the drive? I enjoy traveling decent distances in the car. Great time for conversations, btw.
And oh, my favorite, the horse shirt, is packed along : )!
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas! Have a blast…you’ll certainly look terrific doing it.
I love a road trip! Hope you have a great time & win big. I’m interested to see how you style the coated jeans; I just bought those myself, in both black & the distressed brown. Now must decide which one to keep (probably the black. Keeping both would be WAY too extravagant……wouldn’t it???)

Looks like great fun! You should be well dressed for just about anything.
I’m loving your capsule wardrobe! Looks chic and comfortable and well balanced for the planned activities.
