Girls Getaway
I typically go into full hibernation once January starts. I guess it has something to do with the COLD weather coupled with the post-holiday downtime. This year, I have vowed for 2007 to be the best year of my life! A few of my girlfriends and I have talked about planning a girls getaway for the past few years – so to be stay true to the 2007 Best Year Vow, we’ve decided to make 2007 our getaway year! I’m super pumped.
I was charged with the task of coordinating the major components of the trip – Where: Las Vegas When: Summer and Who: Fabulous friends. No party poopers allowed.
In doing research for fun ways to add excitement to a Girls Getaway, I came across some awesome resources that I thought would be great to use in our travel planning:
Trib Hub (http://www.triphub.com)
- since everyone is into blogging, this tool is awesome for organizing your trip, sending invitations and giving your fellow travelers access so everyone can stay involved and excited! The website also allows you and your friends to share idea via your customized forum and best of all, it’s FREE!
Girl Trip (http://www.girltrip.org)
- Although I think this blogger has gone on sabbatical, she still has some awesome tips on making a getaway themed for a fun and fabulous trip with friends, including TV Shows, Dress up and History
Road Trip Divas (http://www.roadtripdivas.com)
- these divas rule! They leave their husbands and kids at home and travel all over the world to fabulous desitnations such as camping (not so fabulous to me but hey, to each her own), Europe and plenty other US locations. In addition to journaling their travels, they have plenty of tips and resources to help plan your own fab trip. They even sell Road Trip Diva merchandise.
So as it goes, planning an awesome Vegas getaway has motivated me to come out of hibernation and start planning months ahead to make sure we all have an amazing time!
Stay tuned for plenty more updates, as the Vegas party has only begun!

New Year, New You? Check out this week's feature article on Defining your own Style Sense for 2007!
Defining Our Fashion Styles!
With so many designer brands and runway fashions in our faces, it can be hard to determine which styles tend to work best with your individual taste, personality or occasion. Take a few minutes to answer the following questions about your own personal fashion sense to see which Style category you tend to enjoy most.
If you take a look at my wardrobe, you’ll see mostly:
A. All of the latest designer looks and styles. You name it, I have it and more. I could use an extra closet for all of the clothes that I have.
B. A good mix of the latest styles that I found at the mall, boutiques or discount stores. I love catching a good bargain!
C. Plenty of timeless classics, such as pantsuits, skirts, and blouses.
D. Comfortable jeans and skirts, statement t-shirts and bold accessories
You are headed out with your girls on a Friday night – what are you wearing?
A. Designer embellished jeans, v-neck sweater with my new designer boots.
B. Mall brand embellished jeans, sweater with boots I caught on sale last season.
C. Basic black slacks, sweater set and polished ankle boots.
D. Boot cut denim jeans, political t-shirt, fitted blazer with a chunky bangle bracelet.
You are leaving the mall very excited about your latest purchase. What’s in your bag that you are so excited about?
A. Sexy pair of designer stilettos
B. A pair of wedge boots that you caught on sale
C. Cole Haan tweed pump shoes
D. Flared denim jeans
Which celebrity best represents your sense of style?
A. Halle Berry, fashionable and sophisticated
B. Jennifer Aniston, charming girl next door
C. Oprah, professional and in charge
D. Queen Latifah, soulful and laidback
If your wardrobe were song lyrics, it would best be described as:
A. “Fresh dressed worth a million bucks”
B. “Living my life like it’s golden”
C. “Don’t make me over”
D. “Easy like a Sunday morning”
If you chose mostly A’s, then you represent:
Diva Fashion
You live and breathe fashion. You are aware of all the latest designers and trends. You don’t just wear the new styles before they hit the stores; you create the trends that the rest of us follow. You have celebrity style, always ready for the runway or paparazzi snapshots. You’ll never get arrested by the Fashion Police – your wardrobe is stylish, sexy and sophisticated. Your closet is the envy of most women.
If you chose mostly B’s, then you represent:
Girl Next Door Fashion
Your style is often mistaken for Diva Fashion because you like to keep current on the latest styles but this diva is living on a fashion budget. You tend to head straight for the clearance racks. You aren’t afraid to mix styles and often have unique pieces that you’ve found during your shopping hunts. You follow the Diva’s sense of style but on a more practical budget. You tend not to be caught up in designer hype and you aren’t afraid of knock-offs – if it’s cute, you’re wearing it!
If you chose mostly C’s, then you represent:
Professional Fashion
You tend to lean closer to the classics – some may dare to call your wardrobe boring but you like to consider it “practical”. Sure, you’ll throw in a bit of color or shimmer here and there but for the most part, you aren’t straying far from your pinstripes and classic fit styles. You can bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan! You enjoy simple and sensible additions to your wardrobe that will last from season to season.
If you chose mostly E’s, then you represent:
Mystic Fashion Style
If Neo-Soul music had a fashion equivalent…then your style would be it. No one will catch you spending hours at the mall shopping for the latest trends; you have a fashion style that is distinctly yours. For you, it’s all about the comfort of the clothing and you tend to add the personality with bold accessories and handbags. Your style is easy, laid back and natural, with a hint of retro thrown in.
Although we all have our individual shapes and style, the fun part about being a woman is that we can be versatile. Don't be afraid to experiment with new fashion styles. The new year is a great time to experiment with new styles, so have fun!
