Vegas Vacation

Over the weekend I met Chelsea in Vegas for a girls weekend. On the agenda were a few simple items: pool time, shopping, eat good food, workout and go dancing. 

Although we were in Las Vegas, our weekend was anything but typical Vegas vacation. Take for example the night we opted for workout clothes as we walked the strip...

Stretch break at the Bellagio

Elvis says viva las lunges!

B is for bulging biceps

Running the stairs

Push-ups

Toe touch

Casino style bicep curl

Cart wheels

Although we never made it dancing, I'd say we successfully accomplished our agenda! Most of all it was so fun to be away from everyday life and have some quality friend time.

My friend Chelsea...

was my roommate in college. We lived together for 3 fun-filled years in our sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta.
and I knew shortly after meeting that we were meant to be friends! best friends to be exact.

is a hard worker but knows to never take life too seriously. She's thoughtful, funny and has a great sense of style. Just a few good reasons why we get along so well.

lives in beautiful Durango, CO. I wish it was closer to CA.

is engaged to a fabulous man, Trevor. Talk about a match made in heaven!!

is tying the knot in 23 days!

will be a gorgeous bride!!

Before she gets hitched it's only proper she be showered with love, best wishes and a few gifts! Over the weekend her mom and lovely ladies in Durango did just that. While I was unable to be there in person, I was honored to make her invitations. It was one of the my best creative challenges to date.

Here are a few pics of the invite...

Page 2 was a detachable recipe card for the guests to share their
favorite recipe with the bride and groom.

And a few pictures from the shower...
