Gold Life, New Life

I have to admit, I am obsessed with gold...gold, gold, gold!  But for this article I want to talk jewelry, specifically earrings and an amazing gold bar necklace.  And don't think I won't mix gold and silver together, it happens almost daily in my life. Finding unique jewelry and wearing personalizing pieces is something I love to do!  Did I mention I love shopping local too? If you follow me on Instagram @shonameyer, you will see I am a lover of all things Kansas City!

Let's talk earrings...leather, lightweight, stylish, and fabulous!  I was introduced to Nickel and Suede this past spring when I attending a local blogging event.  The owner was a speaker at the conference and I was fortunate enough to meet and have lunch with her.  She is the sweetest lady you will ever meet and her earrings and cuffs are amazing!  I just purchased this stunning #gold pair from a recent pop-up shop at Made In KC, I am obsessed with them! Find Nickel and Suede on IG @nickelandsuede

James Michelle, if you haven't seen her pieces, you must do so now!  I ordered a personalized gold bar necklace and it never leaves my neck.  Recently I have been led in new directions, some easier than others, but all leading to new paths in life and a new start.  For me, this necklace represents my life, a new direction, and that direction leads me to the sea. The one place I can go and release my thoughts, mind, and relax. And although I don't get there as often as I would like, I make sure and hold the sea close to my heart.  Hence the arrow pointing the way to the ocean.  Find James Michelle on IG @jamesmichelle and customize to your little hearts desire.

Labor Day at Beaver Lake

One word, amazing.  My Labor Day weekend could not have been any better!  Meeting new people has become easier for me as I have gotten older and stepped out of my comfort zone, yes I used to be shy.  I was asked to join a group of people, which whom I only knew one of them, for the Labor Day Holiday at Beaver Lake.  One house, 14 people, 2 bathrooms, and 3 bedrooms...my first thought...how on earth will we all get ready in the morning? Yes, you are laughing now because it's the lake and probably thinking why in the world do you get ready...trust me, hair and mascara are still a must! 

 

I decided to accept the invitation and after talking another classmate into riding down with me, I am SO glad I did!!  We walked in to a houseful of people; clothes, bedding, and food everywhere....and did I mention an endless supply of coolers full of, um, ice :) Everyone was so accepting and we plopped down at the kitchen table and starting playing games!  Bingo!  And no, we weren't playing bingo! What happens at the lake stays at the lake!

 

Now to the lake part...GORGEOUS! I mean, beautiful, clear, clean and amazing views!  Two boats, 14 people, a paddle board, lake mat, and laughter all day long!  The weather was perfect, the company was even better and I witnessed a sunset that was to die for!  We were on the water all day and star-gazed at night. The perfect ending to the holiday weekend...besides walking away with some awesome new friends! 

 



 

Here is to new friends and good times! Lake Life!

Thanks to Victoria for some great shots!



Vegas #duh #birthday #kcgirlsDOvegas

Vegas...that's all you have to say to know that when traveling there you are going to have a good time.  And that good ole' saying "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"...well, it's probably a good idea!  However, my recent stay did involve some very interesting happenings...a few that I never would have imagined so it's worth the chat! 

I joined a birthday girls trip for my good friend Ash...I like to call her Sid, and we had a blast! Seven girls, 3 nights, 2 hotel suites, and a bunch of laughs and memories that will definitely never be forgotten.  We stayed at MGM Signature Suites, I have never stayed at MGM mainly because I do like to be more centrally located on the strip, but I must say, I will return.  The rooms were perfect, the pools were even better, and everyone there was very courteous...even on those late nights when you lose your key and your party and have to remember where you are staying...oops!  Hey, it happens! 

The tower suites are separate from the main MGM hotel, but they are connected which is nice because you have access to all amenities...most importantly the main pool, one word, CABANA! All day, every day...I need one in my life!  1 Oak and Club XS...I am normally not a Vegas club kind of girl, but the dancing was fun, I would definitely recommend XS for sure.  Carnival Court is a must and if you know me, you know I go there every time I go to Vegas. 

 

Tower Suite pool, Day #2, relaxing for sure!! 

 

Carnival Court!!!

 

MGM Cabana Day! Rosie was our server, she was awesome! The lazy river did not disappoint! Plus, we met some pretty cool peeps!

 

 

Ready for 1 Oak Nighclub, yes we did meet Jason Derulo and hang with his crew!

Shopping at the Forum Shops the last day! We had to visit MK of course, celebrate the birthday girl, and drink some champs! #newarmcandy

 

 

Next time you are in Vegas, check out the MGM Signature Suites and all of the above!!  I am ready to return in May for another Birthday Party!!!
