So, here’s the deal.  In all the insanity of this past year, Chad and I are so long overdue for a vacation that it’s a little pathetic!  Between buying our house, putting in the pool (so close!) and jetting back and forth from New York, it’s been almost a year since we last had a weekend of pure sightseeing or breach-going! 

So, obviously, I jumped on the chance to participate in Banana Republic (the makers of this AMAZING leather dress ^[1]) and Virgin America’s Upgrade Your Style program ^[2]!  Click over to their Facebook page ^[2] for the chance to win two round-trip tickets and a Banana Republic shopping spree!  And even if you don’t win, you can grab an awesome discount on flights and clothes!

Now the tough part: where to go?!  I put together a Pinterest Board ^[3] of my top choices, but what do you guys think?  Top of my list is Portland, Oregon, because one of my best girlfriends moved there and I still haven’t visited!  But I’m also DYING to go to Las Vegas — I’ve never been and it sounds like such a blast!  Throw in Los Angeles, Los Cabos, and good old NYC, and I can’t seem to make up my mind!

* Sorry, guys.  It’s impossible for me to do an outfit post of me in all leather without referencing The Matrix at least once.  See?  There, I got it out of my system.
