Sunday Blues

Sundays are starting to become one of my favorite days, minus the fact that Monday is just right around the corner... It is the day I get to sleep in, lounge around, spend some quality time with my boyfriend and friends and just get my week together before it starts.

This weekend has been so packed with events that today was the first time we both have had time to  sit down and take a breather. My favorite baby cousins turned a year older this weekend and I can't believe how old they have gotten. I remember changing their diapers, and now one is headed into middle school and the other is headed into kindergarten... But it's true, they never fail to put a smile on my face. Can't wait for more addition to our families!

I love quality time with my boyfriend - it's nice to have someone who constantly has you laughing no matter what is going on in life. Today he spoiled us both with massages and capped it off with FroYo! How could it get better? We are also starting to fall in love with our neighborhod with all the hidden gems we've been finding, like this quaint little alley way.

Today's outfit is a sweet summer date day/night outfit. I am in love with this cute maxi, not just for the cut and style in the front but for the exposing back. Please excuse my tan lines, I got burnt for the first time ever this summer and it is here to stay...

Stay posted dolls, I am going to organize all the things I'm selling in my closet soon. :)

 My aunt is such a boss when it comes to making cakes. I have yet to meet one person who was not satisfied with their cakes!! Here are the birthday boys in all their glory. 

Neon Lights

Here we go again dolls, another wedding to remember! Vietnamese weddings are always different than the American culture, but one thing is for sure it is definitely very traditional. Church, then a mini party at the grooms house, then the actual reception party... A lot of drinking and food in between!

Today's outfit post is about my choice for the reception - it was a big hit with not only me but with majority of the party. Let's just say my family couldn't lose me if they tried! Same goes for my boyfriend. :) I love these events!

I've got to admit, when I visited SheInside online, I was a bit skeptical. There was tons of great dresses for a decent penny, only thing was that they were from overseas. The last few times I ordered things from overseas, they were never the same nor similar to the picture online... but as you can see, I was very happy with this purchase. Here I go again, with the low cuts...

Happy Happy Joy Joy

"A heart at peace gives life to the body but envy rocks the bones." - Proverbs 14:30

Nothing beats sitting on my front porch with my best friend, watching the kids play and listening to the sound of laughter around me. Not to mention it's nearly 7:30pm and it is 70 degrees outside... oh Washington you make my heart skip a beat. Moments like this is when I wish life had a pause button just so I can savor the feeling. Too bad we missed the ice cream man...

Where flowers bloom, so does Hope.

"Get over your hill and see what you find there, with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair." Did I mention I love Pinterest? So many creative minds in one place, it is nothing short of fascinating. Are you on pinterest?

Living with two kids and their wonderful mom for the past year has shown me a different type of life. The happiness in their eyes, and the sincerity in their laughs is so amazing. A child's innocence is the most inspiring trait we will ever come across, and I feel like a lot of us forget that. We get burden with every day issues and lose our spirit but being surrounded by them has reminded me to take life easy, enjoy more laughs, cherish your favorite people and never let the stress take over your happiness. Each day they remind me to change and cherish the things I can and accept the things I can't. If we blink too fast life will just pass us by.

Polka Dot Fun

Since summer is just around the corner, I figured it was a time for a change. When I think of change I go straight for my hair... Goodbye long hair, it is time to replenish and get my hair back to healthy!

Today's post is a casual outfit for a dinner date with my mom and boyfriend. My mom is the typical Asian mom, you will never leave her house empty handed or hungry. She told me she was craving gold fishes the other day and decided to buy the bulk size at Costco... so now Cole and I had to take some home to pack for snacks during our work week... I wonder where I get my spending habits from? But I love that lady to death.

Thanks dolls for visiting! Happy Tuesday!

Easter Sunday

I can't tell you how excited I am that it is Easter! Since I'm a Catholic, I participate in lent every year which is giving up things in your every day life for 40 days and 40 nights. This year I gave up facebook and the hardest one, meat (minus Seafood)! I appreciate vegetarians and vegans so much but I don't think that lifestyle is for me...

Outfit Details || Coral Pencil Skirt: Last year but similar here and here || Black Top: Thrifted similar here and here || Cheetah flats similar here || Juicy Couture Necklace: Here

My mom has always taught me to count your blessings and not your stressings, and I couldn't be more in love with that quote. I thought we were going to have a rainy Easter and yet, it is nice and bright outside. :) Happy Easter my loves! XO
