Green with Envy to cure my Sunday Blues



 

Have you guys hear the new Taylor Swift song yet? I must admit it's not my type of music but I am liking her lyrics. I'm pretty sure she's got life figured out especially in a society where people judge you or compare you to the next, it is really hard to learn to love yourself. But just like T.Swift said, shake it off! Embrace the things that make you different and surround yourself with the ones that appreciate that. Good for her!

 

I've got to say, every since I've met my bf I've learned new ways to look at life, look at people and look at the stuff that comes my way. He is probably the definition of T. Swift's song. He beats to his own drums and could careless what anyone says. If you've got someone in your life that shows you that and helps you appreciate everything, you should definitely keep them around. :) There is beauty in everything if we choose to look for it.

 

Happy hump day dolls!

Thanks for stopping by. :)

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...

Scarf Obsession

My roommate has such an obsession with scarves that it caused me to have an obsession with scarves. That's the plus side of having a roommate to share things with. I overdose on jewelry, she overdoses on scarves and we just mix and match as we go along. :) 

The weather is still a little uncertain here in WA, one day it'll be bright and sunny the next day rainy and windy. I figured a pop of color here or there will brighten up the mood. To start of my spring time looks, I decided pink pants was the best choice.

Have a bright week my loves! :)

Working for the weekend

And my work week is almost over! Every time Friday rolls around, I hear my theme song playing, you know.."everyone's working for the weekend..." It's true, at least it is in my case. I love my 9-5 job but the weekends are just more my thing. 

One of the perks of my job is all the outfits I get to wear. I never thought I was a "business attire" type until I got into the mortgage business. Every morning its a party as I comb through my closet to see what I can put together for the day, and how I can spice up the normal office attire. The one thing I have learned, is that black and white will never go out of style.

Pop of Pink: Valentine's Day Outfit 3

"If you only have one smile in you, give it to the people you love." - Maya Angelou

How perfect is that quote? 

 The other night  I asked my boyfriend what he did for past Valentines and his response was "they went to a nice dinner." The only thing that came to mind was 1) I use to work in the restaurant business and that day was awful 2) everyone does that! Which meant all restaurants are completely packed and you are crammed so close to one another, it is hard to have an intimate date… He thought my response was odd, which made me laugh because I would much rather prefer a delicious 

home made dinner. 

What would you guys prefer? Going out for dinner or a home cooked meal?
