outfit of the day: love for boston

What I wore: borrowed Boston Tee from Lara, forever 21 pants, vineyard vines flip flops, belk's bag I wanted show my love for Boston over the weekend. I chose to wear a friend's tee. Thanks Lara! She is from Boston, and some other friends of mine are too. I just wanted to show love and respect. I hope they stay strong. The stories from that day are still circulating and touch my heart. We will definitely keep all of them in our thoughts and prayers.

life happens in an insta(nt)gram: visiting uncle K

  One of my outfits this past week. I'm wearing white house black market skirt and gap long sleeve sweater.     I cut my hair. Three inches were taken off. It looks a whole lot healthier now. I'm also using oranic hair products. In a magazine, I read that regular shampoos and conditioner have chemicals that can strip your natural hair. Which causes your hair to be weak and fall out. Hopefully, this helps me start growing healthy and thick hair.     Another outfit of the day! I like the brown and cream color combo. I was inspired by one of Pippa Middleton's outfits . Did you notice the necklace? My sweet fiance bought me this pearl necklace "just cause". I adore him and my new necklace/earrings.     I borrowed a Boston tee to wear this past weekend. I wanted to show my love for Boston and to keep them in our thoughts and prayers! Stay strong Boston!     I enjoyed visiting my uncle and several others on Saturday. His wife made th

painting our way into the new year (thai/laos new year)

8 years ago on April 11th, my fiance and I went on our first date. This past week we celebrated that moment. It's wonderful thinking back to 8 years. In less than two months we will become husband and wife!   (click photos to expand)     I saw a recipe on Pinterest for teeth whitening. I'm trying it out. I hope it works!   We started celebrating Thai/Lao New Year. We kicked it off at Wat Buddharam in Charlotte. Happy New Year to all! I enjoyed shopping and eating at Wat Buddharam.       I met up with my girlfriends for dinner at Uncle Buck's and a night on the town. It was great weather to walk around town.       My brother has a a home/property business. He asked for some help to come paint one of his homes. We turned it into a paint party. It was another beautiful day to open the doors and windows to paint. I think we did a wonderful job and my brother was very happy to get helping hands.     Please pray f

outfit of the day: vibrant green

what i wore: ralph lauren long sleeve, old navy pants, belk's bag, gifted pearl necklace I love that Spring weather is here in our area! Every Spring my staple are these vibrant green colored pants from Old Navy. It's still chilly in the mornings, so pants and tees are good to wear around. I wore these out to run wedding errands. That's my life, call me "wedding errand woman"! Thank you so much for reading! Thanks for all of your patience, it has not been consistent posting, but thanks for your support. =)

wedding wednesday: rings and bearers

We have 2 months and 4 days left! The fiance and I went ring shopping. I enjoyed it so much! I was in a candy store. The pearls and diamonds were fantastic. Could I just have all of it, please? We tried on wedding bands, and purchased both of ours. The Tacori jewelry caught my eye, (top right) the drop earrings were my favorite. I also could not keep my eyes off of the pearls (bottom right). My fiance needs to purchase all of that for me, haha. Souwan tried on more bands than I did. He went back and forth on two bands. (bottom left) I was pretty easy, trying only one on. "I be on my suit and tie" (Justin Timberlake song) This song came to my mind when seeing my ring bearers. They are just the cutest!! Since they are little men, their tuxes had to be ordered and shipped. Since they are kids and growing it was better to wait closer to the date. I finally get to add these too! My cousin, an usher, came home from college and got fitted. And below is my father-t

epic easter

epic easter...never too late =/ Over the weekend I ran some wedding errands (look for wedding wednesday this week!) with my fiance and family. Afterwards we treated ourselves to a sushi lunch and some pina coladas. It was a beautiful day! Hanging out at Easter breakfast with friends and family. My cousin Na mustache you a question! haha! She's got a cupcake frosting mustache. Spring flowers for Easter. We attended Easter service, what a great service!! We all enjoyed it. It was good to see family and friends. A great blessing! I saw so many lovely Easter dresses/outfits. Everyone looked so nice. I wanted to share my Easter dress. Great sale at Belk's!
