Pre-Thanksgiving

Happy day before Thanksgiving! I'm sure all of you are running around buying your last minute food items and cleaning up your house for all of your guests, and if not, I'm the one that's doing that. Tomorrow will be full of fun festivities with the fam. You can guarantee that pictures will be posted. It's a white v-neck kinda day with dark skinnies and a scarf to keep me warm while I'm out doing errands. Have a Blessed day!!

Fun. Flowy. Floral.

I hope you all had a beautiful weekend! Saturday I worked until 3:30 p.m. then I rushed home and had only 15 minutes to shower, change, and do my hair because I had to leave to go to a church Thanksgiving event. Thankfully I already had an outfit planned so I just blew dry my hair, put it in a tight bun and did my makeup in the car. Whew. I took out the bun and I had beach-y waves which eventually turned into looser wavy hair as the night went on. I ate so much food at the event and I told myself, this is only the beginning of the "stuffing my face" festivities. 

The first picture is of me and my cousin who is dressed up in traditional Hmong clothing. I was going to wear my Hmong clothes but had no time to put it on because it takes about 230948230 hours to put it on. Everything is hand stitched and embroidered to make each piece unique. My dress only cost me $20 and I was totally rockin' out on my $5 shoes. I am in such adoration with this dress. It's so comfortable and feminine. I'm so excited for this Thanksgiving vacation to come. It's going to be filled with lots of family, food, shopping, and dodge ball. Bring it.

City of Brotherly Love

Happy Friday! Went shopping on Walnut and Chestnut Street in Philadelphia the other week. Bought a couple things from Urban Outfitters and Zara. I just gotta say that I love Philly. I saw the Liberty Bell for the first time last year and it was just amazing to see such an important piece of history. The art museum is a great place to visit also. Plus... you get to run up the steps where Rocky Balboa ran up.  And you can't forget about the infamous rivalry of Pat's and Geno's cheesesteaks. I have to confess that I have yet to try both of them. Another great place to visit is the Reading Terminal. It's a building full of different foods such as Middle Eastern, Greek, Fresh Amish grown produce, jams, candy, pastries...and seriously so much more. My recommendation if you go to the Reading Terminal is "Dinic's Pulled Pork Sandwich." This place was featured on Travel Channels "Man vs. Food" and when I had it, it was purely heavenly. I still have lots of other places to explore in this beautiful city. 

Under the Weather

I finally have a moment away from homework to post up a look. I wore this just yesterday to school. Dressy much? I know. I have a theory though; when you're feeling under the weather and the actual weather itself is not inspiring and motivating, DRESS.TO.IMPRESS. It cures everything.

 I also must boast about my shoes. The other week I was at school and I realized that an art show was happening that night. I literally had nothing appropriate packed with me. All I had were the jeans and top I had with me. So I ran to the mall looking as hard as I could for something fitting for the show....and cheap. Found an amazing dress that I've been eyeing that was $30, got it for $20. The shoes above, got them for a steal of $5. Thats right, $5. And can I just say that I was so proud of myself. I'll post up the dress in a future post. 

M.I.B. (Missing in Blogging)

Hello Beautiful People,


I've been lacking on the posts lately due to school and work. School has been so crazy lately. I have four classes; Graphic Design, 3-D design, Fashion Draping, and Drawing, and I have project after project for all of those classes. So as you can imagine I am going crazy running around finishing all of these projects while at the same time trying to fit time in to do something called "eating." 


Be blessed.
