FOTD/OOTD: Double Happiness

HELLO!! I know it's been awhile again since my last post but I haven't had enough time in a day to post something...but I'm back! Hopefully during this week I'll be able to post more often since I'm FINALLY DONE with my history class. :D Now I can wake up a few hours later (YES!) and will only have to deal with managing one Japanese class. Yayy~

Been pretty busy with hanging out with friends as well as my mom (been spending a lot of time with here ^^). Yesterday, we both attended my her childhood friends' eldest son's wedding banquet. It was a lot of fun since I got to see everyone whom I kind of grew up with after I don't know how many years so it was nice catching up here and there. They're a really fun family too. ^^ It was the traditional 9 course meal and I was definitely stuffed!


FOTD: MUFE HD foundation in 118 (sample from Sephora; I like it a lot!), UD NAKED PALETTE, Physician's Formula Eye Booster Liquid Liner and Happy Booster blush in "Natural", Smashbox limitless liner in "14K", Lioele auto eyebrow pencil, Fairy Drops mascara base/primer, CG Lash Exact, WnW Mega Last lippie in "Rose Bud" 904B, and MAC lipliner in "Creme 'o Spice."

I also followed Suzie's hair tutorial on this braided updo. I like how it turned out. :D I got a lot of compliments at the banquet as well. It's a simple hairstyle that looks a lot more complicated than it really is (which I love!)


I didn't do that great of a job hiding the little rubber bands, but no one really saw the top of my head and...my hair is darker so it's not as noticeable.



On to the outfit~

LOVE these studded gray heels. I like how they're so edgy and how they can be worn casually as well. I had a field day trying to pick out these shoes since my dress was....

CHEETAH PRINT. :D

Picked this dress up from a local Korean clothing store. It's very comfortable on and it also can be dressed up or dressed down. I tried this dress paired with a cropped jean jacket and loved it! The cheetah print is actually printed on lace, which adds a softer, more feminine touch to the dress. (And I think the shoes really compliment the dress as well!) I also used my mom's old, patent leather octagonal clutch.


Cheetah print dress, DSW Gray/black studded heels, black patent leather clutch from my mom, faux pearl studs, silver beaded bracelet

Banquet pictures~

Everything was decked out in RED for good luck. Our table was 1959, and the song represents their favorite song of that year.


They had a local youth group come and performe with lion dancers and it was pretty awesome! I've never seen it performed so close before~ great entertainment to start off the night! There was also a part when they stood on top of each other's shoulders, reaching the top of the ceiling. Everyone was amazed~


Ending the "opening act" with the cute bride and groom. :] These two have been together since high school!


My mom and I. ♥ (I got the comment "OMG, you look...12!") Do I really? lol


Overall it's been a great weekend. Oh yeah~ and everything my job is straightened out so within the next week or two, I'll be getting paid for those two months. Yay!

Hope all of you guys had a great weekend! On to jump starting the week! LEZZ GOO~~!

  6. Cute dress and shoes! I love the hair, too! I'm going to try that once my hair grows out.  :)

    I get that comment too...Do I really look that young? =.=;;  People tell me I should take it as a compliment, and that it'll be especially beneficial when I'm older. lol

  8. Loved everything about this look! In your FOTD you were wearing more makeup than I've seen and it looked absolutely gorgeous. Awesome job on your hairstyle too. I love buying clothes from the Korean shop too. There some really great outfits that are both cute and stylish at the same time.

  19. THANK YOU, KAT. <3 :D 
    Agreed! And I alway say, whatever can be found in a small Korean/Asian clothing store most likely won't be replicated/duplicated on someone else. :D
