I’m a huge fan of minimalism in the spring. Keeping your palette neutral and canvas clean, gives you more room to personify your wardrobe with statement pieces here and there, shoes, bags, mounds of accessories, etc. I’ve recently become addicted to watching hair and nail art tutorials on youtube and think it says more about a person when you see simplicity in the package as a whole but complexity in the tiny details. So, here are two AMAZING examples of brilliantly executed nail art. I’m still trying to perfect a few of my new favorite hair styles and will share as soon as I get everything together but in the meantime, feast your eyes on
Stop It Right Now’s beautiful Miu Miu and Chanel inspired nails! Sigh*

Jealous* Humph.

Until next time,

Had another “moment” at Tommy’s the other day.

Since I didn’t get a chance to put up my second outfit last night, I’ll go ahead and put the rest of the pictures from the wedding up! My favorite outfit was outfit numero dos, the purple dress… my “Bond Girl at the Roulette Table” dress. Simple, clean lines, great color and an interesting backside. The gold dress practically bled royalty and was by far the most comfortable gown of the evening but I guess “no pain, no gain” - cuz I still loved the purple dress more!

For those of you who haven’t noticed… my tats disappeared! I got in touch with one of my old instructors at the Make Up For Ever Academy in Taipei and she did a brilliant job covering everything up! Picked up a couple more tricks of the trade while she was… pampering me!

While I was running a muck trying to get into my third and final outfit…

Hope those aren’t Mamosas!

Oh, Lerche - I can’t escape your antics no matter how hard I try! (>0<) - Cheesy mic cover I know.

I was a complete mess during Sami’s speech!

Van’s great at putting Brandon on the spot… hilarious speech. Bravo Van!

LMAO - I love this picture! Name of the Game: The Bouquet Draw! Look at Carmen’s face! She wants it bad!
Congrats to Mimi for tuggin on the right ribbon.

Look at my face! Colin fill the “That Guy” void… better him than someone else - Life’s a party, right?!

For those of you that are still in school… like moi, you know that it’s that time of the semester when ALL of your professors take advantage of your “springbreak hangover” - or in my case a wedding hangover - and pile on as much work as humanly possible. I’ve had three major exams and two research papers due within a weeks’ time. I’m happy to say that I darn near slapped my English professor with my research paper (which has grown in width to the size of an encyclopedia within the past week) when I turned it in. Might I mention thankfully… it’s finally out of my hands and into hers! So now that I’m free from being held in academic captivity, here are some pictures from the day of my wedding… I’d like to add that since I’ve tied the knot, I haven’t stopped eating. Not for a second. Binge eating is the best thing that’s ever happened to me! I’ve got some heifer-ific footage to show you guys… as soon as Brandon decides to upload it, I’ll upchuck it for you. Hehe.

Due to the fact that there is such an outrageous number of photos I’d like to share with all of you, I’m splitting the day into three posts… the number of outfits I wore on the day of!

Outfit #1: Pretty in White


Total diva moment - it’s actually more exhausting than people think!

Scalping Carmen with roses - sorry Mama!

Bridesmaids: check. Flower Girl: check. Maid of Honor: check. Ceremonial Gown: check.

Groomsmen and Best Man: Check.

Last minute photo-op in the fitting room!

It’s been a extraordinary past three weeks since I’ve last made a post! I think the easiest way to cover the highlights of my adventure to The Alter and back, is breaking the events up into separate posts.

As I had mentioned before, the weeks leading up to the wedding had taken a huge toll on me, which I assume is to be expected when you’re juggling your jobs, school, travel plans, family and wedding plans all at once. It’s like a monstrous 100ft rogue wave of last minute “must-do’s” that comes out of nowhere in an effort to sabotage your glorifying “I do” moment. This was definitely a one-time-deal for me… I don’t know how those women handle getting married more than once. Can I get an Amen?!

Prior to leaving for Taipei, a few of my girlfriends took it upon themselves take me away from all chaos for a night of complete bliss at Mesa. Nothing but girls, Raspberry Bellinis, great food, orgasmic dessert and a shocking game of “I’ve never”. The four of us couldn’t have had a better time and I’d like to thank them again for saving my sanity!

Sarah got an “A” for effort in an attempt to get herself into this shot - while taking the picture.

Best Raspberry Bellinis EVER!

You know your friends love you when they get you…

A McDonald’s Arch card (>(oo)<)

And enough lingerie to open your own VS branch.

Structured-corset, H&M; Jeans, Diesel (DIY studs); Pearl ring, F21.

I never understood my lady friends who insisted on having a “Girls Night Out” once a week but I think I do now. It’s actually quite therapeutic - it was great getting away from our men, our work problems and personal frustrations in exchange for a night of some healthy gossip, cocktails and laughs.

Until next time,
