So the past few months have been super busy, my wedding took a lot of my time. I do not have many pictures right now at the time, since I am waiting for my photographer to finish developing them. Since I was in the process of moving, I was also packing a lot my items, and since half of my clothes was packed away, I was not putting together outfits.


 The whole wedding process was quite something, my anti bride barrier broke down, and I ended up with 2 bridemaids and 1 maid of honor, 4 flowers girls, 1 ring boy. A wedding registry, and dinner instead of lunch.  Things I was not so into before...but I am now glad I did it. However what was most the vital was we had a low budget wedding, so we did, with live music.

We had Kristine Mirelle play at our wedding, and she actually kind of famous. She was on the X-factor and made it pretty far into the competition. She and her band was absolutely awesome. I had the best night of my life. I do it all over again.

Getting married is FUN!!!!!!! Especially if your doing it with your best friend.

Happy 9.

So I been dating my fiance for a super long time, and he proposed during our lucky year..2013..somehow lucky huh?.:), than we wanted to get married in 2014, than realized we just were not ready, and really wanted to get married in 2015, so since I was the one with all the free time, I started looking around for a venue, and making trips to my local Catholic church. Boy....we still have a lot to cover. and still need to buy our wedding bands....we are almost there, we found a great venue, and our family been very helpful.

So every June 12, marks our anniversary. I would of gotten married this day but since I decided to follow my grandmother wishes to get married in August, I booked a date in August, how can not listen to the one person who took care of me when I was little. I did this for her, but its working out better, gives us more time.

The one thing that we shared today, was picking up our marriage license.

This lovely floral summer dress. With a lace top.

 I like the bottom of this dress.

Pink rose earrings.
 My white Keds.

 My rings.

Yes I have two engagement rings, and I feel so spoiled....but there is a story behind this. Before we were engaged, I alway told my fiance, I just love pearl rings..and rather have this as an engagement ring one day rather than diamond....I just don't want be like all the other fiances out there. I got my pearl ring on the day he proposed to me, to my surpise, I did not think he actually get me one, and he did!  My mother at the time, gave a hard time dating him, and plus I am not a big fan of the guy asking for permission from the father first...I just don't like this because I can make my own decisions, why get permission, and he knew this about me. Also let just say it was overall complicated when dating him...it not him, it was gaining my mother approval.  So it took me while to tell my parents I was engaged, and I showed them the ring, and my mother, along with the rest of family said you got to get a diamond ring, at least 1 carat....I was like really................I tried fighting it, but it was 10 against 2........he saw how much my family were pushing this request.....and he actually got me a diamond ring, but we were lucky to find someone who hooked up with a great deal..so happy. At first, I was afraid of getting diamond ring, afraid I like it more....and when I saw it, I was stunned by its beauty...I do like it more than my first, and it is prettier...I warmed up to it...and I told my fiance this with guilt, and he was totally okay with it.  They both have their personalities, and I store them in a box together to make them get along....but I consider both rings as my engagement rings...the pearl ring represent the engagement between him and I, the diamond represents the engagement between our families.....I went through this whole Vietnamese Engagement Cermony just to get my diamond ring.They are both beautiful in their own way, and I love them both.

Feb 7, Red Lobster

I totally love the holiday Valentines, because I love hearts, and romance. I dress in a lot hearts during this time until February ends, even after Valentine Day, and I don't even care.
I recently purschase this Heart-X-O-X bag. My Bath and Body Heart Coin purse goes well with it.
I actually don't spend a lot my hard earned money for such things too, lets just say, Goodwill has been my best shopping partner.

A recent craft I made was this flower, using my flower loom, the one I have is actually a vintage one, and may be hard to find, I was very happy when my fiance bought me this loom many years ago as a gift, I have made many flowers with my loom.

This is my favorite polka-dotted red dress. I found this dress many years ago, when I was out in LA with my fiance, we wanted to eat Z-Pizza because he had this really great coupon for it, and I don't remember what part of LA it was, but it was pretty interesting area, ended up walking around a bit, and there was this store selling these dress for a really great deal, I saw the dress, and knew I had to get it, orginally it was alot more than what I ended paying for, I got it for $20. I wear it in February every year now. It just goes so well with Valentines.

To help tone down the brighness and the polka dots of the dress, I like to dress with a black brooch bow, I purschase this bow at one the crafts fairs I attended. I am a supporter of other crafters out there.

Another item I purchased at a craft fair. I totally love heart shaped sunglasses, and would like to share you guys the collection of heart shaped sunglass, I have. Heart shaped sunglasses can be found online, and many are sold at Venice Beach also. They are commonly sold in the typical sunglasses stores out there.

A recent creation of mine, and it is actually made from old party cups.

So many of these get throw out every year from many parties, I collected them from a previous graduation party. My fiance saw what I was doing, and he was like, why do you want that? Since I also love recycled crafting, I tend to collect the oddest trash items, and as usual, my fiance frowns at me and gives his skeptical look, of "Huh?" It is quite entertaining actually. But those that understand my behavior, understand when they look at a piece of thrash, they don't see thrash, they see matierials.
Well the story behind these earring is, I took the cups and my lovely heart punch from Daiso, and pop-out many hearts. I knew I wanted to use these hearts one day. I also had many rose resins I purchased from etsy seller. Glued the two together along with an earring backing. Put them all together you have a lovely rose-heart studded earring.

The $1 store is my next best friend for shopping, and thank you all those hard working people in China working to make all those items for us rich Americans.
This clip is from the $1 store, but I ended up painting it red. I totally love it.

I love the beads I owe, I made a cute heart bracelet recently also for my Valentine theme.

The Women Jewelry Fair is one my favorit events to attend every year, and this watch was purchased there. I love the hearts it has on them, so goes with Valentines.

I totally love nail polish, and as a nursing major, one can understand that you love it even more when you are in the program since it not allowed to be worn while in the program.











I don't owe very many plain socks, but I totally love these heart arrow socks.

So its Valentine's season!!! And I made some red loop earrings for this occassion. So please check out my store: www.etsy.com/shop/thehappythings
