OOTD: marshall "the herd" tee and cargo skinny

Jacket: Forever 21 Tee: Thrift Cargo skinny pants: Target ankle boots: Marshalls I'm getting better at posting things I wear from the weekend. I wore this out shopping. On the weekends it is tee shirts and jeans all of the time. My fave tee is this Marshall's the herd tee. I saw this tee and wanted it after watching the movie "We are Marshall." An inspiring (true story) movie about a football team having to come together after a tragic plane crash with team mates and coaches aboard are killed. This tee reminds me of their inspirational story.

mondays with mark: Genii MV inspired

Thanksgiving passed too fast! Did it not? I hope everyone enjoyed being with family and friends. Don't forget today is cyber Monday and Mark has deals still going on til midnight! Go to my store and check that out. *** Today I was inspired to do a look by one of the ladies from Lao pop group Genii. Her name is Thiphasone Tpv. (Let me know if I got the wrong name.) These three girls are gorgeous and talented. Check out there latest music video "Bor sai jai tee huk hao job." It is very feminine and fairy tale like. I was attracted to Thiphasone's makeup the most. She has a wing eyeliner (my fave), a pale pink cheek,and girly pink lips. See below my inspired look. (screenshots of Genii are from facebook and youtube) Overall this look is one of my favorites. It makes a great day time look! This look would work on anyone too. Products used: *get all these from my mark store* eyes: on the dot neutrals lips: glow baby glow in girly girl eyes/cheeks: showcase color

turkey day

It's tradition to have everyone over at Grandma's house for Thanksgiving. Take a look at all the homemade food. I have made it my own tradition to bring mac and cheese. This year I added a dessert, pumpkin cupcakes. If you follow me on twitter/facebook you may have saw it came in 2nd in Connextions Cupcake Wars. That meant nothing to my family ha! As the boys said "We will be the judges of that." I think they still loved it. You may notice food here that is non traditional. My family has an Asian background and we mix it! I love it because we get to enjoy the best of both worlds! To follow tradition we ate and next enjoyed the Packers and Lions game. Soon after we travelled over to our home to put the Christmas tree and decor up. After some black Friday shopping (not including me-i was working) the boys, bestie, and I had dinner with some drinking. Red muscadine wine-YUM! I tried red moscato too, soooo delish! I made a VLOG too. Take an inside look at our festivit

saturday show and tell

Happy Saturday! We're getting things ready for Thanksgiving. I'm making my usual mac and cheese for the family feast. I'm very excited to see all my family! Love our quality time. Here are some current fashion pieces that I'm loving:   This entire look is spectacular. The silhouette of the jacket is very feminine. Great fall/winter wear. These socks look so cute and comfy. This is a classic pea coat. I love my classic pieces. Great winter coat too!  This blouse and outfit makes for a great business casual outfit. The polka dot blouse is so chic.   A great casual look. I like everything about this street style! images from pinterest

FOTD friday: smokey brown

Happy Friday all! Hope you had a wonderful week.  This is a great smokey look for the day or evening. The fall season inspired me to do a brown smokey look.  I used Mark's on the dot neutral eye color compact . I'm really loving this palette right now!! I have mentioned wanting a neutral palette since setting my eyes on the Urban Decay's Naked palette. I was not lucky enough to get my hands on one. Then Mark came out with a neutral palette and it was perfect timing. Do I dare to compare?! My bf's niece Hoa purchased a Naked palette and we played like little girls with both the palettes. Check out both the swatches! Can you tell which is the Naked and Marks neutral palette? Guess which one is Mark and which one is Urban Decay Can you guess?!? Get your guesses ready... Did you guess them correctly? Both palettes are great, but if you don't want to break the bank purchasing Urban Decay's Naked, go for Mark's neutral palette ! I love it! The price and
