wat lao buddhavong july 4th fest















(this photo by www.nyenoona.com)

We travelled to Washington DC for the annual July 4th festival at Wat Lao Buddhavong. The festival had a lot of Thai/Lao food, shopping, music/concert, cultural education, and fundraising towards lao landmines, and unexploded ordnance -MAG.

Many people showed up to the festival despite the storm that took out power for so many and the miserable heat (111 degrees). A senator of Virginia attended the festival along with some well known Thai singers. One of them being Maitai. My mother waited for approx 4 hours in the heat to hear him perform. I did not make it long enough to see him so my aunt caught a photo of my mom and the singer. (her blog www.nyenoona.com)

It was hot, but a fun day at the temple. Coming soon photos of the rest of my DC trip. Stay tuned!

outfit of the day: casual denim shorts and sperry's

what i wore: cynthia rowley tee, american eagle shorts, thrifted belt, juicy couture bracelet, belk's charm bracelet, old navy aviator shades, sperry's top-sider boat shoes. I wore this out for a few errands with the fiance. My car battery needed replacing, I have worn that thing out. Ex. leaving it on while taking naps during lunch. Don't do this ladies. Ha! This look is so comfy and definitely a repeat when I'm running around town.

outfit of the day: american i am

  what i wore: express button up, francesca's collection many a day skirt , payless nude peep toe heels, and belk's pearl necklace/earrings.   I wore this look to the office and to lunch with some friends. I had a half day at the office and wanted something office friendly, but comfortable/casual to go out to lunch with some friends. I'd say this worked out perfectly.      american i am by lisaanatha featuring tahitian pearl earrings Forever 21 forever21.com Abercrombie Fitch scalloped skirt abercrombie.com G by Guess flat pumps macys.com Nadri knot jewelry lordandtaylor.com Tahitian pearl earrings endless.com
