Wedding attire in the Philippines

So here is the only proper outfit shot that I got the entire time I was away. The humidity was too much for me to try and compose myself for a shot. I rarely brushed my hair or wore any makeup but here I am in my wedding attire. I picked this dress up in New York on my first visit to Forever 21. This pretty dress was only $22. I've kept it, waiting for the right time to wear it. So Joan & Karl's Wedding  on the beach was the perfect occasion. 

I planned to let my hair hang naturally but it got so hot that I eventually chucked it all up. Dark eyes and nude lips for a dramatic fresh look and I wore my fave purchase from Manila....my green and yellow geometric earrings. No shoes cause I left them on the beach. The hat was a necessity because of the heat and sun. We were lucky enough to capture the last few moments of the sunset. 

What's your ideal beach wedding look?

Big Love,

queen of hearts

On the weekend we dressed up for the beautiful Alexandra's birthday. It was so cold so I had to find something that was warm but still in theme. Queen of hearts was easy....a few pack of cards, some liquid eyeliner and lipstick and voila! Dressed to theme in under $10. Check out her delicious sweets.

We had fun dancing around, popping balloons with darts and singing Womack and Womack's "Teardrops". My sister was Pocahontas the birthday girl was the one and only Minnie Mouse and Kate was Snow White. There were various characters but I didn't manage to get many shots of the crowd. Too busy being silly I guess dancing around like lunatics. I love dress up parties. I should find all my old dress up pics to share with you guys. I love doing it on a budget as well. All you need is a little creativity! 

Snow White was a little cold. But she looked adorable.

Big Love,
