Dress and Necklace- Forever 21 // Bag- Lulu’s // Wedges- Target
Last week you read about what I did on Fashion’s Night Out and now I’m showing you what I wore! I was saving this yellow lace dress for a semi-special occasion and FNO was the perfect night to pull it out of my closet. FNO is basically one huge party/shopping event, so I wanted to look cute/fun, but still be comfortable since I planned to be wandering around the city for most of the night. Enter my trusty Target wedges, which add a little edge to the outfit yet are really comfortable and easy to walk in. A little bit of mascara, then a swipe of red lipstick and I was ready to go! Take a peek below to see a few more snapshots that Alex took throughout the night (and head over to her blog to read more about our night)!
(all photos above taken by Alex– thanks lady!)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

This looks like so much fun! I love your yellow dress and your nails, too!
Thank you Jackie! FNO can be fun, but also a bit crazy/hectic too!
Love your hair!

You have to teach me how to braid!
Yellow is such a pretty color on you :)
Oh, I can do a basic braid, but it was the awesome people at Arrojo who did this complicated one on me! Thanks Kim :)
Love that yellow dress on you!! Also still love that braid. I need to practice my briading skillz.
