Wednesday Weekend Rewind: Congratulations Anna & Phong

What a crazy long weekend it was.  Kicked off Friday night by packing a few things for a road trip back up to the Bay Area to visit my cousins.  Well, more like her Engagement party!  eeeekk >_<  can I be more excited for the wedding?  Yes, I am overly excited!

I wish I could have visited my great friend Lora, I miss her so much.  I really hope she is doing well.  The weather was crazy cold, bone chilling cold.  I don't think I could ever move back to northern California.  I love the weather here in southern Cali, much preferred.

Set out Saturday morning and made it up there in about 5 hours.  Later that night, we headed out to San Francisco to take my little sister and her boyfriend to Fisherman's Wharf.  Yeah...Bay area, way to cold for a So cal girl.

If you ever make a trip to San Francisco, visit Berkeley Hill.  The hills have spectacular views that overlooks the valleys that surrounds the San Francisco Bay.

Sunday's Engagement party, and the house was full of family and friends.  If I had to guess I say there was well over 100 guest, full house.  Weddings always make me teary eye.  But nothing beats seeing my auntie ball her eyes out as her baby girl is all grown up and looking beautiful.  I wish I had my camera, it was such a happy day.  That same evening, we set out on the road back home and made it back to LA just before midnight.

My outfit to the engagement party...

 Forever 21: Dress $13.50
Fergalicious: Black pumps $29.99


Even though it was 55 degrees cold to my bones, who says you can't find a nice dress for under $20?  Or $15?  The black shoes are the same pair I wore for Chinese New Year, repeat pieces are always fun.  Half the people at the party dressed up and the other half of the people attend in casual or not so dressed up attire.  But I figure since it was an engagement party, it's always better to look a bit more put together than jeans.  It is a celebration.

What do you wear to an engagement party?
