do u remember this dress?

after the long wait, i finally wore the coveted h&m maxi dress! :)



which was really UNintentional since i was planning on wearing a different outfit (my sister called it, "ridiculous!") last sunday night for a wedding at rockwell tent.

honestly, i just bought it last Spring (out of luck, since i saw it from agathe's blog weeks before that) so i could STARE at its gorgeous prints and nothing else. it was spring then, and shanghai has a reputation for awful weather. i brought it home on my vacation in manila last may, and forgot to bring it back again (w/c i totally regretted cos summer suddenly came in SH after i arrived).



and then i FORGOT even owning them. it was stuck at the back of my closet ever since.. until i had this "i have no dress to wear" moment and started pulling stuffs out of my dresser! take note: i was already teary! (@.@)

i didn't had the time to fix it (it's too long even with 4" heels!) so i kept pulling it up like a wedding gown! well, i honestly think it made some kind of a 'dramatic' effect, like "who's that girl in the gorgeous gown?" - unless that was my mind talking! ~haha.



to make the long story short, i'm just happy my sister pulled this one out because, knowing me, i'd probably wear it after 2 years!!

and to top it all, my friend (who's a makeup artist) was also 'just too bored' that day she played with me and my sister's face. i had always loved smokey eyes, but could't make them myself... so here,



i also liked what she did with my lips (nude beige + light pink) since i'm such a _____ with lip stuffs! (sorry, i took this picture after the party and eventually had it washed up & put lipgloss over) and did i mention she charged us for FREE? ilove it when people are bored! :)
