Last month was another successful/eventful month. I have to say, it ended perfect with the surprise of a lifetime. Well, it wasn’t a surprise for me, it was for my boyfriend! I helped put together (with my cousin, Jena) a birthday party collaboration for JP and her sister, Jackie. Although, Jackie already knew it was a party for her, JP had no idea we were scheming for him. It wasn’t TOO stressful, but it was hard keeping a straight face in the past couple weeks of planning this because I’m for one a pretty bad liar. But I was able to keep the secret all the way until the night of! It was funny because the closer it came, the more JP noticed I was being quite odd. I just so badly wanted it to go smoothly that I tried my best to act like everything was cool. Other than my anticipation and excitement, it was an overall success! Here are some of the pictures of the night.

I didn’t get any solo pictures for my outfit post, but I still wanted to share what I wore at the event with these group shots. I got the dress for less than $10 at a local thrift store! When I first saw it, I was in love! It had sequins and lace, it looked like it’d be a mermaid-fit dress and for some reason I felt like I had to get it! I just never knew where I’d wear it to! Alas, I figured I’d go all out for this event and the secret I told JP was that this was for an event for LLL. Sneaky sneaky aren’t we? (: His facial expression once everyone yelled, “Surprise!” was priceless.

The night went well. There was music, beer pong, drinks, smiles, and good company. Glad everyone came dressed to the theme. Thanks everyone for making this night a success and everyone looked absolutely stunning!
