Buttercup Escapades

Monday, November 24, 2014

Everyone! Michelle turned 22!! Yes, she is feelin' like Taylor Swift! To celebrate, we dressed up to head out to a trendy restaurant, and of course, we had to have a fun photoshoot. We both went for the classy-yet-sassy look, because that's how you feel when you're turning 22, right? Again, please excuse Vivian's puffy face — she's still recovering from her wisdom teeth being pulled out! Happy birthday my dear, Michelle!

With the both of us working, it's been difficult to find time to hang out, even as roommates! We have to schedule girl time. But when we do, we always go all out (or at least attempt to). Today, we decided to have tea time at Lisa's Tea Treasures, a quaint tea shop located in Santana Row in San Jose, CA with the most delicious pastries and teas. Of course we went for cute and girly outfits to fit the occasion. Also, please excuse Vivian's puffy face — she just had all four of her wisdom teeth removed. But do notice how fly we both still look.

Hello world! We are Vivian and Michelle and we are beginning our escapade into the wonderful world of blogging about the things we love — fashion, makeup, recipes, and balancing that with our newly begun work lives!

We thought we'd start off with a cozy fall photo shoot highlighting the warmth of cranberry tones against the orange fallen leaves. This photoshoot was done in November when we began to brainstorm our blog ideas and although we are no longer in Fall, we think these looks are still perfect for the cold weather and the orange foliage. Vivian chose a simple look with a vivid cranberry lip, while Michelle went for a bold outfit and more muted lip. Details on what we are wearing are listed below. We hope you enjoy!
