FATshion Journal Blog by Lilly

Created using Photogrid It has been just a little under a year since my last Fatshion post... And I am happy to be back! I didn't realize how much the wedding was consuming my life until this summer. I haven't looked up a bridal magazine, wedding Pinterest board or wedding website in months! All my free time has been letting my brain zone out!  Like hello, space cadet Lilly! I have done nothing but vegge out and plan every weekend possible with something fun to do this summer! It all hit me last week when I was going through my pictures and realized that I had been saying - oh, I'll blog about that later or I'll post it on FB later-later... So I'm finally posting our pics on FB and blogging about some of my favorite weekend outfits.   That's what today's blog is about! My #ootd, at least on the weekends ;-) I reserve my weekends to feel my best and prettiest. I'm not sure why but at work I just let myself be super plain Jane. An...

Practicing for when we get older... It has been a while... like about a whole 13 months since my last "Vinh-Isms" post! Yikes! And it's not for a lack of them... trust me! I've just been lacking motivation to write my blog... But I am here, finally! Thanks to it being Take Me Back Tuesday and all! And this picture, there are certain pictures of us that just make me smile and this is one of 'em!  I have a pretty, "die-hard, frst time ever in Vegas" story and it involves a wheelchair... So while in San Diego, celebrating my cousins 29th birthday, again... My cousins loved rehashing that story and when we saw the wheelchair, we just had to... So as the drill goes, always a little backstory so that y'all may understand... Backstory: I love my ringtones to have personality! And depending on the flavor of the month and/or my mood, I change my ringtone very often. So in the middle of choosing my new ringtone, he says: "Yeah!!! That...

Via funnystatus.com A few weeks ago, one the greatest things to happen to the bay area since the San Francisco Giants won their third World Series in 6 years... The Golden State Warriors won the NBAFinals after 40years since their last win! It was amazing! My hubby is a huge fan and the Warriors are a part of our origin story... 8 years ago was the beginning of the "We believe" era and 8 years I began to watch sports center or listen carefully to the news when they would talk about the Warriors so that I could have something to talk about with the cute guy that sat behind me in my classes... I let him know from the get that I wasn't a basketball fan, well more that I never had a love for a team or the game as I did for the love of baseball and the Giants... He said something to the effect of... "You'll go to a game with me and you'll change your mind..." After a few months of dating he bought us season opener game tickets and no I didn...

The 3rd bear to hold my heart! #1 My Teddy #2 Corduroy bear When spending a lovely Tuesday night, with your husband, watching movies and bad reality TV and you're inspired to write! My name is Lilly and I am addicted to reality TV, more specifically, all of Bravo's Real Housewives-ish (Was never a big fan of the DC housewives, mind you, they only had one season) But to the point... Why is Pooh Bear to the left of this blog? Well, because about four days ago we spent #24HoursAtDisneyland... Yes! You read that correctly, if you don't follow me on IG, shame on you, SMH, but you would know that we spent 24 hours at Disneyland! We were there to kick off the Diamond Celebration #Disney60 - The park has been an American staple for 60 years! My first visit to the park I was still small enough to fit in a stroller, I think I might have been 3 years-old circa 1988 and my great, great grandmother, mi abuelita Juana, was there! Along with my grandmas, my parents, my aun...

The Invitation from Minted -  Photograph by Anna Perevertaylo   Hi Everyone! I'm back! And this is my first official blog of 2015! And as Mrs. Perez-Ngo! Holy chetos! Yeah soooo uh, I dunno if y'all heard... We're married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am ready to relive our wedding day with y'all! And we will! But first the thoughts that have been running on mind like crazy... Our wedding day was Awe-mazing! Like toot-toot honey, toot-toot honey, toot-toot honey!!!( I liked it so much I said three times:) It was 18 months of planning and you best bet your bottom dollar that I am STILL riding on cloud nine!!! And I wanted to thank the ladies who gave me some of the best advice! My co-worker, who messaged me and let me know to enjoy and really soak in every moment and to one of the sweetest souls, one of the groomsmen's wife, who swore that I would have a moment of zen as I walked down the aisle... And guess what? I totally did but even more so as s...

Rather than post after post on Facebook... I am going to "write" a blog about my favorite  commercials! AGAIN!!!Only this segment is my favorite Holiday Commercials - some classic and some newbies! Like always some make me laugh and some just #tear... Here they are, in no particular order... This one is just pure genius! I know it's the Holidays, as soon as this commercial starts circulating...   This one is a take from last year's Joe Boxer commercial and I like this one much more!  I'm just sad I wasn't invited to be in it! This one is simple! I love Bears!  Penguins are f***ing adorable! Who doesn't love The Beach Boys! And I love coke! Give. Live. Love. Folger's commercials always make me cry... but especially this one... The best gift is family and having people in your life that truly love and support you... I love this one especially because I can hear all sto...

Hi Everyone, So I wished myself a Happy Blogiversary and disappeared... There was an angry post I wrote but I might save that for another day. It's the Holidays and it just feels weird to post my angry thoughts. And it is safe to say that as much as I would like to be more consistent with my blog - it's gonna be more sporadic than anything, probably until after the wedding. It hit us really hard this past Friday, on the 28th--- That our wedding is officially FOUR MONTHS AWAY!!! Needless to say, I have been scaring the crap outta my poor Babo in the middle of the night because I'll wake up in the middle of the night with an anxiety attack! The nightmares can be anything from trivial regarding plastic untensils(As the MOH pointed out to me, "the woes of my life") to having nightmares of running like a mad woman in my wedding dress and then out of no where falling into the abyss. We have reached the point of no return and as most bridal magazines have s...
