Viktor's Gatsby Birthday Party

My friend Viktor hosted a Gatsby themed party for his 30th birthday! It was nice to see all my friends dressed up. The men in their finest suits and the women in their gorgeous dresses. It was also very intimate, which I liked. It gave me a chance to say hi to everyone there (or at least the ones that was still there when I arrived) I came 2 hours late, but I still had a blast!


Before heading out to Viktor's party I googled and youtube how to do my hair. I usually ask one of my talented hair and MUA friends, but today, it was all me! I knew I really wanted to sport a faux bob. It took me several tries to get it right. Teasing, curling, pinning, and getting volume. It turned out ok. The picture doesn't look like it, but it took me a solid hour to get that bob to stay in place!!


For the dress, I wore For Love and Lemons San Marcos Maxi dress I got last year. I bought it for a fraction of the price when they had their warehouse sale. Was $288. Got it for $60. What a steal!


Make up. I usually wing my make up and just add whatever color as I got along, but just to be safe, I googled looks from the roaring 20s. Smokey purple eyes, bold dark red lips, cat eyeliner... yup. Paired it up with a feather in my hair, blinged earring, a blinged bracelet, and a necklace by Senhoa. I don't think I did too bad. In fact, I think I was pretty impressed with myself.  Good job Leena!


Remember how I told you I was 2 hours late to Viktor's party? My friend Phuong Mai showed up unexpectedly. I invited her to the party, but she was hesitant. Since her boyfriend wasn't going to be back til late, we decided to go ahead and have dinner and coffee. Best decision ever!


After we parted ways, we went to Viktor's party. The rest, well, the photos will speak for itself.






































Viktor says he'll post the photobooth photos up soon. So for now, here are the ones I have on me.







Happy birthday Viktor! Thanks for having us!!
