Visiting Vietnam's Pink Church - Nh� th? T�n �?nh

While in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in Vietnam this past Summer, Andrew and I were on the way out from having lunch at The Lunch Lady, when we got to exploring the area and stumbled upon this amazing pink church! I can't handle how glorious the church is with it's bright pink color and Romaneqsue architecture; which was built during the French Colonial period in the 1870s and later refurbished and repainted to it's memorable pink color in 1957. It stands as Saigon's second largest church in the city and is one of the favorite churches alongside the Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica. I wished I could have gone inside but you can read more about the history and see photos of inside the pink church here! If you're planning on visiting Saigon, you must visit this church, here's how:

Nh� th? T�n �?nh (Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ/ The Pink Church)
289 Hai B� Trung, Phu?ng 8,
Qu?n 3, Th�nh ph? H? Ch� Minh

Telephone: 84 (0) 8 3829 0093
E-mail: vovananh@hcm.fpt.vn
Visiting Hours: By permission of Father V� Van �nh, from 8am-11am, 2pm-4.30pm Tue-Sat

Due to the heat and humidity (this was during July, yes, monsoon season) that I wasn't accustomed to, I  had packed plenty of loose and light clothing, but which also gave me coverage so I wouldn't be eaten alive by mosquitoes. My Michael Stars tops were perfect for this weather as they were not only light, but also breathable. For my this look, I styled a full-leg jogger pant with a loose tank (bralette underneath) and tied a long sleeve shirt around my waist in case I needed to wear it later to cover up my arms. My LeSportsac Small Edie Backpack, which not only matched the pink church, was the perfect travel companion; it was an easy size but held all my essentials, has a side zipper for seamless access into the backpack if I don't want to open the flap, and it has a main drawstring and flap closure which makes it's more difficult for pick-pocketers to open. See the details of my entire look below:

Kouture Tattoos Poolside in Vegas

I was so excited to receive these jewelry-inspired Kouture Tattoos sets because it was just in time for my spring break trip to Las Vegas. The metallic tattoos would be perfect with a bikini, glistening in the sun as I chilled poolside at the hotel pool. I chose a sheet of tattoos from Kouture Tattoos' Stolen Dance Set, and applied the tattoos to my arm, wrist, the sides of my body and ankle. For the two cuffs on the sheet I used, instead of applying to my arms/wrists, I decided to apply the gold tattoo to the side of my rib and the silver tattoo to my hip. They were easy to apply, but absent-minded me forgot to bring scissors and had to meticulously tear the tattoos from the sheet; so to save yourself all that hassle, be sure to have scissors on hand. I used a damp towel to dab water against the backing of the tattoo and it easily slid off revealing the tattoo against my skin under 30 seconds. The tattoos last 4-6 days depending on how you treat your skin. Check out the entire collection of tattoos here, they are perfect for music festival season; I know I'll be rockin' Kouture Tattoos for Coachella day parties during weekend 1! Outfit details:
