Roses and Tulle.

Redopin tulle tank top dress. Sparkle and Fade open-knit sweater. Necklace from Forever21.
Gift with purchase tote from Bloomingdale.  Sandal wedges by Nine West. UCLA Class of 2010 ring.

First of all… I hope no one is overly offended by my fondness for overexposed lighting in photos. I don’t know, something about the brightness really draws me in and makes me feel like I’m floating. That said.. on to the actual pictures and blog post itself… themselves? I don’t know.

So. An adventure. That’s what I went on today. My friends and I took the morning/early afternoon off to go to the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens… and… I promptly ruined this tulle dress by stepping right through it. D’oh. We’ll have to see if I can fix it!

It was a really unseasonably hot day.. though I should have expected it given it’s, you know it’s California… but I always want spring to stick around a little more. I think I tanned about 3 shades today. Oops.

I love this new Redopin dress that I got in the mail from Korea. It’s fantastic. Too bad I ruined it right away. But ah well, it was perfect while it lasted. It’s not too poofy, and it’s got this wonderful movement because of the layers and the tulle. It’s the perfect nude-peach colored dress for spring-summer. Hopefully I’ll be able to fix it…

Hey boy, can you keep a promise?

Luckily, we took these photos before my dog decided to give my thigh a good chew/mauling, or you’d be looking at massive amounts of blood and bandaging right now. Plus it would’ve been impossible to stand in those shoes then. Yeah. It’s finally starting to look like spring in California. Or summer. We kind of skip over the spring part and go straight for the 90-degree weather. It’s killer. It’s like 105 degrees in my room because my room seems to just be a hot house in summer and an ice box in winter. Fantastic. But at least now I can bust out the summer wardrobe!

We took pictures in the street which I think is a first for me. It’s very pretty though the lighting sucks (was kind of gray) and there were gnats everywhere. I wanted to kill myself. Me and nature, do not mix.

The title is from Namie Amuro’s latest album. It’s a collaboration and it is amazing.

I promise we will just chill… just chill.

Sandal wedges, Nine West. Bracelet, Forever 21. Heart pendant necklace, BCBG.

It was really cold today. And breezy. Even California winter has its biting moments, I guess. Wearing this dress in the dead of winter is not fun, even in California. It’s a great dress though, and I got it for $19.99 at an H&M. There is no losing to this. I’ve been looking for the perfect silky smooth maxi dress, and I think this is it. Paired with a nice metallic brown belt, it’s going to be great for all-day events this summer. Summer cannot possibly come sooner!

The decision on how to name this blog post literally was completely random and Bollywood inspired. Sherry and I are obsessed with the Indian film Dil Bole Hadippa! lately. I’ll probably write more about it in the future but seriously it is the crackiest of cracky fun. It’s super crazy and colorful, with fantastic dancing and hilarious situations, as well as funny music. Seriously it is so fun. Anyway, the conversation that went towards naming this went something like this:

11:42:44 PM Aimee: ahh what to title this
11:45:40 PM Sherry: lalalalalalala
11:45:49 PM Aimee: seriously?
11:45:55 PM Sherry: No ;o
11:46:08 PM Aimee: now I kinda wanna name it na~ nanana na na~ na na~ na~ katamari damacy.
11:46:15 PM Sherry: ….
11:46:28 PM Sherry: PEOPLE WILL NOT GET THIS.
11:46:31 PM Aimee: sigh
11:46:34 PM Aimee: awesome people would
11:46:35 PM Aimee: lol
11:46:37 PM Aimee Pan: or
11:46:43 PM Aimee: bhangra, beds, beers, and bird-meat.
11:47:04 PM Sherry: Or, Just chill-chill, just chill
11:47:04 PM Sherry: xD
11:47:09 PM Aimee Pan: hahahahhahaa
11:47:29 PM Aimee Pan: XD ahhhh bollywood, never stop being hilarious ♥

All in all, “I promise we will just chill… just chill” is the best ending to a love letter, ever.

I’d also like to note that I’ve added my blog to bloglovin’, so I’m going to be putting bloglovin’ buttons at the bottom of my post to remind people of that. If you already have bloglovin’ and use it, you can follow me here! I’ve also added various share/like buttons to my blog so that you can share this with anyone you’d like to or via Facebook/Twitter. Hopefully these come into usefulness for someone!

it’s time to let go

Doing a summer dress shoot in 40 degree weather is not fun. I think it’s time to admit it’s winter, even in California.
