Holiday from Real

Hello!
See those two beautiful photos of the sky up there? That was yesterday...

Today, it rained, all day.

I am just starting to regain warmth and feeling in my toes again! Of all the days to rain, it just had to be the day Robert and I went to LA/Santa Monica. Despite being cold and wet through out the day, it turned out to be such a lovely day! I only bought two things: a floral top and a pair of oxfords both from Urban Outfitters, and both will probably be worn tomorrow. So I didn't get to spend my gift cards from Forever 21, but we're going to a different Forever 21 tomorrow so hopefully I'll find something there! I'm determined to get all the shopping out of me before school resumes on Monday since I really need to focus on school.

This is the cute headband I picked up yesterday! I've been looking for a red bow for so long, and this one is even better since it's sequined! So this is what I wore to walk around Third and Fourth Street in Santa Monica today. I was planning on wearing a skirt since we were thinking of going some place fancy for dinner, but it was windy and rainy and it's easier to try things on in shorts.

As I said, it was raining so sadly, I didn't get too many shots of the city. I did get a lot at the Santa Monica Pier though! They're not the usual sunny beach pictures, but I love the way they turned out with a rainy sky. The beach is one of my favorite places, which is why I don't think I could ever leave California. I could watch the waves rise and crash all day, everyday. I want to live along the beach one day. The next time Robert and I go to the beach I'm going to bring a tripod so we can get those cutesy, cheesy walking-along-the-beach-into-the-sunset photos! :)

We ended up not eating at some fancy restaurant but endured the traffic home to eat at one of our favorite spots in our home city. I cannot wait until the next time we go to Santa Monica on a sunny day, which might be in a month if we go for our third anniversary. But I think I'd like to go into the heart of LA and visit Hollywood and walk along Melrose and Sunset Blvd next time.

I am quite disappointed I didn't get more things today. Robert thinks the reason I can't seem to find anything good in stores is that I don't need anything, and in some sense, I think he is right. I have more stripes than a zebra in my closet and enough cardigans to clothe a senior center, but I don't think this is going to stop me from shopping for the rest of the week though. I seem to be on the hunt for something...I just don't know what it is.

Until next post,
Jasmine

  3. Don't forget you can always try F21's website. But of course you can't try things on and the shipping can eat up the gift card so quickly!

    and you look lovely even when you're in the rain (especially with that bow). i never do, probably since i refuse to use umbrellas.
