Huntington Library
I went to the Huntington Library today! I’ve been there lots of times, but this time seem more fun than before. My favorite part was the atrium because they have a lot of new exhibits to look at there were more hands-on experimenting. You can smell and feel plants, and look through the microscope!
This is called Redemption. Looks kind of scary!
Haystacks. I really like this picture for some reason. I think because it looks so calm, but inspiring.
I like the colors! Looks like a lot of fun! I didn’t catch the name of this one…
This was actually a bigger picture, but I liked this one part of it.
Koi! I love they way they move their mouth.
What?
Kamiya Dojo! I think of Kenshin when I see this. My house in Sims2 look a lot like this! I’m going to build something like this if I’m ever rich.
The willow is one of my favorite trees. It’s so gloomy and elegant.
I’m sorry for the 7-8 people that were erased from this picture.
This is what it looked like before. Flipping back and forth is pretty trippy. If only it were so simple to remove people in real life…
The Chinese Garden
I saw long hallways like this one in China, but they were about 10x longer.
Sooooo pretty!
I think someone was feeding the ducks even though they weren’t supposed to…
The Atrium ceiling. I want an atrium in my house too.
No, the picture isn’t upside-down. This flower grows that way! Cuuuuute. I don’t remember the name though <: (
I like this kind of space. Large floor to ceiling windows and wood flooring.
Hello Mister Sea Cucumber! You were not very yummy. Mister Peking Duck served me better. At some big Chinese restaurant in Diamond Plaza in Rowland Heights. Found it: New Capitol Restaurant. If you spend more than $30, depending on how many people you have in your party, you get free food. We had 5 people so we got a free 2 pounds of either lobster or Swimming Water Shrimp. We got the shrimp. We actually went to this place for lunch either for their dim sum. It was really good! They had a lot of variety and not too expensive.
Out-of-place modern home
I was with my parents near school on Culver and I spotted this crazy house. 
In a land of uniformity and strict laws, known as the Irvine Company, this is pretty wacky. What the heck is it? What prompted someone to do this? I don’t even remember seeing construction here. 
That is a waterfall. This looks like something I would build on Sims! So weird. I like houses like this…but the colors are a little weird and it’s too out-of-place. I’d like to see the interior.
I want this dress!
I didn’t want to lump this entry with the other fashion post because this is in another class. I saw this dress at South Coast Plaza and I fell in love with it instantly. Too bad the price is so high though!
So I tried it on because it’s free to try it on! I’m usually a size 4, but this fit a little loosely on me. Models are lucky because they get the dress tailored to them before they walk. I don’t have a tailor in the dressing room…
The two lines on the bodice are actually 2 black elastic straps that you have to stretch to the back of the dress and clasp them together. It took me awhile to figure that one out. I was like “uh…why are these stretchy bands just hanging down the front…is this couture?”
And a couple days after I drooled over this dress, I saw it in a magazine! My tastes are in good company.
The price tag: $500.
Fashion Art
I think I’ve talked about how I love fashion, but I’m too sensible to buy it, so I end up taking pictures of it? Well, here is what I’ve acquired lately…
I’m a fan of tokidoki, but not of their prices. Loehmann’s has finally received a shipment of these and they are sooo much cheaper. I think they are about 70 percent off. But…I still didn’t buy them. They’re only 17 bucks compared to like…44 bucks original price. I’m still thinking about it though. The sweater is $29.
These are really cute in person.
