Spring Break, Kiddos, and Ebay

So I have taken upon myself to enjoy my 1 week off with the additional 4 days along with it to rest, exercise, do the work I need to catch up on, spend time with family, do things I enjoy, volunteer and watch hours of mindless tv.


So I always volunteer at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, which is a very lovely place to visit, I believe there is free admission days. This Spring Break we had workshops for the kiddos and here is a few photos from it. It was Earth week and nearing Earth Day so we wanted kids to explore the various lands, do arts and crafts, and do scavenger hunts. I had tons of fun.





It was so much fun and I love volunteering and hanging out there.
On my way to my friend's home to chill with strawberry daquiris...
Dont you see like cat's eyes?

Then the train station. I love when the trains run outdoors so you can still see outside.

On train :) With my new Versace shades. And a closer look at my favorite Lucky Brand Bee and Flower Dangle Earrings.

Gotta have my fig newton. :) During that day, I forgot to eat.

Arent construction sights during this time of day, so aesthetically right?

Ode to Terry Richardson.

Later I drifted into Marshalls and found these bags I love:
This Cole Haan, good quality and doesnt it remind you of someone we all know and love?

This one was a find! I love the influenced material and the way it can make a minimalist outfit be popped.

And finally, Im doing my spring cleaning, de-moisturing the closets, moth balling it up away from those pesky moths, and selling some things I have on Ebay. All crisp, great conditions, can be from new without tags or pre-owned but tried on once, or worn a few times but still has lots of life.

About time I make space. New Leaf is growing, called Spring into Life.

Sakura Matsuri 2010 at Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Sakura Matsuri was for Saturday and Sunday. (I could only go on Sunday for the whole day but Saturday for a little bit because of the Temperley London Spring 2010 Bridal Collection, which Ill discuss in another post)

If I were to tell you that a festival is a small function I would be underestimating by the thousands/hundreds. I happen to love the Sakura Matsuri which always comes around early May, it was actually my first year where I am the volunteer of the event. It was a blazing sun with sweat and tons of trips to the bathroom, tons of cold icy water to hit your face and throat but it was worth it. I worked in the patio gift shop and saw tons of cosplay characters like Sonic the hedgehog hats, geishas, yukatas, kimonos, asian wear, Sonya Blade, Sesshomaru, the chain gang, and lolitas and goth lolitas. It was awesome meeting new people and helping out others.

Everyone laying out onto the grass and enjoy the festival. It definitely reminds me of Coachella. Plus the beer there haha, I can not have any but tons of people got sake, water, tea, and tons of sushi! They even had sushi pillows.


Then the manga library was nice with the artists, the comedy of Uncle Yo XD (that dude is sooo hilarious), so many cameras, bonzai museum, the cherry esplanade stage with performers and classes and workshops about japanese culture.

The Ultimate way to end a weekend was today at the Sakura Matsuri under the blazing sun with a nice Hinata Hyuuga cosplay and an oriental fan/parasol which has nothing to do with your cosplay but looks wicked kickass. Truly a magical event! I hope to see everyone again next year. (For cosplayers, see you at June or September for comic con and anime fest!)


I took videos but I have to upload them later. No pictures sadly but these are pretty good. (thanks from the respective owners), i didnt bring the Nikon but had the HTC phone.
