liberty & chambray for all

another outfit from the long weekend.  i  decided to go the colorful route for a casual dinner sunday night, mostly cause i was hoping all the color would distract people from my sunburned legs (which doesn't look as bad as it felt).

i've gotten so much wear out of this liberty of london for target dress, after all these years i still think that was my favorite target/designer collaboration.  remember back when it was actually possible to get something from those target collabs?  ohhh, those were the days!  i won these shoemint wedges back in february during the pose/shoemint valentines day contest.  it took awhile for the prize to arrive in the mail, but it was well worth the wait.  i love the shoes, they are the perfect color & style for the summer!  are you ready for summer yet?  do you have one summer staple you pull out every year?
    

roses, puppets & cacti

oh did i have quite a busy saturday!  started gloomy and early with the bf's graduation from csula!  so happy he has finished!  it started raining during the graduation so we went home to take pictures and all that.

after the graduation the bf had to go to band practice so my mom and i went over the the huntington in pasadena to see the john frame exhibit and walk around the beautiful gardens.

after walking through the rose garden, herb garden we made our way to the john frame exhibit, three fragments of a lost tale.  the exhibit shows the puppet like sculptures and short film john frame made using the sculptures.  it was an incredibily interesting and the sculptures were so detailed for the small size.  i was eavesdropping a bit and heard one woman say it was not quite her taste, however i found it extremely interesting.  the tiny pieces that frame creates to form the sculptures are incredible and no detail is spared, even the fingers are moveable.  i would have loved to touch the pieces and see how each one moves.  photography wasn't allowed inside the gallery so i couldn't take any pictures.

we left the gallery and the sun had finally come out!  before we left we went to check out the desert garden, which i have to say is my favorite garden.  the colors and shapes are beautiful.

three fragments of a lost tale will be at the huntington until june 27th, and i highly recommend it.  for more information on the artist check out his website here and you can watch a little making of video below:
