Hanami & Haul

Hi hi everyone!

Just a bit of a fun update/haul. 
First things first, to get into the spring mood...I present sakura (cherry blossoms):

 Mini Sakura forest...sadly only a few areas were in bloom yet.
 Ooooooh ya, close up
 Sky and tree views
 Everyone enjoying nice weather and pretty blossoms

Feeling springtime yet? I dragged myself to go see them bloom (finally!!!) today...and only spent literally 5, maybe 10 minutes taking pictures before I left. I am ridiculously allergic to these things, and even being there for that short a time and wearing my face mask, I am still drained! Those pretty evil things must have still gotten into my system! Can never trust sakura lol

But all in all it was worth it!It was my first time seeing the flowers in DC (I saw them once before in Japan...complete torture lol they were everywhere!). Oh! And the metro station (at Smithsonian) had sakura stickers on the fair gates. Very helpful since I had no clue if I was going to the right place or not :)
Feel bad for tourists these past few weeks though that had come to see them, but alas it was too cold for them to come out yet. If you're ever near DC around this time you should definitely go see them! Just be careful...they can cause horrible allergies...at least to some.


On to my mini haul...I am currently obsessed with green!
And not just any green, but light, bright, and pastel greens. They just scream spring and create a very mature, sophisticated style.
I know. I know. These two are practically the same color...and actually I think they are...but I love this color!
On the left is a silk camper shirt version while the right is a casual sweater version with buttons down the back. Both totally necessary right?

And then complimentary jewelry. 
I don't really wear silver jewelry (actually never), but I couldn't resist this matching set! They remind me of something the Queen of England might wear...and so I call them my crown jewels (I'm such a dork). 
But I like these with the green shirts for a more mature Korean style look (If you don't know what I mean by that go watch some Korean dramas!).

All four of those were from Ann Taylor. Lastly are just two things I ordered from Ebay eons ago. 
These two are more Japanese style items *yaaaay*

Out of pure laziness I am just going to use the product page photos from the Ebay sellers (boo me). 
The first is a Liz Lisa tote bag that came in a magazine. Most of the free bags in magazines are the little lunch size totes but soooo happy this one is full size! It fits so much inside and I love just tossing crap around in it
Cat Ear (neko mimi) Headband!!! I absolutely looooooove it. It's way out there...and when I wear it I always forget and wonder why people are staring lol. But it's okay, it's such a great accessory and super adorbs!

Well that's it for today. 
This has been the hardest post to make so far. So drowsy from being outside...spring kinda sucks in that way eh?

More soon, 
Love,

Sierra Anastasia
