my lady river

heyyy you remember when i said that i couldn't wait for spring to come to san diego because of all the cold gloomy weather lately? yea, it's here now c[:
beautiful weather and my usually weed-y yard is showing some kind of greenery.
lately it looks like they've starting dispersing their seeds since a small field of little white tufts have showed up in my backyard. and also dandelions :] i love me some dandelions :] and little bits of fluff always spring up after a small gust of wind. they kinda remind me of milkweed when i went to camp a couple of years ago. it actually looks kinda romantic :3 [[in a weird way, considering they're weeds haha]] but whatever, beauty is in the eye of the beholder ;]

o yea, and also i'm starting to think my backyard has become a ladybug hotspot. i can't turn one way and not see at least like, 3 lady bugs. it's kinda ridiculous o___o and while normal people would love this, i'm not their biggest fan. haha. i mean, they're cute and everything, i'll admit to that, but i just don't want them on me. lol
but amongst the weeds some flowers still manage to grow [[including myself ;D haha]]


all in all though, i'm glad "spring has sprung" :] that means beautiful weather and beautiful weather=cute dress and skirts! >:D
speaking of which, howdya guys like my skirt? ;] cute right?? it's actually not mine, it's miss amber's from modest june and she and i are wonder twins! >:D
lemme esplain: we met last year via a clothing swap and she realized that we were practically the same size. clothes-wise, shoe-wise and even height-wise! [[hence the name wonder twins. well that and cuz we're wonderful ;D lol]] so after a while, i thought since we're the same size and everything, why not do our own little clothes swap? just us two! and obviously she agreed and thus, WONDER TWINS WAS BORN! >:D
she suggested for our first swap we send each other "surprise outfits" and this cute lil skirt was one of them! :3 [[stay tuned on her blog to see what i sent her ;] ]]
the color is just lovely and i've been wanting to wear more skirts lately and this is just what the doctor ordered ;] [[thanks amber! :D]]
and like always, i'm excited to see what the future holds with this as well :3

i just want to let you all know, the anticipation for spring is killing me!!
i can't wait for the weather to start warming up and have it call for dresses, skirts and shorts :] [[i love my skinny jeans and all, but sometime yo legs just gotta be free!]]
but for now i'm just gonna have to work with transitioning :/ working in spring/summer pieces with semi winter clothes... :sigh: o well, the time will come soon rosslyn! just need to be patient...

i felt so flower child-y laying/sitting down in the grass in my cousins' backyard trying to get some good shots in. i also felt a little bit like belle from beauty&the beast where she's chillin in a dandelion field. only im surrounded by grass...haha





i always look forward to this time of year whenever green starts to show. despite the fact that a lot of them that i'm around are weeds =___=; but whatever. green is green :] and i always make a point of having some kind of excuse to go outside and just hang out in my cousins' yard or in mine.

i've been pent up inside pretty much the whole winter! how can you blame me for wanting to get my nature fix? ;]

o yea, and it was my cousin Eliza's "golden birthday" yesterday so her sister and her kids came down to celebrate. and every time i want to take outfit shots at their house and the "babies" [[i have a lot of nieces and nephews and i call these ones "the babies" :3 ]] are there, my nephew tristan [[3yrs]] always insists on being my little photo assistant and likes to carry my tripod :]

he and his sister isabella are actually big hams in front of a camera and she too is also a part of my "mini photo entourage" lol

these kids are awesome and are actually pretty good at taking digital photos [[kids these days...]] and posing. guess it runs in the family ;] haha jk.

but yea, spring needs to be more like "I'M HEREEEE!!! BASK IN MY NATURE-Y GOODNESS!! XD" till then i'm gonna try and tolerate the cold [[it was 60 degrees today. yea i know, im a whimp. i've been spoiled by SoCal weather lol]] and don my shorts/skirts how and when i please! >:D...but then i'd probably have a change of pants in my car just in case. lol :]

what're you looking forward to this spring? :D
