a day with a chu

08-16-1008-16-10
hope oversized cropped tee, old lux skirt, united bamboo booties, fjallraven kanken backpack

These aren't really the best photos of this outfit but they're the most decent ones in the bunch, even if they are horribly overexposed. Here we are walking home after a long day running errands downtown. This day was actually special for me since it is the second time in three months that we've been able to spend a whole day with each other (I always had work on his days off). The weather was actually decent, a little chilly at times, but still much warmer than most of the days we've had in the city.

I had to post these photos, they're too cute. I love this boy so, so, so much, even if he loves to wear ridiculous things (like these oversized leopard print sunglasses) to piss me off and is always teasing me about silly things. I wouldn't change a thing about him after nearly a year and six months and I'm super excited about finally getting to spend whole days together! I think our next adventure will be lunch at Wayfare Tavern to try Tyler Florence's attempt at making what he calls the best burger in San Francisco. Alright, TyFlo, I'll be the judge of that. Either way, I'm just happy that Brenty and I can finally go on cute little dates together, I really needed that.

tartine
tartine

Spicy turkey and three-cheese pressed sandwiches from Tartine. I missed this so much. I've mentioned this before but Tartine is only five blocks away from BF's apartment and back in the day we'd always walk there for morning pastries and coffee. I guess you don't really appreciate these little things and tiruals like these until you can't do them together anymore so this sandwich was especially delicious. I love sitting outside and watching people as they walk by, San Francisco is full of such interesting/weird/awesome characters. I can't wait to move to the city when I graduate.

Funny story: I was so annoyed with his leopard print sunglasses that I made him put on his roommate's Ray Bans for the photo. I guess it doesn't matter anymore since I posted the other photos anyway. Oh my silly Pikachu, I still love you even if you are a bit much sometimes.

annabel, i was wondering if you knew of any designers who made eyeframes like Oliver's Peoples. I'm asking because I remember you did a post contemplating which Oliver's Peoples frames to get but ultimately decided on Jimmy Choo. Where do you find these designs??? I need new glasses! Thanks

Carissa said...

Percy Owl said...

I like those glasses - similar to round but not TOO round, if that even makes sense?
Also, why does everyone else's food always look good?
Dates are fun, especially when you have been together a fair while :)

I need to know where I can get ahold of sunglasses like yours; three neglected sunnies just because my face is too round. JEEz...

Rosa said...

There's something mesmerizing about those huge shades, the fact that its so darkly tinted that it suggest mystery yet the huge size of them just bring a bit of balance from that :)

Georgia said...

Hmmm in one picture your skirt is purple, the other green. How odd, must be my iPhone playing up. Weird. Buuut, love the hair. A lot. And damn you just got me hungry
It would be mine

I've been a silent reader for more than a year now (I think) and I think it's time for me to say something.

I love your blog.

You probably get that a lot, but I like you. You seem genuine and you don't seem like the sort who'd swim along the tides of conformity. Your style and mine are so different, yet I visit your blog every other day. It could be the pictures (love the post on your DSLR btw. I just got a Canon 500d and I AM CLUELESS) but I also think it's because you're a total foodie. I WANT TO GO TO SAN FRANSISCO. heehee (wait, is that where you are?)Food looks sooooo good.

ah well. I really love reading Blushing Ambition. Hope you'll continue blogging and document bits and pieces of your life till the day you die. heh.

and you and the Pikachu are so cute together! I WANNA GO ON CUTE DATES TOO. Sigh. No boyfriend, no talk. haha.

lots of love,
Fathin.

Sandra said...

Lovely pictures and the food looks super-yum! Happy for you and your boy as well :)

Megan said...

You both are adorable with your sunnies! I love your new hair cut if I havent said it a million times already! Great lunch as well!
