It's too hot here! I've been living in tank tops and shorts every day. Between meeting up with these two lovely gals and hanging out with family, I haven't really done anything too spectacular during my time here. I'm pretty sure I've gained a few pounds and every attempt at exercise has been undermined by my inability to leave my air conditioned house. Oh well. Wore this out a few days ago while I desperately wished the shops in Old Town and Paseo were in an indoor mall. Walking around in the sun was impossible! I've been having a bit of a dry spell when it comes to shopping as well. Not really sure what I want anymore to be completely honest.
I explained this on my Twitter but in the end I found a pair of Jimmy Choo frames that were too good not to take home. They're super light while still being different from any other pair I've owned! Maybe I'll buy the Oliver Peoples glasses sometime in the near future. In case anyone was wondering, I would have gone with the tortoise shell frames! Thanks again for all the suggestions! And just for kicks, here is a super short clip of me repeating a certain Japanese phrase my friend Melissa taught me after coming back from a year abroad. There's more to it but it's way too embarrassing T_T
Finally, since I can't resist, here's a few photos from my last sushi adventure at my favorite sushi place, Ichima, in Pasadena. I need to get my film developed so hopefully there are a few gems in there! Fingers crossed! Expect a post tomorrow or Thursday.
ps. Is anyone else getting self conscious about how many times you use exclamation point in a post? Not gonna lie, I may actually talk like that. My voice can get pretty high pitched, right Lulu?

My obsession to dried mangoes has started once again.
Back in LA when I had easy access to Costco I used to buy the Philippine Dried Mangoes every week and finished the whole bag in less than three days. I wasn't able to get my hands on dried mangoes eversince i moved to SF but guess what my ingenius bf found at walgreens? Dried Mangoes!
dreary on geary
The weather seriously went from sunny to depressing in the span of an hour! Earlier in the day we had been walking through town looking at apartments and crossing Golden Gate Park sans sweaters but once dinner time rolled around a pretty nasty fog did as well. After snapping at each other a couple times due to hunger we finally braved the weather and walked to a local BBQ joint to check it out. We got the Q combo for two with choices of four types of meats and three sides and we actually managed to finish it all. At least three people looked at us in disbelief as we proceeded to consume everything in front of us! We take our food adventures quite seriously.
Today's my last day in the bay for a few weeks and although I'm looking forward to better weather and spending time with my family I'm going to miss my Pika. I'm also sad I'll be missing out on the Chictopia Clothing Swap next week! Someone MUST organize an LA blogger meet up soon. Who's in town and up for a little shopping in Pasadena or downtown? Email me!
oliver peoples lukas eyeglasses
I'm going to my optometrist on Monday and need help picking new frames! I currently have a pair of dull black framed Gucci ones but I want something different this time around. I've had my eye on these Oliver Peoples frames but can't figure out which color I want! Part of me really wants to try something new and go for the crystal frames but is that too much? I need opinions!

Topshop sent me an email saying they were holding a contest with chictopia where people need to take pictures with a bike and the winner(s) of the contest receive free bikes.
However, since I don't own a bike, I decided to improvise.
Unfortunately I think I turned in my picture a little too late since the contest is over on Friday and it's been going around for a month or so.
Aimeeways, for those who would like to enter the contest you can do it here.

Just got back from one of the cheapest and delicious sushi restaurant ever with my lovely friends after our somewhat long bus ride to a soon to be hookah bar/restaurant that we are going to design and renovate.
One of the few other reasons why I love SF : You appreciate beautiful 72 degree weather like today.
Hope all of you lovely people are enjoying summer and have a great week!
Love, Aimee
lazy day in the park
Lazy outfit for a lazy Saturday in Dolores Park. I'm really starting to get attached to the cut-off shorts + boots combination! The weather seemed to change every 20 minutes until we finally gave up and left when we realized that the clouds were there to stay. When I posted the previous outfit on Livejournal certain people commented that the boots look out of place since it's summer. Summer? Here? If you count 65 degrees as summer, sure...
However, even if it's not nice and sunny, lounging around in the park is still as fun as ever while hanging out with friends and meeting new people. Pika and his roommates are trying to get an apartment in the Mission so wish them luck! They currently live in the Outer Richmond area of San Francisco and although there is the option of walking to the Haight, the area right outside the apartment isn't really happening and they're looking for something different.
On a final note, I just booked a flight home for next week! I'll be in LA/Pasadena for two weeks until August so hit me up. I can't wait to finally be able to shop without sacrificing meals... oh, college! Speaking of which, I still can't believe this is my last year here. Part of me wants to whiz through the year as fast as possible but the other part is reminding me that I should live it up while I can before being thrust into the full time workforce.
simplicity at its best
I really regret not having booked a flight to Japan this summer when I had the chance! I guess you can blame it on my inability to stomach long flights across the ocean. In any case, I'm really into Trip's aesthetic and their women's line Prit. I'd love to be able to reduce my wardrobe to a select few simple key pieces but I'm way too fickle to do it at this point of my life. Maybe when I hit a certain point in maturity? Who knows...

For those curious readers who were wondering why must I stay in SF despite the fact that I don't like the city? Too Cold.... haha
I was born and raised in LA. A city where 80-90 degrees weather is absolutely normal and anything below 70 is considered chilly. SF on the other hand is always below 65 and when it's somewhere around 65 it's considered warm... plus living in SF really makes me miss grass and trees. basically anything that is green minus weed. lol
pika picnic part two
Went on another picnic with Pika today! The last time we went on a picnic when we had first started dating he prepared bread, cheese, and fruits plus the little macaron surprise! This time he made roasted pepper and goat cheese sandwiches with pesto. Instead of Golden Gate Park wee ended up walking to the Presidio and enjoyed a nice view of the bay as we feasted on delicious sandwiches. It's so nice to have a boyfriend who cooks and feeds me like this! No pictures of me since I'm not feeling very photogenic...
Back in SF
My long vacation that consist 13 plane rides has finally ended.
So happy that I don't have to take any more planes (unless I decide to go to the Frey's concert this month) at least for a couple of months but I'm so sad that I'm back in SF. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude by giving myself reasons why I like SF but they don't even add up to 10 things. I could give you probably an unlimited reasons why I love Mexico, Kentucky, and LA though haha.

Btw, I will update links and reply to emails no later than this week.
Hope ya'll are having an awesome summer!
Love, Aimee
