feel like a woman, wear a dress!

~ IT'S SPRING BREAK ~
Last saturday, my friends and I went to the museum, specifically to see The Journey of a Dress, but we also saw a bunch of other exhibits. 
We saw "Urban Lights" and "Metropolis II", an exhibit about football/soccer, an abstract art exhibit and an Agnès Varda exhibit.

Journey of a Dress

 

The Journey of a Dress was so colourful and well lit, you could tell they wanted you to take pictures.

 It started with a hot pink hallway that served as the wrap dress' timeline and, at the end of it, "Feel like a woman, wear a dress!" was written in pink neon lights.

 The hallway also led to another room in which art based on/inspired by the wrap dress and Diane von Furstenburg, the creator of the wrap dress. *angelic music*

We may or may not have dorkily analyzed the art to see what materials and techniques the artists used.

urban lights

Yes, these are the street lamps you always see in movies and yes they are super fun to take pictures of/next to and climb on. Being the mature young ladies we are, we did all three. 

Especially the climbing.

So this was a sort of city with I'd say, a thousand hot wheels that actually whizz around every hour. There were so many little boys staring with their mouths wide open or running around trying to follow the cars. 

It was little boy paradise.

That night, my family and I went to see Alan Partridge, a hilarious british comedy that I definitely recommend. It was so quirky, full of politically incorrect jokes, comedic (and sometimes awkward) situations and so many puns. The movie is even funnier than the trailer! To quote my mom, "I haven't heard a whole theatre laugh non-stop in a long time!" 

Long story short I had a great day!

What are you doing this week? Have you been to any museums or seen any movies lately?

it already came true

Today's my 16th birthday!!! 

Sixteen.

The age we all dream about as kids. The age movies make a living off of. The age I have now reached. 

No pressure.

In order to celebrate, I've had quite the weekend! 

Friday, my friends and I went to the food truck festival, a bunch of food trucks park on a street -- with really cool art -- every first friday of the month. Most of them were taco trucks. My friends had tacos and burritos from Chancho's Tacos and I had a bulgogi taco (some kind of korean-mexican fusion), and we shared two waffles: a maple syrup and powdered sugar one and a nutella one. Let's just say the food didn't last very long... One of the trucks was giving out free lemonade and we might have walked by a few times because it was hella good! It was a little chilly so we got really good hot chocolate at Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea.

Around 10 or 11pm we finally left and went to the pier as I'd never seen it at night. The ferris wheel was all lit up, it was so beautiful. My friends and I started dancing to Cha Cha Slide because come on, how can you not? After the pier, we headed home to pop confetti and eat vanilla, chocolate and red velvet Sprinkles cupcakes. There was a bit too much icing but the cupcakes were soooo good! The only downside is we bought a lot, not knowing how filling they were. (Its ok though, they're almost gone hehe.)

After the cupcakes, we got nice and comfy and watched the end of The Breakfast Club and started Sixteen Candles because it was the perfect occasion! We had to finish it in the morning though because we were falling asleep (even though we ended up staying up super late talking until dawn). 

May I just say though, if my future Jake Ryan is reading this, could you please show up on wednesday so I can point and mouth "it's the boy" to my dad as he gives me an approving hand gesture? 

That'd be great, thanks!

More posts about my weekend/clothes coming soon!
