Sakura Matsuri :: A Centennial

As always, I'm in random places gathering alllll types of inspiration.. This weekend was no different as we celebrated "One hundred years of the gift if trees" at the National Cherry Blossom parade and Sakura Festival. 

Some of my favorite shops were out and about selling goods, including Stuffed Sushi & I Heart Guts. If you HAVE NOT checked these brands out, please do! You won't EVER be sorry. 

The synopsis is a very abbreviated one. It was great! The fashion was fun so, of course, street snaps happened. I also became a ninja and met a new friend. It's ALL here, I swear! Just scroll down ;-D

 

The street snaps were THE most fun since it was like an anime convention in the streets with lots of cosplay and Japanese street fashion. I got to talk to a lot of people & smile & say thank you & smile ... LOL Really, it was just good vibes and a great day to say "Can I share your look with people?!" Check 'em out!

  

  

  

  

OH! And about me becoming a ninja ... I SO did that! We've got video to prove it BUT when you see it don't laugh. All ninja have to start somewhere ... that's the Ninja Code (i think?! LOL) Really, it was a horribe mess and I am not fit for such line of work, but you can judge for yourself ;-D 

    

Last but not least, that random friend I met is right here! Unfortunately, she didn't speak much English and I don't speak Spanish, but all in all, we both understood "I love you" and we exchanged information. Sounds silly with a major communication barrier, but we both agreed to try to keep in touch. For what? ... even I don't know, but she was so kind, and randomly, that not putting forth an effort would just be silly.

Now for the big question ... How do they celebrate the gift of trees where you live?

Til next time!
