lady gaga for V

Lady Gaga has a fashion spread in V Magazine! Just though I'd share a couple photos:





I hope my sister buys this issue so I can see the rest of the spread!

recent weather calls for hunters

The sun is shining today in Boston, but I hear that there will be some scattered thunderstorms the next couple days. I should really invest in a pair of rainboots, but they're just so clunky and heavy. But sometimes Hunters can look surprisingly chic, not awkward.

The most difficult thing would be to choose a color. There are so many options...

independence weekend

This year, my family decided to go away to New York City for a couple days. We drove up Friday morning and had lunch with some family friends in Flushing first. Then we went into the city and checked into our hotel before going out anywhere.

The main reason we went was because my sister and cousin wanted to check out the Museum of Modern Art. So we dropped them off somewhere on Park Avenue and let them find their way there. The rest of us decided to wander the city a little bit. As exciting as NYC, I'm not a big fan. I don't deal well with loads of people. So we stayed out of the areas with swarms of people for the most part.

We met up with my uncle afterward and he took us to a restaurant his friend owned in Brooklyn. The food was a bit more exotic than what we've had in Boston. It was pretty tasty, but his friend went a little overboard with all the food! I was stuffed. All of my uncle's friends smoke so my sisters and I went out to the parking lot and sat in the bed of his truck. The weather was nicer there than Boston so it was a nice change.

The next day was spent entirely in Chinatown. My older sister and I separated from the rest of the family since we had no interest in pastries and cute toys. What we did was check out all the bubble tea shops and looked for our fave magazine store...which was GONE! It was a bit sad.


[My sister and I making faces]

After we ate, we were on the road back to Boston. We got back around 8:30 - just in time for 4th of July fireworks!! Jeff picked me up and we went to his cousin's house the next town over. They always have a barbeque and their house is right in front of the park where they light the fireworks every year. It wasn't as spectacular as the year before (no money?!?!) but it was still a nice sight. We have some fireworks of our own, but have yet to light them. And they're illegal in Massachusetts...teehee.


[Fireworks!]

The weather's looking a bit better now that July is here. Yes!

EDIT: I added the photos!

craving...



I saw this photo and it made me want some strawberries. Luckily, there are a box in the fridge. So I'm going to wash them and write a real update on NYC later.

why won't it stop raining?



It rained all of June, legit. Now that it's July, I really hope the weather will turn around. It's still been raining so far though. BLEH!!!

Rain makes me tired...so I do a lot of sleeping. Today Jeff and I decided to go to Providence, Rhode Island to go shopping. Really random. We went to Providence Place, and got food at Popeye's, which was a bit disappointing. We walked around all three floors, but that was disappointing as well. The selection of stores were the same as anywhere around here, but the stores itself weren't as great. I'll stick to shopping here from now on. But it was still fun!

It's Independence Day on Saturday. Or July 4th, if you prefer. I'm going to New York tomorrow with my family. I hope the weather there is a bit better.

And on that cue, I need to go pack.
