sweet valley fox


I want summer to be here so badly. And with Wildfox's new summer collection, it makes me wish it was scalding hot even more! So sick of New England, I'm definitely moving to Cali one day.

rainy day, cozy robe


I thought jury duty would be at least a bit interesting, but it ended up being a total bore. I don't think I'm supposed to talk, much less blog about this, but there's really no confidential information...I basically waited for four hours in the courtroom as the judge called everyone up one by one to determine their eligibility to be a grand juror. As my luck would have it, I was number 134 out of 136 people! When I finally got up there, she excused me for being a full-time student. UGH WHAT A WASTE OF A DAY.

However, I was able to stop by the mall after for a quick, late lunch. Also bought a cute pink-and-white striped robe that reminds me a lot of all the cute roomwear that Gelato Pique or Barefoot Dreams does. It matches a bunch of the fuzzy socks I have :3

a spring weekend

On Friday, Jeff found this little restaurant in our town that we decided to try out for lunch! It's called "Strip-T's", and we got some sandwiches for lunch. It was too messy to take a photo of the food, but I did take a quick snap of the place. I want to go back there and eat-in (since we got takeout this time), and try their breakfast/dinner too!

On Saturday, we tried another different restaurant for lunch before work. This time we were in the mood for Asian so we went to Hanmaru, I think is supposed to be Korean but they also served other types of Asian food. Jeff got ramen and I got udon, so I guess we were feeling Japanese-y. Saw that they also had fried ice cream, which I love, so we got that for dessert!

Today, which is Sunday (technically Monday I guess), Jeff and I decided take a quick stroll at the mall. I didn't think I'd buy anything since we only went to Arsenal and Target, but I couldn't resist...got a cute dress and some jewelry from F21, a pair of sunglasses from Aldo, and a pair of wedges from Target! The sunglasses and shoes were a good deal - $3 for the sunglasses, which is a cool round pair that I've always wanted, and $20 for the Dolce Vita for Target wedges :)

Also stopped by Russo's with Jeff's mom at one point and got some mini cannolis. Hehe. And also got some frozen yogurt late a night because I wanted a reward for all my hard work! I didn't take a photo of it though cause they ran out of strawberries and it looks plain without them!

I need to go to sleep soon - jury duty calls. Oh, the perks of being a United States citizen.

smile, you are amazing

The sun is starting to shine here in Boston, and that makes me oh-so-happy! However, according to weather forecasters, it's going to snow on Friday. Seriously?

Today was enjoyable, though I wished I had more time to shop. Before my annoyingly-scheduled 6 PM class, Jeff and I stopped by the mall for a quick dinner (?) and just enough time to peruse a couple stores. I actually didn't plan on eating until after class, so I bought a drink and mini doughnut. But then Jeff needed to eat too, so I ate a chicken sandwich from a new food court place that opened. Isn't the doughnut adorable? Looks can deceive though; it was the nastiest doughnut I've ever tasted. Thanks a lot, Starbucks.

I was tempted to skip class so I could shop more thoroughly, but I was only able to skim H&M. I did purchase something though, a maxi dress! I have another one by them I haven't worn yet, but I just find maxi dresses awesome. This one is super comfy and just the right length for my 5'3" frame. I'm considering going back to get a couple more because there were other designs I was trying to choose from. But I don't like having the same clothing items in different colors/prints, you know? Such a steal at $13 though!

Can you tell I'm trying with Blogger?
I even redid my layout, even though it's still at a amateur level.

03.25


I think yesterday might have been the earliest I've gone to bed in forever - 10:30 PM! Woke up around 5 AM and watched some more Grey's Anatomy before heading out to the Mercedes Benz dealership to get Jeff's car's rims fixed. Service at a luxury car dealership is nice, hehe~ We got complimentary paninis and walked around looking at nice cars. Afterwards we went to the nearby plaza mall where I contained myself and bought one shirt. I broke my spending freeze already so oh well! I'll still try to keep it under control. When we got back, we kinda took a really long nap and now we're doing laundry and watching more episodes of Grey's. We're kinda obsessed with this show.
