July is almost over and I feel like I've accomplished absolutely nothing this summer so far. It's not even that I want to do something meaningful, but I feel like I haven't made this summer the best it could be. All I do is sleep, spend time with Jeff, and then go to work.
I want a vacation from this vacation. But it's not looking very likely...
There's a month before I start college! Yikes.

Alexander Wang is one of my favorite designers. I'm especially loving his handbags at the moment - the Brenda Zip Chain Bag in particular. And I just discovered in came in this pretty shade of pink!! 
[Retails at $725]It's so cute.

Another new magazine for me to read today - the August issue of Nylon. It's not really one of my favorites, cause I find most of it kind of boring since it's more indie. But I just originally suscribed because it was free via Urban Outfitters.
It's Sienna Miller on the cover by the way. There's two covers, and I got the one where she is pouting haha. I though Sienna was a name that most people knew, but apparently not. Both Jeff and my coworker were like, who? Well, she's going to be in the G.I. Joe movie, that's why she's on the cover.
[She's wearing Doc Martens in practically every photo]
Work was annoying today. A shitload of people came in today to register for ESL classes, but only a few can go take the test at a time. Some people kept hovering around the desk, staring at me!! They're so impatient and don't understand that I can't do anything about it. Gah. At least I only have to deal with it every other week, whereas last summer, it was weekly!

I love going to Target and wandering around, cause you'll always find something.
Jeff and I went there today after we ate a late lunch (or early dinner) at Bertucci's. There, we found yummy pasta, bad waitstaff, and an old friend.
After reading gossip tabloids and looking at various items, I purchased a new mascara and some foot cushions so I can wear my lovely gladiator wedges without dying.
I really like these two Hollywood Intuition handbags that were a special line by the boutique Intuition. I couldn't decide which one I like better...one is a purple satchel and another is a black tote with a colorful scarf.
We went to the supermarket after to return a DVD to the Redbox. But while we were there, Jeff wanted a drink. He decided to get a bottle of orange soda since it was only 99 cents, and then there was a 50 cents off coupon. When the lady rang it up, it turned out to only be 4 cents since it was something called a "double coupon". Awesome.
[Jeff loves his orange "crush"]
I love that it feels like summer. But I'm sweating like a mad(w0)man!

I finally got to go to the beach!! It makes it feel like it's actually summer. For at least one day, since the endless rain is going to come back.
When Jeff and I go to the beach, we like to mainly just lay there and tan. Well, he always ask if I want to bring a volleyball or something but I'm lazy. I just like to lie on his stomach and read, haha. I got a bit tanner and kind of sunburned. But it's not that bad. Jeff is really red in the chest area. We didn't notice until we looked in the mirror and started cracking up cause he looked like a lobster!
So after lounging on the beach for like two hours or so, we went to Brown's for some fried seafood. We went there last time too. We had the seafood platter, which is just a bunch of fried clams, scallops, shrimp & fish with french fries and cole slaw.
I really like going to the beach, but it's a real bitch to get up there to Hampton sometimes because of the traffic. I sit there and read/nap/dance to music while Jeff is slowly inching towards our destination. I love you, Jeffrey!
Surprisingly my face is burn-free. It must be my super-shades.
Jeff is gonna make fun of me for that one.

Oh, how I wish I could go. But sadly, I don't live in Japan nor am I planning on traveling there anytime soon.
One day...

Today, I got the July issue of Sweet I had to order from eBay because my regular site couldn't get it for me. It came from Japan so it took like two weeks. Which reminds me that I have to leave the seller some feedback.
This issue had Rinka (big surprise) on the cover, and the furoku was a Kitson pouch. It's like one of those pouches that you put your toiletries in when you travel. Only this one was probably smaller than usual. But I think it's really cute.
I also got the bathing suit I ordered from Victoria's Secret. But I'll save that for later. Maybe when I finally get to the beach...

I can't wait for Namie's concert DVD to come out. It's going to be AMAZING. 
09.09.2009~!!!

I always get home late-ish because of work. It's really nice if I have something waiting for me. Like yesterday, I got my Sweet magazine, with Namie on the cover! I like the leather vest she's wearing on the cover. It also came with a cute Gelato Pique pouch & hair scrunchie.
I think that's it for today. Boring entry, I know. That's what happens when the weather is rainy.
Oh, and Bloglovin is absolutely genius. I can't believe I never used it before. I've always looked at it and was like, eh. Now I'm addicted!!

The weather was so nice this weekend! Perfect for the beach...unfortunately, I didn't end up going. Maybe when the good weather rolls around again.
On Saturday, we went to the Natick Mall to get our exercise on. Since we're so lazy, we just walk around the mall for exercise. I didn't buy anything other than some Indian food & coffee from McDonald's. But I do wish I bought those sunglasses/glasses at Nordstrom...I also practiced driving a little with Jeff. We went around the library parking lot a few times before he allowed me to attempt driving home from there. So I got to drive on an actual street! It was kind of nerve-wrecking though - I was going like 10 miles an hour and the car behind me kept honking. But whatever. Apparently I do this swerving thing that gets Jeff really scared. So I didn't drive all the way home.
Yesterday, I went to eat dim sum with Jeff and then we walked around downtown and Boston Common. I was planning on getting my haircut but that didn't end up happening. I'm thinking about going somewhere different now. Hmm.
[Boston Common at its best]
[Drinking DD iced tea in the grass]Later that night, we stopped by the Italian carnival in Newton. We were interested in the games & rides, so we just bought food and left. We had Italian sausages and fried dough. Yum!
I'm currently at work with a headache. It's probably cause I haven't eaten, with the exception of some gummy bears & a bag of chips I bought. Now I have to sit here for 3 and 1/2 more hours...AHHHHHH.

Jeff and I decided to start our very own food blog! We always go out to eat at different places so we were like, why not?
It's called "Yummy In My Tummy". We came up with that name as a joke but it stuck.
