Went away to New jersey, Long Beach with Chin and his family during the labor day weekend. They rent a house nearby, and also to celebrate his aunt's 65th birthday. I always enjoy myself when i am around his family. Chin was playing with his two nephew, and got hurt with a twisted ankle. I didn't bring any swimsuit along due to the weather are not warm enough for me, but still enjoying the sun tanning/lying on the beach and chit-chating with his family. Awesome barbeque ribs and chicken wings. An ideal and perfect labor day weekend for me :)

WEEKEND DIARY.  Summary of my recent two weekends together in this post.

Dinner at The Mermaid Inn at East Village on Friday night. Happy hour oyster deal is just so hard to say no! Their happy hour is Monday-Friday, from 5-7pm. We ordered 14 east coast oysters and another two $3 fish tacos to share. By the end of the meal, it came with a complimentary delicious chocolate pudding. Saturday, we went to Madison Square Park for BBQ block event. The lines seem crowded than last year, and the price jump from $7 to $9. We bought two different baby back ribs from different stalls, and i am not impressed with the flavor at all :( At Sunday, we went to Williamsburg for flea market, later visiting my new found bakeri/bakery shop that have cute secret garden, with their homemade bread and pastries. Cant wait to go back and enjoy the relaxing noon with Chin :)

Last Saturday,  we went to watched IMAX 3D "Man of Steel" with Chin and his cousin. Lunch at The Smith, and then walked around Central Park. Sunday noon, walked to Soho for the famous "cronut" bakery by Dominique Ansel. Of cause the cronuts sold out within 1 hour of their opening hours, but i am glad i came because it have good bakery/pastries and nice outdoor seating. Ordered 10 piece of fresh made Madeline, and iced latte, with a magazine to spent the noon with. Aw, what a lovely Sunday noon :)

ONE DRESS TWO WAY. My absolute favorite white dress from Club Monaco i got three years ago. I just want to show you guys a different way to pair a simple white dress. First (left) is casual work-wear where i paired it with crop denim jacket and my ankle booty. Second (right) is my weekend casual-wear, also as grocery shopping outfit where i layered it with Zara stripe sweater and flat loafer. 

Hope you like it! :)
