Saturday was beautiful so we spontaneously decided to go to Rockport, MA for some fresh lobster. Rockport is very quaint, with some small beaches and art galleries, but it boasts an amazing lobster shack. I knew I was going to be covered in crustacean juices, so I chose a simple outfit:
After stuffing ourselves with fresh seafood, we walked down the street to a small beach. Most of my swimwear is from the same line – the Victora’s Secret Miracle Bra line. I think their push-up tops work quite well, plus the pads are removable. I can fit in 32A or 32B.
These lobbys were not nearly as tasty as the ones we had on Sat, thus I had no regrets using the meat for sandwiches. Two 1-1/4 lb lobsters yielded enough meat for about 4 rolls. I chopped up a few tbs of scallion/onion/celery for some flavor and crunch.
you are soo lucky your bf takes such nice photos! I can totally tell when you take them of him and the difference haha
Bahhhh, so jeal! I so wanna eat lobster right now =/ (sad I don't eat it more…I work on top of a great seafood restaurant, lol).
I so want that skirt, I need to try it on, hope it doesn't make my hips bigger =/
Your bathing suit is so hot!! I think I own one item that's military green like, and it was a hand me down from a coworker, lol. I sooo need more color selection in my closet =/!
Hi PAG..I can't tell you how thrilled I was when I found your petite fashion blog. Just wanted to drop by to let you know that I enjoy reading your blog and venturing into your stylish wardrobe.
I saw that skirt at H&M;, and I think it looks very flattering on you! Brave girl for wearing white while eating crustaceans 😀
I'm quite envious of your Lobster weekend! I miss my Boston days and eating fresh lobsters.
i luv ur h&m; skirt… and the lv speedy bag! i have one in other style!
Great pics! What a fun weekend!

FTF – yup the earrings are H&M;, but they wre $5.95 I think : )
Sophia – you should go! It's nothing special, but not bad for a few relaxing hours. Oh and I cut my hair to look more "professional" … my friends say I don't look like myself anymore!
April – thanks so much! I'll have to look up Lina So but if she's a model I'm sure we look nothing alike : )
Emily – haha, no 10 differences here : ) It was just longer – that's all. I got about 8 "fried" inches off and can't wait to grow it back out. And yes, my boyfriend is half Fillipino : )
Sunny – thanks for the restaurant tips! Seriously I could eat for years in nYC and not try even half the restaurants in your city. And yes I'm normally guilty of that too – H&M; and F21 have such cheap ones, but not extremely flattering for small chests. These VS are actually pretty good!
Diana Draw- I know…the Ideeli prices are great! I tweeted about it and I hope some ladies took advantage of the sale.
D – you should definitely make a trip back to the area! I've only been to the north shore, but there are so many places I want to explore like (Vicky) mentioned – kittery/portsmouth, etc.
So jealous you have access to a lobster shack, I bet the meat is so fresh! Ah and so affordable for lobster!
In case you didn't see my reply to your comment, I'll repost it here re Chanel prices abroad.
She should for sure get it now if she's still there. It's incredible what the price difference is. My reissue (225 size) was EUR1930 * 1.24 exchange rate * 3% CC transaction fee = ~$2465. At the airport, I also got VAT return so total cost ended up being ~$2220. In the US, I believe the reissue is $2850 and tax of 8.75%, so I saved ~28%, or $880. The exchange rate now is still around the same, so it's definitely a worthwhile deal.
The rumor is that European prices will go up July 1st to compensate for the low exchange rate, so even more incentive to buy now!
Any post with lobster is a great post to me and the lobsters you guys ate look delicious!!
MMMMMmmm looks so good! Went to Maine last winter to eat lobster and I can remember how good it tasted. Sigh! Ooh and I just saw those GAP rompers you raved about at the Gap outlet yesterday! Forgot the price though.
Thanks for the amazing photos! I'm so hungry now.. hehe 😀
You look amazing in such a simple outfit. I lived in MA for more than 7 years but have never been to Rockport. Have to make it there this summer. 🙂 Last year we went to Kittery/Portsmouth area. There Lobster shack is also amazing.

how cute. I noticed that you were wearing white in both pics! yummy, delicious!! I used to live in MA but moved out of the state before adolescence. I would love to go back and explore and explore!
love the skirt <3.
Holy cow, under $35 for 3 freshly caught & cooked lobsters?! That's under $12 per crustacean! Man, that looks soooo good.
On an unrelated note, ideeli is having a sale on "Little Bra Co." bras. They specialize in smaller sizes – 28AA to 36B, think, all B's or smaller. HTH someone!
Yummie!!!!!! Seafood is my favorite!!!!! I wish there was a place like that by me- that is SO dirt cheap for 3 lobsters!!!!! 🙂
oooooh! i've never been to rockport but ive heard good things about it. too bad i'm allergic to lobster. it's not a big reaction so i still eat it. lol!
If you come back to NYC to visit, try Pearl Oyster Company or Luke's Lobster for their lobster rolls.
I'm guilty of always buying swimsuits that aren't flattering for small-chested women b/c there's like no padding but I find them cute. The VS Miracle Bra line looks great and I've thought of trying, but I've never liked the colors or patterns and I can't justify new swimsuits when I already have like 7 bikinis. xP
I love this look! The skirt is awesome! It looks so great on you =D
yummy! looks like you had a fantastic weekend. I'm so jealous! I miss the beach. 😉
You have no idea how much I LOVE lobster rolls. You're making me uber hungry right now haha
i love how you mix trendy, affordable items with expensive ones! it makes your whole outfit seem expensive 🙂 i love your earrings!
really nice summer outfit 😀 u look so pretty 🙂
and lobster! nam! it´s been a while since i´ve eaten them!
Now I'm craving me some lobster! I think I'll try making some lobster rolls lunch sometime next weekend… and mmmm watermelon. YUM! And I love your skirt! I'm a big fan of exposed zippers. 🙂 Hope you have a fabulous week sweetie.
xx Love & Aloha
Oh my gosh, I'm echoing everyone here, but you look so pretty!! Haha.
I don't see the difference between your old hair and new hair.. Is it longer? Lighter? Haha I feel like I'm doing a "find the 10 differences" between each picture and failing.
And random: Is your boyfriend asian too?
Mmmm…lobster…one of my favorite things to eat EVER!
I've never had a lobster roll but it looks delicious!
I love posts that consist of fashion and food, and this is a perfect example! Your outfit is simple yet summer-y and chic. I love that you're wearing your new earrings as well; they work as a great pop of colour to your overall outfit. those lobster sandwiches looks reeeally good! sounds like you had a lovely weekend 🙂
OMG! Your post made me drool. I absolutely love lobster and you can't get lobster where I live for THAT price. Where is this place?
I love your H&M; earrings too! They five your outfit a kick. 🙂
You look so cute! Love the loose tee with the skirt. And the lobster looks delicious! =)
LOL I meant "plain" haha not plane like airplane. HAHA! It's getting late, I should probably go to bed. Heheh!
By the way, you are gorgeous! You look like my model friend Lina So. You girls are just so naturally beautiful! I love that natural beauty you have–not too done up, not too much makeup, just plane PRETTY!
You look so classy in all your pictures!
Mmm the lobster looks delicious! You look gorgeous too!

I'm supposed to go to rockport one of these days!! 3 for $35?!? Get outta hea lol. I remember when I went to sail loft and got a lobster for $15 I was so excited haha. Beautiful pics! Why did u cut your hair?
Yum! Fresh lobsters! You are so lucky! Am happy you like VS's swimwear, been wanting to try them.
You look so purty!:)
Mmm that lobster looks really good. =)
I love the casual outfit of yours.. the skirt is great! =)
You should try Wood's restaurant in Plymouth. 2 for $19.99! It's a cute area and great for walking around after.
Yum.. lobsters! I love the first pic… perfect timing for the wind-blown effect 🙂 Too bad you didn't post a few hours earlier, I'd just placed an order at VS to try their Very Sexy Pink bras in 30A… I totally would've thrown in some of those push up bikini tops too!
what a nice casual summer outfit! all that lobster is mouth-watering 🙂 that VS bikini top is amazing! i should really get one too xD i need to take advantage of the beach here ~
I went shopping yesterday & those shorts were the first thing I saw! I wanted the white or green…. but I skipped on them, & got a cardigan… yea totally stupid since its practically summer lol.
Love the outfit… & wait are those the $2.95 earrings from H&M; also? 'cause I bought them hahaha
I like the skirt and the gold sipper details — looks expensive! It's fit really nice on you too. H&M; is like a forever21 to me, its chaos but once you get through the clutter there are always hidden gems.
I like the VS bikini top. Looks like a good push up! Reminds me I need to get some new bikinis for vacation 🙂
