Oh boy did I log a lot of miles on my invisible pedometer this day! I knew that we’d be doing a lot of sightseeing and exploring, so I packed a lot of simple outfits for my Boston trip so that I could be as comfortable as possible. The weather was gorgeous this day- perfect for walking all around Boston.
I loved the Boston Common so much. It reminded me that I should take more advantage of sunny days here and head to my local park for a little reading session or mini picnic. I also thought that Beacon Hill and Charles Street were just the cutest. I fell in love with one store in particular, Black Ink, which carries all sorts of lovely things, including paper goods and kitchen ware. If I ever moved to Boston, I would want to live right here!
Outfit Details: Dress and Sunglasses- H&M // Necklace- Forever 21 // Sandals- Target // Purse- Ruche (all photos of me taken by my friend Adanna- thanks lady!)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Simple is often best for travel, you can’t deal with a fussy outfit when you are walking around all day! Beacon hill is definitely a nice area, love to live there too!
Yes, absolutely!
Perfect outfit choice! The muted grey color allows all the lovely colors around you to stand out a little more :)
Thank you Jenmarie :)
