Today I purchased my first one-piece swim-suit since the 8th grade. It’s super adorable and from j.crew: 2 things I require for most of my wardrobe. I decided to get the suit because it was on super-sale on the j.crew website. Awesome! Now, I have been wanting to get a one-piece for some time now, I could just never find the right one. I went last year with Hannah and Ali to try some on at L.L.Bean and boy was that a disaster. To put things simply I looked like I was twelve and wearing my old ballet leotard. I thought black would be slimming and flattering, right? Wrong. So after that experience I gave up on the whole one-piece idea for awhile, until my mom offered to buy me and my sister each a suit for the summer. I looked on the website for one I liked, but could not make up my mind. Plus this was pre-summer and all of the suits were close to one-hundo dollars. For serious. I could not bring myself to buy something I will only wear 3 months out of the year (only on the weekends plus that one luscious week in CC) for such a steep price. So up until now I have been making do with my last years suit, which is fantastic by the way (also j.crew), but I’ve still been yearning for that cute one-piece I’ve had in the back of my mind ever since they came back into style. Well, today I was randomly browsing jcrew.com when I came across this suit:

Well, folks, Dave Matthews finally made it back to Syracuse, NY. And I came home to take part in the thrill of it all. This concert marks Dave’s first cuse experience since 1999, when he played at the Landmark Theatre with Tim Reynolds. Bet that show was phenomenal. My sister and I saw Dave and Tim play at Westpoint in 2003 and it was the best concert I’ve ever been too.
goodbye, KAP!
Here are some of my favorite pics from this year:

Today at KAP we took a field trip to…. FENWAY PARK! Home of the good ol’ Boston Red Sox. I have been to Fenway numerous times before to see the Sox play (thanks to other people giving me tickets they cannot use) and it always is a super time. But the Fenway Park tour is a really cool experience in itself because you get to go inside the park while it’s empty and sit in seats you could only dream about sitting in while it’s full. For one thing, I got to go up in the green monster seats and pretend like I got lucky enough to actually afford them. They are awesome. We walked around the perimeter of the park while a really funny tour guide, who reminded me of one of my uncles, made jokes about the yankees and told us weird/interesting facts about all the details behind America’s most beloved ballpark.
- They should totally bring you behind the scoreboard and let you peak out of that little hole between the ball and strike count (I’ve always wondered about that).
- You should get a free Fenway Frank to eat while on the tour… seriously.
