I’m Back from Ocean City


Monday June 06, 2011   

The world is crazy. Crazy like getting stuck behind a familiar neighborhood car 3 hours away from said neighborhood.:x This sorta sums up my weekend full of strange coincidences and familiar feelings. In all. It was lovely and too short :) Every year we go once or twice to the beach when possible. :ok:

Being back though, I feel re-energized. :deco4: Despite my slightly twisted ankle from running on a pitch black beach at night. :deco13:

I don’t have many photos. I took a sort of break from it. :dizzy: Though I do have a few of my MUST HAVE spiced shrimp! ::9:
I get this every trip to Ocean City. :hungry:



I ate this stupid caramel popcorn all weekend long. Mike JUST HAD TO GET IT. :dizzy: It’s so delicious… it’s so addictive! :ok: On the left are coconut pancakes from “Happy Jacks” :deco8: pancake house. Not only are coconut flakes cooked into the pancakes, but they substitute with coconut milk too! Also, this place has Sugar Free syrup upon request if you’re interested… ^_^

I ended up doing a little shopping. Couldn’t help myself. :;_;: South Moon Under has a store out there too and I’ve been shopping at them a lot recently. I used to not care for their stock but the past year we’ve sorta been meeting halfway. :deco2: They’ve gotten in more of what I like and I’ve changed my tastes a bit too. They have a better selection of Marc by Marc Jacobs goods than the local department stores plus Free People, French Connection, Minnetonka, Frye, House of Harlow, etc. :ok: :deco10:

Ok, ok I tweeted that I tried on this dress. I ended up getting it in black! Gonna wear it to work tomorrow with black opaque tights and black shoes. Let’s see if it draws too much attention lol. :!?: I wore my pink blush dress for casual Friday with jeggings and a long cardigan but it got a bit more stares than I had anticipated :?::x hahahahaa

While I was gone PopSister finally arrived. And someone asked if Used Mix changed to monthly. I didn’t notice until they asked, but looking at the very back of my recent issue they HAVE changed I think! Not to monthly, BUT to bi-monthly (every other month.) So instead of 4 a year there will now be 6 :D. There was the February (winter) issue, then a May issue that wasn’t labeled as “spring” officially. Then a July issue! And in the July issue there was this on the last page announcing the next issue will be out in July and will be a September issue!

Also there’s a Used Mix Ameblo Blog and twitter now. :deco3:

  3. Tiff says:

    Glad you got a break! You look lovely as always and your dress is very cute :). I started reading used mix and I’m really enjoying it so thank you since you’re technically the one that introduced me to it :)!

  4. Veronica says:

    You look so cute, I love the jean top!

  5. Honeydew says:

    Aww…you look so cute smiling with teeth! =)

  6. lissy says:

    your smile’s so cute ^^ and the dress is really pretty :D

  7. Linda says:

    AHHHH your pictures are so bright and sunny and happy! :D it’s motivating me to study for finals~~~~ and your hair is so cute! do you curl it a little?

    • jenny says:

      Oh good luck with your finals! GO! GO!!!

      Yeah actually lately what I do is curl the bottom part flipped out then the top part curled under inward. :)

  8. Bianca says:

    you only get so many stares cause you’re so damn cute!!

  9. cin says:

    Yummmmm!!
    I agree with Bianca! Hehehe You’re so cute~~
    And I didn’t notice Used Mix became bi-monthly either!! Yay! :D

  10. Sidney says:

    lo~ve that dress you got. i keep looking for dresses and tops like that but nothing is satisfying me! i need to just bite the bullet and buy an expensive one that will last/is good quality…D:

    whoo vacation for jenny! lol is that the denim target dress? (the one we both bought last summer) i don’t have an iron here in korea so the sleeves on mine are always eff’d up ~.~

    • jenny says:

      Yea unfortunately this one wasn’t cheap. $88.00 but cheaper than others I had seen and I loved the length plus detailing. Trying to stick to only buying things I love & skipping on cheap clothing but I do feel sometimes it’s sorta isolating people which I feel guilty for. OK, rambling off topic.

      Denim Target dress? IT. IS! I almost gave it to my sister a few months ago but held onto it. SO HAPPY I DID I wear it a lot now and really love it for “throwing on” when running out to Target, quick dinner, etc!

  11. Mika says:

    Sounds like you had fun and that first picture is gorgeous! Your new dress is super cute, too! And your casual friday outfit sounds so so cute.

  12. Amy says:

    UGH, THE SEAFOOD LOOKS SO GOOD. I love eatting beside an ocean/beach.

    I get a bit weirded out by those stares sometimes. :C Or my friends will comment on how I put on “too much” blush. Maybe I’ll learn to ignore it one day…

    But glad that you had fun. n___n

    • jenny says:

      Yeah for me it depends on what day I’m having. I’m the youngest girl by many years at my office so some days I just rather blend in. But other days I don’t care. But whether or not you let it bother you, you still notice especially when certain people comment about different things over & over in a quite judging type way.

  13. hannah says:

    That denim dress is so cute!!! :D

  14. Vivi says:

    You look super happy–it’s adorable! Glad that trip was a pick-me-up! I’d love to have a trip like that soon.

  15. Vermillion says:

    Lovely photos, you look really pretty ^^ And the food looks delicious~

  16. momo says:

  17. ada says:

    • jenny says:

      Thanks! They’re orange and navy blue nails!

      Yeah I go here every year!! Always eat shrimp xDDDDD Always post shrimp photos too I think xDDDDD It’s hard to get good shrimp away from the coast :(

  18. Ys says:

    Oh wow it looks gorgeous there :) Sounds like you had a great time. I’m jealous! I wanna go to the beach for a weekend away ;)

  19. Alisa says:

    Wow you look always perfect! I have one question: Can you read japanese?

    • jenny says:

      Haahaa trust me, not always oh my gosh. And yes, I can read Japanese a little. I’m limited in my kanji and vocabulary skills though, very basic first level :( I need to practice more :(

  20. Thanh Thao says:

    This seems like a super fun and yummy weekend! Love happy food pics XD

    The dress you tried on is lovely! i wanna see the black one as well!

    Btw, I mentioned you on my last post, check it out if you have time ;)

  21. Miya says:

    Awww I went to OC 2 weeks ago! I had a great time too…so nice to get away but still be so close to home :) hard to come back to work though ;A;

    Thanks for the links to Used Mix twitter/ameblo!!! I love that mag – I’m thinking of starting the subscription service to a few mags since the store I used to buy all my mags from stopped selling mags altogether T________T I haven’t bought mags in at least 6 months because of that!!! 2 Quick questions about the service you use- do they draw the shipping funds at the same time every month? Do they notify you when they ship a new issue?

    Thanks in advance for your answers!

    • jenny says:

      Short answer, no and no. They withdraw the money around the same time but not on a fixed date. And no, they don’t let you know when it’s shipped. It’s sorta old school magazine subscription in that aspect. They just send it to you until you contact them that you want to cancel. Though canceling is super easy and they are extremely kind about it :)! You usually receive the issue a week or 2 after its Japan release date.

  22. Z says:

    Omo cute for work wear!

  23. Tori says:

    I love your denim top, hahaha! XD Is it actually a jumpsuit?
    I’m glad you had a nice getaway though & that you ended up getting that gorgeous dress ♥ That is too weird about seeing your neighbour’s car going your way out of town though, haha~

    • jenny says:

      It’s actually a dress I bought at Target last year!! I almost gave it away because I never wore it but lately I’ve been wearing it a lot lately, very comfortable and matched my red border sweater I had to use at night LOL

  24. Aw I love your smile! It’s so cute and lovely! :) Mine is just obnoxious haha! Glad you enjoyed yourself! Love the pictures!

  25. Jenny says:

    is that the one in MARYLAND or NJ?

    Looks like you had a great time either way :D

  26. mei says:

    Aaaaaa make me wanna go to beach :D
    I wanna download used mix but always fail :(
    Gonna buy it if i find it next time :D

  27. Sami says:

    At first I thought you were eating Fish Popcorn XD haha
    That would be odd!

    and Im glad you got that dress because it looks GREAT :D

  28. stuffwedid says:

    Hi! What a lovely blog. I just discovered your blog ^_^.

  29. Sah says:

    Oh, how wonderful photos! I love to go to the beach too, I trie to go at least one time in the year! It always makes em fell refreshed and happy!
    Kisses

  30. Miya says:

    Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog!! Your holiday at the beach looks delightful and I’m dying to try coconut pancakes now!!!

  31. Huynh says:

    It looks like you had a great time there. And your pictures are always great :)

  32. Serena says:

    Sounds like a fun trip. :) I love your style

  33. savannah says:

    off topic: but do you have an eyelash regimen that you follow to make your own eyelashes grow in more and grow in thicker ?

  34. candace says:

    hi jenny i plan to go to ocean city with my boyfriend for july 4th weekend. what kinds of things do you suggest doing here? and what kind of places are there to shop? :)

    • jenny says:

      Well I’ll start off with saying it’s not really a shopping place. There are a few boutiques like surf shops with Billabong and South Moon Under, but mostly it’s $5.99 cheap t-shirts etc type shops. I say GO FOR FOOD! So much delicious food!

      For seafood On The Bay and Phillip’s buffet is great! Also Happy Jacks for sit down breakfast or Fractured Prune for donuts to go! And pizza! Billy’s is good. Also Galaxy 66 is alright for a more sorta fine dining type place. Oh and eat Thrasher’s french fries!! Oh, oh and Fisher’s caramel corn, yum! You’ll mostly be walking the boardwalk and just hanging out by the beach :D And if you’re over 21 I recommend drinking at the Coconuts bar at Castle in the Sand hotel :)

      • candace says:

        the enthusiasm, i love it! thank you for all your recommendations, i WILL be taking them up :D

  35. HamCham says:

    Your big smile looks so cheerful ^ ^
    It’s nice to see photos like that, haha~

    But… That dress would really get stares? D: Man, that makes me dread office jobs even more… Now I *really* don’t want one, haha~ :P

    But yeah, it really looks like fun! :)

    • jenny says:

      It depends on the office, I work at a government office where I’m the youngest girl. If more girls my age worked there it would probably be different. Actually I didn’t get stares too much. Mostly compliments :)

  36. 33 says:

    Wowww short hair! So adorable! I wish I could pull off short hair as well.. Your pictures are beautiful though!!

    Cheers!

  37. zoraida says:

    mmmm i love sticky sweet caramel popcorn! i usually don’t get it because it gets stuck in my teeth though kek. your trip looks like so much fun ^_^

    and that dress is really folksy cute~

  38. Oct says:

    your hair is super cute! how do you curl it? any tricks? ;D

    • jenny says:

      Lately, like in these photos, I just pin up the top layers then take a curling iron to the bottom layer and curl the ends out like a flip. Then I take the top section and curl those ends under :). That’s it! It’s really quick to do!

  39. Jess says:

    i´m absolutely passionate about beach!
    Is a better place of world in my opinion… hehehe

    i like your photos.
    xox

  40. miss wave♪ says:

    Aaaaaah wanted to comment on this days ago but I’ve been so busy this week! ;___;

    I’ve only been to Ocean City once when we went to visit my mom’s bestie in MD years and yeaaaars ago but I really enjoyed it. I was born and raised in New Jersey so looking at the photos makes me super nostalgic for East Coast beaches. Unfortunately I don’t know when I’ll get to go again but…

    Looove your photos as always! Spicy shrimp! ♥

  41. Victoria says:

    I just went to OC a week before you !
    I will have to look around for that restaurant next time I go.
    And most defiantly shop hehe.

    • jenny says:

      Oh you went for Memorial Day then huh?! Ahhh too busy for me then xDDDD

      This place is right on the main strip, well both places actually! Can’t miss it :D

  42. Rubi says:

    You look SO happy! I have yet to go to the beach! but this post has def. given me the urge to! ;D

  43. Courtney says:

    I’m adequately jealous of your beach trip :P Good for you always making sure you visit! Also I love the beach at night! Running on the beach is energizing!

    I’d love to try coconut pancakes…
