beach day

Snapped these pics right before I hopped in the car to go to the beach. I rarely ever go to Main St HB now, mostly because I spent all of my high school years there, but it was super nice to see what changes have come about. Surfer Museum was hosting some events along with the Main St arts and crafts fair, so we made an afternoon of it. Every time I'm in the area, I always hit up Mangiamo's for some amazing Italian iced coffee + pistachio gelato on Main St!! You have to try it! It tastes exactly like pistachio!! We then found my friend who works a booth at the fair, and then strolled down to the pier for some people watching. The weather was insanely beautiful today. The sun was hidden just behind a layer of clouds, but bright and warm enough for a long stroll.

These j brand jeans are amazing. They are incredibly thin, well fitted [after much pulling and tugging to button it up!]. I was hesitant on getting them in a smaller size, but my ingenious Italian roomie made me do it, explaining that this quality fabric will mold to fit in about an hour of wear. They are now worn in to perfection. Being on sale for more than 50% off is pretty sweet as well.

NPR introduced me to her about a year ago and she is amazing. She just did a version with B.O.B. but i don't like it. Watch the original version with Big Boi here. I love everything about this video.
