a weekend of food trucks

Lydia, Sarah and I kicked off the weekend with vintage shopping at Shareen, which is tucked away in an industrial warehouse close to downtown. We each scored a dress, and mine is a psychedelic floral print and fits like a glove. It was a really cool spot and I’m glad they let me tag along.

Later Friday night the three of us met up again to go to First Fridays on Abbot Kinney. Tons of food trucks line the famous street in Venice Beach and stores extend their hours for late-night shopping. The sidewalks were packed, so we had a great time people watching.

After a quick change at home, Sarah and I met up with some guy friends to go out downtown. We decided to head to a whiskey bar USC students frequent called Seven Grand. That place is great. There are pool tables, mounted deer heads, an outdoor patio, and delicious whiskey cocktails—what more could you want?

The beach tour continued on Saturday when Sarah and I lounged at Malibu Lagoon. Lots of (attractive) surfers provided aquatic entertainment, and it was such a clear day that we could see down the entire coast. I was locked in an epic battle all day with a pestering bee that Sarah eventually smashed, but that was the only negative. Well and my sunburn.

That night Katy, Katie, Sarah, Sarah (yup, my friends all have the same names) and I went to the Hester Street Fair in Hollywood. There were more delicious food trucks and cool clothing and jewellery vendors. It was fun peeking around at all the unique stuff before heading to Leanna’s house. We also had a celebrity sighting: Bryan Greenberg of One Tree Hill was with Jamie Chung who was the bride in The Hangover 2.

I had a lazy Sunday hanging out in Sarah’s backyard reading and ran a few errands. It was a fun weekend, but it’s back to work today!
