While I was vacationing in California, I got to meet a few of more than one of my favorite bloggers, one of whom is Ellie of Elluminated! I was so happy that I was able to meet up with her on the day before I left for home. Ellie is seriously such a sweet lady. I had such a great time eating yummy food with her (middle eastern food AND ice cream!), talking about our mutual love for Fleet Foxes and David Sedaris (she got to see him read in person!) and of course taking fun blog photos. We also spent some time just strolling around a cute little area of Berkeley, going into a pet store full of adorable kitties and birds (one of whom looked like he had a Beatles hair cut, I swear) and a book store where I got a pin of my beloved Thoreau. Zak won't stop giving me a hard time about the irony of buying a material possession with Thoreau's face on it ("Simplify, simplify!") but I love it anyway, and I hope Thoreau understands. All in all, it was really a lovely day and I'm so happy I got to meet Ellie! Hopefully, whenever I'm back in California, we'll get to hang out together again!
There was a signed Billy Collins poem in the book store, which I obviously freaked out over
Inside the cutest little ice cream shop
Ellie was wearing such a cute outfit. Her top has little bicycles on it!
Oh you know, just being bears. No big deal.
Can you tell yet that I was really into jumping shots in California? We got one, albeit blurry!
Until tomorrow,
Nicole

You both have the cutest outfits on! And did you go to Ici for ice cream? I love that place! I had the rose-pistachio flavor the last time I went there...best ice cream ever.
ReplyDeleteI'm so stinkin' jealous of your California trip! haha. Seriously, though, it sounds like you had a blast. Both of you gals look adorable (I'm really loving the print on your dress, and your tights are basically the perfect color), but I think Thoreau really steals the show in this post. ;)

I need your help. I spend another survey but this time with another question.
"Where do you prefer to shop? What is your favorite shopping center?"
