SUMMER START UP.

It's only right that I begin this post thanking Izumi of Hybrid Hunter and Katrina of Anirtak!
I was lucky enough to be the winner of this giveaway!
This necklace is so perfect for me, it even matches my first tattoo.
Check out both of their sites, you're sure to come across some goodies.

As you can tell, this was a week full of awesome packages...
My girlfriend, Kim, who happens to be located in Miami,
never misses my birthday and got me this customized flask!
HOW PERFECT IS THIS?

Main kitten and I.

Claws.

For Memorial Day weekend, two of my girlfriends and I ventured up
to my Mom's new house for her housewarming BBQ and pool party.
We had a blast and it was the perfect way to welcome the summer!

Howard on the grill.

It's always time for pina coladas.

S'mores!

I always end up here...

BBQ chicken burgers.

So relaxing and too much fun...
This will definitely be our summer routine.

The Toasted Marshmallow gelato shake from Stand is absolutely heavenly.

On Friday, I met with a few of my kittens for lunch
at Taco Chulo and selling/trading/thrifting at Crossroads.
I chose the homemade strawberry agua fresca for the second time,
it's really tasty.

Guacamole is one of my favorite things.

I chose to go with the Carne Asada (grilled, seasoned steak)
and Pollo Rostizado (chile-rubbed roasted chicken) tacos.
Both were delicious.

Denise went with the Carne Asada (grilled, seasoned steak) and Camarones
(batter-fried shrimp, lime marinated cabbage, chipotle mayo) tacos.

Lastly, Marie went with the Barbacoa (shredded spiced beef brisket) and
Camarones (batter-fried shrimp, lime marinated cabbage, chipotle mayo) tacos.
We left satisfied, no doubt about it.

New shoes @ Buffalo Exchange.

We led ourselves into a store that too closely resembled my Great-Grandparents' shed...
Pretty awesome.

Is this heaven?
Totally enjoyed the Cereal Milk milkshake @ Momofuku Milk Bar.

Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

On early Saturday afternoon, Marie and I decided that it would be best
to get out of the house and enjoy some brunch...
We unexpectedly bumped into Williams & Bailey, which automatically
won me over with their 5-dollar mimosas.
We started with the zucchini fries, which were perfectly crispy and tasty.

I chose to go with 3 eggs (scrambled with bacon, greens, toast and hash browns).
Just the meal I was looking for...
I'll definitely be returning to this place.

She went with the Royale Burger.
It looked interesting, she says that she enjoyed it.

Later that day, after selling more clothing to Crossroads,
we decided to hit the city on a mission to get tattooed.
We decided to have the work done @ Whatever...

My artist's name is Jeff Farmer and he's amazing!
Go pay him a visit....

I normally enjoy tattoos, but this one was excruciating,
although I'm very happy with the finished product!

Since this post is so picture heavy, I'll just leave things here.
Thanks for reading!
