went up to temecula on a blazing friday afternoon to visit aprils godson and bff. as a matter of fact, after talking to april for a couple of weeks, we found out that her bbf, rose, actually worked for my mom when we first opened. we thought that was pretty crazy. anyways, kicked it with the little kiddo. aiden was the most hassel free baby ive ever dealt with. he just looks at you in awe all the time.

i used to buy ambiguous from the mall back in the day. but years later they have re-invented itself since they got bought out by Ray’s Apparel Inc. They have set a tone for nice clean cut clothing. based on japanese cut-n-sew, and cheaper price points, ambiguous always seems to please me and make it harder to put in orders.

josh showing us a leather jacket piece for $98 retail. like i said, price point! look how clean it is. you cant get a leather jacket for that price.

i tried on the new 13.25″ leg opening denim. the best looking slim fit ever on me.

drove april and i to ocean beach for some hodad’s burgers (where we at on my birthday) but only to find out that the 5 south doesnt connect with the 8 west freeway. so we detours our ass through the sports arena and into mission beach. we had to make a u-turn to finally hit sunset cliffs blvd after our 20 minute detour! but when we got there the line was out the door 50 people deep. so all saliva glands just erupted. change of plans. detoured to the 5 north through sea world only to hit crazy traffic on a sat. but believe it or not, actually ended up at BJ’s in la jolla. enjoyed some delicious food. the pictures will get your cravings going…
