Roller Skates, Birds, and Beachside Bistros.

There's nothing like the drive down PCH from Malibu to Santa Monica to Venice Beach with my youngest cousin, Jade, aka the hippest person I know. Wind in our hair, famous houses on our right, and miles and miles of sand and sea.  We head all the way down to Washington BLVD near Marina Del Rey to park and work our way back north on the Venice boardwalk that is currently covered in "Birds" or scooters you can now rent on your smartphone.

Our first stop is Figtree's Cafe, a bistro with healthy options and an array of non-alcoholic drinks (and cocktails for those who can drink).  I've come here many times for a "salty dog", but this time it was camomile tea for me and a delicious chai latte for Jade.  I would also highly recommend the avacado chicken melt and for my vegetarian friends, they've got a killer veggie dagwood (I'm looking at you Ruhi and Alyna!)

From lunch, we headed down the boardwalk stopping in the occasional store for some light shopping.  My favorite was California Love where I found the cutest onesie complete with a retro VW Van printed on the front.  I also indulged in a cute California Love bib and had to resist the urge to buy the pink one with the roller skate because we still don't know if it's a boy or a girl...

Jade, being much hipper than me, wanted to check out Gotta Have It, a Venice Beach vintage treasure that will have you thinking of Nasty Gal Girl Boss, Sophia Amoruso.  Inside we gushed over leather jackets, brightly colored accessories, sequined dresses, and even vintage Chanel bags.
Finally, we walked back to our car at Washington, eating ice cream cones and posing in front of the sunset.
