The Beauty and the Beach

It was a pretty quiet weekend around here - we had a few things to take care of. But we did have time on Sunday to take a stroll down to downtown HB with our little Pandi.

It always starts at Farquhar Park, because it is 1 mile from the beach and parking is free.

There are usually a few other dogs there, but today, only soccer players.

Pandi was still as excited as ever.

We strolled down Main Street. The picture above shows the Art Institute, where I used to take my painting and drawing lessons.

 This is the Shoreline Hotel. All the patios, bars and restaurants are in an inner courtyard. It's a nice hotel. Below it, on street level are more shops and restaurants.

Here's the pier - the red roof at the end is Ruby's, and the tower is the lifeguard station.

Lots of visitors on this beautiful sunny day.

 This is Duke's Restaurant. It started in Hawaii.

Believe it or not, they have the best nachos in HB.

We walked for an hour and twenty minutes, until my compadres (Doc and Pan) started complaining (Doc) and wanting to be carried (Pan). Lightweights.

When I got home, my June Ipsy bag was waiting for me.

The bag this month had a big smooch. The makeup illustrations are not really my style, but my products are nice.

From top to bottom:
1) NYX Whipped Fouette -  a cheek and lip souffle in Berry Tea.
2) Skyn Iceland Glacial Face Wash
3) Balm Springs Long Wearing Blush from the Balm

4) City Color Bold Brow
5) Margaret Dabbs London Nail Polish in Periwinkle - this is currently on my toes.


Back to work, and what did I wear? A vintage sweater and skirt set by Castleberry Knits.

It's really comfy, with an elastic waist and set in pleats. The fabrication reminds me of St John's Santana knit.

The top has horizontal stripes and then a diagonal navy blue stripe.

When I added my costume necklace from Kansas City, it reminded me of a semaphor. So I added a sapphire pendant.

On my right arm, a London Blue Topaz ring, and two gold bracelets.

On my left arm, my yellow gold wedding rings and a scarab bracelet.

That's it, except for the links!!
