Current Obsessions: First Day of Summer

June 22, 2013

We seem to be suffering from wanderlust of late. Maybe it’s just the onset of summer and late nights that has us twitching for vacation. Here’s a roundup of a few places (and things) piquing our interest this week:

(Dog owners take note: LA pet store Pussy & Pooch will be featuring an in-store pet café serving organic pet meals, dog beer, and frozen yogurt–Yappy hour included.)
