Fa La La La La

It's the most BUSIEST time of the year! Even without proper grammar, I'm sure you all sang that first sentence in your head.

Nothing, and I mean nothing has compared to enjoying one in Italy. I've found some tasty ones here back at home, but finally found a spot that makes them almost as good as in Italy. I was almost transported right back to the Navigli Canal in Milan. Almost... As promised, I rocked the new faux leather shorts, and they were so insanely comfy for all the food...
