GRACEDBYGRIT: Water Shorts?

As we all know, I’m on a constant quest to find comfy shorts that photograph well for playing beach football. These are my current faves, but there’s a new short in town. GRACEDBYGRIT is a new company that just launched late last year, but already has tons of celeb fans—so like a good little faux…
