Outfit | Southside

I have these days where I just want to leave town and apparently Sunday was one of those days. Instead of going across the world I had to settle for just going to the other side of the island. I basically played tourist that entire afternoon. The sun had finally come out to play and even though I hate getting tan (even though I am already super tan), I can't deny that the vitamin D felt amazing on my skin. Along with the sun came the wind, and the wind was insanely strong.

For lunch we stopped at this little grocery store called Living Foods Market and ordered an ahi wrap. The wind was so bad we actually switched tables and sat on the other side of the building. I also had to resort to putting up my hair because it was getting everywhere. 

My outfit was pretty casual. I actually ate lunch twice (brunch and then lunch a few hours later... Yea... I am kind of a fatty) and in the morning on the way to bakery and brunch with a friend it was kind of cold so I threw on this incredibly comfy knit sweater. The pairing with the top looks kind of funky on camera for some reason (I think because the tank looks more blue that it actually is...) but I received quite a few compliments stating that "looked nice today". Weird because I literally rolled out of bed, jammed out to punk rock music and then headed towards the direction of food. 

I used the cardigan all morning and then when it warmed up around noon I ended up not grabbing it again until evening rolled around.

I actually forgot about this "Mermaid at (heart)" tank up until last week. Out of nowhere it popped into my mind and I literally leaped out of my seat and ran to my closet because I hadn't seen it in a while. To my dismay, I couldn't find it and after panicking for a little I remembered that tops like this slip off my hangers all the time. Sure enough, I pushed everything aside and there it was... All crumpled up.

Thank you so much for stopping by and definitely let me know if you have gone on any out of town adventures recently... I definitely am curious to know!

Outfit | Daisies & Denim

Top: JW (ghetto local place) | Skirt: Forever21 | Denim: Pull & Bear | Boots: Gifted | Bag: HOBO International

My denim pullover and my boots make yet another appearance on my blog. Weird seeing as how last month and January I rarely ever used these two items and now that it's March they always seem to be the two things I gravitate towards. 

Anyway, weather today was kind of funky. Kind of cloudy but cold, and in the afternoon it was sunny but the wind had a bit of a bite to it, and in the evening it was very cold. 

After church I took my friends to an ice cream shop in the next town over and treated them to delicious (but way overpriced) waffle cones. 

Before I go on to share some of the photos that were taken, I wanted to quickly mention how excited I am! I officially have decided how my photos are going to be taken/my setup (more specifically; location and posing... I literally can't pose for my life but I finally have decided on what I am going to go) and I am just adding little details here and there to the theme of my blog... Everything is just coming together and no words can describe how excited I am! Thank you to everyone who has been giving me lovely feedback.

How was your Sunday?

Outfit | Saturday Coffee Dates

Muscle Tee: Ross | Bandeau: Pacsun | Shorts: Hollister | Bag: Brandy Melville | Sandals: Forever21

Oddly enough, after these photos were taken the weather took a turn for the worst and the entire day ended up being cloudy and cold. I didn't change though, I simply grabbed a black cardi and threw it on.

My friend Val and I decided to go down to Hanalei shopping center and have a quick coffee (well... technically we both had chai tea) date which then turned into window shopping at all of the surf shops that surround the coffee place we went to. Even though today was really cold Val and I ended up browsing for bikini's. I think I might have found one... It's a one piece however and kind of ridiculously priced but... Yea. I think I might go back.

I also wanted to quickly mention that if you click my photo over on my "Get to know me" thing which is off to the side,  it will redirect you to a page where I tell you more about the blog and I go more in depth about my "journey" and stuff. So... feel free to check it out!

Did you do anything fun today?

Polyvore Fun | More Inspiration for Springtime

After a long day on the tennis courts, I decided to turn on Spotify and play around on Polyvore. I ended up making a couple sets using some ideas I had for Spring and I thought I would share. 

I was thinking about it and came to the conclusion that this upcoming season I might venture into printed shorts. If your like me (undercover goth) at least your attempting to jump out of your normal comfort zone. And to add another sorry attempt of color, I threw in a denim jacket. I think it keeps this outfit casual and a nice bit of texture since both the shorts and the tank seem to be a sort of chiffon looking material. 

I have two moods when I go out; I'm actually trying or I don't even care at all. There is no in-between. This one is definitely in the "I don't even care" category, but I think the clean looking flats keep it from looking to casual. At least it's an attempt. I love this look because it's so casual and effortless. (P.S. no I don't have the Rockie nor anything similar BUT LOOK AT IT IT'S SO PRETTY I HAD TO INCLUDE IT). I can definitely see myself wearing something like this next time I have a casual lunch date with my favorite person in the world (my bestie, Keani). 

This is definitely leaning on the boho side of things. I centered this around these awesome boots from H&M. Instead of including a black pair I thought why not try something in the tan family? It's a small step away from black boots and I feel like there is a little... Breath of fresh air concerning this outfit, especially with the light apricot cardigan so I thought it would be great for the upcoming season. I think making the simple switch from monochrome shades to neutrals is a nice way to hop into the spring of things. 

This is my makeup inspiration! For some reason I'm thinking lots of highlight, neutral/peachy blush, and nicely contoured cheeks. For lips I am feeling either bright shades or neutrals... Been loving my little natural Rouge colored mini from Makeup Forever! It really is a lovely shade!  

Hope you enjoyed this post and hopefully grabbed a few things of it to add to your own spring fashion adventures! Let me know what your thoughts are on any of the things I mentioned above.

March Wishlist

Kimono | High Waisted Shorts | Boots/Espadrilles | Essie Nailpolish | Fit Me Concealer | Real Techniques

I've been finding myself actually enjoying reading peoples' monthly wish list posts for some odd reason so I've deciding to hop onto the bandwagon and make one myself. I don't think I'm going to write one up every month, but I'll make one whenever I feel myself making a bit of a shopping list... Not a "immediate" list though... More of a... "Remember to keep your eyes open for this" type of wish list. 

xoxo,

These are some of my favorites. 

Seriously though... The heels. Are. Bitchin'.

Fashion Week Highlights | Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2014

As you know, it's time for the Spring collections to be released so all the designers have been debuting their Spring collections via fashion week. 

One of my favorite collections was from Dolce & Gabbana who seemed to have this sort of... Roman strength theme going on. Loved it. These were some of my favorite looks;

The outfits prepared had a lot of gold, a lot of crochet, fur, prints, and polka dots. What I especially appreciated about this collection was the vibrant colors (specifically in the fur), and the cuts of the clothing. Some pieces were flared and other parts were cut straight. 

And can we please talk about the detail?! Look at these shoes! 

But my favorite thing out of the entire collection would have to be the flowers and coins the models wore on their heads. 

Look at that! It's literally so beautiful!!

Between the gorgeous jewelry and the flowers... I am in awe. Hands down my favorite collection from Fashion Week. They definitely took the cake. 

What about you? Did you like this collection as much as I did? If not, who was your pick?

xoxo,
