Lilac Gardens

Aloha friends!
    These photos were quickly snapped on yet another grey day on Kauai last week.  I spotted this pretty Japanese style house a few down from ours and thought it would be the perfect backdrop for my lilac dress.  Yet another example of me trying to match my outfits to my surroundings! My mom told us all a story at dinner the other night about when I was really little. She said we could go into basically ANY bathroom at a restaurant, etc., and I would find something nice to say about the decor of the bathroom and say that a part of what I was wearing matched it.  Ha! See, I was a fashion blogger in training at age 6, who knew?

Outfit Details:
Dress & Bow: c/o American Apparel
Sandals: BC Footwear via Swell
Belt: F21
     Anyway, it has continued to be rain here on Oahu, but we actually got a much welcomed peek of sunshine today! We went for a hike along the shoreline of the Turtle Bay Resort (where Forgetting Sarah Marshall was filmed!) and then went and lounged to watch a surfing contest.  Only two more days left and I am praying for sun!  I hope you all are having a lovely start to your week!

  1. You look darling! I have this dress in pale pink and I LOVE it. It works so well for winter and summer looks. Your matching the bathroom story made me laugh! My sister had a habit as a kid of tricking my mom to taking her into every restaurant bathroom just so she could see how it was decorated :) Enjoy the last days of your trip!

  6. Aw man I am loving this Hawaiian winter of yours! You look cute, and you sound like you were such a nice kid! I was so bossy, I have videos of me at Christmases telling other people to "say thankyou!" for their presents!

  7. I stayed at turtle bay years before that movie came out and freaked when I watched it! Haha. It's such a pretty place. And that movie is just SO FUNNY. I love it. Plus, you look super pretty in this dress! You pull of the sheer look so well! I love the pink underneath and that shade of lavendar is so gorgeous!

  17. that such a shame that you're on holidays in hawaii and you're getting all this rain, it's always the way when you go somewhere that's supposed to be sunny! i went to my family's beach house for christmas and it poured almost the whole time! glad to see you're making the most of it anyway. :)

  21. What a bummer you've been getting so much rain! Although I am of course still super jealous. You look fantastic in that cute little dress and the building is great. So funny you said that as a six yr old! What about gross gas station ones? That compliment woulds be so funny.
