Turtle Bay

Well, it feels like a cruel joke still having about a weeks worth of Hawai'i pictures left to post since it is all of FIVE degrees here in Colorado today! R and I tried to go on a snowy walk this weekend to get out of the house a bit, and it was so cold and miserable we only made it around the block.  I will be looking into affordable gym memberships today because burritos and leftover holiday chocolates are not a great mix with sitting on the couch.
Outfit Details
Dress: f21/ thrifted
Sandals: Reef
      On to actual nice things to talk about, like the beach!  These photos were taken on Oahu near the grounds of the Turtle Bay resort.  Have you guys seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall? Yup, its that hotel! I know R and my brother were hoping Mila Kunis would be greeting us at the front desk! We stayed there when I was younger, but we were just visiting for the day to do a little hike along the coastline this time.  It obviously was not a strenuous hike, as I was wearing a ruffled dress and my trusty reef flip flops, but it was a beautiful mixture of forest trails and sandy beaches. Let's just say that with the amount of layers I am wearing right now, I'm sure going to miss being able to only have to write two items in the "what I'm wearing" section! Stay warm and have a good start to your week!

    It's SO beautiful there! I hope looking through your pics helps you get through your cold days! I always feel like winter should end with the holidays- it sort of loses it's charm after that :)

    You are absolutely radiating sunshine - Hawaii suits you well, my friend. Whenever I get back from a trip (especially if it's returning from a warm spot back to cold), I almost can't believe it - like, I was there? There were waves outside my door? Sand in my toes? And I just want to go BACK! :) I really wish I would have thought ahead and booked something for this winter! I need some sunshine!

    Sigh...still jealous. That's so awesome that you were at the Forgetting Sarah Marshall hotel! I love that movie and just about anything Jason Segal does. And of course, you look perfect for the beach in this fun dress.

    Oh that is cruel! I'm so bad at living in cold weather and anytime I vacay in some place warm during these months, I am a bag of misery returning home. Hawaii truly looks stunning Hannah! What a perfect time it must have been for you...and a nice little escape from the cold. Between the beach and all that lush plantation, I think I'd be in heaven. Of course you look gorgeous and that dress is perfection as well! Stay warm darling gal :-) xo Marisa

    Brrr, that had to have been a shock coming back home from such beautiful weather to the cold like that! (We went to mexico during feb once and it was horrible coming back home, it was -20 below and all of the pipes had frozen and broken. It was such a shock going from 85 degrees to the -20 below.) I hope you're getting use to the cold again, it's always really cool to see how other cold climate bloggers are able to put their outfits together.
    I am jealous of your photos, it looks so warm and sunny there! (Aahhhh, sunshine.) What a completely gorgeous place and I love your little sundress.

    Ha! I think I'm going to be in the same boat here in about 24 hours...we're flying back from the Philippines tonight and my dad e-mailed me telling me how snow would be waiting...ugh.
    Ah well, looks like you've had an amazing trip! Ahhh, such beautiful beaches to be found in Hawaii, huh?

    Every time I watch that movie, I want to go to Hawaii! I've never been but it looks so gorgeous. It's always hard going to a tropical vacation and then coming home to the freezing cold!

    Your photos are lovely. I've never been to a real tropical beach in my life. I am ever envious. My close friend recently moved to Miami from our home in Kansas. I'm hoping to visit her this year :)

    Thanks for commenting on my blog. It means a lot.
