Fruits n Veggies

Hi guys! More than half way to the weekend! Just stopping in with an outfit I wore earlier this week. This is the cutest vintage blouse (which should be in the shop next week) covered in fruits and veggies, which I wore to mark my first day of yet another cleanse I am doing.  I am on day three of ten, and then I may try to transition into the whole 30 directly after that because guys, I can't button my pants anymore. Its no good.  Wish me luck (or better yet, send some motivation and commitment my way, and don't you dare say "pizza" or "burrito" in my presence!)
Outfit Details:
Shorts + Blouse - Vintage
Sandals - BC Footwear via Swell
Sunnies - from market vendor in Italy

How good is that print? May cry a little when it goes up in the shop.  In other news, I am getting excited for my first in-person selling event at a local outdoor market next month, but am pretty intimidated my how much planning really goes into it!  I've gotten some great advice from a few blogging friends who sell at craft fairs though, and if you have ever sold at one (or even just visited one and have seen something you liked or disliked), please share your tips with me!

Island Americana

I was going to title this post "Island Patriot", but I didn't want anyone to get the false impression that I watched the Superbowl yesterday...
Outfit Details
Shirt - Swell (Mens section/ altered)
Shorts - Vintage
Hat - Eddie Bauer

These snaps were taken outside of the little cottage we rented in Hanalei.  The top was from the men's section of Swell, and I brought up the length and the sleeves to make it into a crop top right before we left.  The shorts also used to be a really awkward almost-knee length.  It's amazing what some tiny/ easy alterations can do!  Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend!

Hawaiian Joe Dirt

Hi guys,
   Just stopping in quickly with a super easy-going outfit I wore to the park this weekend to play frisbee.   Well we played for a good ten minutes until we realized it was 90-something degrees and then deemed "sitting under the awning drinking water" a better activity. I don't think R could actually believe I asked him to snap photos of what I was wearing as were headed out the door, as this usually wouldn't be the type of outfit I post on here.  Actually, he told me I look like a Hawaiian Joe Dirt.  Thanks R!


Outfit Details
Hat - Vonzipper via Swell
Shoes - Inkkas
Purse - vintage
Top - Target
Sunnies - ZeroUV

     Anyway, even though this is way more casual than I usually post, its what I often wear! I grew up at the beach, so often, especially during summertime, I revert to a more low key beachy style even though there's unfortunately no beach in sight here.
     This is the second baseball hat I got recently from Swell and I am of course in love with the floral print! This one is sold out now, but there are a ton of other amazing printed ones right now too, particularly in the mens section!  I think this minty toucan number or this polka dot one has to be next on my list!

Happy July!

Weekend Whites

Just a super casual outfit I wore hanging out this weekend. This dress may or may not now be covered in the bright yellow kraft mac n cheese I ate while wearing it.  So it goes while wearing all white.


Outfit Details:
Hat - RVCA via Swell (similar)
Shoes - Converse
Dress - Hanna Andersson (thrifted)

Two things R loves are sneakers and baseball hats.  Now that we share a closet in our new place, seeing his hat collection every day has started to give me mild envy, so I decided to get a few cute ones for myself during a big sale swell was having.  Forty percent off of items already on sale? Yes please.  I roped R and a few other friends into buying mass quantities of things too.  Sorry not sorry!

Anyway this striped hat by RVCA is a new favorite. The bill has a pretty hawaiian print and its super comfy too.  I love how throwing a baseball hat on with a dress gives an outfit an instant low key vibe. BBQs, frisbees, cocktails on the patio, and eating all meals outside - here I come!

Tropical Cutouts

Here comes the hardest Hawaii posts to put up- the ones that I still have to post after I've returned to Colorado! These were taken back when we were in Maui and on our way out to dinner!
Outfit Details: Dress - Baked x Stone Fox Swim via Swell // Shawl - gift from my mom 

Tomorrow its back to real life working on the shop, unpacking, and getting my life back in order.   But at least I still have these warm pictures and fun memories to keep looking back on! This dress I won in a contest from Swell, and it is the perfect easy piece to throw on.  I paired it with a beautiful crochet shawl my mom bought from a little grandmother making it in Italy! R is wearing a fruit print shirt I actually bought for my dad for Christmas but it didn't end up fitting.  Anyway, cheers to getting my life back on track and trying to snap out of vacation mode!

Black Magic

I think there may be some sort of magic behind this dress from Baked x Stone Fox Swim.  I found out that I won a contest I had entered on the Swell.com Facebook page to win this dress and was over the moon excited! The cutouts are amazing and the material is super comfortable.  I only wish I had had it for all of summer!
Outfit Details - Dress - Baked x SFS via Swell // Booties - Blowfish //
 Hat - Target // Necklace - Vintage
I knew I wanted to go for a a bohemian look and paired it with a pair of Blowfish booties and my favorite maroon hat.  For some reason, whenever I wear outfits of this style, I always think railroad tracks make the ideal backdrop for photos.  Perhaps its subconscious wanderlust.  I feel like this is the type of dress that if you were going to go on a tropical vacation and could only bring one item of clothing, this would be the thing to throw in your suitcase.  It's also a bit more sexy than my normal style, so that doesn't hurt once in awhile either! I know it will be coming with me to Hawaii at the end of this year! And speaking of tropical vacations, there is the possibility of SNOW in the forecast for Friday even though its in the mid 70s today.  So yeah, there's that.
    Hope you're having a great week!

When Life Gives You Lemons

Happy Friday!
     I love this dress, but do not love these pictures. With all the rain we got in Hawaii this year, my lens kept on fogging up when going from outdoors to indoors, and most of these pictures fell victim to this. Oh well! My brother got me this RVCA lemon dress that I have long been lusting after for Christmas!  And my mom got me the cute little round straw bag and these adorable green shoes from Modcloth.  This was actually what I wore out to a little local Kauai bar for New Years Eve too, but I did not get a chance to take pictures that night. I was too busy doing a few too many Sake Bombs with my mother.
Outfit Details
Dress: RVCA via Swell.com (gift)
Straw Circle Purse: gift
Hair Bow: c/o American Apparel
Green Heels: Bait Footwear via Modcloth (gift)
     Anyway.  These were taken inside of the house we rented near the North Shore of Oahu.  It was right on the beach, or more accurately, right in the ocean since there was only a teeny tiny strip of beach left in front!  What usually would have turned out to be an amazing location proved to unfortunately be super windy and rainy, but we soon figured out if we drove to the beaches a bit North, the weather was much calmer.  These are from the upstairs living room, and I just loved the rows of books and beachy curiosities!
     I thought I'd include a snap of my mom and I too, especially since she is wearing the skirt I got her for Christmas :) Hi mom! Back to wintery Colorado posts next week! Have a great weekend!
