Whew...

Whew!  The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of fun.  To say that I've been busy, would be an understatement.  Our UH Maui College Fashion Technology student designer spring fashion show; MUSE{ic} was this past Saturday.  After a few hundred cups of coffee and a lot of sleepless nights,  the Pirate and I created an 11 look collection that we can truly say that we're proud of.  Sure, there are things about our collection that we would want to tweak, add, change, and edit, but overall, we are happy.  :)  We had a lot of help with last minute adjustments and we are so thankful for everyone that was involved with the process.  Our fashion program has a stellar team of individuals who are so dedicated (hi! MJ and Koa, thank you so much!) and our program director, Cheryl has been so influential and our guiding light through it all.  I'll be posting a few photos of our collection later this week.  I posted a few sneak peeks on Instagram, so to check those out, follow me @elisharon.

Yesterday, the Pirate took me to a celebratory lunch at The Plantation House.  It's always a nice treat to dine there.  The views are always breathtaking and it always feels like it's at least 10 degrees cooler than Lahaina town, which was nice, since the weather here has already begun to heat up.  Cheers to ELISHARON!
