Furry Feline

Taking decent outfit photos while in high wind territory is a near impossible feat, especially when you're rockin' a full fringe.  These photos took forever to capture and they were the "best" out of the bunch.  Oh the things fashion bloggers do for photos.  Haha.  If you've been following my blog for sometime now, you know I have a affinity for fur.  I love me a fun fur coat.  I got this jacket almost a year ago, and last weekend was the first time I wore it out.  I adore the cropped length.  A lot of people ask how I can wear a fur out here in paradise.  Believe it or not, this fur came in handy when we went to see the sunrise on Haleakala last Sunday morning.  The temperature dropped to the low 40's (high 30's)! CRAZY!  And the wind chill made it seem even colder.  It was worth it though, because the sunrise was spectacular, almost surreal, and definitely magical.  It's truly an experience all visitors (and locals) that come to Maui need to witness.

Gotta go, trying to finish up my Christmas shopping.  Hopefully, I can get it done in 4 days!

Better Together

My best friend left Maui yesterday. :(  It's always hard saying bye to her.  I had the most amazing time with her and we made a lot of great new memories together.  I can't wait until our next adventure together!  Hopefully, it'll be in June, experiencing SF together!!!  I love and miss you so much, Joanie-bear. :))))

It's always better when we're together....

Aloha!

Hello loves. I've neglected my blog, but for good reason.  My BFF has been in town for the past week.  I'm so thrilled to have her back home.  We've been friends for over 20 years.  We haven't seen each other for almost three years, so it's nice to finally be reunited.  Her sweet grandmother always tells us that she and I are always "stuck together" and she's right.  We are definitely better, when we're together. :)

The semester is finally over as well.  Whew!  So glad it's over.  These pics are the pieces that I created for my design studio class.  We were challenged to turn Hawaiian print fabric into something beautiful and this was the outcome.  Hope you guys like it.  I surely do! :)))

Off to grab a cocktail with my BFF, catch you guys in a bit.  Toodles.

Love, S

BIG

Sometimes bigger is better.  The Pirate scored me the Big Lita from Solestruck's annual Black Friday sale.  Aren't they so rad?  I was a tad skeptical about them at first.  All I could think about was toppling down a flight of stairs; stairs are my worse enemy.  I slipped these on, trotted around, and they were actually super easy to walk in.  Paired with my new leather pleated dress and a fur (both faux!), I felt unstoppable!  Currently, they're my new favorite shoes, but I don't dare say that too loud.  I'd hate for my other shoes to feel left out. ^_^.  I'm also in love with my new NYX Matte Lipstick (PERFECT RED) that I picked up from my local drugstore.  It's the perfect shade of red (with a blue undertone), a great matte finish, super affordable ($5 a tube) and long lasting power, too.  I would totally recommend it.  Happy Tuesday-ing, loves.
