Mirrors

Hey guys!  Have you had a chance to enter my giveaway yet?  If you haven't, check out the post below.

I've been drawn to pieces that have the mirrored-effect, so when I saw this shift dress pop up on Bamboo Sky's instagram, I knew I had to have it.  Due to it's obvious popularity, the dress sold out much quicker than I expected.  Boo hoo.  But with Tiff lookin' out for me (thanks girl!), she let me know right away when they restocked!  And well, the rest is history!

Happy Monday, loves.  Here's hoping the week goes by quickly.

Saturday Steez

Although the weather forecast said it was only 82 degrees today, it felt like it was a scorching 90! Summer is fast approaching and you can sure bet I'll be living in tanks, tees, shorts, and summer dresses.  This tank that the Pirate got me from Bamboo Sky, is pretty much one of the comfiest I own. The tropical print is pretty rad and whimsical, without being touristy. And because I just can't seem to let go of these jeans, I feel like I want to use them as much as possible before the summer heat forces them into hibernation.  My new jellies will probably be one of summer go-to's as well.  They are total twinsies with these Stuart Weitzman jellies, but without the designer price tag.  What will be your summer go-to's?

Happy May!

W.O.W.  I can't believe it's been a month since my last entry.  Slacker is totes my middle name.  Eeps!  I promise that this summer my blog will be popping with tons of my sartorial adventures.  Get ready, I'll redeem myself and revive the blog.  The time spent away from my beloved blog has been filled with work, school, tons of sewing!!, fashion shows, side orders, and an Oahu trip. Yes, I just got back, and boy, did I have a blast!

I got to meet up with my bestie boo, Mae, got our grub on and had so much fun talking and laughing, we forgot to take a photo together. :(.  Visited my other boo, Emilie and shopped at her rad shop, Homecoming.  Got to meet Emilie's shopgirls, the super amazing, bubbly, and gawgus, Gabriela and the cute patootie, Raella.  AND I finally met up, in real life!, the supah gorgeous Tiff and of course shopped and celebrated 7 years of amazingness in her shop, Bamboo Sky.  Happy to have seen the beautiful, Adele, too, even if it was for a short time.  Oh and I even met the lovely, Salem.  She totes knows how to work the runway!  On top of meeting all these fabulous beauts, I even got spotted at the HCC Fashion Show by a couple of my readers.  It's was surreal, humbling, and flattering.  Thanks so much for supporting me and my little ol' blog!  :)

Well, I'd love to share with you guys a small collection that The Pirate and I worked on (in four days, mind you) for our college's (UHMC) Fashion Technology fashion show.  We played with longer lengths, layered pieces, and one of our favorite trends, print mixing.  Enjoy...

Weekend Lace

Lace is normally associated with things are that are more "fanciful" or "formal".  When I came across with rad lace dress, I knew it would be one of my weekend go-to's.  It's meant as a beach cover up, but I decided to layer it over silk chemise and pair it with my trusty cargo jacket and rubber wedge booties for a no-fail weekend look.  Is it just me, or did this weekend whisk by? How did you spend yours?

Drape

I've had this dress for almost two years now and it's still one of my faves.  I love the front drape of the dress, because it's figure flattering and conceals my imperfections.  It's been blustery here in the islands, so my trusty men's camouflage print shirt jacket has been my go-to to keep warm.  The Pirate also suggested that I throw it over this ensemble to down play and toughen up the feminine vibe of the look.  I can't say it enough, I'm super lucky to be married to a guy who loves fashion as much as I do.  Soak up the last few moments of the weekend and I'll see you lovelies in a bit... ciao!

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!

Pumpkin

It's almost that time of year when we pull out the stretchy pants and lavish in a bountiful meal of thanks!  Oh, how excited I am this year!!  I have Thanksgiving day off and I get to spend it with my Sister.  Double Yays! :)  My mouth is watering for my mother in law's pumpkin roll and hopefully my other sister (who, I hope will read this before Thanksgiving day) will make a pumpkin cheesecake!

Speaking of pumpkins, I've fallen in love with orange-y lippies all over again.  This one I'm wearing is called Siren by Revlon.  I love the creamy finish.  As for my look, it sorta just came together on a whim.  I really wanted to wear this fabulous tulle and lace dress by Free People, but I wanted it to be more "day-time appropriate," so I threw on a button down, knotted it at the waist, slipped into some cowboy-esque booties, and I was ready to go.  I kept my jewelry simple with two of my fave necklaces as of late.  I made this gold wishbone necklace a while back, and the name necklace was given to me from my girl, Tiffheartfashion.  They would make perfect Christmas gift or stocking-stuffers.  Get yourself and a friend one, here.

Don't forget to enter my shopbop giveaway!

Golden

As a teen, the color gold never really appealed to me.  When picking out jewelry, silver was always the victor. Over the years, my love for gold has surely grown.  When looking at my jewelry collection most things are gold and even other accessories, like my handbags, have gold hardware.  The other week I saw this micro pleated gold mini, hanging on the rack by it's lonesome self and just my luck, it was my size.  I love that there are hidden pockets and an elastic waistband (perfect for the upcoming holidays, hahaha!) for ease and comfort.  I just wished I could have captured the true gold hue of the skirt.  Perhaps, another time.

It's beginning to feel a little bit like fall, here in Hawaii.  Well, at least what we locals consider "fall".  haha.  I love fall because, we get to buss out the booties.  These cognac booties are a great staple and every girl should own a pair.  They go with just about anything and the low heel is great to strut around in all day long. The tassel detail is a great touch.  If you want to get yourself a pair, visit, my hot shoes.  And don't forget, you can save 20% off your purchase by entering: sharon at check out.  :)

Loving you is RED

My friend, C, recently surprised me with Taylor Swift's new album, RED.  Yes, my secret is out, I heart Taylor Swift.  I've been listening to it non-stop since getting it and I love it.  The irony though, is that I can't personally relate to the album.  Sure, I've experienced heart break when I was younger, but I was also lucky enough to find the love of my life at a very young age.  It's a rare thing, and not a day goes by that I don't thank the stars above for having the Pirate in my life. :)  If you're a Taylor fan, pick up her album, and if you're not a fan, pick up anyway!!

I was feeling kind of lazy today when I threw this outfit together,  I've had this maxi skirt for almost 3 years and it's definitely my go to piece when I need something quick and easy to wear.  I kept the look simple with this double layered keyhole blouse and black flatforms.  Yup, flatforms.  Ha!

Rad to the Bone

I made this lace dress over a year ago and have only recently worn it.  I don't know why I didn't wear it sooner.  I love it so much that I wore it twice in one week.  Yeah, I'm that girl! Ha!  This bone necklace was another piece that Tiff from Bamboo Sky sent me.  It's is so freakin' awesome.  Who knew that a gold bone could be so chic and so RAD!  Of course I had to add more radness to the look with these all over spiked Lita's.  Another pair from my hubby.  The Pirate seriously spoils me way too much.  He's not only my soulmate-y, but also my solemate. For life.  For realzzz.

Don't forget that you can save 10% off your Bamboo Sky purchase.  Just enter loveelisharon at check out. :)  You can thank me (and Tiff) later. Get shopping!
