You are the Polka to my Dot

I'm still on a polka dot high.  My friend, Becks of oomph sent me these adorable polka dot skinnies.  Thanks, Becks!!!  I absolutely love them.  They're super comfy and fit perfectly.  I couldn't resist pairing them with bright pink heels and a bright lippy.  A blush tone sweater with spike details and my mint suede faux croc clutch added more interest to the look, without going over-the-top.  After closer examination, I realized that half of this look was gifted to me (thanks, friends!), AND my signature Rayban aviators are missing in action.  Gah!  Now you know what's hiding under those sunnies... my hideous-under-eye-bags!  ew.  I'm also in desperate need of a haircut.  Ok.  Enough whining.  I hope your week if off to a great start!!  LOVE DAY is in 3 days, any fun plans?

Chat soon, lovelies.

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!

The way to my heart

The Pirate surprised me with these babies.  They're the perfect pair of heels for Spring time fun.  Measuring about 4" high, with no platform and minimal cushion in the sole, walking is pretty easy peasey.  Then again, I've only trotted around with them on, inside the house.  Can't wait to take them for a spin.  Thanks, Pirate boo, you definitely know the way to my heart.  tee hee!

Rumble & Bubble

A delivery from the Men In Brown (UPS) always gets me giddy.  I received my new JC's on Friday.  The Rumble is better than I expected; perfect taupe colored suede booties with just enough height.  Although we don't really need boots here in Hawaii, these are perfect for OUR fall/winter weather.

Don't you just love these rhinestone bracelets?  My lovely bloggy friend, Tiffany sent them over to me as a gift.  Isn't she a doll?!  It's from her (and her sister's) jewelry line, T + J Designs.  Check out their site.  They just launched their latest collection.  Fabulousness.

AND... I finally chose a winner (via random.org)!! Drum roll please..... Congrats to Crystal of Cryskay! Girl, I can't wait to see what you get. I'm sure it'll be something amazeballs. :) Thanks again to everyone who enter. And a big thanks to Shopbop too.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I'm off to enjoy the rest of mine.  Two more hours until it's Monday!  BTW, this is me trying to sport Susie's hairdo, but bigger.  I definitely love it bigger. :D

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story

Tonight was my last "date night" with Mr. Neal Caffrey.  I'll reunite with him in the winter. :D

I've had a full fringe for as long as I can remember.  I think it's approaching the 5 year mark.  Perhaps a change is in the horizon???  Is it weird that when I look at the photo below, I see a "stranger"?  I look so different with my forehead exposed.  Decisions decisions. >_<

I'm still obsessed with orangey-coraly lippies and was super stoked to have received a package in the mail today from my friend, Hana.  She included a couple lippies from Revlon.  I love the colors she chose (lipstick: Siren, lipgloss: Coral Reef).  And remember when she sent over this pink babies, well she also sent me another pair of sweet sandals.  I love the cone shaped heel. Thanks again, Hana... my shoe fairy. :)

Sari Dore Love

Remember my little birthday wish list?  Well, one of my lovely (bloggy) friends surprised me with something from my list.  Ling from Fashion and Number sent me the Chanel lippy (in Sari Dore) that I've be lusting for.  What a sweetheart, right?  Thank you so much, Ling!  I love it so much.  If you lovelies haven't check out Ling's blog yet, you should.  I adore her clean, chic, and effortless style.  I promise you'll love her as much as I do.  :D 

The color appears red-ish in the photo, but it's actually a gorgeous orange-y shade.  I can't wait to use it!!

Mondays are fun-days

I got an early bday gift the other day... and no, I'm not talking about the Guinness.

Love, S
