Casual Fridays

This is normally the uniform of choice on Fridays.  Instead of the normal jeans and tee combo, this week I opted for an elevated rendition and threw on a pair of rad leather leggings.  I love the combined fabrics and you can bet I'll be reaching for these leggings constantly.  What does your Friday outfits consist of?

Happy Weekend-ing, guys!

Summer Uniform

Now, with summer break in full swing, I finally found some time to sew something for myself.  This little frock is very summer appropriate.  The easy breezy silhouette and low back, will surely help me beat the summer heat.  I can't wait to sew a few more, because this will easily be my summer uniform.  Hope you guys have a great 3 day weekend!  Be safe... and you should stop by soon, because I have a FABULOUS giveaway in store!  Y'all come back now, y'hear!  Chat soon, lovers.

Rainbows and Unicorns

Today's weather included, rain, wind, sleet, and snow!  Okay, maybe not sleet and snow, but it surely was a blustery day filled with lots of rain and wind!  I love days like this, when we get a break from the sun, but what I love most is what comes after the rain... rainbows!  And you know what comes with rainbows... unicorns!  Haha. I keed, I keed.   This unicorn sweater did keep me nice and warm, though.  And a little rain won't stop me from wearing these newly acquired sky high heels.  I love the metal heel and the rounded toe makes my feet look teeny tiny, almost doll like!  If you want a pair, get one from My Hot Shoes and don't forget, you can save 20%, simply enter "Sharon" at check out. :)

Hello 2013!

Hello 2013!  I welcome you with open arms, because I know this year will be incredible.  2012 was great, but this year will be better.  It will be a year for redemption, new adventures, and amazing opportunities.  I can't wait to see what this year has in store.

I want to thank all my readers both old and new.  Thank you for supporting me and my little blog.  I'm thankful for all your sweet comments and emails.  I hope you'll continue to stick around.  I'm also grateful for all the friends that I've made through my blog.  If it wasn't for the common interest of fashion, we would have never met.

Here, I give you my first look book of 2013.  A little something sweet to start off the year...

Daytime sparkles

Who says sequins are only appropriate for night time affairs?! Not, I.  Sequins is great for any and every occasion.  I wore this today to work.  The faux fur jacket was a great idea for the office, where temps get to near freezing!, but it was definitely not appropriate for these outdoor photos.  Let me tell ya', I was sporting a sweatstache in between snaps.  It was not a pretty sight!  Don't you just love this location where I shot my photos?  It's the Banyan Tree in Lahaina town.  It's one of the largest banyan trees in the US and this year it celebrated it's 139th birthday.  Amazing!

I recently discovered olive + piper.  They offer amazing and affordable costume jewelry.  I especially love that they carry statement pieces like the Neon Statement Necklace.  You'll surely get noticed while rocking that piece.  It's on sale right now (along with a lot of other great pieces) through Monday, so you should totally snag one before it's gone.  It would be perfect for a holiday party, night out with your guy or girlfriends, or paired with a white tee, jeans, and ballet flat combo for a day of running errands.  The lovely Tania sent me these bracelets.  Isn't the heart bangle adorable?  And who doesn't love a great spike bracelet!? The quality of these pieces are top notch, and I love that they have good weight to them.  Definitely not your flimsy-fall-apart-after-one-use piece of costume jewelry.  I also love that they don't turn my skin green!  Surely, these pieces will get tons of use!

Me and my boo, rockin' his UNIF Hellraisers. solemates. ;)

Black with a Pop

Still on a black on black kick, and because I love color, I couldn't resist adding this fluorescent top into the mix.  I'm thrilled that the weather is cooling down.  I was able to wear this blazer out without melting like the wicked witch of the west!  I love the contrasting white trim and I love how the back hem arches upward for an interesting surprise.  Talk about looking great coming and going.  Ha!  Also, still crushing hard on my JC Soiree's.  They go with everything!  Hope you lovelies had a great Monday.... now, if only Friday would hurry up and make an appearance.

Caramel + Mint

The color mint was definitely the hot color for spring and summer, and I think it's perfectly fall appropriate as well.  Accented with warm tones, this hue can easily transition into a fall wardrobe.  I received this perfectly pleated mint skirt from Christy, owner of Simply Audrey.  I love her boutique, because she carries sweet and feminine styles like this teal peplum blouse (um, yeah, I'm still obsessed!), and also rad pieces like the Back Weave detail dress.  This dress is MAJOR!  I would totally rock it. Wouldn't you?

My first instinct was to pair the skirt with something more structured, but instead, I decided a piece just as delicate as the skirt would be a better choice... at least for today. :)  I was feeling extra girly this morning.  Of course, the look wouldn't be me if I didn't add an edgy element.  This skull bracelet fit the bill; dainty, but super rad!

Lucky you live Hawaii

Just a simple casual Friday look, and yeah, the ocean is literally footsteps away from my office.  Prime location, right?  I'm pretty darn lucky to live in Hawaii.

Collar Love

I'm a smitten kitten when it comes to peter pan collars. There's truly something magical and whimsical about them.  It's playfulness certainly brings out the kid in me.  When I discovered the jewelry line, LAB by Laura Busony, I was immediately enamored with her designs.  I was a kid in a candy shop.  Her creatively talented mind and skillful hands craft such amazing metal collar necklaces.  And I also love that she sources vintage finds in some of her designs.

I was so excited when she offered to send me one of her beautiful designs.  I chose the Brass Oxford Collar Bib Necklace (due to it's popularity and overwhelming demand LAB needed to raise their prices and this necklace is now valued at $148.)  Laura, couldn't have described it better; basic, but still a little edgy.  I love it so much.  It's beautifully and perfectly made.  Thank you so much, Laura!  This necklace is surely one of my favorites!

Laura has been kind and generous enough to offer my readers 25% off you purchase from her etsy shop.  Just enter AlohaLAB at check out.  There are so many goodies to choose from.  The hard part will be picking out which one (or ones!).  Happy shopping, loves.

It's been a while

Sorry for the lack of posts as of late, but life has been busy and a lot of changes have been going on.  One thing that I've re-learned last week is that you don't take anything and especially anyone for granted.  Tell the ones you love, that you love them.  Heck, tell them a million times a day if you will, but most importantly show them that you love them.

On a sartorial note, if you asked me a year ago if I'd sport something camouflage, I'd immediately answer, "ew! no!".  After stalking the blogosphere and seeing everyone and their mama's donning the print, I decided to jump on the bandwagon.  Oh, how I can easily be swayed!  I found this men's (xs) shirt at Old Navy.  It's substantial weight in fabric will be great worn as a regular button down, and also my new cool fall jacket!  Double score.  Naturally, I added a few feminine and playful pieces; a pale pink lace shell with a peter pan collar and leopard pointy toe pumps.  I'm totally ready for fall.  Don't ya think?!

Things to come...

Ever since I made this top, it's been heavily worn.  I love it so much, I wore it twice in one week. Maybe I even wore it three times. Maybe. :)  I get numerous comments and emails about when or if I'm going to start selling this peplum design.  Perhaps in the near future, you'll be able to get your very own Elisharon-peplum.  I get lots of inquires about this over-sized clutch as well.  Maybe you'll be seeing that soon, too. (doesn't the inside pop of color make you giddy!?)

Hope your Monday went fabulously.  Whew, glad it's over.  Excited for tomorrow, because that means Hump Day is only a day away, and after Hump Day, the week is basically over and then it's the weekend! Wishful thinking. ;)

Izze

Lately, I've been obsessed with Izze drinks.  It's such a playful drink and is so refreshing.  Sure H20 is great and all, but a thirst-quenching Izze is also part of my beverage arsenal on a hot summer day.  My fave flavor would be Sparkling Clementine. Mmm!  Have you tried Izze?  What's your fave?

Hope you guys have a great day, Happy Aloha Friday!  :)
