Happy!

I'm leaving to San Fransisco tonight and I just can't wait...the islands are fine...I need more city! Its only a 4 day trip but much needed. I'm happy!

Flavor of the Week

I don't know if it's because I'm an Aries, or its our generation...or what, each week I fall in love with something new and when I'm in love, I can't seem to get enough. This week, because of the cooler temps here in Honolulu, I put on tights. I purchased a drawer full in just the last week.

Sorry for the crappy point and shoot pics, I wanted to be a good lil blogger and post asap!

Come and knock on our door

When you live in Hawaii, you never have a shortage of visitors and this past week I was lucky enough to have 2 of my best friends visiting from Seattle and Arizona. I love having visitors and showing them around, its like I get to see the island again from a different perspective, and I get reminded how lucky I am to live in Hawaii. Thats kinda why the blog posts have been lacking...and why you are staring at a picture of me, close up...

Have a great Monday!!! Can't wait to blog all the fun shoes I have purchased in the past few days....

Office

Im so thankful that my working place is pretty relaxed about what we wear to work. This is super basic black dress with some of my favorite and most comfortable shoes.

Halloween

I was a 50's housewife and my favorite part of my costume was that my cherry pie, doubled as a purse...I had my cell phone, camara and ID all in there...and taxi money of course. Even though my costume was plain, people really liked it...especially the pie. You can imagine the jokes, I heard them all.

Honolulu goes nutso over Halloween, its like Mardi Gras in the streets...I left my camara alone for a mere second, I come back with random photos of people I dont know, and things a 50's housewife would never mention.

And so begins the holiday season...OMG where does the time go.

Halloween

Life has been so busy and thanks to somewhat of a promotion, its just getting busier.

Halloween is taking up at least two days of my weekend, and I can't wear the same costume 2 days in a row...so I pulled out my Middle Eastern meets Bollywood dress and think it will have to be my Friday costume...with of course more accessories and fun make-up. Saturday night, I have a 50's housewife complete with a cherry pie (pics to follow).

Lately Halloween costumes have reminded me of the quote from Mean Girls...

In Girl World, halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.

Vintage

I love love love vintage, I love that it has a story...maybe it was worn on a first date, or during a first kiss...maybe its something they hated, maybe it was theeee lucky outfit...its just so fun knowing that someone else created memories in a particular outfit that you now own.

One of my favorite vintage boutiques here in Honolulu is called CLOTH. After hand selecting each piece, the owner adds a modern twist. From reconstructing dresses, to shortening hemlines and chopping sleeves, each pieces has a vintage look with a modern flair.

This boutique is so close to my work, I should make more trips over...but my bank account is thankful that I dont.
