Fighting Eel Top Abby / Vintage Esprit Shorts / J. Crew Gold Cardigan / Michael Kors Red Wedges / Vintage Scarf and Earrings from Barrio Vintage

My mom thought it was a good idea for me to wear her vintage Esprit shorts today, and boy was she right! I felt like Solange Knowles, and as far as I know, it can't get any better than that. The shorts also come with a matching fitted cropped tank that I'll definitely be shooting soon.

Fighting Eel Tank Twist in Tangerine Tango / Forever 21 Skirt / Vintage Earrings from Barrio Vintage / Sunnies from Homecoming Honolulu

I had a wonderful evening shoot this past Sunday with a very talented friend from New York. I'm usually squirming with jealousy every time I see his photos on Facebook, which is why I was beyond excited when he asked to shoot with me. Hoping next time I'm in front of his camera it'll be in New York!!

More pics to come!

The month of July has definitely been interesting. From going blonde, to being extremely accident prone, I think I'm about ready to tackle August.

Just received photos from a photo shoot today with a wonderful friend from New York, and I'm so excited to share! Stay tuned...

Petite Snake Necklace $176

Multi-Cylinder Snake Necklace (Bone) $195

Cylinder + Snake Spaced Bracelet (White) $110

Petite Cylinder Snake Necklace (Night) $120

I discovered Bones And Feathers Collective at one of my favorite local boutiques, Owens and Co., and I was literally (and still am) drooling over all these fabulous hand-made pieces! These amazing snake vertebrae jewels come from 2 talented women in LA and you can find them exclusively in Hawaii at Owens! The best part of these necklaces is that you can adjust them all to be long or short, which gives so many options for layering. I seriously can't get over how rad they are...

Sunset Diaries

Man, I'm dying for another staycation real bad. This is why I'm so excited to head to Fiji in 3 weeks, and live in my bikini for 10 days! It's such an amazing feeling to to be free of all obligations, work, and especially makeup! It's the perfect excuse to get away and be lazy without feeling guilty about it. I wish I could do this every weekend..or every day. But then I'd be broke, and I'd have to sell all my clothes. Never mind, forget that.

Equipment dress ( from Nordstrom Rack!) / Acacia Swimwear Byron Bottom / Sunglasses from Homecoming Honolulu $10

I love being up north. You feel so out of touch with reality, (except for the necessary Instagram) and it's the perfect time to wind down. I don't want to go back to reality!

More pictures to come!

Last Friday night I hit up Waikiki with my very talented friend Christian Cook. We had such a blast roaming the busy streets, and getting some awesome shots in the water! I'm beyond happy with how amazing and sharp the pictures came out. This guy rocks my socks! Excited for more fun projects and collabs to come!

Summer Dreams

Brandy Melville Leopard Tank Dress $30 / J. Crew Leopard Belt / Paloma Barcelo Sandal $119 Feathered Skull Earrings / Red Sunnies from Homecoming Honolulu

I think everyone gets in those moods where they just want to throw on something fast, and head out of the house.  This is why I love finding dresses or rompers that are comfortable, but also basic and stylish. They're perfect for summer time (or all the time here in Hawaii) and easy to dress up and down. And it's always such a score when you can find them for an awesome deal!

Summer Breeze

Brandy Melville dress $34 / Dolce Vita gold heels / J. Crew flower crystal necklace

I've been wanting this dress for forever, but I was never about to spend $140 on it! So when I stumbled upon it at Brandy Melville this week for $34 I was stoked! And it you're wondering about the back drop, my family friends were wonderful enough to let me shoot in their backyard today! It's beautiful and beyond amazing. The perfect Saturday!

B&W

You probably think I'm depressed or something because I'm posting a picture with NO COLOR. I know right!? I think this is me subconsciously transitioning into Fall. Or I can do what I do best and wear a colorful outfit, but just filter the photo into black and white. HAHA. 

I'm shooting with the wonderful Christian Cook tomorrow night in Waikiki. BEYOND EXCITED. GET EXCITED!

Ohhhh and did you hear?! Topshop and Topman is coming to a Nordstrom's near you! Well, at least near me! This is gonna be trouble..

 Vintage top from Barrio Vintage / Crew Cuts shorts / Dolce Vita Gold Wedges / Kate Spade Neon Plastic Clutch $100 / Hot Pink Vintage Fan Earrings from Barrio Vintage / Star Fish Cuff from Bamboo Sky $20 / Imi Jewelry Infinity Rings $25 each

I think I'm one of those people who will be into neon their entire lives. Or maybe I'm the only person! For me dressing bold and bright really reflects my mood and seriously makes me feel happy! No matter what people say, in my eyes neon will be IN forever.
