Shopping and snorkeling

Two days ago we went shopping in Kailua, they have a bunch of adorable boutiques and great restaurants. The town were living in right now is pretty limited in both departments so it was nice to walk around and explore Kailua more. 

Even the bags at their whole foods are creative! Love this octopus, he definitely is going to inspire some art projects in the near future.

There were a lot of adorable clothes but since it was the day after the fourth, and everyone had 4th of July sales, everything my size was gone!! 

Luckaliy I found this adorable sheer butterfly crop top! By: Audrey

Yesterday my dad and I started with our six mike run where we found this lil guy:

Next we headed up to North Shore for some snorkeling in Sharks Cove. The snorkeling was AMAZING and we are definitely going back (next time were bringing an underwater camera). And don't worry, there arn't any sharks! It's called sharks cove because it used to be where the fishermen cleaned off all the fish guts off their boats, so there used to be lot of sharks hanging out waiting for the chum but no more! 

Thank goodness...

Next we went to the cultural center...

It was ok, but seemed more focused on getting your money rather than teaching visitors about culture/the history of the people of the different lands.

Today started out with some awesome salad at this yoga studio/cafe called Sweet Home Waimanalo. It was fantastic!!! And my mom and I are going to go do yoga there on Tuesday and Friday :) can't wait!

Mmmmm Kale ❤

The two day Hawaiian catch up

                                                           Aloooooohaaaaaa

First off, 5am wake up call for a beach run! Whoever said running on the beach is romantic has never done it for over a mile... Ouch ouch ouch! 

My dad and I did meet this adorable little Ilio (dog) who was watching his human friend enjoy a morning surf. 

We ended up running around/partially through a marine base because we were trying to get a certain amount of mileage in. I guess the base is only open on Sundays so were gonna have to find a new route tomorrow. 

Ohhhh, ahhhh

Next we went snorkeling in this (blurry) bay... I forgot the name, mainly because I was an unfortunate let down. The weather was just not having it and so the water was murky and the tide to strong to make you feel comfortable. I kept sucking in my stomach to avoid any urchin pokes *Ouch! 

I walked around the town were living in with Mike and Ryan though and then we all decided to go to our first polo match! It's like hockey on horseback and with more champagne, I loved it! 

Dress: Fire Los Angeles

Shades: Brass Plum

What a lovely day for a match.

Even the losing team gets a big "winning" hug. 

Crazy hair! 

Lip gloss: M.A.C Archie "stay sweet"

Today we started out taking a cruise on the Makani! Being from a sailing family, we ended up drinking Mai Tai's and swapping boat stories with the captain. 

Bikini: Victoria's Secret

Shorts: STS Blue 

So much fun. Next we went on a paddle boarding adventure! 

We were looking for sea turtles (everyone else saw them but me) and ended up seeing a pirates ship, fireworks, and way too many brides ruining their dresses in the sand and rain. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Bikini: Victoria's Secret

Tan: the Amazing Maui Babe

My mom the bathing beauty!

We did end up getting one beautiful rainbow!!

Afterwards we went to the shopping centers food court. You might laugh, or scoff, but seriously they have so many amazing options! There are people coming to visit Honolulu from all over the world so the food court is massive and has ever type of food you could ever imagine. We all got something different, and we were all happy and satisfied. 

Time to get some much needed sleep. Starting to miss my pals on the main land but loving life in Hawaii all the same! 

Aloha ;) kk

Aloha!!

So before I packed for Hawaii I went to the Martina McBride concert at Wente vineyards in Livermore, ca. Such a beautiful venue and AMAZING food and wine! Martina was also amazing , and had the greatest outfit and heels.

Here's my outfit for the evening... 

Dress: As You Wish

Jacket: Blanc Noir

Necklace: opal handmade, need to ask the boy where he got it from.

Anyways I should have packed before, the wine was a little too good...

So many clothes to pack so little time...

Shoes: Betsey Johnson 

Just the start...

I got in late last night and stayed at the Hyatt in Honolulu. The first thing I did was... You guessed it: got some Hawaiian sushi ❤

Next I bought this lovely pack of the Amazing Maui Babe. 

Seriously, if you can get your hands on some of this tanning lotion, take as much as you can. It gives the greatest tans ever and only in a few hours. ☀❤

I plan on buying more for my friends and I before I leave. 

Today I got a fruit bowl at the hotel and spent the morning with some lovely Macaws before heading to the beach.

After a few hours of tanning, we went down to the shops where I found this gem:

It's a ring by Jungle Girl Jewelry, an entire shell turned into a ring. I'm in love to say the least. Click on the link above to go to their website if you're interested in finding some of your own mermaid pieces.

Next I headed over to the Moana surfrider. This resort is gorgeous! They also make amazing cocktails 

Mmmmmmmmmmm

Tonight we moved into the house we're staying in for the rest of the trip. It's so lovely and beautiful but we got here so late, I want to take pictures in the morning. 

I'm moving my stuff into my temporary room now, more adventures tomorrow!
