wedding blues.

what an awesome memorial day (and birthday) weekend it was! it was definitely a busy one jam packed with people to see, places to go, and yummy food and drink...but those are the best kind, right?

it started with a friend's wedding on friday to which i wore this pretty blue dress from Patty's Closet. the hotel has fireworks every friday night which was timed perfectly for the wedding reception. more weekend pictures to follow.

how did you spend your weekend?

the minis surprised me with my favorite ice cream cake.

snuck in a couple glasses of wine at the wedding. see that pretty floral centerpiece? it was supposed to be mine - i won it - but this annoying girl on our table asked me if she could have it! ugh...so i gave it to her.

awesome fireworks show.

did you catch it on my snapchat?

printed shift dress.

this dress from Patty's Closet was on point for mother's day brunching. its simple shape was comfortable, not to mention forgiving, for all the eating we were doing. and this long gold necklace from my latest Rocksbox was perfect for breaking up the pattern. a few pics from mother's day below.

how did you celebrate the moms/mother-figures in your life?

the cream pot, waikiki

i've been wanting to try the cream pot for a while and was able to get a last minute 12:30 reservation. i heard a lot of great things about this place and had high expectations. however, we didn't get seated until 1:30pm...and our food didn't arrive until 2:20pm (they close at 2:30pm)!

but...the food was really good and the presentation excellent. there were a lot of cute details throughout like their little white dishes and the garden-like interiors. the souffle pancakes is their signature dish, so we had to try that. mini-she and i split that and the eggs benedict. our table also had crepes and french toast, all which were very sweet, a lot of bread, and had us craving meat!

my recommendation is for everyone to order something savory, then get a couple of sweet dishes to share.

lemon raspberry souffle pancakes. 

off-the-wall eggs benedict with salted caramel sauce.

flowers from mini-he.

the layered tank.

hope everyone enjoyed their easter weekend. it was non-stop eating and drinking for me. i spent some QT with the minis at the beach, caught up with friends over drinks, and ate and ate with the family on easter. i finally picked up another piece of my home office - the desk. geez, it's been over a year since i bought the rug! it's progress. next up...the chair. 

i also managed to stop by Patty's Closet this weekend. they are stocked with fun spring pieces. this patterned black and white layered tank goes perfectly with denim. dress it up with a blazer or keep it casual with a utility jacket like i did here.

good wine with good friends.

dinner date with mini-he at genki sushi. he's a cheap date...only two plates + dessert for him. salmon for me.

acai bowls + shave ice.

refreshing big wave golden ale from kona brewing company after a day at the beach.

first time making broken glass jello (eggs). i only had one 6-egg mold, so the rest went into a pan, but props to anyone who makes this. it is hard work. mine isn't the prettiest, but it still tasted good!

super cute easter donuts from regal bakery.

endless jewelry with Rocksbox.

as i sit here looking up a my jewelry board, i'm reminded of all the necklaces i once loved but simply outgrew. i'm reminded of money spent on jewelry i liked but didn't love.
