all the pretty flowers.

it wasn't the minty green that enticed me.
it wasn't the pretty florals that called my name.
it wasn't so much the fun romper that said, "try me on!"
it was the vibrant radiant orchid in the pretty florals against the minty green on the fun romper that screamed,
"i'm perfect for spring!"

a week of white denim. spring casual.

white denim at its spring best - paired with minty green.
if there's one hat you need, it's a fedora. a straw fedora is versatile because the style can be dressy, but the material is casual. i always have one in the car just in case. it's perfect for bad hair days, post- beach hair, and topping off a spring outfit.

a few photos below from a super wet hike this past weekend. this is normally an easy hike because it is relatively flat, but the mud made it challenging. mini-he was getting discouraged because he fell and was getting dirty, but i loved it. we've done this trail dry before...it was good exercise, but nothing exciting. this time, it was exciting. it felt adventurous.

do you wear hats? if so, what's your hat style?
are you the adventurous type?

mini-he was too cute...he kept "helping" me even though he was the one that kept slipping in the mud.

sailor shorts.

traffic killed our workout...
so we had mexican and margaritas instead. we had every intention of hiking but encountered some serious traffic. after being on the road for two hours and taking every back road possible, it was lunch time and we couldn't deny our growling tummies. of course, we felt guilty stuffed after that, so we walked it off with some window shopping in haleiwa. pictures of the weekend below, including the most interesting ice cream [flavor] i've ever had.

do you enjoy playing tourist in your home town?
what's the most interesting ice cream flavor you've tried?

playing tourist in beach town: sipping on peach maggies, the cutest summery shorts, and yummy homemade ice cream from Scoop of Paradise in 'creamy rose'...which actually tasted like the smell of roses.
watches that are literally on hawaiian time (old watches filled with beachscapes of sand, sea glass, and shells), mexican food, and ended the weekend with pedis + wine.

rainy season.

happy veteran's day to all who served and serve today.

a few years ago, my office swapped veteran's day for black friday, so i'm stuck at the office today. it's ok, though, i like quiet days at the office. this weekend was rainy, windy, and cold...yay! i can finally break out the scarves and make use of all of my sweaters.

how did you spend the day?

east vs west [coast] style. chunky knits.

welcome to the final week of the East vs West [Coast] Style collaboration. over the last four weeks, we showcased some of our favorite fall trends including leopard, leather, and booties. this time, we even had a chance to wear the same items, giving you the opportunity to see one item styled six ways. as always, it was interesting to see how location and lifestyle influenced style across the states. we're signing off with chunky knits from Lulu's, and these pretty necklaces from Libi & Lola.

Meaghan / District Sparkle / D.C.
Tracy / TheRightShoes / New York

west

Ashley / Pursuit of Shoes / California
Becks / oomph. / Hawaii


i love sweaters, but the temps are still warm here during fall.
pairing them with shorts keeps things comfortable.

double denim + summer layering.

it's been uncomfortably warm lately, even in the mornings and evenings when the temperature tends to cool down. as someone who usually prefers the sun on my skin and wind in my hair, i've even had to resort to using ac in the car. lightweight jackets come in handy during the summer. paired with a paper thin blouse, i'm able to continue layering throughout these warm, summer months.

mini-he just finished a week-long kindergarten readiness class at his new school. i'm happy to report that he loves his new school and friends and had no problem separating. (whew!) 
his big concerns? how come we aren't napping? i'm going to be tired. and, where's the playground? i think he'll do just fine.

what's going on in your neck of the woods?

after 18 months, our pineapples are finally ready!
i missed out on the first one since the kids gobbled
it up, but they said it was sweet.

a summer tank top.

we're dog-sitting bear while my sister is away, and while he's normally a spoiled house dog, he's now staying outside with foxy brown. i know he's miserably hot, because he's been loving the water and is right there every time i turn on the hose. i ended up putting a sprinkler on for everyone, but bear was such a sprinkler hog (see instagram clip). not even foxy brown
could get a paw in.

i'm guest posting over at Sisters Marie today showing you how to get the most out of summery items, like this beachy tank top, when fall comes around. check it out here.

mini-he was upset because bear kept hogging the sprinkler,
so i filled up a cooler and let him color the water
with food coloring. he was satisfied.

trucker hat and spiked shoes.

with kids, there's a lot of waiting around while they are at lessons, sports, and extra-curricular activities, so comfort is key. denim cut-offs + oversized sweaters is my go-to combo on the weekends, because it's simple and unfussy. and because i wear this quite often, i'll mix in different accessories to keep it fun...this time a trucker hat, spiked leopard shoes, and this bright green clutch i won in a recent giveaway hosted by jackie. it's the perfect size for an ipad, which is essential when you have lots of time to kill.

what's your mix for comfort?
