sunset from waikiki

in case you haven't been following along on IG, i'm back from my hawaiian holiday! what a amazing way to celebrate the start of a new year..i think i may have created my own new tradition. since all i ever dream of are tan lines and sunshine, this island paradise delivered on every level and left me wanting more (north shore to be exact).

i was stressing about sharing pics because i didn't want the entire thing posted on the book but mom and the fam wanted to see pics and they don't have IG. i remembered seeing a post about chatbooks and boom. one day later i had a book ordered of all the pics i posted from the trip AND it was SIX dollars. since, i spent every last cent i could on goodies from the land of sunshine.

so yay for chatbooks (which i will be ordering on the reg) and yay for islands in the sun. just what this beach bum with a mermaid heart needed.

wishing you all things wonderful and bright this new year! xo

(un)typical tuesday

I shook things up on Tuesday and had dinner with my besties and their sig others at SPAMPS. Um, can we talk about how long it's been since we've all gotten together? TOO LONG. Never again! Of course it was a blast, just laughing and being inappropriate and ordering insane amounts of BoGo sushi and drinking too much wine. The highlight though (other than my new caftan which I couldn't get a shot of because the bathroom was SO dark)? Getting to take a joy ride in Zach's new Jeep Wrangler JK..heaven. I got my own private star show from the backseat on the way home :)
