Kauai: Wait, Why Can't We Live There?

I want to go back....

Shall we go then?  Ok...

Fashion Friday: Gidget Goes Hawaiian

Before I left for Hawaii, I was sure to pack all my favorite 1960's-style, Hawaiian flower print dresses (and yes, I have more than one dress that fits into that category.)  I had it in my mind that this trip was going to be just like Gidget Goes Hawaiian and I was going to do plenty of parading around in cute 60's dresses like these:

Well, let me be totally honest here, the trip wasn't really all that much like Gidget Goes Hawaiian, but I did get to wear some pretty awesome, and perfectly cheesy Hawaiian print dresses, and I definitely got plenty of wear out of all my vintage-style bathing suits (along with a few sidelong confused glances from bikini clad women by the pool.)  Here's just a few pics....

Kauai: A First Look

I have so many pictures from Kauai that I really want to share, but I know I won't be able to...There are just too many!  But here is a first look at our trip via instagram...

Aloha!

Hello Blog.  I'm back.  Though, to be honest I feel like I need even more of a break.  I had a marvelous vacation with my family to Kauai and sort of fell in love with the island and their laid back way of life.  So the above picture is something of a motto I plan on adopting!

I've been seriously wondering if this blog is something I still want to keep up.  I've been doing a great deal of thinking about the value of this outlet along with how much I want to pursue it.  I've been also pondering the psychology of blogging and why I do it.  Why any of us do it.  It's a concept I do want to pursue further, but I also think I am going to slow down the posts a bit and use this opportunity to redefine this blog.  

As you can see there have been some changes around here to the template, and I am still toying with it...Be warned that it may change quite a bit more, as I am just experimenting.  The thing is I have so much to share - A lot happened this past week so there is quite a bit I want to blog about, but I'm afraid it may be a bit slow going for a while.  

I hope you will bare with me as I continue to regroup and get it together.  I plan to have a whole bunch of fun things for you soon!  And in the meantime, here's a shameful plug for work - Jigsaw London just marked down a whole bunch of wonderful clothes and accessories as part of their annual summer sale - so treat yourself to some massive deals for Independence Day!  Read more about it here.

Happy 4th of July Everyone!
