A Hawaiian Winter

I'm so lucky to live in Hawaii, where in the dead of "winter," I'm able to rock cut off shorts and wedges.  Inspired by the beautiful weather we had today, I played with bold colors in electrifying hues.  Royal blue + tomato red make for a pretty snazzy color block look. 

On a side note, my camera took some weird pictures today.  All the photos below have no filter or editing done to them (except obviously for the b&w one), but isn't there a strange plastic look to the images? Weird.

What Willow Wears:

So I'm thinking that I want to start a little journal, of all the cute things Willow wears.  They grow so fast that I find myself changing her outfit twice a day just so I can see her in everything before she out grows them.  I want to make sure that I photograph as many of her outfits as possible followed by a little blurb of what she did that day. I'll call it …. (duh) "What Willow Wears" and for now, I'll just combine it within this blog, but eventually I would love to create her very own blog!!!

Here's her first entry!

I wore this to see the Honolulu City Christmas Lights tonight.  My favorite was Rudolf because my mommy sings that song to me!

instagram updates

My life lately? Willow all day, everyday, occasionally sprinkled with fashion and friends and I wouldn't have it any other way.  Every since last week Friday, I made sure that 150% of my attention went to spending the remainder of the holiday season with lady bug.  We've been insanely busy with work, so I told Shane that I was not going to think about work for at least one week. Which is why the website has been neglected since Black friday, buuuUUuut, I just updated it!!! See, even when I tell myself not to work, I work.  Aye!!! Anywho, if you don't follow me on Instagram, then you haven't seen the latest with Willow Bee. Here's just a few moments in Instagram from a few weeks ago.

Finally…a girl's night out! 

Perhaps I was a tad over dressed, but (a) that's just my style… go big or go home and (b) this WAS a momentous occasion.  The first time, in a long time that all the besties could be at one place at one time (except Neysa, but we made sure she was included via vulgar vm's and texts).  We've all been entirely too busy being responsible grown ups, so the other night we celebrated this rare freedom!  Let's just say that the next day, I was hanging like an unexperienced freshmen pledge during rush week. Aaaand hang overs at 30+ are at least 100x's more brutal.

Typically one to reach for the 9" platform, I was a little apprehensive about getting the Jeffrey Campbell Elegant loafers.  I don't own many flats, there only 4 in rotation to be specific...my Melissa jellies, my glitter Keds, my Nine West leopard ballet flats and my Tory Burch slippers.  Yep, pretty much in heels ALL THE TIME.  Perhaps that's why, when get a pedicure, they bring out the heavy artillery and start whispering to each other and pointing at me feet.  LoL!

Well... I'm sooooooooooo happy I ended up getting them! Much to my surprise, I've been wearing them er'day, no joke!  It's like, now all I see are outfits that match these studded beauties. They go perfectly with all my jeans that I can now comfortably fit again and they look great with all the shorts I've been living in.  I'm even tempted to rock these at night for a much needed GNO with my besties!

Anyway, I'm off to LA for a last minute buying trip and I'm delighted in the fact that I can pack solely around these loafers. ONE PAIR OF SHOES! That's probably a record, right?! Here are the other outfits I'm bringing.  Comfy, yet effortlessly cool… I hope : )
