Stripes for days

July 15, 2020

Even though I teach from home, I still make an effort to get dressed and somewhat put together.  If you are an OG reader, you know there is not a striped shirt I won't wear so I was excited to style this Striped Tye Shirt from AVON.  Yes, AVON people.  Not your grandma's AVON but the New modern AVON.  It paired well with my white cut offs and Tory Burch espadrilles.  This...

Isle Style : Crochet Lace

July 31, 2018

Some say that minimalism can be a tool to finding freedom.  I have definitely felt liberated since getting rid of many of my items before the big move to Hawaii.  My next step is streamlining my wardrobe so I don't agonize in the mornings over what to wear.  Like most women I found myself with lots of clothes but nothing to wear.  And now my goal is to have less pieces and more...

Isle Style : Pretty in Pink

July 25, 2018

On Wednesdays we wear pink!   I've been waiting 14 years to use that line haha!  But I am going through a pink phase and this linen top is my new bestie. The lightness of the fabric is just perfect for beach life.  Wearing pink on Wednesday might be my new thing since I am trying to establish routines in my new home and soon my new job. I recently gave Stitch Fix a try and...

Isle Style : IH Binocular Bag

July 24, 2018

Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a little bit of an explorer in me.  When I was in seventh grade I got a pair of binoculars and would try to look deep into everywhere I could in the busy LA skyline.  Those binoculars were one of my first prized possessions. When I want to explore the island and not bring the kitchen sink, I reach for the Binocular Bag by India Hicks. It's...

Isle Style : Gold & Black

July 03, 2018

Moving to Hawaii meant a huge life and wardrobe change. I bought this skirt with the hopes of wearing it for Christmas and even though I did not get to do that, I kept it.  My purging before the move was rigorous but I felt that this baby had potential.  Although most people dress pretty informally I still personally need to add a little touch to my isle style.  When it comes...

Isle Style : Minimalism

June 26, 2018

  I have been on a minimalism journey for about a year now and this piece has made the cut for sentimental reasons and a practical one, because it fits!  B and I get rid of stuff each time we move and this last move to Hawaii has made us become super light.   When I was younger I wanted a big 2 story house with a nice yard and even dreamt of a huge closet.  But...

Isle Style : Beach Ready

June 15, 2018

The weekend is here and that means I have to be ready to go in a jiffy.  One of the ways that I avoid driving my husband crazy is by figuring out my beach accoutrements beforehand and then packing my bag as seen here.  As a woman I get the whole thing about not wanting to wear a bathing suit until your body looks amazing.  But now that I've gotten older, I just work with what I've...

Isle Style : White Raw Hem jeans

June 05, 2018

Although it does get hot here, I do love me some white jeans.  I took an old pair and raw hemmed them.  It took 5 minutes and now they are part of my summer uniform.  Another reason why I'm digging these jeans is because they can protect me from the mosquitos when I walk the boys.  I haven't had too many issues here so far, but we take the boys to the park often and the...
